The IFA that is taking place in the German capital during these days, is being the show of force that the largest technology companies in the world face the final stretch of 2016 and with an eye on one of the most important purchase campaigns of the year . Asian companies are presenting their new devices, we are witnessing the birth or consolidation of new trends in consumer electronics in the coming years, and also, we are seeing how more discreet brands are gaining positions in a context in which competition becomes every More complicated time and in which, as we have commented on other occasions, there is beginning to be a certain saturation not only in the field of tablets, but in that of other media.
Alien to this panorama and in order not to lose ground, firms such as Archos, which has already launched tablets like the one in the series Diamond, They use these types of appointments to present their latest models. We have an example in 133 oxygen, the next tablets of the gala company and of which below we will tell you its most outstanding characteristics and that have already been officially unveiled. Will we be in front of a device capable of conquering the public? Will it be a terminal that passes without pain or glory during its commercialization?
Integrated
We start talking about the visual aspect and finishes of this tablet. 133 Oxygen has a cover of aluminum that offers lightness. As for its measurements, it reaches 33 centimeters long by 22 wide. Its approximate weight, according to its manufacturers, is 1 kilo. As we can see through these characteristics, the new Archos would fall within the group of the largest terminals in the market.

Through these characteristics, the French technology company seeks to satisfy the needs of both the domestic public and other more specific ones such as gamers with this device. For this, this model has a panel of 13,3 inches accompanied by a resolution Full HD 1920 × 1080 pixels. The diagonal has 10 simultaneous pressure points. In the field of cameras, it is equipped with two sensors: a 5 Mpx rear one and a 2 front one.
Performance
Through a GPU called Power VR, this tablet can, at first glance, smoothly run games with 3D graphics heavier and, according to their manufacturers, smoothly play videos in format 4K. However, these capacities may be reduced if we take into account their processor, a chip that with its 8 cores reaches peaks of 1,5 GHz. Currently, it is possible to find phablets that exceed 2. In terms of memory, we find a 2 GB RAM, which can be fine-tuned for those looking for a true device for running heavier tasks and games. Its storage capacity is one of its strengths. Part with 64 GB that can be duplicated thanks to the incorporation of Micro SD cards.
Operating System
Android Marshmallow It will be the software pre-installed as standard on 133 Oxygen. As an addition, it does not have its own customization layers that we can already see in the models of other companies, but it adds a series of own applications focused on the reproduction of audiovisual content or photographic retouching. In terms of connectivity, and as usual, it has support for WiFi networks and next-generation Bluetooth.
Autonomy
Another of the strengths of this tablet is its battery. With a capacity of around 10.000 mAh, allows, according to its designers, an approximate autonomy of 5 hours in case we use the device only for the reproduction of videos in HD. On the other hand, in standby mode reaches the 170 hours. To improve these figures, we found other functions installed in the operating system such as Doze.
Availability and price
Officially presented during the IFA yesterday, from Archos they assure that 133 Oxygen will go on sale from November of this year. It is expected that its arrival will be gradual since, its first target market would be the United Kingdom, where it would have an approximate cost of Libras 180. This tablet would belong to a series that also contains 7 and 8-inch devices that would also be presented during the Berlin event. Taking into account its release date, everything could indicate that it would arrive in our country just before the Christmas season.
Asia and the United States are not the only global technological poles. As we see in the case of Archos and many other firms that are based in our country, Europe also has a prominent place not only because it is the goal for dozens of manufacturers, but it is also capable of obtaining a leading role in the electronics sector of consumption. After knowing the next thing we will see from Archos, do you think that 133 Oxygen will be a good option within home tablets and for gamers? Do you think it has important limitations that, together with time, will determine the success of this model and its brothers?
