Comparisons Featuring Pantech Element
Short Review
- The Pantech Element features a robust design with dimensions of 212.3 x 155.4 x 10.7 mm and a weight of 469.8g, making it relatively hefty for an 8-inch tablet.
- Its TFT display measures 8.0 inches with a resolution of 768 x 1024 pixels, providing a pixel density of approximately 160 ppi, but lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm APQ8060 Snapdragon S3 chipset with a dual-core 1.5 GHz Scorpion CPU and Adreno 220 GPU, paired with 1GB of RAM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
- The rear camera offers 5 MP with autofocus and can record video at 720p, while the front-facing camera is a modest 2 MP.
- The device is powered by a substantial 6400 mAh battery, although it does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), the software experience may feel outdated compared to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC support.
- The absence of stereo speakers may affect audio quality, but it does include a headphone jack for wired audio.
- Overall, the Pantech Element combines basic features with a sturdy build, catering to users seeking a straightforward tablet experience.
