Verdict

The Acer Iconia B1-720 is a 7-inch budget tablet featuring a 1024x600 resolution TN display and running on a 1.3GHz dual-core MediaTek MT8111 processor. This specific model includes 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, which can be expanded by up to 32GB via a dedicated microSDHC slot. Key characteristics include a lightweight 315g build, a front-facing speaker for clearer audio, and a 0.3MP front camera for basic video calls. Pros include its portable design, affordable price point, and the inclusion of GPS and Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity. However, notable cons include poor viewing angles on the non-IPS screen, a low-resolution display, relatively short battery life (approximately 5 hours), and the lack of a rear-facing camera.
