What customers don't like about Acer Iconia Tab A110 (1GB + 8GB)

  • Low-quality display with subpar resolution (1024x600), muted colors, and narrow viewing angles
  • Disappointing battery life, often lasting significantly less than competitors in video rundown tests
  • Cheap-feeling all-plastic construction and uninspiring 'boxy' design

Verdict

The Acer Iconia Tab A110 is a compact 7-inch tablet featuring a 1024 x 600 resolution TFT display and a 1.2 GHz quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 processor. It is equipped with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage, which is expandable via a dedicated microSD slot. A key highlight of its hardware is the inclusion of a micro-HDMI port for external display output, alongside standard micro-USB connectivity. Running a clean version of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, its main advantages include smooth performance for multimedia tasks and versatile storage options. However, significant drawbacks include poor viewing angles on its low-contrast screen, a relatively short battery life of roughly 5 hours, and a boxy, all-plastic design that can feel dated.
