In this review we will focus on the representative of the company Acer – tablet Acer Iconia Talk 7. His performance he never will win, and the rest of the specifications is not to say that the ultimate dream. And yet, this device catches sight because it looks like an extremely stylish and stands out among peers, state employees. Well met, as we know, by their looks, and only after that to get acquainted with the contents.
The tablet is for many users in the same integral part of the image, like, say, a smartphone. Tablet PCs come in different sizes, so the user has the choice of how it should be the mobile tablet. Of course, in addition to the screen diagonal, there are other selection criteria, such as the materials used, the weight, a variety of wireless modules, etc.
DESIGN ACER ICONIA TALK 7
For this tablet used plastic, which is quite logical, considering the price tag of the device. Manufacturer departed from the conventions, and the device did not black or white, and gold. This color does not occur very often, and most are already tired of the same type of boring colors, because this decision may be interpreted in the “hurray”, regardless of gender. Further – more matte cover Acer Iconia Talk 7 is not smooth and rippled: set of points as if pressed into the surface, and it looks, frankly, very stylish. By the way, she Acer claims that the Italian designers were invited to develop such a design. Finally, in the middle of the lid there is a large brand logo, and at the top – a large rear camera lens.
The front of the tablet – the antithesis of the back. The frame is made in a white color, in addition, it is glossy. Whatever it was, the display collects fingerprints (as well as any other mobile device). Under the screen – another logo, this time-saving, above it – the earpiece and front a webcam.
The housing is also fairly easily soiled, it instantly left fingerprints, and visible fine scratches and dust. Rounded corners visually reduce the actual size of the tablet, making it seem very tiny. In fact, the dimensions Iconia Talk 7 – 190h108h10 mm. This tablet PC is very lightweight – only 280 g, respectively, it makes sense to speak of its ergonomics. Besides, he does not slip, comfortable to hold with one hand, so for those who do, say, some notes on the go, this device – a godsend! The only thing that upsets – the build quality. If the pressure on the body, he treacherously zaskrepit. Given this unfortunate fact advise all the same to get a protective cover, so that the device has not ceased to please you ahead of time.
DISPLAY, AUDIO AND WEBCAM ACER ICONIA TALK 7
Technical characteristics of the tablet screen modestly: resolution is 1024×600 pixels, pixel density per inch – 160 ppi. Undoubtedly, those who will compare with the more advanced models with a resolution of the display, at least, Full HD, will suffer a huge disappointment. But if you do not expect from devaysa nothing supernatural, and the sobering reality will not happen, because, in fact, for a 7-inch diagonal figures are quite normal. Additionally pleases decent color reproduction, as well as a good level of brightness and contrast.
The display is implemented TFT IPS-matrix, through which the image does not fade under any angle. There is support for multi-touch gestures, but the number of simultaneous keystrokes minimum – no more than 5. there is a light sensor above the screen, but it does not always works correctly. Incidentally, the display surface is very sensitive to depression, so it is usually commands are executed without delay. By the way, the tablet has a function MiraVision, with which you can “play” with the settings of the image by adjusting the brightness, sharpness, saturation, contrast, etc.
Loudspeaker in only one plate, and it is located in the lower part of the cover unit. You do not expect miracles from him? And rightly so, we should not entertain hopes, because in this case they are not met. The sound output is not very loud, for a small room – just right. However, you can always use the headset, and then the acoustic data will improve significantly.
Web cameras, as we have already mentioned, two. Front received permission 2 Mp, for good quality images it is not happy. Optimally to use the front webcam for video, in which case it will prove best. With regard to the rear of the module, its resolution is higher – 5 megapixels. There is no flash, autofocus is activated intermittently, so rely on it too much not worth it. In the daytime, you can make quite decent photos, but with the onset of dusk and night shots granularity falls significantly.
KEYBOARD ACER
Of course, neither of which docking keyboard is not talking, but it makes sense to mention the virtual. It is standard for the Android operating system, and we are confident that the vast majority of users have been dealing with it through other mobile devices. Keyboard interface is very simple: small buttons, the ability to change the language, keyboard layout, appearance. In addition, there are fonts of the Acer brand, it will be interesting to many.
At the bottom of the screen, one can see three small touch-sensitive buttons, “Home”, “Menu” and “Back”.
PERFORMANCE ACER ICONIA TALK 7
The Acer Iconia Talk B1-723 7 operating system Android 5.1 Lollipop. It shall be accompanied ton of system applications, such as utility “System Doctor”, operating on a similar principle with CCleaner. In addition, it was not without firm Acer’s application suite for working with photos, music and documents. Finally a few words about branded utilities: EZ Note allows you to make notes, EZ Snap – take screenshots.
Now just about the hardware. In the role of advocates MediaTek MT8321 SoC with 4-core ARM Cortex-A7, which operates at a frequency of 1.3 GHz. In conjunction, with the schedule, it is ARM Mali-400 MP, which supports OpenGL ES 1.1 / 2.0. Hardware components are not the most productive and, frankly, in the direction of 3D-games better and not an eye, in the case of this tablet would have to confine unpretentious 2D-toys.
The amount of RAM is only 1GB (available will be around 900 MB) DDR3 standard, which by today’s standards is already very small. This is another argument “against” run most games since even many undemanding shooters because of the small amount of RAM will lag. For data storage provides 16 GB, of which the user will fall to slightly less than 12 GB, and the rest will be given under the system. Components with higher capacity flash drive manufacturer, unfortunately, is not provided.
PORTS AND COMMUNICATIONS ACER ICONIA TALK 7
With interfaces from Acer Iconia Talk 7 the situation is as follows: The right side has the volume adjustment rocker and physical power button device. A little further – the plug snaps, by the way, is very short-lived at first glance. Beneath it hides as much as two compartments for SIM-cards and a slot for microSD / microSDHC card reader to 32GB.
There is nothing left, but on the upper side has a Micro-USB port and headphone output.
Below – a microphone. With the wireless communications business in tablet things just fine, because, in addition to standard Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n and Bluetooth 4.0, there is also a 3G module, not to mention the GPS and GLONASS navigation. With 3G without problems, switching between the “SIM cards” setting is carried out OSes.

1-well non-removable lithium-polymer battery of the tablet Acer Iconia Talk 7 has a capacity of 3380 mAh. The capacity of the battery will last approximately 9 hours of web surfing, and idle equipment and all can spend the whole day. Video playback defuses the device for about 3.5-4 hours, and the maximum load (for example, games) – 2 hours, or even faster. That is to say, the outstanding autonomy Tablet PC can not boast, so with the active exploitation of its still better to keep the socket in the field of vision.
A few words about the body heat. Many low-cost mobile devices are heated, and quite significantly, so that’s Iconia Talk 7 – a pleasant exception. The body does not get hot even when running demanding tasks, and this will agree, it is worth a lot, considering that the 7-inch tablet users almost do not let out of the hands.
CONCLUSION ACER ICONIA TALK 7
We must admit that at first, we were unsure if the tablet Acer Iconia Talk 7 – typical state employees, with a similar segment of the same type inherent disadvantages and problems. And even surprise us that the baby was not possible, however, to please some moments he definitely succeeded. Main, on that bet manufacturer, – the appearance of the tablet. Housing although plastic, but it is the embodiment of ideas neizbity: corrugated cover, with sunken points, which form a kind of geometric plexus.
