Verdict

The Dell Streak 7 WiFi is a compact 7-inch tablet powered by a 1GHz dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor and 512MB of RAM, running on Android 2.2 Froyo with Dell's Stage UI. It features 16GB of internal storage (expandable via a full-sized SDHC slot), a 5MP rear autofocus camera with LED flash, and a 1.3MP front-facing webcam for video chat. Its main strengths include a durable Corning Gorilla Glass display, high-performance internals for its time that handle Flash content and gaming smoothly, and built-in GPS functionality. However, it is significantly hampered by its low-resolution 800x480 screen with poor viewing angles and an exceptionally short battery life that often lasts only 3 to 4 hours under moderate use.
