We knew this was happening, we were very sure there is going to be yet another company which would soon announce another entry-level Android tablet in the Indian market. However, we never thought it would be Mercury and to be honest, I have never heard of them before this.
So as you know, in the past, a few affordable Android tablets have showed up in India, and to name few we would like to include the Reliance Tab 3G, Beetel Magiq and the Magnum Pepper Tablet PC. Adding to this list is the new Mercury mTab which is packed with some decent features and is priced at 9,499 INR.
In regards to the specifications the tablet runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread and has a 7-inch display WVGA TFT LCD touchscreen. Now we ‘ll move to its 1.2 GHz triple core processor, which we highly doubt and even if it does include something like a triple core processor, it may not be the actual thing. Apart from this, the Mercury mTab has 512 MB RAM, 4 GB of built-in storage, a microSD card slot with support for up to 32 GB, optional 3G, WiFi and a 1.3 megapixel front facing camera.
We did some research on the same and found an Android based Chinese tablet which may be powered by the same processor. According to the company the tablet should be available in the market shortly (we would be waiting) and will come with a one year warranty. Let us know your thoughts about this new tablet device.
