BSNL Penta T-Pad WS704C (WiFi+3G+4GB) Overall Review
The BSNL Penta T-Pad WS704C represents an interesting entry into the budget tablet market, particularly for those seeking basic functionalities without breaking the bank. Launched alongside other models to compete with the likes of the Aakash tablet, the T-Pad WS704C aims to deliver on essential features while keeping the costs low.
Sporting a 7.7-inch LCD display with an 800×600 resolution, the tablet offers a modest viewing experience. Its screen size and resolution are tailored for basic media consumption and web browsing, keeping in line with the tablet’s entry-level positioning. The device is powered by a 1 GHz single-core processor paired with 4 GB of internal memory, which is expandable via a dedicated memory card slot up to 32 GB, providing enough room for essential apps and media.
Running on Android v2.3.5 (Gingerbread), the T-Pad WS704C caters to users with minimal requirements from their tablet’s operating system. This older version of Android means that while the tablet can handle basic tasks, users may find limitations in app compatibility and performance compared to devices running newer versions of the OS.
Photography is enabled with a 2 MP rear camera and a 0.3 MP front camera, suitable for basic photography and video calls. The device’s connectivity features include 3G, Wi-Fi, and HDMI, allowing for internet access and multimedia output to larger displays. A 4000 mAh battery powers the device, which is sufficient for day-to-day tasks without frequent charging.
