A brief comparison of 3G tablets Beetel Magiq and Reliance 3G Tabs will clear your dilemma and help you to go for right deal.


We have seen in last couple of days the launch of two relatively inexpensive branded Android tablets- the Magiq from Beetel (Owner of Bharti Telecom and Airtel) and the 3G Tab from Reliance Telecom. Here's a quick comparison of the important features of the two tablets.Screen The Magiq has a 7-inch resistive touch screen with a resolution of 800x480 pixels (WVGA). The 3G Tab has a similarly sized screen with the same resolution but it's capacitive in nature. Operating SystemUnfortunately, both tablets don't come with Android 3.0 (Honeycomb), the Android OS developed specifically for tablets. However, the 3G Tab comes with the newer Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) while the Magiq has to make do with Android 2.2 (Froyo). There isn't too much difference between the two versions but Gingerbread does improve performance and makes better use of the battery.


ProcessorThe Magiq offers a more powerful processor than the 3G Tab (1GHz vs. 800MHz). As a result, it would be safe to say that the Beetel tablet will offer at least slightly better performance numbers.Battery

At 2200mAh, the Magiq has a considerably lower powered battery than the Reliance 3G Tab's 3400mAh battery. Considering that the 3G Tab also has a newer OS, it's very likely that it will give better battery performance.PriceThere is a Rs. 3,000 difference between the Rs. 9,999 price-tag of the Magiq and the Rs. 12,999 price-tag of the Reliance 3G Tab. However, at first glance, the extra Rs. 3,000 for the Reliance 3G Tab looks worth it since it offers clear upgrades over the Beetel Magiq.
