The Digiflip Pro XT 712 is a decent budget tablet for the price, only if Flipkart can iron out the kinks
Aug 25 2014 By Rahul GuptaThe Digiflip Pro XT 712 tablet from Flipkart is really a bold effort by the online megastore to offer an interesting product to the customers. However, it`s a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to a few aspects. The battery has a 3,000 mAh capacity and it offered close to six hours of playback time in our battery drain test, and with a 7-inch display size, this isn`t too bad. However subsequent recharges offered lower backup times. Nevertheless, for the price the tablet is a great bundle of joy, and with the freebies Flipkart is offering along with it, the buyers are surely in for a treat.To sum it all up, the Digiflip Pro XT 712 is a capable budget Android tablet that is designed for those who want to stay connected using dual-SIMs. It offers a number of useful features such as a 16GB storage, a quad-core processor and a 5-megapixel camera along with a flash. However, the company has clearly missed out ironing out the kinks and if it manages to do that, only then it will be a compelling product. If you are looking for other other products in the same price range then the best alternative would be the Asus Fonepad dual SIM, which also offers similar functionality along with a bigger brand name attached to it, while being offered at almost the same price now.Â
Read Full ReviewI placed the order immediately after seeing the ads since I was looking for a budget tablet and I trusted flipkart for its quality service I got as a customer ever since their launch.nnBut once I received the item (within 1 day, as usual great service), I immediately repented not spending few thousands more and buying something from a more reputed brand:nnFEW MARKETING STRATEGY WHICH MILEADS CUSTOMERS LIKE ME INTO BUYING IT:n-"Lenovo A7-50" and "HP Slate 7 Voice", with which the tab is compared in the product pge come with better batteries and expandable storage which is not there in this tablet. If comparing with other tablets, why not show full comparison?n-Book case offered at 50% price is not even worth the discounted price of Rs.400, better ones are available as low as Rs 250 in local market.n-In box accessories are of poorest nd cheapest quality possible. I did not even bother opening them since I already have better charger, USB cord, OTG cord and earphones from my other phones/tablet. Why bother providing them at all?n-5MP+2MP camera is of extremely poor quality. Its not the megapixels, but the quality of sensor that matters for taking good pics.n-The 5k vouchers are not actual ones. you need to spend around Rs.20,000 so as to get the benefir of all the vouchers.nnNow coming to Pros and Cons:nnPros:n+Display: Decent resolution, clarity and viewing angle.n+CPU: Decent speed for the pricen+Build quality: sturdy enough and is not plasticky.nnCons (Plenty of them):n-Camera is useless (both front and back). My backup HTC with 3.2 MP shoots better pics.n-SCRATCH GUARD FILM WAS OFFSET AND WAS FULL OF BUBBLES. WHY BOTHER OFFERING THEM IF CUSTOMER HAVE TO BUY A NEW ONE ANYWAYS?n-The removable narrow piece for accessing SIM card and Micro SD is very flimsy and will break off after few times of removing and attaching it. The design of the cover is very poor.n-Accessories are of poorest quality possible. Even cheper than poorest quality one that can be found in a local footpath electronic vendor)n -Earphone is of cheapest quality possible. Will not even last 15 days of rough usage. Only good for voice calls, dont bother listeing to misuc. Bundled earphone from cheaper nokia/samsung phone are way better.n-Charger (WHITE COLOR FOR A BLACK TABLET!) is of substandard quality. With the textured finish it comes with, you will be ashamed of taking it out in front of anyone.n-USB Cable and OTG Cable (AGAIN WHITE COLOR FOR A BLACK TABLET!) is of cheapest quality possible.n-The book case offer at 50% docsount is not even worth the discounted price of Rs. 400. It is of very poor fit. You get better looking, better fitting and better quality book case for Rs. 250 in local market.
I have ordered it on lanch day and got it on 28th of June, on the launch day, there was also an offer try and buy in all offers with this tablet, If he/she don't like the tablet then he/she can request for a refund within 30days of delivery, I also have a screenshot of that offer, yesterday flipkart executive refused that there was not any offers like that, amazing. I have many issues with this tablet, first the power and volume keys on left hand, I'm really unable to use comfortably, sounds are really pathetic, extremely low, its not have 10% of sound of a 1K cost phone, you can't hear it if there are a ceiling fan running in room, In headphones if increased sound more than half thn its mixes some horrible noise in the playing track, touch is sticky, you can't play subway surfers or temple run smoothly coz touch response are late, In standby mode its heating like hell, I have done all the trouble shooting the executive told me but everything is same like before, I really don't want replacement, Sorry I want my money back.
