Flipkarts New Tablets

Flipkart DigiFlip Pro XT911, XT811: A closer look at Intel-powered Android tablets

Flipkart, India’s biggest e-commerce website, today strengthened its presence in the devices segment by launching five new tablets in partnership with Intel. All five tablets have an Intel Atom Processor and are under the company’s Digiflip Pro branding.

The tablets launched include Digilip Pro XT911, Pro XT901, Pro XT811, Pro XT801 and Pro ET701. The ET701 is the cheapest one and costs Rs 5999, while XT911 is the most expensive and is priced at Rs 15,999. The Pro XT901 is the WiFi only version of the XT911 and costs Rs 13,999. The Pro XT811 is priced at Rs 10,999, while the XT801 which is the WiFi only version of this tablet costs Rs 8999. The tablets are available on Flipkart.

So what’s Flipkart offering with these tablets? All come with a free Digiflip book case, a 70 percent discount on 1-year subscription of any magazines from the India Today Group, an issue of Reader’s Digest India, discount of 35 percent on on shopping on Myntra’s App, 15 free best-selling eBooks worth over Rs 1,700 from Flipkart.

Flipkart’s tablets have the advantage of coming with an Intel processor where the brand name is concerned. They also come with voice-calling, 3G option and given that these tablets are under the Rs 16,000 price tag, it’s a fairly solid offer. But whether, specs and Flipkart’s name alone will help boost the sale of these tablets remains to be seen. At the moment, it’s lacking the X factor.
