Conclusion

Datawind UbiSlate 7Ci is one of the best tablet available in the market with budget-friendly price tag. The tablet does not lag in any area and performs well against other competitors. Overall the UbiSlate 7Ci tablet is made for pocket-lovers but if you just want a powerful tablet then move towards the high-end tablets segment. On the other hand, some competitive priced tablets performs more in benchmarks but the UbiSlate 7Ci works practically well. On the closing note, the tablet is a decent buy for the beginner in the tablets market.

  • Guruprasad

    I received this tablet after a long wait since Feb2012. Except for unexpected blank screen sometimes while opening browsers or seeing internet through Idea 3G 1732 datacard,it works well playing any video file with excellent color contrast. The audio through headphones is very good. All android applications including the online TV applications like 2GLive TV works without any glitch and all online Radio works well.
    Built in camera and the speaker are worst.
    The battery life is poor for video and internet through dongle but charging is fast.

    Last point: I was never successful to charge the battery to 100%. Beyond 93%, it never charges and it starts discharging…

  • adarsha

    A complete cheat. They took money form thousands of unsuspecting customers like me for more than a year now but never cared to deliver the device inspite of many requets

  • Anand Singh

    I am using ubislate 7Ci. No battery backup. Switchoff within 5 min. Can’t check whole tablet in 6 months. Now trying to contact datawind company but no replyyyyyyyyyyy…….
    Check and buyyyyyyy gentle advice.

  • Daniel Meah

    This is simply a A13 tablet from china ( The one’s you get for about $50. Rebranded.

  • I have received my UBISlate 7C+ tablet today. I don’t know, why techone3.in is mentioned cheap tablet in market ? May be price wise it will be cheap. But the product performance, its always hangs between application opening, and also its takes nearly 5-6 seconds to open applications too.

  • Bharat Trivedi

    Defective Ubislate7Ci device was supplied . On complain, the company went silent after asking various details for one month. It seems the company do not intend to replace the defective device! My booking id is PMC5A97.

  • Sharmistha

    Datawind not delivered after taking payment
    My order ID is “PM86E31”, For “Ubislate7C+ Smartphone.

    As per our telephonic conversation to your Marketing teams in your Amritsar India Office.
    The officer Told me for 100% delivery with in 3 day but More then 3 days already past still I see in datawind website order received at last 6 days of booking and as usual Customer support phone number also not respond at all movement.
    I am deeply disturbing for my payment. I thing all my money went in to water if i found this then i have to take some legal action against Datawind.
    so better delivery my device with in 2 days in my address which i already provided sending through email in many time in your supporting email.

    Regards

    Very poor customer service. I received my tablet and after the first charge the screen messed up. I contacted them with my problem and they were prompt to respond and requested I send a picture of the screen. I did and have not heard anything since. Just recently reached out to them again and still no response. Very frustrating!
