Both the tablets will use Android 4.2 Jelly Bean out of the box operating system and will house 16GB of internal memory, which can further be expanded by upto 22 GB with microSD card. There is no word on the chipset provider, clock speed and the RAM of the devices. The tablets will come with voice calling capacity and will house high-resolution front and rear cameras.
