The front of the iBall Slide i701 is entirely blank except for the camera lens above the screen. If not for that, there would have been be no way to know which way was up. We were surprised to note that there is no Windows or Microsoft branding - there isn’t even a capacitive Start button. iBall ships the Slide i701 with a protective scratch guard already applied, and it’s become normal for us to see this done badly leading to bubbles under the surface.
The device’s sole Micro-USB port, which is used for charging, peripherals and storage, can be found on the top along with a Mini-HDMI video output, a 3.5mm audio socket, and a reset button pinhole.
