Lava E Tab Z7S
Lava E Tab Z7S Tablet Price in India
Lava has now been producing tablet phones for quite a while now, most of their releases go unheard of as they don’t make a huge deal of releasing a new product out in the market. Their tablets come loaded with all the basic features you can expect from an average tablet and have a minimalistic approach when it comes to equip their devices, thus keeping the prices low. The Lava E-tab Z7S is yet another device keeping the same Lava tradition alive. The E Tab Z7S comes loaded with 7 inch touchscreen and it is very considerably priced.
Features and Specification:
The Lave E Tab Z7S comes loaded with 7 inch touchscreen, but don’t get too carried away with the screen size as it lacks HD display and the screens resolution is just 480x800 pixels. The processor of the tablet is also not the best and is just a single core processor which clocks in at 1 GHz. The Ram is 512 MB DDR3 unit whereas the ROM of this device is 4 GB and it can later be expanded to up to 32 GB with the aid of the micro SD card slot. When it comes to specs this tablet is not very heavily equipped as compared to what the iBall has to offer in this price range. Same is the case with the camera where the iBall 7236 tablet offers a 2 MP camera at the back and a 0.3 MP camera upfront the Lava E Tab has just to make do with a 0.3 megapixels camera at the front. Additional features come in the form of apps like Facebook, nimbuzz and a ton of other games. The tab has a GPS sensor, Wi-Fi, USB connectivity, Bluetooth and it supports 2G and 3G connectivity with a USB dongle.
Design and Quality:
The design of this tablet very conventional. Upfront we have a landscape layout, the screen covers most of the front side of the tablet and android style navigation keys are integrated on the bottom edge of the screen rather than on the body. There is only one camera on this device and it is located on the top right of the tablet. There’s a monogram saying edge under the camera. All the connectivity ports are located on the right hand side of tablet, which includes micro USB port, 3.5 mm audio jack and the memory card slot. On the backside of this device has a very neat matte finish and has painted silver. This contrast in color scheme really gives the tablet a very sophisticated look to the tablet and it feels good to hold in the hand.
OS and Tech:
The tablet comes loaded with the now obsolete Android v4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). This OS coupled with the 1GHz processor results in very slow performance, swift multitasking is not what you can expect from the Lave E Tab Z7S. Most of the tablets in this price range now come with the newer, less memory consuming OS Android Kit Kat, like the iBall mentioned earlier.
Camera and Multimedia:
The Lava E tab Z7S has a 0.3 megapixels camera upfront and the camera’s quality is not that good, it is just there to allow video calling and that too if you are sitting in a place with bright light. Otherwise all that you will be able to see is your eyes and teeth occasionally when you will smile during a conversation over Skype. The display of the tablet is also just average, with the picture quality quite dull and the viewing angles aren’t the best available.
Battery and Memory:
The tablet comes loaded with a 2300 mAh which can provide a backup time of just four hours over 2G. Translating this in average use, it won’t be able to go through a full day without once putting it on charge. The Ram of this particular device is just 512 MB and the ROM is also on the lower side of 4 GB. The micro SD card slot can hold a card of up to 32 GB, though if you spend a bit more money you will be able to grab a device that will be able to hold a card much bigger than this.
Pros and Cons:
For Pros:
· 7 inch touchscreen
· Affordable price
For Cons:
· Average display
· Bad battery timing
· Loaded with the old android
Verdict:
The Lava E Tab Z7S is not the best device currently available in the market, especially when the market has become this competitive in the recent years. The iBall 7236 tablet is definitely a better option than this as it is more generously equipped and gives a better value for money.
