Funbook pro coming out soon

[theserpent]

Remember the Micromax Funbook we reviewed back in April? Well, now Micromax has just updated its website with a larger 10.1-inch variant of the Funbook tablet which it calls the Funbook Pro. Micromax should launch it sometime next month but the pricing of the tablet has not been decided yet.

As far as specs go, the Funbook Pro features a 10.1-inch display with a resolution of 1024×600 pixels, a 1.2GHz single-core processor tied in with dual Mali 400 GPUs, a VGA front facing camera, 8GB of internal memory along with a microSD card slot that supports up to 32GB of storage, Wi-Fi connectivity and 1GB of RAM. The Funbook Pro will run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

While the previous Funbook did indeed provide a palatable tablet experience at a pleasing price point, it failed to deliver sustainable reading experience owing to a very poor display. Hopefully, Micromax has dealt with the criticism and will arm the new Funbook Pro with a much better display.

If one compares the specs of the Funbook Pro with the older 7-inch Funbook, Micromax has added a larger, higher resolution display and has doubled the RAM and memory.

Good. I was thinking of buying Funbook for my dad, if Micromax sets a sweet price point then I will go for Pro.

[theserpent]

Actually funbook pro,Will be a good competitor to google's nexus 7.
The Main con of nexus 7 is its limited memory .
Hope it's priced under 10k

this website says prices can be below 10k. If its true then it will be a huge success.And even a tough competitor to the nexus 7.
Only pro in nexus 7 is its nvdia tegra 3

^^ we should not speculate on sources other than manufacture

[theserpent]

^^ hmm ok.Whats the chances of it being under 10k?

[RCuber]

more like 12K+ .. please note they have not only upgraded the LCD but also RAM/Memory.

EDIT: reconsidering.. 10.5 to 12K

[theserpent]

I really wish it will be under 10k.
But isn't nexus 7 price to less compared to its specs?

[RCuber]

^^ ASUS/Google can take the risk of selling a product at lower price.. regular players cant. Micromax IMO has lower profit over cost of production of their devices.

3.5K + for larger LCD/more RAM/Storage/Battery? .. I dont think LCD and RAM are cheap to upgrade.. thats my only concern right now.. so based on additional hardware cost Micromax would set the price for Funbook Pro. Seeing the history of Micromax IMO they would still set the price at a sweet spot

Why are you guys attacking noob. I'm sure he's just not pleased with the screen res, and isn't meaning to offend any member.

[DeSmOnD dAvId]

No GPS still?

[icebags]

hope the screen will be better with good sensitivity. current funbook has touch issues with regular market styluses.

[kool]

again no SIM slot. Why company are making w/o sim card support.

[Rishi.]

No dual-core ? Oh come on.
It should have been dual core.

REz should have been little more than 1024x600.

[ankit.kumar010203]

No dual-core ? Oh come on.
It should have been dual core.

REz should have been little more than 1024x600.

Yes,It Should Have Dual Core processor With 3g Sim Card Slot(Inbuilt 3g)
Its Better To Add 5k To Budget And Buy iberry BT10..Atleast It Have Inbuilt 3g With 10.1 Inches Screen..

[Terabyte]

Doesn't have much over original Funbook.
If its going to cost 10k+ then better to get Nexus 7 by adding few more grands.

[theserpent]

Bi*ch Please. No.

Yeah guys he meant the resolution.Yes i understand what he meant i just read the 1024 part.
I agree with him,what is this resolution 1024x600 why could't they keep it 1024x800 or 1280x800 instead

[ankit360]

1024x600 is not good for 10" display. Also single core processor is bad .

If they call it "pro" they should come with good spec.


I don't know why if kindle fire. And galaxy nexus 7 selling at low cost why Indian company can't make it

I think they can easy provide device like kindle fire @ 12k or nexus 7 like device @ 15k
