XOLO yesterday launched its new Play Tegra Note in India. The tablet sports a 7-inch (1280×800) LCD, and comes with a stylus for writing and drawing purposes. Under the hood, there is a Tegra 4 SoC (1.8 GHz quad-core A15 and 40S GPU), along with 1 GB of RAM.
The Play Tegra Note features WiFi a/b/g/n, WiFi hotspot, Bluetooth 4.0, microUSB 2.0 and GPS for connectivity options. On the rear, there is a 5 MP camera; while the front has a VGA camera. It is powered by 4,100 mAh (15.`7 Watt) battery. Running Android 4.2.2 (near stock), it is said to be upgraded to Android 4.3 soon. Other usual features include Light Sensor, Gyroscope, 3.5mm headset jack, and Proximity Sensor.
The tablet has been launched at a price of Rs 17,999, and comes in only one colour. You can also pre-book one here, which will get you a smart cover worth Rs 2,499 (as per the company website) for free. Looking at its price, it is quite clear that the company wants to get some consumer attention, with the Nexus 7 and iPad mini Retina currently in the top two places; it will be hard for XOLO to compete if they price their devices at par with these known contenders. This new tablet seems good on paper, but can only be described once tried for a fair amount of time.
