Android Gingerbread Reliance 3G Tablet Released in India


Phones Review Quickie: For those over in India there’s a new Android based tablet entering the Indian tablet space called the Reliance 3G tablet, a 7-inch slate that offers the user the Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system with 3G connectivity and at an aggressive price point.

According to an article over on News Tonight, the newly launched Reliance 3G tablet is being rolled out in the nations capital, Mumbai and Kolkata and the Android slate will be available in Reliance Mobile and Reliance World stores.

The president of Reliance Communications, Mr. Mahesh Prasad says, “We believe the unmet demand of a fully-loaded tablet at an aggressive price point will now fuel the aspirations of the evolved customers.”

According to Gadgetizor, the Reliance 3G Tablet offers the user a 7-inch touch screen, Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS, a 1GHz processor, a 2 megapixel camera and a front facing VGA camera, built-in 3G and GPS, 512MB RAM, microSD expansion up to 32GB and weighs in at 389 grams.

Price wise the Reliance 3G tablet commands a price tag of some Rs. 12,999, which apparently makes the slate one of the cheapest available in India and comes with the option of three Reliance 3G plan discounts.

Said 3G discounts are 1GB data a month for 12 months at Rs. 4500, 2GB data a month for 12 months at Rs. 5500, and 3GB data per month for 12 months at Rs. 7000, and all plans are prepay.

So there you have it yet another Android tablet making its way in India, although there is no word on whether the Reliance 3G tablet will eventually be updated to the tablet specific OS Android Honeycomb.

  1. Hi Sandesh

    I write to you on behalf of The Viewspaper (www.theviewspaper.net) which is India's largest youth paper and the 5th largest media company on Facebook.

    We are organizing the World's Largest Tweet-A-Thon! and would like to invite you as a panelist for the same.

    From American political journalists in the 1950s, to The Economist magazine not so long ago; speculation has run rife about India and whether we will survive as a nation.

    Poverty. Corruption. Terrorism. Disease. Currency woes. We’ve got it all, and more. We’ve been written off, doomsdayed, delegitimized – but we keep coming back! What is the root of this appetite for adversity, this solid resilience?

    It is our nation’s optimism. No matter how much you bring her down, India feels up!

    A first of its kind initiative, the #IFeelUp Tweetathon is a 3-day virtual conference, which delights in the irrepressible state of the nation, in spite of its laundry list of issues. Over 72 hours, we’ll be bringing in 400 panelists for non-stop discussion, and that’s where you come in.

    We would like to invite you as a panelist for a 30 minute session wherein you can participate from any part of the world.Gul Panag, Ashoka Changemakers, Miss Malini and Bhawana Somaaya are Some of the big names attending the event.

    If you're interested, kindly email us your contact information so that we could provide you with more details about the event.

    I look forward to hearing from you.

    Thanks & Regards
