Better than expected.

This is a large phone/small tablet ;). I got this in 48 hours so hats off to flipkart as usual. (The seller is W.S Retails though).
I really can't talk about Pros and Cons so will take this categorically.
The tablet is 7 inches and is sturdy. The backside case (with Dell Logo) can be removed to reveal an internal battery (Don't remove either). Only the usb and adapter came with it. Do get a Matte/Anti Glare Screen Guard. I had no problems with the display and lighting. Touch is very responsive.
SIM and VOICE CALLING- This phone has a sim card slot (micro sim) and YES it supports 4G too. (isn't mentioned in Flipkart's description). I tried an Airtel 4G sim in Bombay and it was smooth. 2G and 3G support is there too.
It has voice calling (like in a normal mobile phone) but one problem with the design is that the microphone is above the camera and the speaker is where the mouthpiece should have been. You WILL need headphones (better with a built in microphone) for voice calling. Or you can just rotate the phone when you talk (with the camera touching your ear) :P
FILE MANAGER- There will not be any file manager so install one (Solid Explorer is good for tablets). Only Play Music by google. Try "Music (Remix)" instead. Download MX Player for the videos.
UPDATES- A firmware update is available (this was on 22nd March and i bought it a day earlier so do the math.). My suggestion is to install the firmware update. You don't get Lollipop but its a dell update which makes the UI a lot smoother and stuff like the sound bar get updated. The Dell app (My Dell) gets a fresh look. It keeps track of the tablet's working. Dont forget to register with Dell. It helps with warranty tracking and renewal.
Try and disable Evernote as it takes up a lot of the RAM. In fact disable any pre-loaded app you wont be using. There aren't many but each is going to contribute to taking up RAM space. (Or just root it and remove the apps you don't want - voids warranty though).
VIBRATION- One thing i've seen with this tablet is that it has no vibration whatsoever. So it goes from Volume 1--> Silent. None of the Venue 7s have vibration. But it isn't a deal breaker for most people.
GAMING- Out of the 16GB, only 10GB is available which is good enough for games.
I installed FIFA 15 UT, Asphalt 8 Airborne, Real Racing 3, Angry Birds Go, Blitz Brigade and Hungry Shark Evolution. All the games ran well and i saw no lag whatsoever. I even played Real Racing 3 and FIFA one after the other. There was no drop in frame-rate. It has a very good RAM and processor clearly.This is a DECENT GAMING TABLET. It didn't even get too hot. The games and apps CANNOT be transferred to the SD card so it's a good thing it has 10-12GB free for the user.
MEDIA- Comes with something called MAX AUDIO. This app helps the tablet's cause. It makes the sound and audio quality much better. Can be used for game mode too. This tablet's speaker isn't the loudest. You can hear it clearly enough but it isn't LOUD. If you're a media freak, i suggest the Dell Portable BT speakers and headphones ( or Portonics portable speakers). As i said before headphones/with microphones are a must.
Preloaded Apps- I got Polaris Office 5 - Its good for word,pdfs etc. Other than that the tablet came with Evernote, Skitch, PocketCloud, Dell Cast, My Dell (after the firmware update) and CamCard. I disabled most of these and now have 600mb free after a reboot.
You can keep a limit on the background processes in the developer options. (Tap "Build Number" in "About Tablet" several times to activate developer options.)
A few last words.- I LOVE this tablet. It takes an hour or so for a full charge from 1-2%. Lasted me an entire day (i played FIFA for a few hours, whatsapped , music etc etc) Good battery life. Better than most Tablets in its range. It's got Dell's Name to go with it and i'm sure this tablet is sturdy. Good RAM,ROM,Processor and Display.
4/5 stars. One less than 5 due to the vibration and voice calling issues i mentioned.
best in range below 15000
By Bhanu pratap singh Bhation
awesome tab, feather touch, long lasting battery, very light, good display and good delivery by flipkart but................ This product is dumb as out of 1 GB RAM only 150 to 200 MB used to left for user. Hence non of the normal game & apps can be executed.
At this price range, this tab is a good bargain
By Avik Royon
I ordered this tab at Flipkart one evening and received it the next afternoon. As far as the tab is concerned it is the best one can get at such low price (Rs.10,200).
Before writing this review, I used the tab to its maximum capacity for two days and found the parameters to be more than satisfactory. The battery backup is pretty good (I got 10 hours after using the tab on 3G, downloading necessary apps on the first day, allowing system updates to take place and watching two 1080p movies back to back).
The sound and video quality is good. However, I felt the camera quality could have been better...but, given the price and the features it comes with, I could ask for more.

Very good choice for a tablet in budget range
By Ravine Nbron
Very good choice for a tablet in budget range. Works really good. Sound is also good and battery lasts long.But after using for some months i started recognizing it was not a good choice. The tab hangs like anything if we use 2 to 3 apps at a time. Chrome browser drags like a snail even with 2 to 3 tabs open. Better go for another product. Dell should have provided atleast 2gb ram to compensate it.
Great product. Loved it.
By Vikason
For starters, the tab is of perfect size to hold in a palm, yet not small enough like a smartphone. Its finish is very fine and glossy and can be a nice eye-candy of a piece. The android operating system works like a charm, had just basic apps preloaded (no bloatware) and works like a charm with the apps I loaded (Skype, Whatsapp, and a few games). The network works great on both WiFi and 3G, and calling works fine too. The battery lasts well though it's still my first month usage yet. It gets a little heated during charging though, but nothing to worry over. The touch sensitivity is great. All in all, I am delighted.
Very POOR and Useless tablet
By Sanjeev Khannaon
Never Buy... One of the poorest tablets available...1. Hangs on when two applications are used at a stretch2. Very slow in responding even while using caller or any other application even when singly used3. Very degraded UI used by Dell4. the UI uses almost 90% of the Cache memory which makes the tablet very slow and leaves no space for other applications5. Display is nice but touch is horrible6. I need to restart it once in a day even to read messages easily7. Its good for kids for listening to music and watching movies8. Using net on tablet exposes its other drawback9. I have now used the same for some 5 months and looking to replace it.10 Not recommended even for a basic user or even a starter
Dell Tablet gone dead
By Gautam Jon
Extremely disappointed on the performance of this tablet. initially it was too slow and hanged very frequently, thought of returning it but due to return hassle and i being located in remote india didn't return it. For past few days it has stopped working completely. Screen itself is not coming up. This product is under warranty and not sure how to reach out Dell Customer service center from my place. There is no Dell service center nearby. I urge Amazon.in and Dell to look into this matter urgently
Disappointed.
By Annieon
Even though the tab has great features, I don't know why, it's getting hanged too often. Many times I had to wait till all the charge is discharged to get it started again. I don't know whether all the Tabs have the same problem or particularly this. To admit frankly I'm not satisfied with it. SORRY.
