The Philippines proves to be a profitable market for Kata, as the Hong Kong-based manufacturer is releasing yet another device a few days from now: the Kata FishTab 3. It’s the third tablet for the company to be released in our country and touts a significant bump in terms of specs over its predecessors.
Just how better is the Kata FishTab 3 than the previous versions? To start with, its powerful quad-core Rockchip processor runs at a decent performance and efficiency, something that can’t normally be found in other budget-friendly tablets. Users can expect graphics rendering to go smoothly on the 7.9-inch IPS multi-touch display, with visuals able to remain their clarity and vividness even at extreme viewing angles.
Kata FishTab 3 Specs
- Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean
- 7.9-inch IPS touchscreen display (1024×768), ~162ppi
- 1.8GHz quad-core Rockchip 3188 processor
- 2GB RAM
- 8GB internal storage
- microSD expansion up to 64GB
- 5-megapixel main camera, with autofocus
- 2-megapixel front camera
- WiFi, 3G via adapter
- Dimensions: 201.7 x 136.3 x 8.4 mm
- Weight: 345g
- Li-Po 4400mAh battery
Yet another attractive perk of the FishTab 3 is its back that’s polished with metallic silver. Again, one can’t easily find a similar design like this in other low-cost devices. The tablet’s light weight and build also make it quite comfortable to hold over extended periods of use. Moreover, some retailers like the Owtel Shop are bundling a leather case and screen protector when buyers purchase the tablet in any of their outlets. Other items included in the packaging are the microUSB cable, a USB power adapter, and the manual or quick guide pamphlet.
If you’re looking for any shortcoming in the Kata FishTab 3, know that the screen resolution uses the older 4:3 aspect ratio instead of the more popular widescreen formats. The pixel density is also far from Retina levels, which means text and images lose their smooth appearance as you look closer into the screen.
With an expected retail price of Php10,999, the Kata FishTab 3 will become available on August 18 and have its first public unboxing at SM Cyberzone Megamall on that day. You can expect fans of the ichthyo-inspired tablet to be there.
I also bought kata fishtab3 and use it for 2days after that it automatically shuts down.i brought it back sa pioneer and told me they will send it to their customer service for checking…damn its been 10days and the customer service keep on telling me to wait coz their policy is 3weeks!!!its brandnew so it should be replaced immediately..owtel,do u want this to reach dti or any legal entity to revoked ur license?para po sa mga nagrereklamo u cn reach me here and pagsmmasamahin natin ang reklamo…
I have the same experience, at alam mo bang since November 3, 2013 pa yung kata fishtab 3 ko sa kanila?! until now hindi parin binabalik, i’ve been calling their cust service pero wala naman silang magawa, nakalagay sa job order 30 days lang pero ngayon pinagaantay pa ako ng January 18? tapos taga cavite pa ako then nagsirado yung Owtel store nila dito sa Alabang since december 30 tapos sa Robinson Pioneer na branch na daw ako pupunta! sinumbong ko sa DTI, sabi ng DTI they have policies din daw na kailangan hingin ko muna yung replacement kapag daw pati replacement eh damage saka lang ako pwede mag refund, ang nakakabwisit pa yung Service Center nilang hindi ko malaman kung meron nga talaga eh walang address at phone number! AT KAHIT TANUNGIN KO SABI WALA DAW SILANG ADDRESS AT PHONE NUMBER! sabi ko eh san nyo dinadala ang mga nirerepair nyo? sa USA paba yan kaya ganyan katagal?! I swear kapag hindi ko pa to nakuha sa sinasabi nilang January 18 ilalabas ko na to sa TV, I’ll ask help from ABS-CBN, or even GMA, nag matelevise ang kawalang kwenta nilang service… Sana Samsung nalang binili kong tablet, kasi Samsung will never let their customers experience this!!! To anyone who reads my feedback think a million times before dealing with these people, the gadget itself is good and less expensive but if it gets damage and you need to have it repaired due to its warranty then your in for a big surprise!!! yung binayad mo na mura sa tablet it’s like gusto mo nalang magbayad ng mahal na tablet sa kilalang company kesa dito!!!

But and gusto KO talaga is nexus 7 2nd gen.. At nag balik ako para makita ang fishtab I found very worse tama any tawag fishtab ha ha pistingtab tan!

This product is BS!!!! i just got mines today and it already causing
problems and it just froze with a red, black, blue, white lines!!! I
never did anything wrong!!! It just did it by itself!!! It work good for
about 10-12 hours then u will experience problems. I’m contacting the
company to get my money back, but they’re not answering.
My 2 day old fishtab3 has a very big dark spot area (4 inches long and an inch wide) in the middle of the screen this is really obvious when you are reading something on a white background and its even worst when you swipe the screen it gets even darker. I called main office if i could return this to the shop where i purchased it and they said no..wtf!? i haven’t even used the damn thing for more than 5hrs and they’re telling me to go to their owtel service center? im not asking for a refund i just want it replaced. ill be uploading images later..
good job! owtel replaced my defective unit immediately. thanks!
no they take ur money!!! madaya sila mga sira pinapadala nila!!!
Baka sayo lang :)
How did u get it replaced? Mine is still in the service center.. The customer service rep that i spoke with is very rude! Said that i have to wait for 3 weeks to get a feed back!! Wtf! I only used it for 5 days
This specs are ok except there is a missing HDMI port to connect displays to large TV’s or projector (eg. watching HD movies/videos, playing games, presentation), and the touch screen is only 5-point (other competitors has 10-point for playing complex games or applications). But general use, fishtab is ok.
Admin/webmaster, kindly delete my comments, complaints resolved.
Bago ka magreklamo siguraduhin mo muna. I’m using mine pero nabagsak na lahat buo pa din. Ingatan mo kasi bago ka magparatang.
Astig to.! Sabi ko subukan ko lang.sulit namn yung bnayad ko.. :-)
Tga Owtel ka no? Sinungaling! Soz super dami nagrerekamu sa facebook page nyo puro sirang tab. Soli nyo muna ninakaw nyo.
Ayos ka ah kala mo kung sino ka. Ayosin mo ugali mo.
They sold me 6 defective kata minibooks and ran away with P28,000 :(
Bulok yan. Don’t ever waste your time and money for this piece of crap. I should know. I own the T2 and sent it to Owtel Pioneer for repair last July2, until now The unit is still with them. Almost 2 months and still I haven’t retrieved my tab. Almost everyday of calling their customer service and no solid answer.
Good day!
I’ve seen in their official Facebook account that the unboxing event of Kata FishTab
3 will take place in SM City Manila this August 18, 2013(Sunday) at 4pm. On the
said event, they will be giving away the new Kata FishTab 3 through raffle draws.
Also, they will be having a 20% discount promo on Kata FishTab 3 when they purchase it at various Kata kiosks and Owtel shops from 5pm-9pm on the same day.
