Comparisons Featuring Acer Iconia B1

Short Review

  • The Acer Iconia B1 features a compact design with dimensions of 198.1 x 121.9 x 10.2 mm and a weight of 315g, making it portable but slightly bulky.
  • Its 7.0-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 600 x 1024 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 170 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks sharpness for detailed visuals.
  • Performance is powered by a Mediatek MT8111 chipset with a dual-core 1.3 GHz CPU and 1GB of RAM, providing limited multitasking capabilities.
  • The camera system is minimal, with a VGA rear camera and no front camera, suitable only for basic snapshots.
  • The battery capacity is 2955mAh, which supports moderate usage but lacks fast charging or wireless capabilities.
  • Running on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is outdated, limiting access to newer apps and features.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The device is available in black and gold, offering basic aesthetic choices.
  • Overall, the Acer Iconia B1 is a simple tablet that meets basic needs but falls short in performance and features compared to more modern devices.
