The presence of Bluetooth and SIM card slot in Celkon Celtab CT2 is an added advantage.

Verdict

As Micromax Funbook Infinity and Celkon Celtab CT2 are cost effective tablets with the similar hardware and operating system, thereby offering similar user experience to the consumers. But, when it comes to the software features, both the devices are different.

The Micromax offering is preloaded with educational and entertainment content as the company has entered partnership with McGraw Hill, Pearson, Everonn and Vriti for the former and BigFilx, Zynga, Hangama and IndiaGames for the latter. Also, the tablet comes with Adobe Flash player, access to M! Store and 2 full length movies.

On the other hand, the SIM card supporting Celtab CT2 comes pre-installed with applications and games and has features such as Live TV and Opera mini browser.

For consumers who like to have a SIM card supporting tablet with Bluetooth, the Celkon's offering will be the right device.

If the concern is on better battery backup, relatively lesser price tag, a rear camera and a faster processor, then the Micromax Funbook Infinity could a better option.
