Of course this must be supported with a high internet network.
The touch screen can also zoom-in as the user desires, as in the tablet in general, with pinching.

For connectivity, the device comes with 3G SIM Card, making it easier for users when Wifi is not affordable. When we tried to use Wifi in some places, quite comfortable for browsing with a speed that supports multimedia access.
