What we like about Acer Iconia B1 720 (1GB + 8GB)

  • Extremely affordable budget-friendly price point
  • Lightweight and compact design (approx. 320g), making it easy to hold
  • Includes a microSD card slot for expandable storage
  • Loud front-facing speaker provides better audio projection than previous models
  • Smooth and 'snappy' performance for basic navigation and web browsing
  • Good for casual uses like reading, email, and simple games for children

What we don't like about Acer Iconia B1 720 (1GB + 8GB)

  • Poor screen quality with low resolution (1024 x 600) and narrow viewing angles
  • Washed-out colors and contrast shift due to the use of a cheap TN panel
  • Limited internal storage (often only 8GB, with significantly less available to user)
  • Underpowered dual-core processor struggles with demanding 3D games and multitasking
  • Inconsistent battery life, with some users reporting it drains quickly under active use
  • Pre-installed 'bloatware' (e.g., McAfee) that can be difficult to remove
  • Only features a basic 0.3MP front-facing camera with no rear camera

Verdict

The Acer Iconia B1-720 is a 7-inch budget tablet featuring a 1024 x 600 resolution TFT LCD display and is powered by a 1.3GHz dual-core MediaTek MT8111 processor. This specific variant includes 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage, with memory expansion available up to 32GB via a microSD slot. Its main characteristics include a portable 320g lightweight design, a front-facing speaker for clearer audio, and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean for basic tasks. Pros include its highly affordable price point, ease of use for children or casual reading, and the presence of a microSD slot which is often missing in other budget slates. Cons include the limited 8GB of internal storage that leaves little room for apps, mediocre viewing angles on the TN-panel screen, the lack of a rear camera, and relatively short battery life of approximately 5 hours.
