Coby Kyros MID9742 overview

Remember the Coby Kyros MID8042 that we did a review of back in the early part of the month? Well imagine that with a slightly bigger screen and a slightly better screen resolution and you have the Coby Kyros MID9742.

In all honesty, there’s all there is to this tablet from the previous one. It has a bigger screen (9.7-inch) with an (1024 x 768) SVGA resolution and twice as much built-in storage (8GB) than the MID8042. Everything else, from the design to the specs, is virtually identical. So instead of repeating ourselves, we decided to just to a short clip of its unboxing and quick tour of the tablet.

Coby Kyros MID9742 specs:

9.7″ Capacitive Multi-Touchscreen display – 1024 x 768 (XGA)
1GHz Allwinner Cortexâ„¢-A8
1GB DDR3 RAM
Built-in 8GB internal memory
Expandable up to 32GB via microSD
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Built-in Microphone
3.5mm Headphone Jack & Built-in Speaker
High Speed HDMI, type C (mini), Supports 1080P and 720P
USB 2.0
Front Facing VGA 0.3MP
Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich
Dimension: 243.84 x 187.96 x 11.18mm

The Coby Kyros MID9742 sells for Php8,789 at Lazada which is Php3,600+ more expensive than its smaller sibling. Truth be told, we don’t think that the price difference isn’t worth it, but if you like what you saw with the MID8042 and you have cash to spare for a bigger screen and storage then go for this tablet.

    I have one and I’m telling you that it’s not good. pinagtyatyagaan ko nalang and using sometimes as an internet tablet. ok siya as internet tablet but not as a tablet itself. ANG BAGAL! yung feeling na you’re not satisfied with it and you wanna throw it away. sayang pera, nakakapagsisi. #honest opinion
