The French company Archos wants take a qualitative leap as a manufacturer of tablets, and for this they have just announced the Diamond Tab, a device with which they seek to meet new objectives. Known for lower-mid-range models that typically sought a balance between specs and price, Archos has revealed the features of what they consider to be a true flagship for the brand, though its presentation will take place during the next IFA fair which will take place next week in Berlin.
Presenting it as one of the reference devices in its catalog and naming it "diamond" already gives us an idea of the work and hopes that the company from the neighboring country has placed in this tablet. Based on the information contained in the press release, it appears that its development has been based on four pillars: connectivity, graphic capacity, a good screen and the latest version of Google software. With these four elements we can compose an interesting starting team, but we are going to analyze the rest of the details.
Archos Diamond Tab
We start with the visual, the French firm does not usually disappoint with its designs although it is true that originality is often conspicuous by its absence. The Archos 80 Cesium It is an example of how their designs tend to drink a lot from the ideas that flow from Cupertino, and this Archos Diamond Tab is no exception. Its dimensions are 202 x 134 x 7,8 millimeters and a weight of 360 grams, figures that we could call correct without further ado.
Your screen is 7,9 inchesIt is no coincidence that it coincides with the size that characterizes the iPad mini, and this year it makes more sense than ever after the disappointment of the iPad mini 3 and the doubts that are being generated about the fourth and possibly last generation of this range of Manzana. The resolution, 2048 x 1536 pixels, so that according to them "all the details will be seen clearly" something related to the name they have chosen for the tablet.
Under the lid we find a processor Mediatek MT8752 Octa-Core at frequencies of 1.7 GHz, accompanied by a RAM with 3 GB and 32 GB of internal storage with the possibility of expanding it using microSD cards. A combination that they hope will be enough for users to enjoy the multitude of high-quality tablet games that are being published lately on Google Play. Although it is not a reference chip, the truth is that it will be able to with most applications that require a certain power.
Another aspect to highlight is that of connectivity. Archos has already shown this year that it cares about this aspect with the Archos Helium range, composed of three basic models with support for networks LTE 4G, something that could not be missing in the Diamond Tab. In addition, it includes WiFi a / b / g / n Dual Band and Bluetooth 4.0. It has two cameras 5 and 2 megapixels respectively, a 4.800 mAh battery and Android 5.1 Lollipop, Latest version of Google's operating system that includes all its tools.
