Croma, a consumer electronics retail store, in partnership with Intel India on Thursday launched two Windows 8.1-powered devices in India, the Croma 1179 tablet and the Croma 1177 2-in-1 hybrid tablet with a detachable keyboard, priced at Rs. 13,990 and Rs. 21,990 respectively. Both the devices are powered by the same quad-core Intel Atom Z3735D ‘Bay Trail-T’ processor.
The Croma 1179 tablet features an 8-inch (1280×800 pixels) display with a pixel density of 160ppi. Croma mentions a clock speed of 1.33GHz for the Atom Z3735D SoC onboard, meaning the company has not underclocked it. It also features 2GB of RAM. The Croma 1179 features a 2-megapixel rear camera without flash, while there is another 2-megapixel camera on the front for video chatting. The Croma 1179 Tablet comes with 32GB of built-in storage, which can be further expanded with the help of a microSD card (maximum capacity unspecified). It packs a massive 5000mAh lithium polymer battery.
