Karbonn seems to have gone on a device launching spree with the launch of three new dual-SIM Smartphones- A11, a7+ and A1+ a few days ago and another two new tablets- Blade and Marvel.
During the launch of the tab, Shashin Devsare, Executive Director, Karbonn Mobiles, said, “Through the new product range and neuvo established eco-system ‘Karbonn Smart’ we wish to usher in a new revolution in the technologically advanced mobile market wherein Karbonn Mobiles can demonstrate its technical stewardship across the world”.

Our opinion:
The stiff competition created at this point of the year, with the launch of a number of tablets, Karbonn has to carve out a space for itself. Compared to the Smart Tab 3, the Smart Tab 9 features a bigger screen (1024 x 600) and a more powerful camera. Most other features like the Operating System, camera, storage and networking is the same. So, if you are a price conscious buyer, we suggest you have a look at Smart Tab 3 (Blade). However, for those who like to have a better visual experience for a longer time, Marvel is for you.
Look out for news and developments in this segment in the coming weeks.
