Lava E-Tab Z7H (Rs 5,500)
Lava's first Android tablet is also one of the cheapest but offers Android 4.0, and a 7 inch capacitive touchscreen with 800 x 480 pixel resolution. It has a 1.2 GHz processor coupled with 512 MB RAM and 4 GB internal memory.
It only has a front facing VGA camera and 3G support through a dongle. It uses a 2800 mAh battery.
While those are fairly standard specs for budget tablets these days, Lava in a smart move is offering lots of bundled content and services which include 14 books worth Rs 4,000 free from Tata Mcgraw Hill with this tablet.
The books include Dhirubhai Ambani's biography, APJ Abdul Kalam's Ignited Minds as well as personality development books on topics like word power, preparation for interview etc.
Merit Nation, a content developer, is also offering a Vedic Maths module free of cost as well as Rs 750 discount on content bought from Merit Nation. There is also free content worth Rs 1,250 from Hungama.com which can be streamed and includes six movies and a lot of music. Amir Khan starrer Three Idiots is also preloaded on the tablet.
Lava has tied up with Tata Photon (Tata Docomo) to offer Tata Photon+ dongle for Rs 750, which includes 6 GB data for the first month and Rs 100 discount on any unlimited pack every month for 12 months.
Most users who have bought the tablet have praised its performance, though there is a complaint that the tablet hangs when used with a Tata Photon dongle. Although on WiFi it works fine.
