Taiwanese firm Asus has launched its new FonePad 7 tablet with dual SIM in India for Rs 12,999. The voice-calling tablet was first unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona earlier this year.

The tablet is powered by a 1.2GHz Intel Atom Z2520 dual core SoC and is paired with 1GB of RAM. The FonePad runs on Android Jelly Bean 4.2 OS and comes with the customised user interface by Asus.

It features a seven-inch IPS display with 1280800 pixels resolution. It comes with  16GB of internal storage that can be expanded up to 64 GB using a microSD card. Asus has also added a 5MP rear camera and a 1.2MP front facing camera. Connectivity options include 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0, GPS and dual SIM card slot. It packs in a 3,950mAh battery, which the company claims is good enough for 28 hours of talk time. The tablet will compete with its single-sim version as well as Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 in the market.
