A low range decent gaming tablet released by Indian manufacturer named Karbonn, for day to day use its a good tablet, can play games with low graphics like angry birds, fruit ninja and temple run, but this tablet cannot run heavy games like Asphalt 7, gangster Rio and Modern combat, you can still play some decent games by using chainfire 3D, the main plus point of this tablet is its build quality, as soon as you take the tablet in the hand you can actually feel rich and stubborn  plastic finish.

Micromax funbook another low range entry level tablet, performs surprisingly good in heavy games, despite of its not so good build quality this tablet has been huge success in Indian tablet market, in google play you may find many games incompatible but you can actually play HD games by overclocking a bit and using chainfire. The physical home, menu and task manager buttons gives funbook a cheap look and the front facing VGA camera is useless, along with funbook you get a free Tata Photon+ 3G dongle actually its not free you need to pay Rs.500 during activation.

1GB internal storage
3700 mAh battery

Its the same Karbonn Smart Tab 1 but with little improvements and fixes, like Tab 2 now has xburst processor and Geforce graphics processor, but they have now included too many bloatware which you cannot remove and due to which you only get only 1GB usable internal memory out of 4GB, this tab performs similar to Funbook P300 in terms of gaming.
