Acer Iconia A1-830 Android tablet review and setup
Tags :Acer Iconia Tablet Android
The Acer Iconia A1-830 Android tablet proved to be a great entry tablet for everyone during our testing and now continued use. If you are looking for an alternative to the standard iOS tablets, the Acer Iconia A1-830 Android tablet is a great choice.
With a processor upgrade over the 810 model, it moves quick even with numerous applications open in the background thanks to the 1.6 GHz. The ports on the device were all readily accessible and even labeled. Which is non-existent in most other devices. They just presume you know what each port or button does around the outside.
The built in storage of 16GB should handle all of your application needs. The bonus is the microSD card slot that takes of to 32GB cards for added storage for movies, pictures and larger application files. The Android 4.2 Jelly Bean is a stable release and we had no crashes during testing.
The front camera of the Acer Iconia A1-830 Android tablet is only 2MP so you definitely need some lighting to use it, but the back camera was decent at 5MP. That helped keep the price point down I imagine since most Android phones now have 8MP cameras on the back.
The 1024x768 resolution on the screen was acceptable. With a 7" tablet can you really see HD quality and different than SD? For most people this is meant to be a functional and reasonably proved device. Yet you do get over 7 hours of battery life playing movies. The edges of the screen were clear and didn't have the haze or ripple as they call it. I was able to see everything with good clarity at some nice angles. You just don't use or watch it like that often enough to matter.
Finally the sizing of the Acer Iconia A1-830 Android tablet was decent. too big for a pants pocket or most inner jacket pockets for sure. But it fit well in your hand and was quite light. The metal back cover gives it a sturdy feel and also a sleek look.
This is a great buy for a tablet and I hope it keeps up in the performance I saw in the weeks of testing. That is why I wanted to post this and get some real testing time into it first.
