The popular maker of PC peripherals AOC, is coming back with two new Android tablets running 4.1.1 Jelly Bean firmware version. AOC will launch both a 7.0-inch and 9.7-inch tablet, featuring decent specs and better design.

AOC Breeze 7.0 (MG70DR-8)

The Breeze 7.0 features 7.0-inches of capacitive touch screen display, 1.5GHz single-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, expansion slot for up to 32GB of microSD card, micro USB 2.0, Wi-Fi, HDMI output port, and Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean OS. It also has a 3G dongle slot for USB stick of 3G/3.5G broadband mobile connection which is lacking from earlier tablets. Breeze 7.0 weighs around 330 grams with the thickness of 8.8 mm.

AOC Breeze 9.7 (MG70DR-8)

The larger version, Breeze 9.7 comes with 9.7-inches of capacitive touch screen display, 1.5GHz single-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB internal storage, expansion slot for up to 32GB of microSD card, micro USB 2.0, Wi-Fi, HDMI output port, and Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean OS. Similar with Breeze 7.0, Breeze 9.7 has a 3G dongle port for broadband stick. It weighs 670 grams with the thickness of 8.0 mm.

Selling Price

AOC Breeze 7.0 will cost Rs 7,990 or AU$ 142, lower than Google Nexus 7 at Rs 15,999 in Google Play Store while Breeze 9.7 starts at Rs 12,990 or AU$ 231, less expensive than Google Nexus 10, costing Rs 31,999.

Possible Drawbacks?

Due to its low price, both Breeze tablet may not have high-definition display or multi-angle viewing which is provided by IPS or In-Plane Switching technology. Another thing is the single core processor for such large device carrying Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean. Hopefully, users won't have to suffer on some occasional lag and touch response.
