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,

@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?

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?
gogi
St8 is better I think except for the touch which is a little more smother on the wammy.
