Wammy Desire 2 Vs Asus Memo Pad

Wickedleak, an Indian company, has recently announced its first quad core processor based tablet, called Wammy Desire 2. The tablet instantly shot to limelight thanks to its quad core processor and price of Rs 9,999. Moreover, the quad core processor used in the tablet is the Exynos 4412 which is used in devices like Samsung Galaxy SIII smartphone, Samsung Galaxy Note, Samsung Galaxy Note II and Note 8.0. That makes it the cheapest devices with the noted processor. More from The Mobile Indian

But at the same price, you could get also the Asus Memo Pad. Asus has been in the PC and tablet field for a long time and it has better brand value than Wickedleak. However, the Memo Pad has a single core 1GHz processor. So is it wise to get a better product or to choose a product of better brand?

Here is a comparison of their specification which would help you choose one between the two. More from The Mobile Indian

Wickedleak'a Wammy Desire 2 is much slimmer and lighter than the Asus tablet. To be specific, the Wammy Desire 2 is just 10.9 mm thick and weighs 298 grams while the Asus Memo Pad is 11.1 mm thick and weighs 370 grams. More from The Mobile Indian

Battery:

With a 4270 mAh Lithium Polymer, which claims to provide 7 hours of talktime, the Asus Memo Pad sits pretty against the Wammy Desire 2 which has much smaller 3300 mAh battery though Wickedleak has not specified how much talktime it provides. More from The Mobile Indian

Conclusion:

In a nutshell, the Wammy Desire 2 seems a better choice with its quad core processor, higher resolution based display and an additional rear camera. Also, connectivity features are plenty in the Wickedleak tablet. More from The Mobile Indian

However, if you are not concerned with these three advantages, then the Asus Memo Pad is a better choice as it probably has higher talktime thanks to its bigger battery than the Desire 2. Also, Asus is a better known brand than Wickedleak.
