The Real funbook at low price
Chitra K S (Jun 1, 2014)
on Gadgets 360
Micromax Funbook is the most feature-packed tablet in the affordable segment. The Micromax Funbook is the cheapest ICS budget tablet to hit the streets. Its biggest compromise when compared to the competition is the build and the battery. The screen too is a bit disappointing. Having said that, this is the slimmest budget ICS tablet available today. The 1080p MP4 playback was smooth and games like Angry Birds Space and Pool Master ran well. If you are in the market to pick up a budget tablet and are on a really tight budget, you can consider the Micromax Funbook.
The 350-gm tablet is powered by ARM Cortex A8 1.2GHz processor with a Mali 400 GPU and comes with 512MB RAM. The specs are enough to let the Funbook perform routine tasks. However, the display isn't all that bright and illegible in sunlight.
The tablet is designed and manufactured in India. Micromax has tied up with some leading names in the education sector to provide educational content on the Funbook.
. It has every feature that a student or working professional needs in his or her daily life. What makes this tablet a hit is its low price and powerful hardware. So, if your purpose is reading e-books, watching movies, and surfing the Internet, then nothing comes close to this device.
Pros :
1. Groundbreaking pricepoint
2. Above average internals
3. Ice Cream Sandwich !
4. Content Partnerships
Cons :
1. Below average battery life
2. No Bluetooth / GPS
3. Relative lack of tablet specific apps on Android

Awesome Tab under Rs 4500. Dont look back, Go for it
Ren (Dec 1, 2013)

Hi guys. This tab has forced me to write a review here. I have gone through many tab (Availble in flipkart) videos in YouTube and last landed on this. Bought with little panic as it has very low reviews. But am happy and relaxed. Not making this lengthy.. Will tell its pros and cons.
Pros:
1. Dual camera. ( Front cam ok for skype calling. Cant expect more from a 0.3 MP camera. Back 2MP camera is what i found exciting for budget tab. If you are a traveller, wife and children is at home, and want to show them some scenic beauty LIVE.. its the best. I connected wifi in tab and did skype video call to my PC. To be frank, the video quality showing in PC was more than i expected.. NICE QUALITY AND GOOD FRAME RATE..(No lag) Awesome..
2. Touch screen: Superb touch. Little lag while downloading/updating some app/games from internet. After downloading.. super smooth.
3. Good battery backup: Did Skype video call, Wifi was On, Pendrive connected, Played HD movies, Played 3d games (Temple run and Subway surfers), Browsed internet and the running time was 3.8 hrs with 11% of battery to be drained. Means you will get 4hrs of running time when full battery goes off.
4. Playing 3D Games: You can play 3D games without any lags. Temples run, Subway surfers etc worked fine and smooth. Nice they have Mali GPU
5. Playing HD movies: No lag, good clarity.. fast forward without lag..
6. Pendrive connectivity: Yes
7. 3G dongles: In description they have mentioned only TATA Docomo. But it does suppport MTS and Reliance Netconnect also. I have connected my Reliance Netconnect+ ZTE AC2736.. worked like charm
8. Internet: After fully loading page.. smooth scroll up and down. No probs. Youtube works fine, google maps, gps,gmail etc.
These would be the main things users look when buying a budget tab. Hope i have cleared all.
Cons:
1. While charging, you can't connect pendrive/3G dongle as both are in same slot
2. Touch little laggy while downloading/updating apps/games. ( I dont think this as negative when looking all Pros above ). Common guys..its a budget tab
3. Internal space 1.15. But if going for 4GB internal storage tabs under Rs 4500, some other cons will be there. Better to use an SD card for storing movies.
Hope this review will help future buyers to clear confusions.
Thanks flipkart for fast shipping and nice packing.

Perfect tablet within this budget
Rushiraj Shastri (Sep 1, 2013)
on Flipkart
The best part is it supports 3g dongle and mts works perfect. , and its been more than 15 days i am using this product. audio / video , screen resolutions , wifi , pre-loaded apps, work excellently ...you cant say that it has only 512 ddr3 ram it doesnt look it because it performs better then that.
Graphics is far better than expected.
with the help of micro usb you can connect any usb 2.0
gives excellent data speed using 3g speed using MTS dongle.
The only draw back is its battery life . if you use Continuous internet usage 3-4 hours, movies 2-3 hours , gaming 3-4 hours , standby time maximum a day.

good tablet at this price.u cant expect more
Vijay Vignesh (Feb 1, 2014)
on Flipkart
I feel this tab is little sluggish.it has inadequate ram in it only only 512mb!! .According to me this way too low. but i cant expect more than this from 4.2k tablet.only low profile games can be played.
it is good for only studying those who use tablet for reading newspapers,and those who are preparing for CSE who reads eBooks this suits you fellows and for this purpose battery will last for more than 5 hours not kidding under one condition only without WiFi.
buy this you wont regret....the value for money proportion is high in this tablet !!!!!!

its pretty good in specs......
* 1.2 ghz single core(this should have been a dual core)
* 512 mb RAM (not bad...but not good for gaming)
* internal storage 1.15 gb (what happened micromax...from 4 gb to 1 gb !!)
* graphics mali-400 2d/3d (thats plus point but this would work better with dual core processor)
* 480x800 resolution on a 7 inch screen (pls micromax increase the pixels)
* 2 mp primary camera and 0.3 mp front camera
* full HD video playback (thats good)
* a 2600 mAh battery......net browsing around 4 hrs and overall it has to be charged in less than a day.........heavy users would need to charge it twice (micromax pls increase the battery)
overall a decent tab at 5000 INR........its a typical micromax product as it has impressive specs in cheap price.......but i think it should have a better battery life(around 6 or 7 hrs of nte surfing)
this tab is made for indian customers......good specs and cheap on price!!
THANK YOU FOR READING SUCH A LONG REVIEW.....!!!!!

Good Value for money. FK delivered it on time and no hassles. Review needs to be 100 characters so I have to write more. Sound quality is better than the products that you get in this range. However it would be injustice to compare the processor with other high end tablets which would cost double.

I bought this tablet for my mother as she just needs to use basic apps like FB, Skype, Watsapp, Email and some games. It's working just fine and is great value for money. For slightly above 4000rs it's worth every penny. We can't expect graphics and speed like the ipad bec we are not spending that kind of money in buying this. The camera quality is good.. the front camera is just fine for skype. Games too work well. 3G dongle connectivity is very simple, you just insert it and you are online. For basic use this is a great product!

I bought this one for my daughter who is 3. She is loving it. It is a budget product, so do not expect it to be outstanding. But to be frank it is good value for money.
Downside : 1. Minimal Lag at times
2. The cover shown in the advertisement was different than what was sent, but then it is relatively a minor issue. The cover sent is a pouch and the one displayed is a mountable one with a flap.

I was sceptical in ordering the P255, as I wanted P257. But I got in on time thanks to Flipkart. This tablet is sleek, lightweight and compact than earlier versions. Speakers are at back. Good performance for reading pdfs, browsing internet, battery lasts for 4 to 5 hours easily. Its a good buy for budget price. Its for people who want luxury of a tab without spending much. Overall good quality product comparing to price range.

good value for money especially if you are buying it for 4-10yr old kids. although battery does not stand the run, rest all is fine except a slight lag in the processor which is also OK with the price you pay.
