India recently showcased the world’s cheapest tablet computer aakash .
The cheapest price is the killer feature of aakash tab , but critics are
not happy with its hardware specifications and performance and they even
questioned the usability of aakash .Now
government of India has decided to launch the upgraded version of aakash , the
Aakash 2 also called as Ubislate 7 which will have better specifications than
current aakash .
We compared the specifications of Aakash and upcoming UbiSlate 7 (aakash 2)
on key parameters and found UbiSlate 7 quite better than Aakash .
Aakash runs on 366 Mhz which is very poor processor speed in today’s
world . UbiSlate 7 (aakash 2) on the other hand runs on 700Mhz processor . So
with UbiSlate 7 you will have a double power processor .
2. RAM
Aakash has just 256 Mb of memory while Aakash 2 has four times more , that
is 1 Gb of memory . This 1 Gb of RAM is comparable with even iPad and Galaxy
tab . So why buy aakash when you can get aakash 2 with four times more RAM .
3. Operating System
Aakash runs on andoird 2.2 while UbiSlate runs on android 2.3 .
With UbiSlate you will have the upgraded android OS
4. Battery
Aakash is powered by 2100 mAh battery while UbiSlate is powered
by 3200 mAh , which mean you will have more battery backup with UbiSlate 7
(aakash 2 )
5. Network
Aakash offers WiFi while Aakash 2 (UbiSlate 7) offers WiFi , GPRS with SIM
and phone functionality . That means you can use UbiSlate 7 as phone also .
6. Camera
Aakash 2 has both back and front facing camera , while
aakash doesn’t offers this .
7. Price
aakash tablet is available at the price of Rs 2500 while aakash 2 will be
available at the price of Rs 2999 , which is quite justified on the basis of
newly added features .
Aakash 2 will be available by
February 2012 . Aakash is already on sale you can order it for Rs 2500 . Seeing
the upgraded features I would suggest you to wait for a month for aakash 2 . I
think buying aakash 2 will be a good choice than buying aakash , though you
have to pay extra 500 Rs , but you will get lots of better features
is it free fro students?
