I bought this tablet a month back from an online shopping website.My first choice was Micromax funbook or HCL me tablet as I was planning to buy a Budget tablet which price shouldn't be above 10000.While browsing for micromax tablet I saw this tablet.After some initial research on net I found that this tablet is a better than some other Tablet in the same price range (INR 6000-10000) as per technical specifications.but I was little confused about the Brand as this is the first time I heard this Name Devante. Then I searched again and found that this particular model T01A is already getting very popular in abroad as a Budget tablet in different brand name (specifications are slightly different )and reviews are good.So Finally I placed my order.
After 3 days I received my Devante 3D tablet.This tablet looks nice.Touchscreen is good.Yes you can't expect a I-Pad or Galaxy Tab feel in that price. Here are the specifications.
Android 4.0.3 Ice-cream sandwich, Allwinner A 10 1.5 Ghz CPU.512 MB Ram, 4 GB internal memory, Exp. upto 32 GB, Capacitive touchscreen.Log in to devante website for details.
No rear Camera.Only Front Camera 1.3 Megapixel. Sufficient for skype or other video calls.
Now comes the review.I was worried it would be under powered, but it's very capable of playing HD videos, browsing the web, playing games, etc.Battery backup is 5 hours for browsing after a full charge which takes around 3 hours.For video or audio or Games it gives me around 3 hours approx. so I am satisfied.
Sensors are good to play racing or other games.
Google play store is there.So you can install lots of free and paid application.Till now I installed around 50 Games and applications from Playstore & other Android markets and all of them working fine.(I didn't buy HCL me tab as it doesn't have Google play).Angry bird rio full and Fruit ninja is pre installed.I like to read books so I installed Kindle and its working just fine.Downloaded Free E books from amazon.
To watch 3D you have to wear that blue red 3D glass (which comes free with the package) as its analygaph 3D but HD 3D clips are excellent to watch.
Now some minor negative points.1st one is It works only with GSM 3G. Not CDMA. But if you are planning to use it only in WIFI zones (Like me) this is not an issue at all.In Micromax Tab user can use only Tata docomo.
2nd one I faced few days back.When Battery was 30% it suddenly shuts down and won't start till you plug in the charger.It happened 2-3 times.So I searched over net about this and found that many other Tablet users ( Samsung galaxy, acer transformer users etc) facing the same problem.I thought my Tablet has some problem but I found that the culprit is a bug in some application which is responsible for this.I am not a technical person to find bug in applications so I called their customer care.They said to reset my Tablet to factory settings.I did so But still facing the same problem.When called again They said they will upload a software soon in their website which I have to download and install.
But the customer care exe. asked me that what is the backup I am getting.When I said around 5 hours he said that is the correct back-up I am getting.The battery is working fine.The problem may be due to some Bug which is not showing the correct battery level.
So guys this is the review about my Devante 3D tablet. Good tablet for Rs 6400.
Update: Recently I compared my tablet to some of my friend's Tabs Like Karbonn, Viewsonic, HCL me which costs Higher than this.( That Viewsonic tab price was around 14K).And honestly I found this one is better than those Tablet.
