Smart is offering the Cherry Mobile Superion or the ZTE V9 Android tablet for only P200 a month if you sign up for a Smart Bro
SIM-only Plan 999. The deal is for a 24-month contract so all in all,
you pay P4,800 for any of the tablets being offered. This price is
still quite cheap not to mention light on the pocket considering you’ll
only be forking out P200 every month. This is of course on top of the
P999 monthly service fee for the Smart Bro SIM-only Plan 999. Under
this plan, you get unlimited mobile Internet service with maximum speed
of up to 2MBps.
The market for this deal are first time tablet users who are tight on
their budget but nonetheless need a device with unlimited internet
connection.
The Cherry Mobile Superion
and ZTE V9 are both 7-inch tablets with capacitive multi-touch
screens. They feature 600MHz CPUs and run on Android 2.2 Froyo. These
could be sufficient for first time users with minimal speed requirements
but for those looking for speedier tablets, you better look elsewhere.
A 600MHz CPU combined with Android 2.2 OS doesn’t offer a buttery
smooth tablet performance but for simple tasks and basic apps, this
set-up will do. The Cherry Mobile Superion and ZTE V9 have WiFi and 3G
connectivity options, so users can access the Android Market for
downloading apps.
These tablets are also being offered by Smart on prepaid for P9,995 through its online store.
