Datawind 7SC Tablet
Datawind has launched the Datawind
7SC aka Datawind PC 7SC budget tablet in India. Priced at Rs. 2,999 and offers
free Internet surfing for one year via the UbiSurfer browser as a result of its
tie up with RCom and Telenor networks this year.
The Datawind 7SC tablet will be
available online via Snapdeal, as well as via the Den Snapdeal TV-Shop. The
tablet also includes the company's Web-delivery platform that is said to offer
fastest mobile Web experience on regular GPRS/ EDGE based network. The
technology is said to be covered by 18 US patents and consumes 10 to 30 times
less bandwidth. The company however, made it clear that the free access to
Internet would not include audio/video streaming or local-downloads, which will
require a separate data plan.
The dual-SIM supporting Datawind 7SC
runs Android 4.4.2 KitKat out-of-the-box and features a 7-inch WVGA (480x800
pixels) resolution display. The tablet packs a 1.3 GHz single core MediaTek
processor (unspecified model), clubbed with 512 MB RAM. It also features 4 GB of
inbuilt storage, which can be further expanded via microSD card (up to 32 GB).
Datawind 7SC supports 2G calling and can
deliver 3G connectivity via a dongle. Other connectivity features include
Wi-Fi, USB 2.0, and Bluetooth connectivity. Backed by a 2,400 mAh battery, the
tablet comes with a rear camera (unspecified resolution) but misses out on a
front-facing camera. It is available in a Black colour variant from Snapdeal.
Free Internet browsing is only available
on a prepaid GSM SIM card from the aforementioned telecom operators. The
company in June extended the free Internet programme from handsets to all its
devices with mobile Internet connectivity.
