Snapdeal has recently started selling the MapmyIndia Carpad 5 in India, which happens to be a heady combination of a tablet and a smartphone that even features a built-in GPS navigator. The 5-inch slate hides a Samsung processor under the hood and operates with the help of the Android OS.
The device’s TFT HD capacitive multi-touch display renders clear visuals in 800 x 480p resolution and draws power from a 2000mAh battery. A 1GHz Cortex A8 chipset makes it capable of carrying out multiple tasks at the same time and the Gingerbread platform v2.3.4 makes for an intuitive user interface. Needless to say, users can access the Google Play store for browsing through thousands of applications.
Furthermore, the slab comes with a SIM card slot for phone functionality and 2G network support. Its communication options are inclusive of EDGE, GPRS, 3G, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g as well as Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR and the device is also embedded with a miniUSB port and a 3.5mm standard headphone jack. An expansion slot for a microSD card has been provided for additional memory storage of up to 32GB.
Deployed with an e-compass and a G-sensor, it comes with the GPS navigator that offers live turn-by-turn voice guidance along with travel guides, 3D landmarks, information regarding house levels and more. Audio and video players have also been added to the mix for keeping users entertained at all times.
The MapmyIndia Carpad 5 price in India is tagged at Rs. 19,990. But, prospective customers can pick it up from Snapdeal for Rs. 17,990. It is packaged along with windshield mounts.
