Display
| Display Type Display Technology => A number of display technologies and types used in mobile phones => TFT (Thin Film Transistor), IPS (In-Place Switching), OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode), AMOLED (Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode), Super AMOLED (an even advanced version of AMOLED), Resistive Touchscreen (Resistive touchscreens contain two layer of conductive material with a very small gap between them which acts as a resistance), Capacitive Touchsceen (Capacitive touchscreen technology consists of a layer of glass coated with a transparent conductor) | LCD |
| Size | 7.0 inches |
| Resolution | 480 x 800 pixels |
| Pixel Density Pixel Density (PPI) is refers to the concentration of pixels on a particular display, measured in pixels per inch (ppi). Pixel density is calculated by dividing the diagonal pixel resolution of a display by its diagonal size, higher pixel density better display quality. | 133 PPI |
| Features | Capacitive, Multi-touch, Ambient light sensor |
Platform
| Operating System OS => Every computer system run on a base software called Operating System (OS). Operating System controls all basic operations of the computer (such as smartphone, PDAs, tablet computers and other handheld devices). The Operating System allows the user to install and run third party applications (apps), apps are used to add new functionality to the device. | Android 4.1 |
Hardware
| CPU | Dual-core, 1600 MHz |
| GPU GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is a single-chip processor designed to rapidly manipulate and alter memory to accelerate the creation of images in a frame buffer intended for output to a display, This includes things such as lighting effects, object transformations, and 3D motion. | Yes |
| RAM RAM (Random Access Memory) is a type of computer memory that can be accessed randomly, any byte of memory can be accessed without touching the preceding bytes that allows information to be stored and accessed quickly from random locations. RAM is the most common type of memory found in computer systems, smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices. | 1GB DDR3 |
| Internal Storage Internal Storage is a data storage space (flash memory) mostly used in smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices where operating system, apps, music, photos, videos, files and other user data Is stored. | 8GB |
| Memory Card Slot Memory Card Slot is a special slot for inserting a memory card. Memory cards allow you to expand the phone's built-in memory, A memory card (sometimes called a flash memory card or a storage card) is a small storage medium used to store data such as text, pictures, audio, and video, for use on small, portable or remote computing devices such as mobile phones, mp3 players, digital cameras. | No |
| Sensors Sensors are electronic components that detects and responds to some type of input from the physical environment. The specific input could be light, heat, motion, moisture, pressure and location, The output is generally a signal that is converted to use in computing systems, a location sensor, such as a GPS receiver is able to detect current location of your electronic device. | Accelerometer, Compass |
| 3.5mm jack | Yes |
| Loudspeaker | Yes |
Battery
Camera
| Rear Camera Camera is able to capture photographs and usually videos, The most important characteristics of a camera are the resolution (measured in megapixels), lens focus type (fixed or automatic), higher megapixel cameras are known to capture higher quality photos, but not always a good measurement of the photos quality. | Single camera |
| Front Camera | Yes |
| Video | Yes |
| Flash Flash Light => There is commonly two types of flash lights are used in camera mobile phones, LED Flash (LED flash offers lower power consumption with drive circuitry that takes up very little room, LEDs can be strobed faster than any other light source), Xenon Flash (xenon flash produces an extremely intense full-spectrum white light for a very short duration) | No |
Connectivity
| Bluetooth Bluetooth is a wireless communications technology for exchanging data between mobile phones, headsets, computers and other network devices over short distances without wires, Bluetooth technology was primarily designed to support simple wireless networking of personal consumer devices. | Yes |
| Wi-fi Wi-Fi is a popular wireless networking technology using radio waves to provide high-speed network connections that allows devices to communicate without cords or cables, Wi-Fi is increasingly becoming the preferred mode of internet connectivity all over the world. | Yes |
| USB | microUSB 2.0 |
| GPS GPS The Global Positioning System is a satellite-based radio navigation system, GPS permits users to determine their position, velocity and the time 24 hours a day, in all weather, anywhere in the world, In order to locate your position, your device or GPS receiver must have a clear view of the sky. | YES |
| NFC NFC (Near field communication) is a set of standards for smartphones and similar devices to establish peer-to-peer radio communications with each other by touching them together or bringing them into proximity, usually no more than a few inches. |

Pros: - Compact 7-inch form factor - microSD card slot for expandable storage - Decent connectivity with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, HDMI Cons: - Low resolution 480 x 800 display - Old Android 4.1 operating system - Mediocre cameras lack flash |
Maxwest enters the affordable tablet space with their compact ORBIT 78DC. This is a 7-inch Android slate aimed at casual users on tight budgets.
Priced low, the dual-core 78DC focuses on core functions over fancy features. It ships with a modest 800 x 480 resolution LCD display, passable dual-core processor, and older Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS.
The compact footprint makes it easy to grip in one hand for extended use. Construction utilizes cheaper plastics but build quality seems reasonable. At just 7-inches though, the low resolution screen looks quite pixelated and lacks sharpness.
Processing power stems from an unnamed dual-core 1.6GHz chip. Performance should handle daily tasks fine but struggles with heavy multitasking or 3D gaming.
You also get a paltry 1GB RAM and tiny 8GB storage, with the option to add more via microSD card.
For photography, a basic rear camera allows you to shoot photos and videos without much quality. The front-facing selfie camera also disappoints. Neither sensor contains a flash, resulting in dim or grainy results.
On the plus side, the ORBIT 78DC checks key connectivity boxes. You get Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, and HDMI support. Transfer media or charge via the micro USB port. Battery life ratings are unfortunately unavailable.
In closing, the 78DC delivers tablet functionality on the cheap. If you just want a compact slate mainly for light web access, ebook reading, or video watching, it gets the job done.
