Karbonn mobiles have launched an 8 inch dual core tablet called Karbonn Velox Tab 8 that comes for a price tag of Rs. 7025. The tab is now available on Saholic.
The tab features and price makes it the best buy. For now there are very few dual core tablets available in the market. For example the 7 inch Wammy Desire is priced at Rs. 7,448 with shipping and the Velox Tab 8 you get it for approx Rs. 7000 that too with an 8 inch screen.
The Karbonn Velox Tab 8 is powered by a Dual core Cortex A9 processor clocked at 1.5GHz with dual core GPU. It comes with 1GB RAM and approx 1.5 GB storage (not sure if it’s free or total storage space). The tab comes with dual cameras a 3 MP placed on the rear and a VGA on the front.
Velox Tab 8 runs on the Android Jelly Bean version 4.1 OS. The TFT LCD capacitive touchscreen display is 8 inches with 1024×768 pixels resolution. The tab supports full HD 1080p videos. Other features are Wi-Fi, external 3G dongle supported. There is no Bluetooth and GPS.
Price and feature wise this definitely looks like a good buy. Also note that iBerry is coming up with Auxus CoreX2 and Auxus Core X4 (dual core and quad core tablets with built in 3G SIM slot), that will be available within few weeks.

Dear gogi,
I have a confusion whether to buy karbonn ST 8 at 5640 bucks with dual core GPU and less internal storage memory or to buy Wammy desire 7 with 1024*600 in 7K bucks.
Which one is optimum for long lasting?
or there is something in this price range? Dear gogi,
I have a confusion whethet to buy karbonn ST 8 at 5640 with dual core GPU and less internal storage memory or to buy Wammy desire 7with 1024*600 in 7Kigh
@Kamal,
Karbonn ST8 is simply amazing. I use 2TB external HDD and it’s awesome. Have loads of movies and I watch all HD movies without any glitch and the screen size is apt to see the movies. Above all, I use Zebronics head set and it is fantastic. Feel like watching in theatre with full effects. Best in market for this prize range.
I have a issue on Bluetooth with this tab, file transfer is unsuccessful always.
It starts sending or receiving files, but fails in between with error”Request could not be handled correctly”.
Anyone faced such issues??Is it android issue or hardware issue?
how to use internet via bluetooth karbonn velox tab 8
I want to know that mf190 dongle has circular led. Please give me website for buying the dongle (i want full url of web site).
Hey Gogi,
Nice reviews about all latest gadgets. Congrats and thanks for that.
really a nice work.
i went through all your reviews and websites suggested by google too.
i am in big confusion between some budget tablets.
I will be requiring your suggestion.
Can you suggest a one tablet among below-
1 Karbonn 8 velox
2 Lava Xtron
3 Acer b1 Iconic
4 your suggestion better than this
i saw and compared all the above tablets and finding karbonn more intresting.
but having doubt about touch responce and heating problem.
i already mentioned that i saw your reviews about these table but not able to select a good one.
my basic requirment will be
1) touch should be very good else no use to call a tablet a touch.
2) 3d games or games like temple run and others should run without any huddle.
3) can use 3g dongle and net experiance should be good.
4) music and videos should play without any huddle.
Hi, Xtron is good but sound is low (this is the case with many tablet). On Velox the sound is very loud (dual speakers) but touch experience is not as smooth as on xtron. So if you are okay with low sound (its not that low you can hear comfortable in a silent room). Battery life is also good. However if you connect dongle then battery will drain a little faster but acceptable.
Im completely confused between karbonn st8 velox and Wammy desire 7……….I just wanna know which one has a better built quality?
St8 is better I think except for the touch which is a little more smother on the wammy.
Iv bought the st8 2 months back. It tab good for a month but now it hangs consistently specially while playing subway surfers. Tried doing factory reset bit still prob persist? Secondly I’m not able to transfer any apps to sd card. Gogi Pl help.
Subway surfer hangs a lot even in HTC mobiles and sony mobiles,its high game graphics i guess, (but it only consumes 88 mb ram) try closing other apps wen running the game . and android doesn’t allow installing app to SD card , only a few can be moved to SD , u need to root the tablet (means change few files of system on own and your warranty is gone cause u tampered with company software) better stick to tab and root it after 1 year.
Thanks man for ur good comment.
Subway surfer is a heavy game and hangs even in HTC mobiles, Transfering apps to SD is not possible for all apps, some apps can be moved not all. for moving all apps you need to edit system files and ur warrenty void (rooting tablet) , not recommended but it is possible to convert your external SD card to internal memory.
Sir, I would like to know does Karbonn Velox ST8 support huawei E 303c 3g dongle?if yes, pls tell
my tab said to me are unfortunately Google is stopped and app also not downloading pls any one say me how to work it
If you are getting too much of this error try removing the last app you installed or do a factory reset.
Hi Gogi,
Does this device supports 2TB external hdd??
Kamal, No don’t think any tab will support such high capacity drives.
my insignificant advise dnt try such things, my frnd has nexus 7 and ttried 1TB HD, sadly tablet was black screened week old NEXUS 😀 , though he got replacement 2 week late,thats a different issue , my point is if nexus cant handle it i guess budget tablets muct be used cautiously, if bymistke(hope it doent happen) karbonn support is not that great as from online complaints and reviews.
Thanks a lot gogi and raj . I tried it with 1TB buffalo drive and works fine.
Now i should avoid doing this.
Happy to see this forum covering questions from users, though I can’t find Karbonn tablet users forum. I bought Karbonn Velox ST8 mainly for use by kid aged 6. I have following questions:
1. My tablet is getting heated within 5 to 10 minutes of use. Its more on the side (in a square size spot) where all the buttons are located. Is anyone else facing the same issue?
2. If I remove the screen guard, will it be an issue? Is it ok if I buy a 10 inch scratch guard and apply it on this?
3. I was looking for tablet cover and found 2 items in ebay India. Is it ok to buy one of those covers?
wammy desire or velox????? Which is better for gaming and surfing…..
Moreover what is the advangage of having 4:3 aspect ratio rather than 16:9 sized tablet???(Ebook reading is not my concern…..) Does it matter while playing games…
i purchased this for 6400rs in chandigarh from sec 22 i have rooted it by the root file of ainol novo crystal wich i got frm xda developers site evrything seems ok but it shows the screen as a android phone and not as a tablet while surfing internet also i am not able to change my application install memory to sd card i have tried apps2sd but it dint workd.. any suggestions anyone?

2)
after rooting u can change external sd to internal but risky 20%, better keep default 1.51gb is fair enuf for light gaming n apps
NOTE* there is another method DIRECTORY BLIND USING FExplorer GOOGLE IT.
try MAthon browser for tablter for PC like browsing
