Summary
- The Acer Iconia B1 and Asus Memo Pad ME172V both feature a 7.0" display with a resolution of 600 x 1024 pixels, but the Iconia uses a TFT panel while the Memo Pad employs an LED-backlit LCD.
- In terms of performance, the Iconia is equipped with a dual-core 1.3 GHz Mediatek MT8111 chipset, compared to the 1.0 GHz VIA WM8950 in the Memo Pad, which may result in better responsiveness for the Iconia.
- The camera capabilities differ, with the Memo Pad offering a 1 MP rear camera and 720p video recording, while the Iconia has a VGA rear camera with no significant video quality.
- Battery capacity is another distinction, as the Memo Pad has a larger 4270 mAh battery compared to the 2955 mAh of the Iconia, potentially providing longer usage time.
- Both tablets run on older versions of Android, with the Iconia on Android 4.2 and the Memo Pad on Android 4.1, which may affect the software experience.
- Build quality is similar, but the Memo Pad is slightly heavier at 370g versus the Iconia's 315g.
