Coming to the build of these tablets, the Funbook Pro looks too glossy whereas the Smart Tab 2 has a broad screen bezel around the display.

Operating System: In this segment, both the tablets acquire equal weightage being flavored with Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system. However, the Smart Tab 2 is upgradeable to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS.

Processor: Funbook Pro is equipped with a 1.2 GHz Cortex A8 processor while the Smart Tab 2 is equipped with a 1.2 GHz Xburst processor.

Verdict

Though both the Funbook Pro and Karbonn Smart Tab 2 have similar hardware and operating system, still, they are way too different when it comes to performance and software features.

However, Funbook Pro is the successor of the educational tablet, Micromax Funbook, which was launched in April and it is loaded with education related content. At the same time, the Karbonn Smart Tab 2 is expecting its Jelly Bean update soon and priced relatively lower than the Funbook Pro. So in the end, the decision is entirely yours and it depends on your requirements. However, the suggestion would be more bended towards Micromax FunBook Pro.
