What customers don't like about Dell Venue 8 7000 Cellular (2GB + 16GB)

  • Awkward ergonomics due to sharp edges and extremely thin bezels causing accidental touches.
  • Inconvenient bottom placement for the front-facing camera and speakers.
  • Intel RealSense 3D camera is often described as a buggy gimmick with low image quality.
  • Limited 16GB internal storage, with only about 9-10GB actually available to the user.
  • No NFC or wireless charging support.
  • System animations can occasionally feel jerky or laggy despite high benchmark scores.

Verdict

The Dell Venue 8 7000 is a premium Android tablet distinguished by its incredibly thin 6mm machined aluminum chassis and a vibrant 8.4-inch OLED infinity display featuring a sharp 2560 x 1600 resolution. This cellular-capable model is powered by a quad-core Intel Atom Z3580 processor (up to 2.3GHz) paired with 2GB of LPDDR3 RAM and 16GB of internal storage, which is expandable via a microSD slot supporting up to 512GB. Key strengths include its sleek, nearly bezel-less design, high-contrast screen with deep blacks, and the innovative Intel RealSense Depth Camera system for 3D measurements and refocusing effects. However, the tablet faces notable drawbacks, such as awkward ergonomics due to its razor-thin edges, inconvenient camera and front speaker placement that is easily blocked by hands, and a camera performance that can be noisy in low light despite its advanced depth-sensing features.
