Micromax Funbook P300 – Android 4.0 OS
HCL MeTab U1 – Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS
We know that Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is the latest operating system released by Google and Android 4.0 devices right now market are very less, this makes Funbook very interesting as the devices comes with pre-installed Android 4.0 OS. This will certainly boost Micromax tablet but HCL MeTab U1 just comes with Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS which is certainly not the best for tablet (Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS is for mobiles phones only).
We just loved Android 4.0 on the Funbook P300 tablet and its quite wonderful operating system for tablet.
Processor Comparison
Micromax Funbook P300 – 1.2 GHz single core processor, 512 MB RAM
HCL MeTab U1 – 1 GHz Single core processor, 512 MB RAM
Both Funbook and MeTab U1 comes with ARM A8 processor but Funbook is clocked at 1.2 GHz and HCL MeTab is clocked at 1 GHz and this makes a little difference in the specs of the tablets. Both devices are equipped with 512 MB RAM as well to compute operation faster which is certainly must be atleast 1 GHz for tablets. So in the processor comparison Funbook takes edge cut from the HCL MeTab.

Micromax Funbook P300 – 7 inches
HCL MeTab U1 – 7 inches
The Micromax Funbook and HCL MeTab U1 both comes with 7 inches touchscreen display. Funbook provides a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels and same is the case with HCL MeTab U1 tablet. The good thing is that both the tablet comes with TFT capacitive touchscreen display providing 16 million colors.
Camera Comparison
Micromax Funbook P300 – Front Facing VGA Camera
HCL MeTab U1 – Front Facing VGA Camera
Both the tablets, since they are targeted at a very cheaper price and they mainly come to student for education purpose, it’s quite common to see VGA camera available on the front and both don’t have a rear side camera. Other factors why then don’t come with rear camera is the price what you pay for these tablets.
Battery Comparison
Micromax Funbook P300 – 2800 mAh battery
HCL MeTab U1 – 3600 mAh battery
A battery backup can play substantial role in the device performance and entertainment that you can extract from these devices. Longer the battery backup, the better is the results of the tablet. Funbook comes with 2800 mAh battery and HCL MeTab U1 with 3600 mAh battery which is quite better than the former one.
Storage Comparison
Micromax Funbook P300 – 4 Gb internal, 32 GB via microSD card
HCL MeTab U1 – 4 Gb internal, 32 GB via microSD card
Both Funbook and MeTab U1 comes with 4 GB internal storage capacity and have a micro SD card slot by which users can pump in extra 32 GB of maximum storage using the micro SD card.
Education Content Comparison
HCL has different plans for different MeTab that they have launched and MeTab U1 their cheapest in the line doesn’t come out with any of the education content. Its higher version K12 comes with various course material from lower classes till 12th at Rs 3,500 extra for content. Comparatively Micromax has better plans for their content as it comes with Vriti marketplace for content where in users can download content and material from various publishers priced from Rs 50 till Rs 1,000 for each.
It’s clear that Funbook by Micromax offers more scalable and independent plans while HCL tablets forces you to buy content compulsory and if you are studying class X then lower class content is of no use for you.
Price Comparison
Micromax Funbook – Rs 6,500
HCL MeTab U1 – Rs 8000
