Beetel on a roll, announce Magiq II tablet

Close on the heels of the launch of the original Magiq tablet, Beetel have announced their new version of the Magiq tablet - the Beetel Magiq II, as reported by Telecom Talk. So what’s in the new version of the Magiq? Firstly, it will have a 768 MHz Snapdragon processor and comes with an 8GB microSD card. The phone will run Android 2.2 and will have no internal memory. As part of the specs, the tablet will also have a dual 2MP camera, comfy stand, trackpad and stereo speakers. 

The form factor’s the same, the Magiq II just has a downgraded processor

Here’s a lowdown on the specs of the Beetel Magiq II:

• 7-inch Resistive touchscreen with a 480 x 800 pixel resolution
• 768 MHz Snapdragon processor
• 3G, EDGE/GPRS
• Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR
• 2 megapixel rear camera, 2 megapixel front camera
• GPS with A-GPS support
• 8GB memory expandable up to 16GB via microSD card
• 3.5 mm handsfree socket

The Magiq II will be priced at Rs. 9,799, while the earlier model was priced at Rs. 9,999. For a couple of hundreds less than the price of the original, it’s hard to figure out the practicality of this new tablet, as the only visible difference is the processor that is downgraded from 1GHz to 768MHz. Do you think the company can work any kind of ‘Magiq’ with this new tablet?
