Micromax has just launched two budget tablets in the Indian market. The first one is the Canvas Tab P650E which has been launched for Rs 8,999 and is the first tablet with CDMA support in the Canvas series of tablets. The second one is the Funbook Ultra HD P580 which has been launched for Rs 11,999 and will be the flagship tablet in the Funbook series. Let us take a look at the specifications of both the tablets.

Both the tablets have gone on sale on various e-commerce websites and their official launch seems just around the corner. They are good devices but the Nexus 7 (2012) somehow makes a lot more sense than any other budget tablet seeing the fact that it costs similar.
