Low-cost Android tablets are fairly common, but with 5-inch and 5.5-inch smartphones becoming increasingly common, the case for having yet another device in your life has become somewhat less clear. Devices like this are great for reading and browsing the Web on if you have one lying around, but chances are if you have a smartphone, tablet and laptop, the tablet is the most likely to be left behind.Micromax has a new offering, the Canvas Tab P690, which is trying to find a space in users' lives. It has an 8-inch screen and offers cellular voice calling for those who might use such a feature. The cost is low enough to be tempting, and the company advertises loads of freebies in the form of physical accessories as well as software. Let's see what you might have to gain by owning one of these.
Micromax Canvas Tab P690 Summary
Micromax has introduced a budget Android tablet which looks good and offers reasonable levels of performance. You'll be able to watch movies and surf the Web, but don't expect high-end gaming or any serious productivity. 3G support means you can get online while outdoors, and voice calling is also supported though not exactly sensible to use. Similarly, the 5-megapixel camera is so weak that there's really no point using it, but it's there for last-resort scenarios. Micromax includes a bunch of accessories and free in-app benefits such as music and books. This is a good option for casual tablet buyers, but with a modern smartphone, chances are you won't end up using it all that often.
