One of the things we commonly miss about tablets is the fact that be able to make a phone call. The phablets totally solve this but the size of their screen is not so satisfactory for the reproduction of contents. BQ Elcano es a 7-inch Android tablet what brings the option to make calls in addition to 3G. A great step from the Spanish brand that also brings out the model at a really low price that makes it very attractive.
It would certainly be ridiculous to put a 7-inch tablet to your ear, but when we work with a tablet on many occasions it would be great to simply go to our address book and call using the loudspeaker. With the tablet of the Spanish company we can do it.
Its specifications are more than decent. Your screen with IPS panel has a resolution of X which give exactly the same definition as Nexus 7, 216 ppi. As Dual 1 GHz ARM Cortex-A9 processor and with a Power VR Series 5 SGX GPU. Both are accompanied by 1 GB of RAM. Your operating system will be Android 4.0 Ice Cream SandwichThis is perhaps the most disappointing aspect because the next version, Jelly Bean, increases performance and improves the user experience significantly.
As storage has 16 GB but it will be expandable by microSD card. In addition, it will carry 1 port USB 2.0 OTG y Bluetooth 4.0. How sensors will carry GPS and gravity sensor. It will have two cameras: a front one 2 MPX and a rear of 5 MPX. And it will feature a 4300 mAh battery.
The differential part is its ability to insert a SIM card with which we will not only have connection to 3G Internet but it will also allow us calls with an application dedicated to it.
This possibility is a response to what many Android users have been asking for for a long time. Recently we taught you how to make your tablet with Google's operating system a phone, using Google Voice and another application, although it is true that there was the very important limitation of being able to make calls.
The BQ Elcano is a really interesting tablet and on top of that it gives us a monthly subscription to the Route 66 map app. The best thing is its price. Only 199 euros from January 14. Just great.
