India is home to quite a few smartphone manufacturing companies, Micromax, iBall and Lava are quite probably the most well-known ones to the outside world. These three companies are usually releasing low to mid-range handsets. iBall, in particular, have released a rather capable mid-range smartphone less than two months ago called Andi 5M Xotic which is already available for purchase in India. This company has now unveiled a new mid-range tablet, let’s take a look what it has to offer, shall we.

The Slide Stellar A2 is iBall’s new mid-range tablet which features a 7-inch display 1280 x 800 in resolution. 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage are also a part of this package. This tablet is powered by an octa-core processor clocked at 1.7GHz, the manufacturer of this chip is currently unknown, but it’s probably a MediaTek-branded SoC. Surprisingly enough, this tablet ships with two 8-megapixel cameras, one is located on the back of this tablet, and the other one on its front side. Dual-LED flash is also available on the back of this tablet and is flanking the 8-megapixel sensor. Android 4.4 KitKat comes pre-installed on the Slide Stellar A2 with some of iBall’s software offerings on top of it (Face Beauty, Live Photo, Hotknot wireless data transfer, Cast Screen, etc.). This is a dual-SIM device and it will ship with a 3,000mAh battery on the inside. 3G HSPA+ connectivity is available here, no 4G LTE, in case you were wondering.
