RealSense possibilities: Dell Venue 8 7000 8.4in Android tablet
Source: Reg Hardware Archive.org version
There's no doubting that the Venue 8 7000 is a capable tablet with decent performance and a great looking display. The screen's good for watching TV and movies and the operating system's up-to-date. While the camera's not the highest resolution, for many that could be outweighed by the creative possibilities of the RealSense Snapshot system.

Battery life is very strong though – most consumers will find that the Venue 8 lasts approximately 2 days on a single charge, but excessive use will drain the battery before then. With general usage, a 2 day battery life is definitely achievable. It really is a great tablet overall, with the camera being the only major let-down. However, since tablets are not primarily used for their cameras anyway, it is not the end of the world.

Fancy camera aside, the Venue 8 7840 is an impressive tablet. In our tests, the tablet's screen was capable of displaying 100% of the sRGB colour gamut, and as it's an AMOLED model, blacks are truly black. The operating system feels like it’s just under your finger, and Android's icons and text look sharp, clear and vibrant. The screen isn’t as bright as other AMOLED displays we've seen, such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4's, with a maximum brightness figure of 262cd/m2 compared to 297cd/m2 for the Samsung.

The Dell Venue 8 7840 is a really, really nice tablet. It's got a very pretty screen, and the high-quality form factor is frankly gorgeous. There are a few issues with the irritating bezels and camera placement, but aside from that, we can't really find anything to complain about. The internals are all fairly top-notch, and the Intel Atom processor makes them absolutely fly.

Dell takes several risks with its latest tablet, but they don’t always pay off. The slim design grabs headlines but doesn’t make a big difference in real-world use, and the off-centre style helps and hinders in equal measure. The three-camera arrangement is innovative but has limited real-world potential, and it’s undermined by poor camera quality. It’s better in more traditional areas, but its inconsistent design and poor camera mean it won’t be for everyone.

Comment

Model: Dell has offered an innovative tablet with the Venue 8-7840. Designed to look impressive on the arms of any young or young at heart corporate personality, its anodized aluminium coating makes users look more serious and elegant. The front bezel is done up in shiny black plastic and features an 8.6 inch display with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels and a pixel density of 324 ppi, which is bound to give super sharp, super vibrant and super clear images. Not to mention, the display is equipped with AMOLED technology making contrast ever higher than usual. Included as hardware is a 2.3 GHz Intel Atom Z3580 processor, 2 GB RAM and 16 GB of internal storage.

The main attraction of this tablet is of course how incredibly slim it is at only 6.1 mm in thickness, which is only about two thirds what a normal tablet would measure. Another interesting bit about this tablet is the presence of four cameras. There is one front facing 2 MP camera provided but on the rear, there are three cameras altogether. The main camera is 8 MP and the two supporting lenses are 720p each. On moderate usage, the battery life can go up to 12 hours, which makes this an option for Android fans.

Imagination PowerVR G6430: Multi core (4 cluster) graphics card for ARM processors that supports OpenGL 4.x and ES 3.0

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

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).

Z3580: Quad-core SoC for smartphones and tablets. Clocked at up to 2.33 GHz and integrates a DirectX-11-capable PowerVR/IMG GPU.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

Large smartphones and a few small tablets are available for this display size. Unlike most smartphones, you can see more on the screen, more details and use larger resolutions. Such formats are better for people with defective vision. However, such devices are no longer easy to fit in a pocket, and they are probably not quite light either.

Dell: Dell is a U.S. manufacturer (based in Texas) of computer hardware founded in 1984 and is one of the largest international manufacturers in terms of both market share and notebook models. Its product line includes desktops, notebooks, storage systems, monitors, servers, printers, consumer electronics and peripherals. Dell offers laptops that are suitable for various applications, such as business laptops, gaming laptops, ultra portables and workstations. Dell's business laptops from the Latitude and Precision series are an option for professional users and businesses.

In 2023, Dell had an approximate 17% market share of global PC sales, ranking #3 after Lenovo and HP.

For gaming enthusiasts, Dell's Alienware brand is for gaming notebooks.

88.13%: This is an above-average rating. Nevertheless, it should not be forgotten that about one fifth of all tested models receive a better rating.
