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.

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.

Comment

Acer: The company was founded under the name of Multitech in Taiwan in 1976 and renamed to Acer or Acer Group in 1987. The product range includes, for example, laptops, tablets, smartphones, desktops, monitors and televisions. Gateway Inc. and Packard Bell also belong to the Group and sell their own laptops.

While Acer still had the third largest global market share in the notebook segment in 2008, it ranked 6th in 2016 with a market share of 6% after they had continuously lost market shares.

There are dozens of Acer laptop reviews per month, the ratings are average (as of 2016). Gateway, which has an own laptop line-up, has also belonged to the Acer Group since 2007.

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)

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.

0.52 kg:

This is pretty heavy for a smartphone. Usually, small tablets weigh as much.
