Powered by a 1.5GHz dual core processor, the tablet demonstrates increased efficiency and high performance. The 512MB DDRIII RAM also enables seamless multi-tasking, which allows the user the liberty to access to several programs, applications and high-end games at the same time without letting the tablet’s performance suffer. The company claims that the standout feature of the Legend tablet is its Dual-SIM capability, which allows users to opt for service plans that can optimise their calling and data usage.
