Budget Tablets

Budget  Android Jelly bean Tablets in India

2013 has barely begun and we have seen tablets that not only boast of some good specifications under the hood, but also run on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean rather than 4.0 ICS.

One of the biggest disadvantages of owning a budget tablet is that you aren't sure whether the device will receive the latest Android version via an update. If the device runs JB straight out
of the box, you have the latest OS straight out of the box.

 Wickedleak Wammy Desire

The cheapest tablet on the list is the Wickedleak Wammy Desire. For a budget of around Rs. 7,000 this tablet is definitely worth it. It has some impressive power under the hood and a very appealing design. The unique thing about the tablet is that it is very well built. The only shortcomings of the tablet are the speakers and the battery life. We also wish the resolution of the display was better.
