If you are already struck by the fact that there are tablets with prices between € 100 and € 200 and you do not know the tablet Aakash, you probably have a hard time believing that this one was sold for less than € 60 ($ 65), and which were even cheaper for Indian students ($ 23). Well, the cheapest tablet in the world is going to have a sequel that is believed to not take long and will keep the same price despite the improvements. What features will the Aakash 2 offer us?
Cheap tablets are always covered in some controversy and criticism of having a hardware too poor to be of use hangs over them. However, there are also many who believe that it may be a attractive alternative for those who do not expect to be heavy users of these devices and who the prices of higher quality tablets are overwhelming. We present the technical characteristics that the Aakash 2 is expected to have and compare them with those of the current queen of 7 '' tablets, Nexus 7, which is sold for $ 199, for each one to issue their verdict.
Screen. The Aakash 2's resolution is supposed to be 800 x 480 pixels, and it will feature improvements regarding angle viewing and color saturation. Google's Nexus 7, practically double your definition, with 1200 x 800 pixels.
Battery. Aakash 2 should bring a 2100 mAh battery, which would give a range of approximately 3 hours. The Nexus 7 battery, meanwhile, is 4325 mAh, and it is supposed to allow a few 9 hours video playback or 10 browsing or reading.
Conference proceedings. 2GB and 4GB will be the alternatives available for the Aakash 2, although they will also have a microSD card slot that would increase their storage capacity. Nexus 7, on the other hand, offers the possibility to choose between the 8GB and 16GB model. Also in RAM memory multiply by 4 the capacity of Nexus 7 (1GB) compared to Aakash 2 (256MB)
Processor. This is a basic point, without a doubt, and the truth is that Aakash 2 would only offer an 8MHz Cortex-A800 processor, compared to the Nexus 3's Tegra 7.
Operating system. At the moment, for the Aakash 2 nothing more than Gingerbread 2.3 is expected, although there has been talk of a upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich before its launch. Nexus 7, of course, works with the new Jelly Bean (Android 4.1).
