BSNL Penta IS701R review
The built quality is really impressive, looks sturdy, easy to handle and give you a firm grip. The tab is made of plastic and is light weight. The front side has 3 physical dedicated buttons and a VGA camera just above it. The power button, mini USB, 3.5 mm audio jack and TF card slot is present on one side. There is no HDMI port. This tab does come with built in speakers.
Display screen and touch quality
The display screen is 7 inches supporting 800 by 600 pixel resolution. The quality is not so good, not sharp enough. Move your head a little bit left or right and you can see the pixels. This is a resistive touchscreen which makes it very difficult to operate especially if you have used a capacitive tab before.

The touchscreen material is of matt finish and when you swap your fingers it feels as if it is moving a bit with your finger. As far as the touch screen response is concerned it is disappointing. Furthermore multi touch is not supported. The box pack says 800 x 600 pixel resolution but actually is 800 x 480 pixels.
Connectivity
There is a built in Wi-Fi which works good. It is switched off by default. The other option is to use a 3G dongle but make sure the model is supported. There is 3G dial app which I think works with the BSNL dongle or USB modem. I bought this tab without the BSNL scheme.
Camera
There is this front facing camera of VGA resolution which works with the camera app. You can click images, record videos and also video chat using Skype. There is one issue with the camera and that is the camera is placed on the edge so to get your face right in the center of the screen you need to tilt it.

Apps and Multimedia
This tab comes with some pre-loaded apps which will get you going plus the IS701R also supports android market place so you can download more apps as and when needed.

I could connect the USB pen drive and the tab detected it and was available via Video player and image viewer apps. I tried the 1080p HD video and worked pretty well. The only issue was the quality was not that sharp but still viewable and for Rs. 3999, it’s worth it.
Games
There is not GPU so you will not be able to play high end games but you can play the popular angry birds game, but you will need to download it as it does not come pre-installed. I found it difficult to play the anger bird game with the resistive screen.

Battery
When I opened the box pack the battery was fully charged. I will drain the battery and then plugin for a full charge and then will update this page.

Quadrant Benchmark
As expected without the GPU the scores are disappoint, 356 as compared with the Xtab A10 which got 1700+.
