An 8MP primary rear camera with LED Flash and 2MP Front for its optical features. Accordingly it is a Dual-Sim device so it has Phone and Messaging Functionality.

Miracast is supported for projecting wireless to an external display. My only concern is for its size, the 3300mAh might be a little underwhelming but it sure depends on usage besides you can opt for a powerbank.

For 8,999.00, a Tablet with Phone Functions as well as with Octa-Core Processor is sure is a steal. With addition of 2 RAM and high pixel Dual Cameras, Superior Frontier will be hard to resist and will attract more power hungry consumers.
