Comparisons Featuring Dell Venue 8

Short Review

  • The Dell Venue 8 features a compact design with dimensions of 212 x 130 x 9.8 mm and a weight of 292 grams, making it portable yet sturdy.
  • Its 8.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 800 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity and color reproduction, though it lacks HDR support.
  • Performance is driven by an Intel Atom Z2580 dual-core processor clocked at 2.0 GHz, paired with 2GB of RAM, which handles basic tasks adequately.
  • The 5 MP rear camera captures standard quality images, while the 2 MP front camera is suitable for simple selfies.
  • Battery life is supported by a 4100 mAh capacity, but it does not offer fast or wireless charging options.
  • Running on Android 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is basic and lacks updates.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The device includes a microUSB 2.0 port and a headphone jack for audio needs.
  • Overall, the Dell Venue 8 is a functional tablet with essential features, but it may feel limited compared to more modern devices.
  • Its build quality and performance are adequate for casual use, but it lacks advanced capabilities found in newer models.
