My 6 year daughter wanted to watch some cartoons, play some games and explore some features/apps like clock, calendar, calculator etc and we had broadband network at home so I thought a tab at a reasonable rate, with wi-fi connectivity is the best option for this. One of my colleague mentioned to me that Micromax 255 Funbook is best suited for this and his both kids are using one.


I immediately googled and checked its features and found them worth, what exactly I was looking for - it is not having an extremely good performance but I think this is what I wanted meeting our needs of little browsing, watching YouTube, playing candy crush etc.


What is Good? Deal on Flipkart was good, got a combo deal with screen guard together for 4500/-. The model is working fine since then. Soon after we brought it, my daughter dropped it once and the screen cracked, the same was repaired at the Micromax service center for Rs. 1000. It took about 3 weeks time for this to get fixed, with not much hassles.


Browsing is easy, I have used Skype call, WhatsApp, played Candy Crush, used Facebook etc. Battery charging etc is no issues.


Only recently, the volume for YouTube videos is kind of become somewhat less, but I am yet to figure out if that is a speaker issue or the video problem.


Battery life: good.


Not-so-good: Mind you - this is not having a SIM slot, so its not a tablet for calling, hence No 3G/4G support, No FM. No Bluetooth. It has got a basic front(0.3MP) and rear camera(2MP) - just the basic, but keeps my daughter happy - something for her to play clicking pictures.


RAM is less, only 512 MB


Other features? size: 7inches. OS: Android 4.0 Processor: 1.2GHz Battery: 2600mAh


Tip If using internet, keep all auto-updates off, else this tab will slow-down simply trying to do a lot of things in the background. Keep it simple, neat and clutter free. Don't expect features like Proximity Sensors, Gyroscope and so on.


Verdict: Micromax have now come up with lot of newer models with better features and at a competitive rates. Check what is that you are needing in a tab and go for one. Do not spend on buying something which you (/your kids) will never use and also, do not expect miracles if your budget is about 5k.
