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 itβs 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 π , 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?
try for mobile UI try theming it for different look, i personally feel the phonr UI doent make any differencestill try these appsfor changing theme to normal tablet UI
1) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anddoes.launcher&feature=more_from_developer#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwMiwiY29tLmFuZGRvZXMubGF1bmNoZXIiXQ..
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
1) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mx.browser.tablet&hl=en
can you share ur experince wid the tab?
Can we play gta and the amazing spiderman games on karnbon velox tab? Please tell me., if the games are not available near u then go this website android.mob.org . And you can download on velox tab. ,does 1.5 gb internal storage is enough to play high end games?
Is the hardware cpu&gpu spec same as the Karbonn Cosmic 10..
Any one has installed more than 2gb file game in ST8 velox if, HOW?
Hi, I just watched a review of velox on youtube. It shows it doesn’t support real football because it doesn’t support control buttons.control buttons don’t fit to the screen.can u plz put some light on it.its my fav game.if it can be rectified plz let me know.my velox is on the way..
Probably could be the 4:3 aspect ratio. But will need to check.
it supports but 2013 version , the video is of 2012 version , tested and working
So, I think that it’s clearly better than the other tablets in this price range, especially, the weirdly named, Wickedleak. (I mean, what made them to choose such a name for their company… Seriously). Just one thing I want to ask, is the low resonsive touch screen, is a deal breaker?
Vinay, the screen response does improve once you remove the screen guard. But still its not as good as I have experienced on Wammy desire tab. However its not that bad either.
It has bluetooth, i love it, buy it.
I bought it 3 days back,,resolution is awesome 160 ppi speed is very fast first day i felt touch was not good ….but day by day i am loving this tablet please remove the screen guard i have installed many apps ,games temple run works very good …..battery power is approx 6 hrs …..i loaded my tab full still its RAM is 458 Mb free i m loving it please handle this tab with care.
Hi, i got this velox st8 from saholic in genuine package and on time π hats off for Perfect Delivery.
*As far now the tab rocks, everything is cool.
*Great Performance and battery stands rock solid for 6 hrs.
*Only thing which may make u feel down is the touch screen its not as the normal capacitive screens nor too bad. manageable and uβll get practiced.
*sound crystal clear with deep bass over my creative head set.
*And many think 1.5gb not enough? The internal storage is only 1.5gb and u can use 32 gb class 10 card for blazing fast speed.
*Dont consider igyaan review, they dont know to respect the specs just bcos it is cheap.
* With heavy usage also u can get 400 mb ram free.
*And to be honest Velox is heavy to be held with one hand to read, u may develip biceps soon :-p.
*It comes with few perloaded apps, dont think it is waste. All are top of the class and less memory usage.
*And charging takes pretty long period, when i charged for first time for around 5 hrs it reached 47% from 6%. I Think i have to do proper charging cycles to obtain full capacity. st8 had 67% charge already so i viewed 3 movies then it drained to 6%.
*Browsing is pertty ok with it, still experimenting with browsers to see the best one.
*Camera is fine for this price range, front cam is good. Tried gtalk with video works awesome.
*wifi,bluetooth, works good. Ethernet option is given but no idea how to configure it.
*It handles everything that u wan this tab to perform.
*Since its been two days i din see any hitch and flaws yet.
*not recomended for kids use, heavy and once droped by mistake then got to thow it off. Overall build quality is good but cant handle heavy drops.
*And remove the screen protector before using it. And clean the screen with soft cloth to remove fingerprints.
^^^Loving it more and more day by day^^^

Thank you for sharing your experience. of course, gogi will be doing his review soon but nice to have several inputs. For my own use, i’m not bothered about just 1.5 gb storage because that only concerns gamers who want to install large games on the sd card. I can just use a tf card because i’m not into gaming. For the same reason, i’m not too worried about a slightly erratic touch either.
Maybe even that will go away if you wash the face of the tablet with lcd cleaner or some mild cleaning fluid after removing the screen cover to eliminate the stickiness. but i am concerned about the screen. i know it is a tft screen and i don’t expect miracles esp. in terms of viewing angles but i notice that the screen on my zync z999 is actually worse than my micromax funbook which is a first gen cheap tablet. Even a slight tilt of the head produces a clear distortion in the image which never happens on the funbook. for me, one use of a tablet is watching slideshows of wallpapers of celebrities etc(nature wallpapers can only be enjoyed on a large screen) I find with my z999 that even a tilt of about 5 degrees changes the bright and dark portions of the screen. So can you download some hd wallpapers of celebrities, random models etc(you may already have them with you) and check if the same thing happens with the velox. Because that would be deal-breaker for me as my z999 is already good enough for everything except multimedia. thank you again. Please post your answer on this site itself as i am afraid of giving out my email id freely.
No issues like that.
Thanks for the update.. It seems after getting so many negative comment igyaan thumbs up for st10 π
St 10 comes with bigger screen and same specs battery is 20% higher to compensate he big screen. I feel St8 is handy and weightless.
See friends thats’s why i only follow gogi’s blog.. thank you gogi..
Hi guys my order shipped so I will be getting it tomorrow or day after.
Yeaaa…. π π thanks Gogi.
Good news, gogi! really appreciate your keeping your fans updated like that. Just some reminders. check the bluetooth on this device thoroughly because it may be an old version with poor file transfer speeds and no a2dp. try to find the bluetooth version number. the public deserve to know that and should not blindly buy thinking it has bluetooth thinking that all bluetooth is the same. secondly, remove the godawful pre-applied screen cover before testing the touchscreen as it may make it seem worse than it is. thirdly, talk about two things, the weight of the tablet and how easy it is to hold in one hand and finally the tf screen and viewing angles which seem to be the tab’s biggest weakness. looking forward to your review. cheers!
Great…….will wait for your reviews eagerly……………… ST 8
Wammy Desire Or Karbonn Smart Tab 8 Velox. Which one is more preferable? What’s your choice out of two (or any other)?
I will go with Velox even though the screen touch is more smoother on Desire. But what I like about Velox is the 8 inch screen, 4:3 ration and the price.
Can i connect this tablet to samsung GT C6712 and access internet from phone. If yes then please let me know how. Please help..
If your mobile supports tethering then surely you can connect, you can find this option in wifi option.
Gogi boss how much more time u will need to review u should be UPDATED for all being your own site. Then how come will this run if u take so much of time giving your reviews.
I am not able to get the review unit, at time I get it fast at time I do not, I never got the Karbonn A21 so never did a review on that. I can only do the review once I get it.
Right sirji.
I have now booked the Karbonn Smart Tab 8 Tablet (Grey, Wi-Fi) since I could not get the videocon A30 from flipkart, so waiting for this too expected delivery by Jan 19, 2013 and the email I got says 21. Not sure they will send of it will be the case like a30, so waiting for the dispatch signal.
Gogi, also do a review of ainol novo crystal at some point. at the moment, the karbonn velox and the wammy desire have received a lot of attention. the karbonn device seems to be better for functionality with bluetooth and a large battery and the wammy desire seems to be better for gaming but both screens seem to be average esp. where viewing angles are concerned. ainol crystal on the other hand has a 1024×600 IPS screen and ainol have been world famous for their screens for quite some time now. no bluetooth but dual core cpu and dual core gpu 1 gb ram all for 7990. 3700 mAh battery with more than 4 hours video playback according to rumours. ainol has an Indian base now (check out their Indian website, their main site can no longer be accessed with an indian i.p. address) and apparently have even started a cash on delivery scheme in major cities since December 2012. sounds very good, and considering ainol’s world-wide reputation, worth a look and comparison. for multimedia, the crystal may be far and away the best.
Gogi Sir, nd Friends, please suggest me a tablet which can support voice call with 2G sim and also keypad portable. My budget is 7k-8k. Please.
Gogi sir, please review this tablet please. we are all waiting for your reviews.
Hi gogi bhai, when will you review the velox waiting eagerly for your review.
I am trying to get it should have it within few days – gogi.
Thank you Gogi. Your the Best π
Is it possible to connect my Incablenet connection to Tablet? do I need to buy wifi routers or through any connecter i can use my same old cable wire connection?
Is 1.5 GB internal memory enough? I have read somewhere that only 800mb is available for the users? Will it create any problem in surfing or playing games?
Hi gogi, one simple question. Its internal memory is 1.5 gb correct? So if i use the app available for transferring the apps installed to sd card its absolutely fine right. I mean very few apps need only internal memory all other usually can b transferred to sd card right? Or is it that it does not allow to transfer it to sd card??
Which tablet is best Karbonn Smart tab 8 or Wammy desire 7inc? for gaming i want to buy ….reply me on pokale.amey@yahoo.com
Please see a review of this tab by igyaan. They say the tab does not support correct display aspect of the tab.
i am not sure, but thats what they say.
Gogi it seems that u r not giving full ans of the question asked by others why it it so. I want to buy karboon ST 8 for my 9 Yrs. old son. How is performance. its touch sceen, does it hang too much and lately body is strong or not. waiting for your comments.
I have not checked the tab yet, the price is good but still not sure about the GPU if it has mali 400 then its worth it go for it.
Sir ji better check, all of us are waiting for your reviews, for ST 8 tab.
Boss one more question. Can we access or run movies through 1tb external harddisk. Will tablet support external disk. Plz replyβ¦..
I saw 2 youtube video of velox. One is showing touch is good another is showing it is poor, I am confused..why this tab is available only online?
Rupa, i think that the issue is that the tab comes with a pre-applied screen protector that has not been perfectly applied in all cases. When the job is well done, the touch works well, poorly otherwise. It is only recently released so karbonn is trying to gauge the market reaction. If the public like it, they will release it properly and it may become available in local retail as well. I’ve decided to wait a couple of months to see how the matter develops. By the time, even the much awaited acer iconia will become available and generally there will be more choices. I suggest you do the same.
I Cant wait…… Gogi Sir hope you do the review soon. hmm… Thank you.
Hi gogi, indiatimes shopping giving this tab @6600(apply discount code). is this a reliable online store?
Not sure but I trust filpkart, infibeam and saholic. – gogi.
I got sony xperia tipo after 20 days of payment from intimidates shopping.
Hey,gogi I heard that karbonn smart tab 8 has some dongle issues, so should I go for it as I am buying a tab mainly for browsing.
Yes it seems so there are a list of dongles recommended by karbonn so buy that.
Hi Gogi,
I like your reviews a lot. Have one doubt, Can i connect my samsung mobile 6712 to this tab and use the internet on tablet from my docomo sim through phone..?
Please reply…
Yes if the phone supports Wi-Fi hotspot, you can do via Wi-Fi.
Hi Gogi, not sure if the Wi-Fi hot spot supports my mobile samsung c6712. its java application OS and not an android… so can i have this application in my mobile downloaded?
I purchased Karbonn Velox Tab 8 from Saholic.com and using it since last 1 week ….. They delivered on very next working day ….. it is just a wow. Its square in shape with all features perfect for professionals like me who are continuously on move. Except the 1.5 GB internal memory issue everything is fantabulous in this tab. I suggest “Buy” for this tab.
Can you please tell me how is the performance of this tab and the games as well, how well the tab plays. Please, Thank you.
I am vigorously using this tab now and it has become my every second necessity. It is working perfectly well. Screen resolution is marvelous. Bluetooth is good but without A2DP. Overall I have not faced any negative issue in this tab. I am using wi-fi router for this instead of dongle when I am on move & it is giving perfect result. Overall 9 out of 10 to this tab.
Alok sharma, does this have Bluetooth?
Rupa, it has bluetooth but does not support A2DP.
How is display Viewing Angles Colours etc? Battery ? Wifi App Support?
Friends, i think the best person who can clear all our queries and doubt is Mr. gogi.. so wait for his review..:)
The viewing angles are not good. You always have to held the tab straight while playing games as a slight tilting will make the screen invisible. Also I bought this tab a week back and now am facing problem with it as it hangs up at the start screen. Will be taking it to the service center now :(((
Kapil, might be problem with the particular piece. I am using it now for more than 15 days….. but no such issue and I am a very vigorous user as I am continuously on move so I need internet, cloud computing, videos (during journey for time pass … lol) and this baby of mine is good at handling it. Also its square shape gives it a very cute look rather then other commonly available tabs.
Gogi could you please upload a video of this tablet because i am planning to get one. i hope u do it as soon as possible. i want to know if this tab is good with games.
Gogi sir,
does this KARBONN SMART TAB 8 VELOX supports video calls over SKYPE ?
bcoz there was lot issue related over SKYPE APP in Karbonn tabs…
SKYPE VIDEO CALLING supported ?
thank you
When will u give ur review about this tab?
gogi, i think this tablet has bluetooth. not given in the specs but some early reviewers who have the tablet are showing off a bluetooth icon though no-one seems to have turned it on and checked. can you confirm it? karbonn is the only company that seems to have launched 2 sub-10k tablets with bluetooth(smart tab 2 and smart tab 8) but they are not advertising it even though they keep pointing out their third-class back cameras without flash as if anyone cares. can’t understand that because that seems to be the main selling poit here along with the large battery to set it apart from the wammy desire and the ainol crystal among entry-level dual-core jellybean tablets with 1 gb ram and better than 800×600 res
Shyam, cannot confirm unless I check it, but for the price it seems difficult to give Bluetooth (though not impossible).
gogi, one guy has confirmed that it has bluetooth available for file transfer. but he says he is unable to connect to his bluetooth headphones. so when you get a piece for doing a review, check whether the bluetooth has ad2p as well. try to give all the specifications of the bluetooth service provided.
thanks for the prompt response to my earlier post
I am using this tab …… all features including Wi-fi, Bluetooth, mini-USB are perfect except 1.5 GB internal memory which is very small compared to other tabs and flashless camera. Otherwise it is a good choice as it stands apart from other tabs due to its square looks. I suggest “BUY” for this tab.
Alok, just because there is bluetooth doesn’t mean it has all features. actually test it out. what speed are you getting for file transfer? can you connect bluetooth headphones to it? unless bluetooth has something called a2dp, you may get file transfer but headphones cannot be connected. plus, older versions of bluetooth often give somewhat poor performance. so test it out and post your experiences. in a short time, gogi will also do an expert review. then we can pool the information and decide.
Right now, I have 3 more questions. The first is about the weight of the tablet. I heard it is quite light and easy to hold in one hand for long periods. What is your experience? Secondly about the touchscreen. I heard karbonn themselves have pre-applied a screen protector with the result that some pieces have unresponsive touchscreens, esp. at the corners. What do you feel?
Thirdly, display quality, mainly, how are the viewing angles. Is there distortion even when you slightly tilt your head as is becoming a trend in certain tablets? I don’t expect super viewing angles but if even a slight tilt produces distortion it is annoying. Please post your thoughts and experiences.
Hi gogi, i wanna ask that it has Bluetooth or not?
Please read the review – gogi.
Does it have Bluetooth or not?
hi gogi, in an article I read that it is not possible to play all the apps on this tablet as it has 4:3 aspect ratio while android apps are optimized for a 16:9 aspect ratio.4:3 ratio is good for reading, surfing etc. but it also have problem of all the apps not running. Is this true?
Apps will run on 4:3 or 16:9 does not matter it will fit the screen accordingly.
Hi, does all android apps works smoothly on 4:3 aspect ratio?
Its 2gb internal storage is enough or not? plz reply. Is it a drawback?
I m looking for new tab and i want to buy it this month so can you suggest me which to buy Karbonn Smart Tab 8 Velox or Wammy Desire 7 1024×600…i basically want great specs and for gaming and listening songs with some surfing
Does this tab have Bluetooth?
Hi Gogi, Is 0.3MP Camera good for skype calls as all the budget tabs are offering the same as front camera specs.
It’s good enough.
Hey gogi as you have written it supports 3g via dongle if it is so does it support 2g sim if inserted in a datacard for net? And can we use pendrives in it?
Gagan, the 3G dongle supports 2G and you can connect pen drive using OTG cable.
Can u please compare this tab and ainol novo7 crystal?
It would have been better if they would have stuck to the standard 7 inch screen. 8 inch screen means less possibility to find many after market add-ons like tablet sleeves, tab covers with keyboard, screen guards.
Should I go for wammy desire or karbonn velox. I need a tab for games and project.Plz suggest
Satnam, Velox looks good price wise but better wait for a review or at least the CPU / GPU details.
I also have the same question…the thing which is bothering me is that this tablet has 4:3 aspect ratio whereas wammy desire has 16:9. Gogi sir, would the difference in aspect ratio affect too much ?? If not i will definitely go for karbonn tab 8.
4:3 is kind of square screen good for reading / surfing and 16:9 is good for watching movies.
The list is becoming longer
Karbonn Smart Tab 10
Videocon V10
Karbonn Velox
Lava A700
iberry Auxus

yes please. cortex4
hello Gogi, i am great fan of your website. Everyday i browse your website for news abt mobiles..thanx for the information you are providing for us.
MY QUESTION:
Can we type messages in landscape mode in KARBONN A21, i visited 2 stores at my place but the showroom failed to rotate the screen to landscape mode to type messages. This is very important and urgent for me. plz reply me as early as possible.
Thank you
Yogananda, it depends on the ROM (OS). Some handsets come with orientation enabled in messaging app and some do not.
I faced same problem when I used A9,then I installed Go keyboard and which always comfortable than Android built-in keyboard and then I used it in landscape mode.
Regards
Santosh Shirke, Pune.
Use multiling keyboard. You can also type in any language.
