  • Low-quality cameras with significant visual noise in photos and video
  • Proprietary wall adapter required for charging instead of standard micro-USB
  • Lacks the official Google Play Store out of the box, requiring a manual workaround
  • Build quality feels somewhat flimsy with a plastic casing that can creak

Verdict

The Archos 101 Neon is a budget-oriented 10.1-inch tablet featuring a 1024 x 600 resolution capacitive display and running on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. Under the hood, it is powered by a 1.4 GHz quad-core A9 processor paired with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage, which is expandable up to 64GB via a microSD slot. Key advantages include its mini-HDMI output for connecting to external displays, full access to the Google Play Store, and a lightweight design for its size at approximately 690g. However, it is held back by a relatively low-resolution screen for a 10-inch device, a modest 5000 mAh battery offering limited endurance, and the absence of a high-quality rear camera, typically featuring only a basic front-facing VGA sensor.
