Review: Budget Android Tablet Nokia T20 is good enough
A 10.4-inch tablet that's guaranteed to get two years of system updates isn't exactly offering the moon, but for a retail price of just under $250, it's a solid value. The Nokia T20 Android tablet has its annoyances, but its 2K resolution screen, expandable storage, front and rear cameras, and decent battery life all add up to an experience that's good enough to be intriguing. This is a tablet that can handle all kinds of media consumption if that's what you want. Watching shows and reading on it are perfectly acceptable. It's also a fine general-purpose device for browsing the web. Plus, half of T20's annoyances aren't even Nokia's fault—it's how Android and its apps stretch out for larger screens that's annoying. This tablet isn't a direct replacement for an iPad because it lacks the app ecosystem and certain accessory support, but it is a cheaper way to get content on a large screen. It might also be a suitable tablet for a kid because Google Kids Space comes ready to go, out … [Read more...] about Review: Budget Android Tablet Nokia T20 is good enough

They said they would launch an agitation shortly to force the civic administration into action. Antony Kureethara, Congress leader in the council, alleged that though the issue of bad roads was brought to the attention of the civic administration on several occasions during council meetings and through representations, the administration did not pay heed to it.
