QMobile Announces its First Tablet, the QTab X50

QMobile has announced its first tablet for the country’s audience, the QTab X50.

The tablet measures 8 inches in size and comes with a quad-core MediaTek processor underneath.

The display is a disappointing aspect, however, with 1024 x 768 resolution. QMobile’s several phones themselves easily top that. The design is also rather uninspiring but we can live with that.

Under the hood, a 1.2Ghz quad-core MediaTek processor with 1 GB worth RAM and 16 GB expandable storage onboard. At the back sits a 5 megapixel camera, coupled by a 2 megapixel camera at the front.

The tablet comes with a SIM card slot but we don’t know whether phone calls and messaging are doable. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are also onboard.

Here are the full specs of the X50:

• Customized Android 4.2 Jelly Bean
• 8 inch display with resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels
• 9.9mm thick
• GSM support
• 1.2Ghz quad-core MediaTek processor
• 1 GB RAM with 16 GB expandable storage
• 5 megapixel rear-camera
• 2 megapixel front-camera
• Wi-Fi, microUSB 2.0, Bluetooth
• 4500 mAh battery
• Price: PKR 24,500

PKR 24,500 , well, that’s not that much but when you think of comparable offerings by established names like Samsung through devices like the Nexus 7 and the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0, it can be a bit tough to swallow.

You’ve got to be aware of the rights and wrongs before buying this one.
