The Zenithink ZT-282 C71+ now joins the low cost tablet bandwagon. This tablet comes with A9 Cortex processor clocked at 1 GHz with 1 GB RAM and loaded with the Android 4.0 OS. The ZT-282 C71+ does not come with built in 3G so you will have to lookout for supported 3G dongles.
If you compare this Zenithink tablet with the Xtab A10, VeeDee D10 and the latest Micromax Funbook, you will find that this tab comes with Amlogic 8726-M, Cortex A9 processor which is different from what is used on the other tabs. This tab too comes with Mali 400 GPU which is powerful enough to run most HD games. Another advantage is the 1 GB RAM which will ensure even smoother and faster experience.
Zenithink ZT-282 C71+ tablet features
Design
The tab looks great with black front and red coloured edges, which actually gives it a very classy look. The rear side is white colour (plastic) with speaker outlet. There are 3 touch sensitive buttons (just like on the Xtab A10) on the front size there is a 1.3 MP camera in top – center position. The tab is 14 mm thin and weighs 360 grams (dimension – 197 x 120 x 14 mm).

Processor and OS
The A9 core chip is known for low power consumption which also helps increase battery life, but the amlogic 8726-M (an A9 core chip) does not save much power with 1 GHz speed as its main frequency is 800 Mhz. The amlogic 8726-M comes with integrated Core Mali400 GPU which we already know performs exceptionally well. A9 chip are anyway 20% faster than A8 chip at same frequency.
When you start the tablet you are greeted by the Android 4.0 OS with some default apps, you can use the android market (Google Play) to download more apps.
Memory
This tab houses a 1 GB DDR3 RAM which is double the memory what other tabs are offering, this means the system will run even faster and smoother. Higher memory always does help increase performance and you will find that on this Zenithink tablet.
Display
The screen is 7 inches with capacitive technology with 5 point multi-touch support. The resolution is the same at 800 by 480 pixels that you will find on many low cost tablets. This resolution is not so reader friendly, but not so bad either.
Storage
The ZT-282 C71+ comes with 4 GB internal memory and does support microSD card (up to 32 GB).
Connectivity
This tab does not come with built in 3G but you can connect 3G dongle (Supported models ZTE MF80, MF637U / Huawei E1750, E161, E261 and E220). Other options are using built in Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n).
Ports: 2 mini USB / 1 mini HDMI / 1 TF card slot / 1 – 3.5 mm jack.
Multimedia
The tab supports many audio (WAV, MP3, WMA, AAC etc) and video formats (DivX, AVI, MP4 etc.) and can also play Full HD 1080p videos with HDMI output support. Yes it can play games – most HD games complied for Mali 400 GPU.
Camera
There is a modest 1.3 MP front facing camera well placed on the top center just above the touchscreen. At the most you can use the cam for video chatting using Skype and for self photography / video shoot.
Other features
It supports Flash 11.1, supports multi-languages and many ebook file formats.
Battery
As already mentioned the processor clocked at 1 GHz does not help save much power and add to it the 3000 mAh Li-ion battery that the tablet houses gives a very low battery life. The manufacturer themselves claim the tab can last for about 3 hours with Wi-Fi.
Zenithink ZT-282 C71+ price in India is under Rs. 8,000. VeeDee is selling it for Rs. 7,990.
Performance wise this tab even at 1 GHz speed will perform as good as with the Allwinner CPU at 1.2 GHz. But since this tab comes with 1 GB RAM it will be much smoother and faster that the Allwinner tablets with 512 MB RAM, however it is the battery life which could be a major concern.

Hi Gogi,
Can u pls suggest me some tablet with capacitive screen and good battery life under Rs 7000..i thought for Xtab A10 but i see ppl complaining about the low sound problem.
Yes the new lot of Xtab did had a lot of issues, the previous lot or the first lot, when I ordered the tab were all very good. You can check this http://www.gogi.in/beetabz-dhruv-android-ics-tabl…
Zenithink ZT-282 C71 is this tab available in market? how i can buy ? plz tell me bcoz i already purchase a mircromax funbook but that is not worthy as I thought so tell me is that better than micromax funbook?
The link to C71 is give on the page. Now if you compare this with funbook, the C71 is faster comes with 1 GB RAM so performance wise it should be better than funbook apart from that (and with a different design / look) the screen resolution etc (other features) are the same. Battery life am not sure read the battery section on the page.
Hi everyone,
Another budget tablet announced " Attitude Daksha" almost same as A10 price tag Rs 5399. I think after hands on review, anybody can say something about this, See drama of upcoming competition. More confusion. Dalbir singh
Please could u tell me which one is better karbonn smart tab or xtab a10 and in karbonn tab inbuilt sim slot is there? and what is your opinion on lava tablets which are going 2 launch soon? is it better from earlier tab?
Nishat, The karbonn tab are not yet available and it does not have built in SIM slot, here too only supported dongles will work. As for lava tablets they were supposed to launch in feb 2012 but that never happened they were planning for a under Rs. 6,000 tablet with SIM. Am not sure when and if they will launch the tablet. But will keep an eye on that. I would suggest wait for sometime a few months there will be more tablets entering the market.
Hi gogi,
Can you suggest any latest tablet with sim/dual sim?
Which is best(Performance/speed/features/price among latest low/medium range tablet? i.e. Micromax Funbook, Xtab A10, Zenithink ZT 282 C71 or any new arriving shortly.
Paresh
Paresh, these low cost tabs do not come with built in SIM. You can use only supported USB dongles for net surfing (no phone functions). As for now the Xtab A10 looks the best.
Don't buy Domo Slate N9 SE. I bought one from homeshop18. It crapped out in two days. Display is LCD which is not good. You want to buy a tablet buy the one which has TFT display. Fortunately I returned it and asked for a refund. It is in process. Better go for branded products or the one's which provide better support and warranty. Domo gives only 6 months warranty. I bought it blindly by looking at the specs and had to pay for the same, Just be careful guys.
Hi gogi
thanks for such good review
Which one is better tab for performance and speed wise Zenithink ZT-282 C71 ; MICROMAX or Me1
Gogi
Please tell me the way to order xtab a10 by cash on delivery
Bhavesh, I am not sure if NXG are giving COD now, it was available when they launched the tab now I think they are getting too many orders and giving preference to those making direct payments first. You can try calling NXG and see if they can offer you COD.
Should I buy it or Xtab A10 OR Should I wait for Karbonn Smart tab 1 ?
My budget is under 8,000 INR.
1. Should I wait for Karbonn Smart Tab 1 ?
2. What is difference between Karbonn Smart Tab 1 ,Xtab A10, Domo slate N9 SE, IBERRY BT07I, Ployer MOMO9C?
Somnath, better to wait for Karbonn as they claim a better battery life but not mentioned the price though. There are few difference between the tabs you have listed, but all are made in China and of good quality.
Hi need a review of this Tab if you could…thank you…
