Lava has announced a new budget android tablet Lava QPAD e701 priced at Rs. 9,999. Diverting from the more conventional E-tab series, Lava has launched this new 7 inch quad core tablet in new QPAD series.

The 7 inch 5 point multi touch display features 1024 x600 pixel resolution which is not much considering the price tag. The operating system used is Android 4.2 jelly bean which is what you can hope for in this price range.

At the heart of Lava QPAD, you will find a 1.2 GHz Broadcom 281555 chipset with Videocore IV GPU handling graphics. Also onboard is 1 GB RAM and 4 GB internal storage, expandable to 32 GB using MicroSD card.

We are not fans of imaging hardware on 7 inch tablets and Lava QPAD won’t be changing that. It features a modest 3.2 MP shooter at the back and VGA shooter at the front, just to check all boxes.

3500 mAh battery is housed in the 8.8 mm thick body cavity. You can also access 3G via SIM card slot. Other connectivity features include WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0, GPS and GLONASS. The tablet will exclusively retail on Flipkart for the first two weeks.

Commenting on the launch, S.N. Rai, Co-founder & Director, Lava International said, “Lava International is aiming to expand its tablet portfolio with the launch of new tablets and our latest offering, QPAD is a step in that direction. The idea is to provide users with the best in class devices and to engage them with a stylish quality product that meets their requirements of technology, connectivity and entertainment. By virtue of its fast processor, better graphics, IPS display and longer battery QPAD e704 can be perfect replacement for Notebooks used for presentations, demo videos, catalogues, and enterprise specific applications.”
