Bought this tablet recently and I have to say I am impressed by what it delivers at this price.
I'll write a customer friendly review rather than a tech-guru type high end review like others do usually, because experiencing the device yourself in-hand is always different from what reviews show on websites.
I'll start with the display. As soon as you open the device, you immediately get impressed by its size, 8 inches is more than enough to enjoy anything on it.
The display is bright, good with colors, apps interfaces look sweet in it.
Games also look great but don't expect nor compare it with high end tablets, simply because it's not any of those. You will get enough on it at this price. It has an IPS display so everything looks good.
I watched few movies and videos on it and they looked really good.
Overall performance of device was good. Though 1GB RAM feels less when you try to play heavy games, or when you try to multi-task. For example, while transferring/copying big files, if you try to do other stuff, it responds a little slower. But that's miner issue that happens very occasionally and one can live with it considering other plus points of device. Almost all everyday apps that people use most, works great on this tablet. The size of the display makes the experience more fun.
Micromax gives you two games on the tablet pre-installed but they are just demo games but are good to test the feel of games on big screen device, they run really nice. Played few more games on it and found the same performance, as long as you are focusing on doing one task at a time.
Sound is good on this tablet. I have seen many people complain about sound gets distorted at highest volume, but then again when do we ever play songs that loud? It's a personal device not a speaker system so I belive it's sound is great as it is. The app is saavn pre-installed, and you get free music for few months, great free goodie for those who love music.
Storage is 16GB but available is about 10gb as rest is reserved for Android OS. Fortunately you can add addition SD card on it. Back camera is good for daylight pictures, but I have my smartphone for that purpose so I didnt use it much. Front camera is good to check if your hair looks good.
Now the most important part that makes anyone love or hate a device - Battery!
Before I bought this device, I also read many reviews on it and most people complained about its bad battery, I was worried a little but now, not anymore after seeing it myself.
I have used many Android devices in past, IOS devices too, one thing I noticed in every device is that mobile data drains most of the battery as compared to all other things like WiFi etc. So I didn't use my Sim on this tablet when I received it and only used WiFi on it. The battery was 70% when I first started using the device. I played regular games on it, multi-player games on it for more than 2 hours, downloaded apps, watched an HD movie, transferred data, surfed the Web, WiFi was on all those time. In the end I had 14% battery left after all this and almost 8 hours had passed by that time!! 8 hours of heavy usage and battery survived! That is very impressive considering the size of the device and it's display as big displays use/need more power compared to smaller ones.
The next day I used it very casually, Startin from full charge it it survived for full day. Both times I didn't have any Sim in the tablet, so no mobile data, only used WiFi. I know many would say why not use Sim when you have the feature, but for me, that is purpose of smartphones, walking around with an 8 inch tab on your face while making calls is just weird. Smartphones are best for that, not tablets. Though tablets are best for video-calling. Bigger screen, better experience.
So for those who want to buy this tab but are worried about its battery life, I would suggest them to only use WiFi for Internet related purpose on it and you'll get good battery life out of it. Use Internet on your smartphones and make Hotspot for the tablet through it, if your only source of net is through Sim.
Don't compare it with smartphone battery life since it's bigger in size so uses more battery, rather compare it with a laptop which also has bigger display like it, who also gives 7-10 hours on average of battery, and you'll understand that it is good.
Conclusion: for 7300, This tab is a fair deal. If you want to enjoy what you love on a bigger screen, go for it, you'll love it. For First timers, average and intermediate users, this tablet is great at this price.
For hard-core gamers, those who only want to buy a tablet for gaming, you need to increase your budget and search higher, heavier games need more RAM.
But for a casual gamer, this is good choice.
