    Coming to the camera there is a 5-megapixel digital camera with LED flash and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera. Under the hood, we have the quad-core processor coupled at 2.0 GHz with 3 GB RAM and 64 GB inbuilt storage which can be expanded by pumping another 64 GB via micro SD card.

    The Sky Pad 8 Pro is priced at $179.99 and available in-store from Walmart, and Best Buy or you can shop online on Amazon, eBay, and other e-retailers.
