The phablet is an ever- increasing superstar, but sticking telephone capabilities straight onto a 7-inch tablet? Let's all just cease and assume meticulously about this.
But Acer believes it can work and the Iconia Tab 7 is proof of faith. With 3G connectivity and the capability to make telephone calls, it'll going head to head with the Asus Fonepad for an cost-effective price of &euro150 ( about £123, $207) at the end of May.
Even though the tablet shares the Iconia 1 7's 1280 x 800 IPS display with good wide viewing angles, the physique is a bit thinner at 9mm.
That brushed aluminium back also makes it really feel sturdier than the 1 and decidedly more premium, although a tad less exciting (the One 7 comes in a decision of ten various colours).
It really is all well and fantastic till you get to the protruding camera, which does stick out noticeably. That's almost certainly down to it clocking in at a much more impressive 5MP.
Is that because it's far more acceptable to take images with this tablet taking into consideration it really is sort of a telephone also ? The jury's still out.
Operating on a Mediatek MT8382 quad-core processor clocked at 1.3GHz, the Tab 7 is not breaking any speed barriers and there was noticeable delay when switching in between portrait and landscape, almost certainly not helped by obtaining just 1GB of RAM inside.
The greater news is that it's running Android four. four KitKat suitable out of the box ( as opposed to the One particular 7), even though sadly for the purists, you'll have a handful of extra pre-installed apps on leading.
Acer also tells us that we'll get six hours of battery out of this slab but you are going to have to wait till our complete critique to see just how precise that number is.
Just as we anticipated, when it came to seeing how it would feel to use the Iconia A single 7 as a telephone it felt fairly damn weird. Acer did admit that people will much more most likely chat on it via a Bluetooth headset, but even then we cannot see this replacing anyone's day-to-day handset.
Early verdict
3G connectivity and phone capabilities imply you'll seldom be disconnected from the world, but the Iconia Tab 7 possibly won't replace your telephone. Nevertheless, it has some excellent stuff going for it, including a 5MP camera, a good brushed aluminium finish, and a fairly very good asking price tag.
