Short Review
- The Allview Viva i8 features a sleek design with dimensions of 200 x 137 x 7.3 mm and a weight of 312.5g, making it portable and easy to handle.
- Its 7.9-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 768 x 1024 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 162 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by an Intel Atom Z5280 chipset with a dual-core 2.0 GHz CPU and 1GB of RAM, which is suitable for basic tasks but may struggle with more demanding applications.
- The rear camera is a 5 MP unit with autofocus, capable of recording video, while the 2 MP front camera is adequate for selfies.
- The device is powered by a 4600 mAh battery, which offers reasonable longevity but lacks fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is dated, lacking the features of more recent versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The inclusion of stereo speakers enhances audio quality, and a headphone jack is available for wired listening.
- Overall, the Allview Viva i8 is a basic tablet-like device with essential features for casual use.
