makes it easier to hold and carry the tablet for longer times as well. The

ppi pixel density. The Auxus Core X2 3G has a dual core 1.6 GHz processor form
Rockchip. The processor is based on ARM cortex A9 architecture and along with
that the device has a Mali 400 GPU which is present on high end smartphones
like the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100 as well. More from The Mobile Indian. As
its name suggests, it is a 3G Android tablet that supports SIM calling
capability. But sadly the tablet misses out on the earpiece. The problem can be
solved using a Bluetooth hands free kit. The device features a 0.3 megapixel
front facing camera that is good enough for video conferencing and that's about
it. At the rear there is a 2 megapixel camera which is better than the front
facing one and can also record VGA resolution videos as well.

conferencing and recording solution, but no rear camera is added.
