Another super-budget Android tablet is now available on the UK high street, with Argos adding to its range of JoyTAB devices by stocking the Gemini JoyTAB 7. It’s a slightly smaller 7″ model, but you still get Google’s “Ice Cream Sandwich” onboard as your OS, and a capacitive display, all for a literally unbelievable price of £129.
This one’s available for home delivery too, although the product image Argos is using is rather out of date, so we’d advise heading off to a physical store and having a look before buying…
…as if it arrives with Android 2.3 pre-loaded that’s not quite such a stonking deal. Check it out over at Argos, where the tech specs definitely state it should arrive with Android 4.0 as its OS. Here are the specs. The 800×480 screen res is a bit of a shame.

It’s smooth to use, the 1080p display is sharp, clear and bright, the device is extremely light and thin and therefore very pocketable and portable — much more so than other 5-inch phones we’ve used. And yet… we’re a bit unimpressed by the overall package…
A relatively high-spec smartphone, with a 4.5″ display running at 480 x 854 resolution and powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, plus the Ascend G510 arrives running Android 4.1.1 — albeit potentially hindered by Huawei only sticking 512MB of RAM inside it..
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?
