Alcatel OneTouch has an impressive collection of devices on display at IFA 2014 in Berlin, and one of them is the Hero 8 Android tablet. While this is not a high-end device, it will surely provide excellent value when it goes on sale thanks to the octa-core processor under its hood, ultra-thin aluminum case design and 4G LTE connectivity.

These are the Alcatel OneTouch Hero 8 features made public so far:

  • Cameras: 2 MP front, 5 MP back with LED flash
  • Connectivity: 4G LTE, WiFi, Bluetooth, micro USB 2.0, GPS with A-GPS
  • Operating system: Android 4.4 KitKat
  • Weight/Dimensions: 0.68 pounds; 8.23X4.80X0.29 inches
