Listed as an ‘infotainment device,’ the Intex i-Buddy claims to bring features that might perhaps attract those on the lookout for their first tablet or a relatively inexpensive one. The device falls within a very similar price range as the Ira Thing 2.
The slab binges on the Ice Cream Sandwich platform and a 7-inch capacitive display with five-point touch and 11.1 Flash support dominates the front panel. Zooming in and out to view content with greater detailing should be effortless, courtesy of the integrated Flash. Additionally, users can take advantage of the front-facing camera to conduct chat sessions via Skype.
Sanjay Kumar, General Manager, Mobile Business, Intex Technologies, remarked, “Being India’s most literate and evolved region, the southern states hold a very important position in our growth strategy especially for the mobility business. South is one of the largest markets for technology products with 26% of India’s mobiles getting sold in South India.â€
“It is definitely a potential market for Intex as well. We aim to grow multifold in the southern states. The brisk economic growth in these states, contemporary lifestyles and buying behavior amongst the youth makes it an appropriate destination for offering Intex’ latest android tablet – the i-Buddy – which is the slimmest 7†tablet in India,†added Kumar.
Powered by a 1GHz processor, this low-cost slate incorporates 512MB DDRIII RAM that caters to memory needs. Users can even opt to expand the internal storage up to 32GB through flash drives. For browsing purposes, the Intex device tags along connectivity features like 3G dongle compatibility, GPRS and Wi-Fi. On the entertainment front, it offers pre-installed games such as Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja.
The Intex i-Buddy price in India stands at Rs. 6,490. It can be picked up drenched in a champagne color.
