Acer has let us see the Technical specifications of the second generation of their compact Android tablets. The Iconia A1-830 and Iconia B1-720 They will significantly improve the performance of their predecessors and will compete in a market really complicated by the immensity of the offer using really low prices.
Iconia A1-830
This tablet will have a screen of 7,9 inch with IPS panel and a 1600 x 1200 pixel resolution. Its 4: 3 aspect ratio is reminiscent of Apple tablets. Inside it will have a chip Intel Atom Clover Trail 1,6 GHz dual-core, accompanied by 1 GB of RAM. This means that we will have a more proprietary processor from early last year but that some devices still in stores continue to use. Without going any further, the Galaxy Tab 3 10.1. Will run 4.2.1 Android Jelly Bean, again, not the newest.
You will have two storage options of 16 Gb and 32 Gb expandable by micro SD. It will have two cameras: 720p front and 1080p rear. Its autonomy will be 7,5 hours.
Its price will start at 169 euros and it will begin to be sold before March.
This team will have two official accessories. These are two really fine covers, one of them with a keyboard.
Iconia B1-720
Acer has not yet revealed the screen resolution of this 7-inch tablet, which cannot be considered a good sign. Inside it will have a processor dual core 1,3 GHz which he has not seen fit to identify either. It will be accompanied by 1 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage expandable another 32 GB by microSD. It will only have a front camera.
It will be sold for 129 euros in its WiFi-only version and for 179 euros in its 3G version, called Iconia B1 / 721. It is expected to be in stores before the end of January.
In short, two low-end Android tables with really competitive prices, but that in terms of performance leave a lot to be desired, especially in the case of the B1.
