“With a goal to connect and empower the forgotten billions, we are dedicated to drive 4G implementation in India. As the leading player in the tablet category, we want to offer incredible top-end specifications technology to all at an affordable price. Like its predecessors, this tablet offers the right mix of features and on-the-go connectivity. Our 7 inch 4G marvel is the first in its class, beating existing products in the market by more than a 20 per cent margin,” said Suneet Singh Tuli, President and CEO of DataWind.

The affordable 4G Tablet moreGmax 4G7 integrates a 7 inch multi-touch projective capacitive screen display with a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels, featuring a 0.3 MP front facing camera and a 3 MP rear camera with the Android 5.1 operating System running on a Quad Core Cortex A7 processor, has 1GB RAM and 8GB flash memory.

In addition, the tablet offers upto 32GB of expandable memory with features like Wi-fi Hotspot, Wi-fi Direct, Bluetooth and GPS.

“The majority of the population in India still is not connected to the Internet. Affordable devices, alone, cannot help the masses to be connected. We need to provide something on the connectivity front as well to bring mobile Internet to the masses. All DataWind devices come bundled with the infinite power of the internet, at no additional cost on the Reliance Communications network,” aded Tuli.

In addition to regular voice calling functionality, the tablet incorporates DataWind’s Internet-delivery platform covered by 18 U.S. and international patents allowing the devices to deliver a fast mobile web experience on regular EDGE/3G/4G LTE based networks.

This reduces bandwidth consumption by up to 97 per cent, allowing the delivery of web pages across even congested 2G networks in 5 to 7 seconds – with even faster speeds on 4G networks.
