Acer Iconia Tab 10 A3-A20FHD
The Iconia Tab 10 is the latest tablet released by Acer. With a full HD screen and Dolby Sound system, the Tab 10 is made to provide the best of entertainment experience. The Iconia Tab 10 comes with a 10 inch screen. The full HD resolution on the large 10 inch screen looks clear and beautiful, and makes it easier to use than ever especially for those with large fingers. The screen is also bright enough to use outdoors comfortably. Its white sleek look is similar to Apple iPad. Thanks to an aluminum back cover it feels more solid than the latter when held in the hand. The weight is also very manageable at only 510 grams.
Acer's latest tablet comes with a sweet quad core processor, great for multi-tasking and running the latest games from the Android store. The camera shoots pictures of up to 5 MP, but the image quality is unfortunately poor quality despite many customization options. The stereo speakers of the Iconia Tab 10 utilize a Dolby sound feature, so it's not surprising that the audio sounds great compared to other tablets.

The Acer Iconia Tab 10 is a formidable budget- and kid-friendly tablet in a sea of not-so-worthy competitors. It has a lovely 1920 x 1200 display and a sturdy design. I'd recommend the Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 to people who really value the multiple modes and who need extra power and performance.

The nicest thing we can say about the Iconia Tab 10 is that it’s adequate. Unfortunately, that just about sums it up. It doesn’t excel in any areas. While it’s marketed as an entertainment device, its display isn’t sharp enough and the speakers are average and far too easy to cover up accidentally. Performance and battery life are also unremarkable, and the 16:10 aspect ratio isn’t ideal because of the screen’s size.

Acer Iconia Tab 10 A3-A20 (NT.L5DEE.003)
The Acer Iconia Tab 10 is made from silky white plastic and sports a sharp 10 inch display that is designed to be used in a landscape orientation. The 10.1 inch screen has a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels. This HD display features the Zero Air Gap technology that ensures increased vibrancy and image sharpness. The viewing angle is considerably wide at 170 degrees due to its IPS technology. There is a rather wide bezel around the screen. So, your thumb can rest there without interrupting the screen. The tablet is also reasonably thin at 8.9 mm thick and weighs only 540 grams, which makes it extremely light in order to be held in one hand. This tablet is powered by a quad core 1.3 GHz MediaTek MT8127 with a 1 GB RAM and 16 GB internal storage. This storage can be expanded up to 32 GB as there is a microSD slot available. The OS on this machine is an Android 4.4. There are a rear camera with a resolution of 5 MP and 2 MP front camera. The main attraction of the Acer Iconia Tab 10 is its relatively more affordable price and its 10 inch display, which is rare for mid-range tablets nowadays.Specifications

Multimedia central. Acer designed their Iconia Tab 10 A3-A20 to be a veritable home entertainment system. To that end, they equipped the 10-inch tablet with an HD display, a quad-core SoC and a Dolby sound system. Is the 200-Euro (~$225) Android device worth buying? Read our review to find out.

There's little to get excited about with the Acer Iconia Tab 10 but that's fine with a very affordable price tag of £179. It's plain in appearance and quite heavy but apart from a few too many pre-loaded apps, the tablet offers good performance and decent storage plus a handy microHDMI port. Overall it's a good choice if you're looking to spend under £200 on a large Android tablet.

The Iconia Tab 10 is a fairly unimaginative budget Android tablet that is noticeably light on innovation and features. The device has an unassuming design and offers slightly below average camera and processor performance compared with most other Android tablets. However, when you consider the £180 price tag this is to be expected. The Iconia Tab 10 offers a stable way to access the internet and mount basic productivity tasks, making it a solid, if dull, choice for buyers on a budget looking for a 10in tablet.

The Acer Iconia Tab 10 A3-A40 is better than other Android tablets in the £110-130 range because it has a 1,920 x 1,200 pixel screen – it isn’t grossly pixellated, and therefore is a big upgrade.

However, it doesn’t quite do enough elsewhere to be a complete success – or to avoid appearing a little dated in parts.

Gold chain substitute. The Acer Iconia Tab 10 stands out with above-average performance at an ambitious price. But can it meet these expectations? A few minutes of close contact with the device quickly leave a lasting impression.

Comment
Acer: In 1976, the company was founded in Taiwan under the name Multitech and was renamed Acer or Acer Group in 1987. The product range includes, for example, laptops, tablets, smartphones, desktops, monitors, TVs and computer peripherals. Since 2007, the group has merged with Gateway Inc. and Packard Bell, which also market their own laptop product lines.
Acer computers are designed for a variety of purposes, including ultrabooks for mobile use, gaming laptops for gamers, affordable options for everyday tasks, and 2-in-1 convertible laptops for versatility. Acer's product portfolio also includes tablets that offer portable computing and multimedia capabilities.
These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.
ARM Mali-450 MP4: OpenGL ES 2.0 GPU for ARM based SoCs with 4 fragment processors and 1 vertex processor.
ARM Mali-T720 MP2: Integrated graphics card in ARM based SoCs. Can be configured with up to 8 cores (T720 MP8) and 650 MHz core clock (at 28nm). Supports OpenGL ES 3.1, OpenCL 1.1, DirectX 11 FL9_3, and Renderscript.
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.
Intel HD Graphics (Bay Trail):
Integrated GPU for tablet and notebook Bay Trail SoCs. Based on the Ivy Bridge GPU with four Execution Units and support for DirectX 11.
Imagination PowerVR GX6250: 2 cluster graphics chip integrated in ARM SoC (e.g. used in the MediaTek MT8173)
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Mediatek:
MT8127: Quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 SoC clocked at 1.7 GHz that integrates a single channel 32 Bit DDR3-1333 memory controller and a Mali-450 MP4 GPU.
MT8176: ARM based hexa-core SoC (2x Cortex-A72 clocked at 2.1 GHz, 2x Cortex-A53) for tablets
Intel Atom: The Intel Atom series is a 64-Bit (not every model supports 64bit) microprocessor for cheap and small notebooks (so called netbooks), MIDs, or UMPCs. The speciality of the new architecture is the "in order" execution (instead of the usual and faster "out of order" execution). Therefore, the transistor count of the Atom series is much lower and, thus, cheaper to produce. Furthermore, the power consumption is very low. The performance per Megahertz is therfore worse than the old Pentium 3M (1,2 GHz on par with a 1.6 GHz Atom).
Z3735F: SoC with an integrated quad-core Atom processor clocked up to 1.83 GHz, an Intel HD Graphics GPU and a single channel DDR3L-RS-1333 memory controller.
Mediatek :
MT8163 V/A 1.5 GHz: Quad-Core ARM Cortex-A53 SoC clocked at up to 1.5 GHz (V/A version) with integrated Mali-T720 MP2 clocked at 600 MHz graphics card.

10.00:
This is a standard display format for tablet computers or small convertibles. You see more on the screen than on a smartphone but you can't use big resolutions well. On the other hand, mobility is not a problem.

No weight comment found (one expected)!
78.59%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
