BSNL penta tab 701C review

The tablet is very good value for money @ rs 4330 (thanks to rocker bhai for rocking deal)

Pros :
Not very expensive
7" multi touch capacitive screen
average battery life (3000 MAH)
plays hd videos
good sound quality
4.0 ice cream sandwich out of the box
powerful 1ghz processor
flash player support
good for using as ebook reader

Cons:
no sim support (u can’t expect that in tab)
vga camera
not very great screen quality
plasticy build quality
512mb ram not too great for multitasking
no bluetooth

overall nice tab but if you do to much multitasking(5-6 apps) then it will lag or hang a bit

It has a mic, otg pin, hdmi pin, usb port, 3.5mm jack, card reader and charger pin on the sides
it has only 2 buttons – power and volume rest are on screen ones

here are some pics http://imgur.com/a/F…#0

I tried using usb mouse with it and it worked very well , I don’t have a usb keyboard ,if someone has then please try and post here
also tried using usb hub for multiple usb ports and it also worked
recorded a few videos but they are taking too much time to upload

Hi Ninjaboy,
Finally, I bought bsnl penta 701c tablet from Infibeam. But, the problem with tablet is.. it is only showing 280 MB RAM instead of 512 MB. n when I called Penta Customer care they told me that this is an issue with RAM upgradation software. But in reality my tablet has 512 MB RAM only.. Is it possible???

Please reply! if anybody know the solution or know about the this problem.

bro maine bhi 701c abhi liya hai… uska charger pin bhi shock deta hai….. jisky wajaey se ports main bhi shock lagta dai…. I think this is because its an AC charger not like mobile charger…. Aur garam hota hai to hone do… but charge hone keliye use 3 hrs to lagana padega ….. ;/
