I got this review piece, yesterday, the Veedee D10 a 7 inch capacitive touchscreen tablet with 1.5 GHz processing power and Mali 400 GPU. This is the MID series tablet capable of decoding 2160p videos, can play HD videos and comes with built in speakers.
The Veedee D10 was in the market for quite some time and is different from the recently launched Veedee D10e tablet, D10 first came loaded with Android 2.3 OS but now it comes with the latest ICS (Android 4.0). For review purpose I got this tab with android 2.3 and a CD with android 4.0 OS.
Veedee D10 (ICS) unboxing and review
Surprisingly the tablet looks much like the recently launched Micromax Funbook the front side and even the rear side looks almost identical, well except for the Micromax logos.
Design and Built
The tab is light weight, plastic body and has rather very simple look. There are dedicated physical buttons on the front side with a VGA camera placed in center (top). The mini USB, HDMI, reset, TF card slot and 3.5 mm audio jack is present on one side. There is a power button with volume up and down placed on the top side. The built quality is good and feels comfortable when holding in the hands.

Display
The 7 inch display comes with capacitive touch technology supports 800 by 480 pixels resolution and support multi-touch (5 point). The display output quality is good but not very sharp.
Camera
There is a front facing camera you can use for clicking images or shooting videos. Video chat is possible using Skype via Wi-Fi or using any supported 3G Dongle. The camera quality is decent; you shouldn’t expect much from a VGA resolution.

Connectivity
The Wi-Fi works pretty good you can even connect supported USB Dongles. The 3G USB dongle models are listed when you browse through the system settings – Wireless and networks -> more… then tap the 3G Support information. Do remember that not all USB dongles are supported.
You can browse the net, watch YouTube video, chat and check emails, everything works out of the box.

Multimedia
You can play many audio and video files I tried the avi video and MP4 1080p resolution movie trailer which worked pretty well. There is built in speaker and a 3.5 mm audio jack you can use for connecting external headphones.
Games
I tried the pre-loaded angry birds game which was smooth and touch responsive. This tab comes with Mali 400 GPU which is even capable of running the ShadowGun game. You can play high end games that are complied for the Mali GPU.

Performance between Android 2.3 and Android 4.0
I got this unit with android 2.3 pre-loaded the experience was good and then I upgraded the OS to Android 4.0. Apart from the interface and usability which is better on Android 4.0, I tried browsing, playing games, watching movies everything was as smooth as with 2.3, there is not much noticeable difference.
While running on the android 2.3 I downloaded, installed and did a benchmarking test using the Quadrant app and the same was done after upgrading to Android 4.0. The benchmarking app results did improve a little bit with android 4.0. You can view the test results below.

Battery
I presume this tablet will last for about 5 hours. It takes about less than 4 hours to fully recharge the battery (with less than 10% power). The battery life is good on an average you can expect it to last for over 5 hours. But when playing games the battery drains off much faster (you can play angry birds for almost 3 hours on an average. MP3 playback about 8 + hours and Video playback 4+ hours.
Conclusion
Overall a good tablet with specifications that is nearly identical with other tabs available. The only issue is the display quality which isn’t very sharp which is because the LCD pixel density is set to 120. If the density is changed to 160 the output is more clearer as good as on the Xtab A10 (Xtab A10 comes with 160 pixel density).
The Veedee D10 with android 4.0 is available for Rs. 6,990 and can be ordered online from Veedeedirect.com.

how to copy paste in file manager?
my sound system is not good through earphones…what should i do?
You will need to check with veedee for the sound issue, may be try a different earphone. For copy paste just use file manager and go to the desired file, tap – hold and then copy it. Then you need to go the directory (do not enter the directory) just tap – hold the directory and you will get the paste option.
I am planning to buy veedee d10 is it good. Does it
(1) support 1080p video
(2) support usb hardisk

Hello in d10 using ICS the battery backup is better than 2.3? what do u think how much it will give back up watching HD video?
and when you browse any page having flash video, does it lag? and did u get any fault in watching flash video?
thank you.
I ordered the tab, but cancel it!
Like xtab a10, everybody confirmed that battery is >5hr in HD video!
but don't know about d10 using ics?
please tell let me know
I will be grateful if you can tell in detail how much it can give if we watch
1.hd video
2.playing games…
3.wifi
using ICS and using 2.3
but heard that there is no probs in video rendering text rendering or flash video and all!
this is one of the plus point in d10.
but the thing is battery compared with xtab.
Joydeep, the browser rendering is a bit slow (and noticeable on xtab), did not find that on the D10. As for battery life I have already updated it on the post. It is similar to the xtab. There is not much noticeable difference in performance with 2.3 and ICS on D10. If you are planning to go with the D10 why not choose the D10e?
No D10e., battery backup is low, and no flash video not supported.
where the backup is awesome in d10 and service is good.
xtab having 2 problem, their service and rendering prob.
just to make it sure the backup about d10.
Thanks
Okay, I have not checked the D10e though you would have. Anyway the battery backup is as good as Xtab A10.
I see that you mentioned D10 is having lower pixel density 120 ppi, but specs actually say that this is 160 ppi. Also D10 is oem from Ployer momo9 which is considered quite good. NXG's A10 is LY-F1's OEM. This ppi thing can be killer and the deciding factor. Can you confirm on this ppi thing.
LCD density can be changed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PlHK5jIx8Q
I have seen this on both Xtab A10 and D10 did not find any noticeable change. Yes image is not as sharp as it was with 160 but you get more space.
This guy is changing the ppi to 120 for NXG tab, why would somebody do that ? wondering. higher ppi means better looking/sharper display and you seem to agree. though this youtube guy is reducing the ppi to 120. (see his description.) But thanks you are syaing that Xpad A10's display is better than D10's. This is more i am interested in..
Yes D10 comes with 120 default setup and xtab with 160. If you change the D10 ppi to 160 it will be like xtab. When you compare it there is hardly any difference in the quality but you can easily make out that xtab screen looks better, more lively. Also higher ppi looks better as the menu icons use more space. In 160 I get 3 rows and in 120 ppi I get 4 rows since there are too many icons default font is too small, easily readable but not crisp clear as in 160 ppi. You can increase the font using setting, but then it does not fit properly so better to go for 160 ppi, unless you are ok with 120.
hello…!
u have told that in xtab a10 " The only issue I found was with PDF magazines which was very slow in processing and you need to zoom in to get a better view and moving around the page in zoom view is also slow" did u saw this prob in veedee also ????
No not tested on VeeDee but it will be the same on VeeDee too same processor and same RAM 512. The PDF file was 99 MB. 512 MB RAM is too less, probably 1 GB RAM could have made a difference.
Good review Gogi, and lol @Chikni Chameli. ICS seems to be pretty good, also I would recommend that you can also show the device HDMi output quality by playing the video from device onto a TV, Just a suggestion. In all, a good review.
I don't have the resource else would have done that.
hello…
u have used d10 using ics..
whats your personal opinion regarding battery backup of d10 and xtab a10..
which one is better??
and apart from the display any other probs to faced in d10 and a10 ???
thank you
Hi, the display quality is far better on A10, both tabs are good and performance is identical, this includes the hardware. MID make both branded / customized as per NXG / VeeDee. As far as the battery is concerned I did not find any difference in either they both can perform well over 5+ hours on an average (moderate) usage.
display quality means the sharpness u r telling? what about the android market?
both are unlocked with the new firmware ?? any prob regarding any apps or games in download or access? u have tested the benchmark, which one u feel better ?
On D10 the sharpness was the same android market (Google play is working, you can download apps) it was working on version 2.3 also. Everything works the same way as with 2.3, just that ICS gives you some new apps options when browsing through the market. The benchmark scored some 100 points more with ICS as compared with 2.3.
Android 4.0 ICS not need any physical or touch-sensitive buttons.
Excluding Power/Lock,Camera & Volume Rocker.
Then why Xtab A10 comes with touch sensitive buttons & Veedee D10 comes with Physical buttons?
Yes ICS does not need any buttons as navigation is built in, I am using the xtab and I still use the dedicated buttons, I guess it will stay for sometime, moreover when paying angry birds for example the built in ICS buttons are in active, the only way to go back is to use the dedicated buttons.
sir,
i want to know the details about the tablet pc's which are below 8000. And i want capacitive touch ,then cpu like arm cortex or some other good, i want to play games, then internet ,and want to use pen drive if possible….pls suggest some top models which worth the cash
Jithin, please have a look at this : http://www.gogi.in/tablet-pcs-in-india-specificat… To play Hi-Fi games on tab you need at least 1 GHz processor, GPU (Graphics processor). The Veedee and Xtab A10 can play HD games. Check out both these models and I have loaded some game videos.
hi gogi,
I am really looking forward to get Xtab a10..but for me using usb dongles for net is little expensive. I also noticed in ur review that Xtab with sim slot will be launched soon..is it true..?? if true I am willing to wait..what u say.??
Yes NXG is planning to launch the built in SIM version, don't know when, probably within few months.
Gogi
Your review is fine.
Does this tablet have GPS functionality.
Hi, no built in GPS.
Hi,

I have not check the D10e but between D10 and A10 its A10.

I would go with the Xtab, good display quality.
