Verdict

The Archos 90 Neon is a budget-oriented 9-inch Android tablet powered by a 1.4GHz quad-core processor and 1GB of RAM, designed primarily for basic multimedia consumption. It features a 9-inch capacitive touchscreen with an 800 x 480 resolution, a 0.3MP front-facing camera, and integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity. While this specific configuration highlights 32GB of internal storage, it also includes a microSD slot for further expansion and runs on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. Its main advantages are its large, bright display for its price bracket, reliable performance for simple apps like Kindle or Spotify, and the inclusion of specialized Archos Media Center applications. However, significant drawbacks include a very low pixel density of 104 ppi, the absence of a rear camera and GPS, and an outdated operating system that limits compatibility with modern applications.
