The Taiwanese Acer presents a new version of its tablet Iconia Tab 10. While keeping the same concept, the manufacturer offers a significant improvement in performance and image quality.
This new Iconia Tab 10 features a MT8127 processor, with four cores Cortex A7 clocked at 1.5 Ghz against 1.3 for previous versions. RAM on it is doubled to 2 GB, and adopts the format DDR3L SDRAM. Storage space is also doubled from 16 to 32 GB, expandable with MicroSD card. The battery is a 5910 mAh.
Active Matrix TFT Color LCD passes it to a definition of 1280 x 800 pixels (WXGA) to 1920 x 1200 pixels (WUXGA). As the name implies the tablet, it measures 10.1 inches diagonally. It also has an anti-fingerprint technology.
For the rest, this Iconia retains the same characteristics. The front camera has a resolution of 2MP. That of the back camera is not disclosed. The tablet is made of plastic (glossy front, brushed back) available in black or white. Its dimensions are 256.54 mm length, 170.18 mm wide and 10.1 mm thick. It supports Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi 802.11b / g / n.
The embedded software is currently version 4.4 KitKat of Android. An update to Lollipop is probably intended. Acer offers a simple and crude version of Android, slightly cluttered with possible additions.
The new Acer Iconia Tab 10 has already available in the US for less than $ 250 and should arrive in Europe in the near future for a similar price.
