  • Wi-Fi reception and range are reported as weak by several users
  • The 2-megapixel rear camera produces grainy images and lacks autofocus
  • At 435gā€“440g, it is considered heavy for its size, making it uncomfortable for long sessions

Verdict

The Archos 80 Xenon 3G is a budget-friendly 8-inch tablet featuring an IPS display with a 1024 x 768 resolution and a 4:3 aspect ratio. Powered by a 1.2 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor and 1GB of RAM, the device runs on a near-stock version of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, providing a clean user experience with full access to the Google Play Store. Its primary strength lies in its integrated 3G HSPA modem and GPS, offering mobile connectivity and navigation at a lower price point than many competitors. Main pros include the inclusion of a microSD slot for expanding the limited 4GB internal storage by up to 64GB, wide viewing angles from the IPS panel, and the ability to send SMS/MMS messages. However, notable cons include very short battery life (approximately 4ā€“7 hours depending on use), low-quality 2MP rear and VGA front cameras, and a relatively bulky design at 11.3mm thick.
