GADGET GIZMO TABLET REVIEW DELL
VENUE 8
BEST FOR THOSE WHO NEED A BUDGET 8-INCHER
This Intel Atom-powered slate sports a sturdy build and a rubberised back for much-needed grip. Its HD display is bright and is capable of natural colours, but readability, takes a dip in sunlight. Also – despite its hi-res credentials – its images don’t look sharp. This, however, is more of a norm in tabs priced under 20k.
The Venue 8’s stock Android installation ensures a lag-free experience and PocketCloud – the only pre-loaded app on this device – works well to let you access documents from a remote PC that’s connected to the internet. But without 3G support, you are restricted to using it with Wi-Fi only.
Pictures taken with the rear camera are not sharp; low-light captures include a great deal of noise. The front snapper works well for video calls, provided there is enough light.
As for multimedia, the slate handles Full HD movies and light gaming without a hiccup. Its speaker is loud, but tends to distort at higher volumes.
Battery life is dismal, and a full charge gave us only four hours of video playback.
Specs:
8-inch, IPS (1280x800px) touchscreen | 2GHz dual-core processor | 2GB RAM | 16GB (internal), microSD up to 32GB | 5MP rear cam, 2MP front cam | Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, A-GPS | 4100mAh battery | Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean)
