Gaming enthusiasts eagerly waiting for a new gadget to gorge on can turn their attention to the latest JXD S7100 tablet. This new Android-powered slab is claimed to enter complete with a D-Pad and face buttons especially fashioned for gaming. According to The Verge, the 7-inch offering features an 800 x 480 capacitive touchscreen where content can be clearly displayed, be it games, videos or pictures.
The tablet seems to be packed with a lot of interesting features that include an ARM Cortex A9 CPU and Mail 400 GPU along with 16GB of storage and 512MB RAM. Besides packing in loads of hoarding space, it also comes with a HDMI-out option for viewing content on the television for a wider number of spectators to enjoy. Running on Google Android 2.2, the newest entrant is supposedly aimed at tech enthusiasts on the lookout for retro arcade games.
As spied on a video put up on Shenzhen manufacturer JXD’s official website, a gamer is shown interacting with both classic ROMs as well as touchscreen titles. Furthermore, games and apps can be plucked from the company’s storefront which is accessible by sliding the main interface to the left or right, respectively. Apart from the gaming-specific controls strewn across the front of the device, the convenience of shoulder buttons have apparently been given a miss.
Furthermore, the S7100 caters to shutterbugs by rolling out with a 2 megapixel rear camera and 0.3 megapixel front snapper. Other specifications include Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n connectivity and support for MSN, Facebook, Skype and email along with picture browsing and slide playing. The slab that measures 238.5mm x 121.7mm x 12.35mm also dishes out a 3.5mm output and 2.0 USB options.
The Android gaming tablet JXD S7100 price reads at $139.99 (approx. Rs. 7,408), although the exact availability details are still unclear.
