Verdict

The Archos 70b 4G (Helium) is a compact 7-inch budget tablet featuring a 1024 x 600 IPS display and 4G connectivity, powered by a 1.0 GHz quad-core processor with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage (expandable via microSD). Its primary advantages include its highly portable design, dual-SIM support with full phone call functionality, and a relatively clean Android Lollipop 5.1 interface that lacks heavy bloatware. However, it is hindered by a slow startup time, a low-quality 2MP rear camera lacking autofocus, and a modest 2,800mAh battery that may require frequent charging during heavy use.
