Tablet Acer Iconia tab. Review and testing of the Acer Iconia Tab A701 tablet. Available from wired interface

, “Iconia” will remain with this part of tablet computers, the manufacturers of which have not completely copied the design of the iPad. The dark pictures, of course, are: for example, a black frame, covered with the same transparent sheet as the display. And yet, in the Iconia Tab A500 there is no originality - unlike many other tablets.

On the front side there is total minimalism: there are no physical buttons in the Acer Iconia Tab A500, only virtual ones. Here you can see it at the small end of the camera. And also completely miniature - in the photograph you can’t see it at all - the eye of the lightness sensor.

And, obviously, there is a display right there - perhaps the most powerful feature of this tablet computer. With a diagonal of 10 inches in a building of 1280x800 - a pixel at least an eye, the picture looks smooth. I was also pleased with the brightness, contrast and beauty: the image is clearly visible under any reasonable skin. As it seems in Acer, they have a Vicoristan RK matrix of the MVA type. Judging by the high quality of the image, it is entirely similar to those.

The rear part of the Viconan extension is made of gray metal with the effect of rough grinding. Small inserts on the front panel - above and below the display - are made from a new one. This, however, is surrounded by details, and not by a cleverly curved single sheet of metal.

In general, the body of the panels is neatly assembled, the panels are well-fitted, so the Iconia Tab A500 feels comfortable in the hands. However, the large number of parts on the unit makes it clear - when twisted, the case still creaks slightly.

There are two speakers in the Iconia Tab A500, located on the rear panel. Their sound volume is high - on par with an average laptop. It’s especially difficult to worry about those that can be blocked with your fingers or knees - in which case the “forward” stinks begin to sound louder.

There is another camera on the back panel. The lens is a little larger, lower at the front, but also small. A large decorative adhesion around the crown may be responsible for enhancing the steepness of the 5-megapixel matrix.

The coolness, however, is also obvious: the photographs appear, apparently, in reality. It would have been possible to get by with a smaller “megapixel” camera. Otherwise, it’s hard to accept that the owner of the tablet won’t stumble under the hand of a camera, but would like to use a phone (and in mobile phones, you can put less damn cameras).

The tablet is thin, but without going overboard, so that a large number of brown elements can be accommodated on its side edges. The stench is evenly distributed on different sides, so you can add it manually. On the right side there is a power button, headphone output and digital video output - unfortunately, this is due to the exotic Micro HDMI format. It’s an even greater pity that no suitable cable was found in the kit.

The following USB ports are included: a multi-size USB-host, which allows you to connect flash drives, and a Micro USB-slave, which allows you to connect to a computer. Here you can also see the discard button and enter new life.

There are unknown connectors on the lower body: it can be assumed that this is not intended for connecting a docking station.

There is a dial button at the top, which helps to regulate the loudness of the sound. Behind it is a miniature slider that fixes the display orientation.

Behind a small plastic door there is a device for reading Micro SD memory cards. Most importantly, the new version with a 3G module will be available for a SIM card connector.

Despite the fact that the Iconia Tab A500 has a display with the same diagonal values ​​as the Archos A101, the Acer tablet is significantly larger: about a centimeter wider and taller for the same size. Why so? First of all, in Archos they used a matrix with 16:9 aspect ratio, and in “Iconia” the screen was 16:10. In other words, the frame here is noticeably wider.

What is more unacceptable is that the tablet is not too light: its weight is 760 grams. Due to the “wide-format” shape of the body, it is very important that if you trim it with one hand, the “support” hand will quickly shut up. Obviously, there are no problems with gripping with both hands, except that it’s impossible to work with the keyboard: the screen is too wide so that your fingers can reach the center without breaking your hand.

There is no built-in stand here, but Acer’s additional accessory provides a stand case - however, without magnets and other wonders of technology.

Call Acer for more savings on packaging, which is entirely reasonable. At this point, however, the box looks expensive - it’s clearly been insured for gifts.

The packaging, however, is minimalist: in addition to a large amount of absolutely waste paper, in the box you can also find a charging device, a Micro USB cable and a microfiber cloth for the inevitable cleaning of the glossy display.

The complete life block has some shortcomings: the length of the wire is only one meter. Considering that the sockets are designed to be installed low, which allows a maximum of 70 centimeters to go out from the wall. So, it’s not easy for the “icons” to get dirty during the charging hour. This can be especially problematic when staying in hotels: hotel designers should place sockets not in places where they are handy, but in quiet places where the stench is not noticeable. Under the bedside table or behind the mini-bar.

The block of life for the great subdivision: on the right in the fact that yogo tension is high, 18 W

The wake-up tablet is based on the NVIDIA Tegra 2 platform and operates under the Android 3.0 aka Honeycomb operating system. The storage capacity is 32 GB - plus, obviously, the ability to use Micro SD cards.

In addition to the already mentioned light sensor, the device has a rotary sensor and a GPS module. Droneless connectivity features include Bluetooth 2.1 and Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n. The version with a 3G module is not yet available, but Acer says that everything will be smooth.

Compared to earlier, “phone” editions of Android, the “tablet” version of Honeycomb works better. And it looks more neat. It is possible that the tablet “robot” has not yet reached ideal handiness. If you have to throw out the device at the end, as it appeared when you downloaded it from a phone OS on a tablet and, what’s more, on a Smartbook, it doesn’t matter anymore. The right road, so to speak.

Curiosities of adaptation/localization are still becoming more intense, but not to the same extent as before.

“Don’t connect” or “squeeze”. Why vibrate? ..

Thanks to “TEGRA”, on your tablet computer you can play games that paint a trivial picture - if you want to experience these beauties that have so far played on PCs and game consoles, it’s definitely not worth it. Hire, bye bye.

However, most of the time, choose a popular game that can successfully make do with a 2D engine, making it easier to waste system resources on advanced physics. And in this case, and in other cases, everything works to finish.

Evil birds will stare at you as if they were a potential victim.

With minimal brightness, the Iconia Tab A500 can be used in web surfing mode for up to 8 years - so the batteries can be drained for the entire working day or, if possible, for a transatlantic flight.

If you turn the switch to maximum, the hour will be shortened to 4.5 years. At the same time, at a minimum level of illumination, ensure that the screen is bright enough for work in the room. “Adequate” in the most direct sense, the need to add rhubarb to the candle simply does not apply. So in this situation, Varto’s orientation is still at the forefront of importance.

⇡ Visnovki

We are in agreement with what the manufacturers of tablet computers taught us in the past, but this time forward. A clear display, an easy-to-use interface and normal fluidity of the robotic system - the same Archos 101 has not been worn out. In addition, the Acer Iconia Tab A500 is the first tablet in the Russian market for which they ask for an adequate amount.

If you compare the device with a popular product from a popular fruit company, there are advantages. At a minimum, it is possible to work normally with files without violating the BDSM attraction called iTunes. And you can do it completely without a computer - thanks to a full-fledged USB port and a memory card reader. Perhaps, in this way, everything begins to feel sense.

Even though they loved the tablets as a class, even if they didn’t accept the product, the manufacturers will continue to put effort and effort into them. We are testing a new icon of the industry, the Iconia Tab 10 model from ACER. The main emphasis of the new product is on the multimedia warehouse, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

A look at the ACER Iconia Tab 10 A3-A40 tablet. Multimedia combine

Tablets can be placed differently: however, they can be used to work in conjunction with the keyboard and other peripherals, otherwise such a tandem is unlikely to replace a laptop, in which a laptop, like a multimedia processor, is less mobile Larger, and the touch screen will inevitably cause an increase in Vartosti. ACER Iconia Tab 10 in this case does not work with laptops, despite the fact that as a multimedia combine, it has every chance of winning the recognition of computer users. Who else is playing in this market?

The Iconia Tab 10 package is standard: in addition to the tablet itself and the charging unit in a black matte box, you can find the manufacturer's warranty, a warranty card and a simple plastic stand.

External look

The shape of the body of the new product is non-standard: although formally it is a candy bar, then due to the combination of chimeric beveled edges that create a trapezoid in the webbing and the mesh corrugation of the rear panel, the tablet looks like a lot of Android devices.

The dimensions of the screen are diagonal, although the frame of the display is not very thin, and the speakers on the sides add to the dimensions. Vaga is more likely to be in the middle and on the right here, including in the materials.

The front panel is mainly represented by a thin glass that covers the display and the frame around it. The hardness rib is made of soft-touch plastic and the contour easily transitions into the front panel, where the speaker meshes and corrugated keys are inserted: thickness - evil and “MediaMaster” (switching of sound modes) - on the right.

The back panel is made of mostly matte plastic with corrugations that look like a fine mesh.

The design elements are minimalist and in addition to what was said earlier, the operator’s logo is present on the front panel, below the display, as well as the front camera and the work indicator above it (the indicator is invisible when inactive).

On the top end there is a lock/hook key, a microphone and a micro-HDMI connector, covered with a cover. It is also an element of the rear panel: a console made of plastic, stylized as rusty metal, houses a stylish camera with the inscription Iconia, as well as the cover of the described socket.

The back panel contains all the functional elements that do not include the ACER logo or service symbols on the stickers.

The right and bottom ends have more elements, and the left has a 3.5 mm audio jack and micro-USB for charging and synchronizing the device.

screen

The 10.1-inch screen of the tablet uses IPS technology and has a resolution of 1920x1200 pixels. The brightness of the picture is bad, but not ideal: the colors are natural, which is sufficient to look at, the sharpness in small images and fonts is easily accepted.

The sensor is flexible, supports up to ten one-hour ticks and is very easy to input commands and text. When you receive direct sleep changes, the screen turns bright and does not help to set the maximum illumination level.

Software and interface

On board Iconia Tab there are 10 installations of Android version 6.0 without any additional ones.

The lock screen is minimalist: the anniversary, date, row will appear in the upper right corner and notifications will appear.

Work tables without circular scrolling can be covered with trellises, as well as filled with widgets, shortcuts and folders.

The bottom row of the screen is given to configure the “dock”, which is the “red thread” on all desktops, and the top rows, when scrolled, provide access to the notification matrix and the launch of modules.

The main menu is matrix and manual: the top rows are searches and a list of remaining running applications, and then there is a list of shortcuts.

The menu is set up in the main text, but when viewed on smartphones, it is divided into two columns, which, given the in-line size and layout of the screen, is logical.

In the basic installation, in addition to the standard operating system add-ons in general and Google in general, you will find: a file manager, access to the ACER portal, EZ utilities, eBay and Pocket add-ons, and Kids Center.

It remains especially useful: on one side there is Father’s control, and on the other side there are challenges for children, including the ability to draw on the screen with an ordinary mouse/pen.

Hardware security and productivity

The “heart” of the new product is a 4-core processor from MediaTek, and the “heart” is 2 gigabytes of RAM and 32 flash memory (extended flash for additional MicroSD is not transferred). The device is suitable for operation with a basic set of functions - there is no power until the start-up and installation of standard add-ons.

“Important” games and videos no longer run so hot on the Iconia Tab 10, but in general, since they don’t get cold, they can be handled comfortably.

Our words are also confirmed by the tests that we traditionally run on a follow-up device.

Camera

The cameras are NOT the conic of a tablet: regardless of those, they are mainly equipped with autofocus, they have a separate size of 5 megapixels, and the front one has only 2.

There are also not a lot of program settings, although the main ones are: geotags, parameters, stabilization, light sensitivity and the like.

The shooting speed is consistent: if the tablet focuses smoothly and focuses accurately, then the sharpness of the shots is moderate and not always uniform across the entire field of the frame.

When you click on the thumbnail, a full-size image will appear

In the dark, everything is also not very rosy, as can be seen from the test images, but, as we have already said, the camera in the Iconia Tab 10 is nominal.

battery

The tablet is powered by a small battery with a capacity of 6000 mAg. Looking at the fact that a device of this type is subject to a lot of effort, the capacity is sufficient, although not overwhelming - if you are constantly interested in surfing and watching videos, you can discharge the new product in about 10 years. In addition, we noted self-discharge in the mode ochikuvannya.

pouch

Let's pick up the pouches. ACER Iconia Tab 10 has been deprived of its super-obvious advantages: on the one hand, clear materials and a claim to the premium segment, but with the presence of a 3G module, support for memory cards, weak cameras and It’s time for autonomous robots.

We have not yet been able to formulate the profile of a potential hairdresser: for example, the model is inexpensive, attractive, but not very functional. It transmits viciously crappy services through a small, non-expandable memory, and is not equipped with Wi-Fi. The children's block is generally good, but the appearance clearly does not match it: buying such a tablet for a child is a difficult decision, in our opinion.

    I’m cringing more than fate, so I’ll be objective: The first and main bug of Acer’s idea is the charger. Not only is it special, but others simply don’t charge, or rather the charge only goes on in a dark state, and it’s also important to stop charging. Maybe I wasn’t so spared, but the first charger broke on its own, the micro USB plug fell out, they didn’t recognize the warranty issue, and my friend flew off, because the girl got hooked on something and pulled it out. As a result, the phone is already charging twice, but both plugs are broken - “that”. The battery, the first half of the good, through the river capacity of the battery, fell into the third.

The Acer company will, if it wants, produce inexpensive and at the same time very clear electronics. The line of Iconia Tab tablets comes with such products - with terrible prices and exorbitant prices. True, Acer tablets have never been particularly popular, not least because of poor marketing.

27 linden, as you know, the head of the sport will spring up - the Olympic Games. Why not get some great publicity? Official Olympic smartphones and tablets, sponsors and partners, philanthropists and patrons... Come along "Title" The brand often appeared on TV in stories about the Olympics, and the famous five rings could be attached to the logo or trademark.

Olympic symbols are not spared from the box of the Acer Iconia Tab 510 and from the body of the tablet. Virobnik diligently emphasizes his credit to Igor. If your tablet will last until the Olympics and if the Igor symbol will help increase sales of devices in the Iconia Tab line, we will try to follow this review.

External look

The Iconia Tab 510 does not represent anything noticeable: a basic rectangular design with smooth lines, thin (less than 11 mm), very strict, and without any silvery inserts, like the smaller Iconia Tab 500. I want to see what the materials are prepared for I was pleased with the annex. Thanks to the textured plastic body, the tablet is easy to take on the tablet. The material is springy, slightly soft, and does not lose marks on the new one, like the lining of the fingers. Perhaps, at least one of the most practical design options for the body of all tablets.


The controls are traditional for Android tablets. At the top end there is a double volume adjustment button and a key for blocking, on the other side there is a power key and a 3.5 mm audio jack, on the right side there is a microHDMI port and a plug for microSD memory cards. Below there are a pair of speakers, a microUSB port and a reset button. The tablet comes with an adapter for a standard USB connector, so you can connect an original flash drive.


On the back panel you can see the 5-megapixel camera, but what attracts attention is not the wine, but the logo of the manufacturer and the Olympic rings. Below is an indication of Dolby Digital Plus technology. Needless to say, the sound on the tablet is particularly clear. It is truly incompetent, on par with competitors, but nothing more.


There is nothing noticeable on the front panel. The center of the display here is the front camera and a number of logos - Acer and Iconia Tab.


The device should be around 700 g. This is not critical for a model with a 10-inch display, but tablets are still lighter. The same one, for example, is lighter than the mayge at 120 m. Nachebto rіznitsa is not a matter of fact, but let you know about yourself even after 10 weeks of work with the Iconia Tab 510.


The assembly of the Taiwanese tablet is wonderful: there is nothing to creak or hitch, all the parts are perfectly matched one to one, the single cover fits snugly, the buttons fit reliably in the corners and are pressed tightly, but do not cause any discomfort. It is clear that Acer has given a lot of respect to such devices. Without further ado, folding models are on a par with the top-end products of most famous Android tablet manufacturers, and even better.

Display and camera

The Iconia Tab 510 has a standard 10.1 "LCD matrix with separate 1280 × 800 pixels. The display cannot be called a video display. However, it is not a cheap Chinese screen. Similar panels are installed in larger There are tablets of the middle level, with what a stink They sacrifice IPS displays with wider viewing angles and high contrast.

If you don’t compare the screen with more expensive models, there are no special complaints. The colors lightly bloom under even a large hairstyle, in general, brightness and contrast are available for all everyday tasks, the color rendering is close to natural, pixelation at this resolution is noticeable even at close proximity before your eyes - no one will be so amazed at the tablet display.


The model has a 5-megapixel camera with autofocus, but without a camera. Taking pictures with a tablet is a lot of fun. Perhaps manufacturers are in no hurry to install bright photomodules in such devices. The Iconia Tab 510 tablet in this sense is not a culprit. In most cases, the pictures come out blurry and blurry. Most normal photography can be taken on the street with good ambient lighting, but in this situation it is not possible to look for special miracles.


Interface, functionality

The device operates under Android 4.0.3 controls with the proprietary Touch Ring interface. Retailers have used the ring as a control element already on the lock screen: by touching the pin, you can unlock the tablet by sticking your finger to the right, or immediately launch one of four add-ons (which programs will be, you can select it yourself in the settings menu uvan).


In addition to the standard virtual buttons for Ice Cream Sandwich, there is a green dot in the center of the system panel. Pressing on it clicks around with the shortcuts of the most required additions, the search button in the center and the step to change the thickness. Once again, you can figure out the program requirements for your Swedish blog yourself. The most effective look in such a radial menu is the browser, or more precisely, its bookmarks, which can be easily accessed.


There is little difference in the other interface "Naked" Android 4.0: control buttons "Back", "Dodom"і "Rich task" in the lower left corner, system information from the notification panel is in the lower right, search buttons and access to the main menu are at the top.


Acer skimped on the installation of proprietary and third-party add-ons and did the right thing. However, hobbyists rarely have to choose a programmer, and they can even create a list of required programs from Google Play.


Acer praised that buyers of the Iconia Tab 510 cannot do without the Astro file manager, the Aupeo online radio service, the Polaris Office office suite, the annoying McAfee antivirus and the music track recognition service. In addition, the tablet uses the clear.fi proprietary program for sharing content via DLNA and the Acer Print add-on for uploading to a printer using Wi-Fi or USB.

Productivity and battery

In addition to its predecessor, the Iconia Tab 500, the new product is based on a chipset. This means that the tablet has several computing cores that operate at frequencies up to 1.3 GHz, and one additional one is loaded with incredible additions or for working in the background. The device also has 1 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage. We remember that the storage can be expanded using an additional microSD card.


We have already been converted many times on tablets and smartphones, but Nvidia Tegra 3 miraculously copes with the demands of both the Android OS itself and the most powerful add-ons. In most tests, the Iconia Tab 510 showed results identical or even close to those of the Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime model, which is based on the same platform. I just feel like in the Quadrant benchmark the new product has seriously stood out as a competitor. However, the productivity of the tablet in real minds cannot be predicted: tell us yourself "Important" Go to the Tegra Zone section without any problems.


The Iconia Tab 510 model is equipped with a battery with a capacity of 9800 mAg, one charge of which provides 8 and a half years of Full HD video playback with connected wireless modules and maximum screen backlight level. The result is approximately on par with the same Transformer Prime without a docking station.


Please note that we tested a tablet model with Bluetooth 2.1 and Wi-Fi modules, but the sale also includes a modification with a 3G modem - Iconia Tab 511.

Please note that while looking at the Acer Iconia Tab 510 about the Olympic symbols, I had a chance to guess everything once - in the section dedicated to the external appearance. All that distinguishes the device from summer games is the prominent logos on the box and body of the tablet. There are no additional accessories, nor would there be one thematic add-on in the Iconia Tab 510. In fact, all "Olympic" The tablet is based on the fact that the distributor intends to inform the correspondents about its sponsorship by Igor. What is this fact about only the richest buyers?

Otherwise, the Iconia Tab 510 tablet copes with the threat. Today's best hardware platform, poor screen, simple but not intrusive shell for the OS, receiving materials and high build capacity.

The Iconia Tab 510 has two main competitors among Android tablets - Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 and Asus Transformer Pad TF300T (almost the same Transformer Prime, only in a plastic case). Porivnyano from "Korean" The Acer device wins for the power of production and hours of autonomous work, and for the same price, the Galaxy Tab 2 offers a 3G module (although you will have to settle for less than 16 GB of memory). The Transformer Pad tablet costs more, but it boasts an IPS matrix, an 8-megapixel camera and the ability to connect a docking station to the keyboard with an additional battery.
Dzherelo information:

A tablet computer is also in the same room, since if it is in the skin you can see the system unit with the monitor. Tablets managed to take over a larger share of the market, since no one needs large and loud machines if the bulk of their needs are covered by much more compact devices.

At the same time, like computers, tablets have quickly lost popularity, they no longer inspire hoarding and are bought like consumer gadgets (watch a movie night or spend time with a child). In connection with these roads and devices inserted onto the iPad, the grip gradually loosens. Most of them are budget devices. I’ll talk about one of these tablets in this review - Acer Iconia Tab A1 811.

Equipment

Near the box at the back of the device, besides the gadget itself, there is a small brochure. In fact, the instructions are not suitable for those who have never used such gadgets, and they are unlikely to be of any use.

The kit also includes: a charging device (a unit for connecting to power supply) and a USB cable (for charging and synchronization with a computer).

Unfortunately, the box did not contain any covers, headphones, or other accessories.

Fortunately, all this goodness is easy to find in Merezhi. The tablet has become popular in its day, and the Chinese have riveted a lot of accessories that are suitable for it. Withered, dry spittle, all sorts of coasters, styluses - in the dark, everything that pleases the soul.

Design for an extension

Dimensions: 209 x 147 x 11 millimeters.

The Acer Iconia Tab A1 811 tablet has a classic design. The case is made of premium “soft-touch” plastic. The body is not too strong, it is flexible to the point of being rough, and it is easy to play.

The gadget appears to be about 12 millimeters, and its capacity is 430 grams, which is not good for a device of such dimensions. The frames around the display are a little pink, the stench is too massive in comparison with what they heard from the majority of modern devices. The same iPad mini looks much more compact. In this case, the frames resist the pressure and positively fit into the grip, so the tablet lies more comfortably in your hands.

I'll add a display

The front panel of the Acer Iconia Tab A1 811 tablet has a 7.9-inch diagonal display panel. The display is not affected by high luminosity, regardless of the fact that the IPS matrix is ​​used. The image is not calibrated, suffers greatly from color transfer, does not reflect and is capable of displaying only 1024 x 768 pixels (dots per inch - 160).

The display is covered with a glossy glass, which is in no way protected from glare (on a bright sunny day, you can look at the device at the same time as unoccupied tasks, not even about direct sleepy changes).

The touchscreen of the 811 cannot be called “wooden”, but at the same time, its positioning often wanders, it reacts with a delay or does not respond at all, which is especially noticeable when typing text and in games. Reduces clutter on the display panel and makes it easy to remove fingertips.

Productivity and device memory

I will attach my heart to the famous Chinese chip from MediaTek - MT8389. The processor operates with four cores, two of which are productive, used in games and complex programs, and the other two are energy efficient, used in light applications and in cooldown mode. The processor clock speed reaches up to 1200 megahertz.

Also hidden under the cover of the gadget are 1 gigabyte of RAM and 8 gigabytes of main memory (for the Acer Iconia Tab A1 811 8gb version). A large part of the main memory is occupied by the operating system, fortunately the situation is smoothed out by the presence of memory cards in the MicroSDHC format with a capacity of up to 32 gigabytes. It is important to note that version 4 of Android does not yet support memory cards, so you can only save documents, photos, music on it, but you cannot install security programs.

For graphics processing, the PowerVR SGX554 excels, having proven itself highly recommended in premium devices such as the iPhone.

Productivity, in general, may be sufficient for most simple tasks. It is not possible to play foldable games on your tablet, it will either not start at all, or will run with extremely low frame rates and occasional freezes. Such a small amount of RAM largely stores important programs, which means that every time they are started again (this process takes time, so the tablet will work even more).

autonomy of the annex

The Acer Iconia Tab A1 811 3g is equipped with a modest battery. The battery capacity is more than 4960 milliamperes/year, which can provide no more than 7 years of work (at average power).

Hours of work will still depend on how the gadget is being tested, the coverage of the network (as the mobile module is being tested), the running of applications, and the use of geolocation services (GPS).

Capture volume

The camera is far from the most important aspect in a tablet computer, and relying on luxurious photographs has no sense whatsoever. Acer Iconia Tab A1 811 has two cameras installed. The main (front) with a separate part is 5 megapixels and the secondary (front) with a separate part is 0.3 megapixels. Cameras will soon be reduced to a utilitarian function.

The head camera can take a photo for a notebook or a scan of a document. The front camera is suitable for video calls (Selfie lovers will have nothing to do with it). Daily autofocus. For whatever reason, the developers decided not to add such a function, which would significantly degrade the performance and severely damage the vicinity of the camera.

Operating system

The entire line, including the Acer Iconia Tab 811 and others, is based on the 4th generation of Android, named after KitKat chocolate bars. As of today, the platform is outdated and therefore comes with more recent versions. Some add-ons (both standard ones and those sold in the Play Store) are not supported, but supported versions can be downloaded on the Internet and from other repositories.

This version of the software has created a serious hit in terms of productivity, which allows the tablet to run smoothly and smoothly, regardless of the tightness under the hood. Another important point is the adaptation of the interface for large displays. Also in this version the energy consumption is significantly reduced, which has a positive effect on the operating hours of the device.

The system has a set of installed “software” from Google, as well as from partners. First, we can’t help but be pleased that Google’s security program is full of flavor and delights with its functionality. Others will be very bored, since third-party, installed “software” takes up little space and rarely appears brown (as you know, most of it is a demo version of low-grade games).

Available from wired interface

The device apparently has a number of standard drone-free interfaces. These include: Wi-Fi 802.11n, Bluetooth version 4.0, as well as support for mobile networks to the 3G standard. Unfortunately, the tablet does not work with 4th generation networks (LTE), which may be a major factor for the rich due to the large difference in speed between 3rd and 4th generation networks.

Another important feature of the device is microHDMI support, which significantly expands the multimedia capabilities of this subject. It is possible to seamlessly transfer images from the tablet to a TV or display with HDMI support.

If an OTG cable is available, you can connect all peripherals to the tablet. For example, if you like to type text on a full-format physical keyboard, you can easily connect it to this tablet. The same goes for gamepads, they also work great with this model.

Acer Iconia Tab A1 811: vidguki

The main advantage of the device is the price. Customers should evaluate the tablet based on their own judgment, in order to make the evaluation less objective.

The advantages of the device include a properly functioning GPS, as many homeowners are looking for similar gadgets as a replacement for navigation devices.

It’s appropriate for a rich person to use a tablet as a phone. You can effectively receive calls and send SMS for even more functionality.

Positively talk about the battery, which is designed to last a day at work (it’s crazy that everything should be kept in the hands of a specific customer, otherwise the fact is lost to the fact).

There were some problems with the gadget, such as a weak Wi-Fi signal and mobile networks. Compared to similar devices, the Acer Iconia Tab A1 811 has significantly worse tension, often losing it completely.

Well, the common problem for everyone is that the camera is weak and cannot take more than a few decent photographs.

Another serious problem is that there is a large batch of tablets with broken food controllers that protect the battery (discharging them to zero, without the ability to charge them on their own).

Some merchants were allowed to connect a USB modem with a SIM card to their tablet.

However, for this device, it is not at all important to find spare parts, including the display. Bilshu part of the sprocket in one breakdown is easily tagged in the іnthertinni -deputy deputy (ascended the robot to carry out the deprivation of the vibrant, in the ilnsho vipage of the skeleton to the professional).

prices

The gadget is included in the category of budget devices, so I am pleased with its versatility. The tablet can be purchased for less than 8 thousand rubles. The remaining price in the Zvyazkovy store for Acer Iconia Tab A1 811 8gb 3G has increased to 6,250 rubles.

replace the back

This product from Acer appears to be absolutely unostentatious and not boring, but is a good home tablet, a tool for completing everyday tasks and does not have to be too complicated. The company voted on the evidence assigned to the correspondent for the largest possible audience and accessibility to the device.

In essence, this is an ideal device for those who want to own a tablet computer, use it for work or beginners, or have a modest budget.
