Verdict

The Acer Iconia One 8 B1-820 is an 8-inch budget tablet featuring an IPS LCD display with a 1280 x 800 resolution and Acer Precision Plus technology, which allows for highly accurate touch inputs and the use of fine-tipped objects like pencils for sketching. It is powered by a quad-core Intel Atom Z3735G processor (up to 1.83 GHz) paired with 1GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, expandable via a microSD slot. Running on a largely stock version of Android 5.0 Lollipop, the device includes a 5MP rear wide-angle camera, a 0.3MP front webcam, and a 4,550 mAh battery providing roughly 7.5 to 8.5 hours of use. Main pros include its portable, lightweight design with a textured anti-slip tartan finish and specialized touch tools for note-taking. However, significant cons include the very limited 1GB of RAM which can cause lag during multitasking, a mediocre 0.3MP front camera, and a rear-mounted speaker that is easily muffled when held in landscape orientation.
