Aakash 2 Tablet launches on November 11 for Rs. 1,500. Aakash tablet full specifications and price India.
The much awaited Aakash Tablet 2 finally has an official launch date and price tag. The original Aakash Tablet was an utter failure, and it brought much shame on a global scale, especially with it was covered by world’s most popular technology blogs as the $35 cheap budget Android wonder tablet from India. The original Aakash tablet was so bad that it’s display never even worked when people tried using it. The resistive display was an utter flop. Couple that with Android 2.3 and the 256 MB of RAM and tons of delays missing all deadlines and the tablet was asking for a complete fail. We hope that the Aakash Tablet 2 will change all of that.
Aakash Tablet 2 Full Specifications
The Aakash Tablet 2 hopes to correct what was wrong. Swapping the aged and weak 800 MHz processor, the new Aakash Tablet 2 will sport a 1 GHz processor most probably based on ARM’s Cortex A8 or A9 architecture (faster). The tablet will also most likely sport 512 MB of RAM, although rumors of just 256 MB RAM is short. We fail to understand how they can make Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (that they plan to ship the tablet with) will run smoothly in just 256 MB of RAM. It is similar to try running Windows Vista on your old Windows XP PC with 512 MB of RAM. Lag and jitters, that is the summation of the experience to follow.
The display this time is to be a capacitive type (finally). This should bring better touch response and definitely a display which is at the very least usable. The battery rating is unknown but the battery life promised is 4 hours, which seems below average. But the pricing makes us not want to complain.
The Aakash Tablet 2 will be made by Datawind itself, the makers of the original Aakash Tablet. A lot is riding on the Aakash Tablet 2 (to turn out to be good), including the reputation of the IIT group (developing the product) and the Govt. Of India (endorsing the product). For their sakes, this better turn out good. If it does, the consumers will have an excellent budget tablet choice provided to them. Mainly targeted at students, they will be the ones to derive the maximum benefit from this.
Aakash Tablet 2 Price in India
The Aakash Tablet 2 is rumored to sell at a lowly price of Rs. 1,500. At that price, anything is acceptable and it simply does not leave any room at all for complaining. It might be that this price will be applicable only to students. Well, we have to wait to find out. Even at a price of under Rs. 3,000 people will buy the product, if and only if it turns out to be any good.
Here’s hoping!
