iView-795TPC: Impressive Mid-Range Budget Tablet

The iView 795 TPC 7" tablet is a fairly new contender in the budget tablet market but one with specifications that could rival that of the even the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and the Amazon Kindle Fire. Just to get things a bit fired up, below is a quick run through of the specifications of the iView 795 TPC 7" Tablet.

Usage has been quite smooth and to be honest was very comparable to that of how one would use a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 but without the Samsung Bloatware as it runs on stock android. Browsing of the web pages was also very responsive and load time was within acceptable standards which is most likely due to the fact that it runs a Dual Core 1.5Ghz A9 Cortex and is backed up with 1GB of RAM. Software that is being used by the iView 795TPC is Android ICS which means enables for one to operate quite smoothly between applications and widgets, though it would have been much better if it was more of the Jelly Bean Android OS. 

Internal Memory of the iView 795TPC is at 8GB of which you'll have roughly about 6GB of usable internal memory as the system shall require usage of some of the 8GB. Thankfully, it supports SD memory cards of upto 32GB which means you just have to transfer your heavy media and applications there to avoid getting a memory low warning. It also supports wifi connectivity and can support 3G connections via a 3G dongle. Wifi Signal is only limited to 802.11 b/g thus there might be some issues in this department. 

Camera isn't anything impressive with just a 2MP rear camera and VGA camera for Skype calls, but it does the job. In low light, it delivers rather grainy pictures, however with ample lighting picture quality is quite acceptable considering the resolution. Gaming is of now problem though with this unit as it can pretty much play any game that a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 can handle which is mainly due to the GPU Quad Core Mali 400MP and even goes at par with that of my Samsung Galaxy Note. Battery life though is no better than that of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 either but fairs pretty well considering that it is running on roughly a 3000mAh battery, giving users roughly about a full day's usage. 

I am pretty impressed with how this Mid-Range Budget Tablet has performed on personal use and has become my most highly recommended budget tablet for the year of 2013. Of course with this one out now I am sure that there'll be much more to expect from the other tablet providers out there. For now this is definitely the price and specs to beat.

Till Next Time...
