Because the world needs more cheap tablets and no one looks weird
holding a 7-incher up to their ear, Acer just announced two new
Iconia-branded Android tablets. The Iconia One 7 and Iconia Tab 7 are firmly planted in the midrange market, and the 3G-enabled Tab 7 is capable of placing phone calls.
The Iconia One 7 ships with modest specs, which is no surprise, given
its $130 price point. The tablet comes with a 7-inch, 1280x800 IPS
display, along with an Intel Atom Z2560 processor, MicroSD card slot,
and dual speakers. It has both front and rear cameras, and Acer says it
can get up to 7 hours of 720p HD video playback on a single charge, but
didn't get specific about the battery's actual capacity.
Expect to see the Acer Iconia One 7 in a variety of colors when it lands
in Pan American markets at the end of June. The tablet will launch in
European, Middle Eastern, and African markets in the middle of May.
The Iconia Tab 7, while still lacking in the spec department, is a tad
more interesting due to its ability to make calls. Outside of the
connectivity options, the Tab 7 shares the same 7-inch 1280x800 IPS
panel found on the One 7. Users will also be treated to a quad-core
processor, front-facing and rear cameras, as well as a MicroSD card slot
for storage expansion.
The Acer Iconia Tab 7 will be coming to Latin American markets by the
end of June for 1,990 MX Peso (just over $150). European, Middle
Eastern, and African markets will see the tablet in the middle of may
for €149 (around $205).
Both tablets will ship with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean out of the box, with the promise of an eventual 4.4 KitKat upgrade in the future.
After reviewing Acer's $180 Iconia A1 tablet
not long ago, the prospects of these new tablets have me less than
ecstatic. Still, a semi-capable tablet for $130 is hard to ignore.
