La Acer Iconia A110 It is one of the most interesting 7-inch models that have yet to reach the European market. In the United States and Canada, the equipment went on sale at the end of October this year and it should not be long before it lands here, which we are looking forward to happening, if possible before Christmas, because it can be an interesting rival for Nexus 7, Kindle Fire HD y iPad mini. We review its features and show its performance in benchmarks.
Acer Iconia Tab A110 It is one of the teams that we look forward to with the most enthusiasm of all that are yet to arrive in Spain. This tablet has many similarities with Nexus 7: Your processor is a Integra 3 quad-core operating at 1,2 GHz and in the benchmarks it has obtained very similar results, even somewhat superior in theory, to those of the tablet of Google y Asus. So all the games you collect TegraZone optimized for Nvidia Tegra 3 devices will work perfectly in the Iconia A110. More matches are found in size (7 inches) and price (close to $ 200).
In other respects, however, the team of Acer succumbs to the most popular tablets in its range. Its screen resolution (1024 × 600, 170 pixels per inch) is noticeably lower than that of the Nexus or that of Kindle (1280 × 800, 216 dpi), not so that of the iPad mini (1024 × 768, but on a screen almost an inch larger which ends up being 168 dpi). The storage capacity, in principle, is also somewhat lower, only 8GB, but it has a slot microSD to expand the memory to 32GB, a quality that will delight many users.
In terms of design, the tablet Acer presents a great resemblance to Kindle Fire HD for its thick frames. Although its appearance seems somewhat rougher than that of Nexus 7, many will find it more robust. It weighs 370 grams a little more than the Google tablet (340 g.) And a little less than the Google tablet. Amazon (395 g.), Although it is somewhat thicker than the previous two. Its full measurements are: 19,6 cm x 12,6 cm x 11,4 mm.
The problem is that its delay in reaching Europe makes the possibilities of standing up to the Nexus 7 get smaller and smaller. Right at the time of its release I had the latest version of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and 8GB of storage out of the box, making it a tough rival for the Google at that time, by being sold for a similar price. Nevertheless, Nexus 7 now run Android 4.2.1 and its most basic model offers 16GB of memory (although without the possibility of expansion). The team of Acer It can be imported, but that is an unappetizing extra expense.
We will be attentive while waiting for its commercialization in Spain, and we hope it does not delay too much.
