Verdict

The Nextbook NEXT Premium 8 is an entry-level 8-inch tablet featuring a 1024x768 capacitive touch display, 1GB of DDR3 RAM, and 8GB of internal storage expandable via a microSD slot. Powered by a 1.5 GHz dual-core processor and running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, it includes dual cameras (0.3MP front and 2MP rear), a mini HDMI port for TV connectivity, and a 4300 mAh battery. Its main pros include an affordable price point, a compact form factor similar to an iPad Mini, and a relatively clean stock Android experience with minimal bloatware. However, it suffers from significant cons such as poor viewing angles due to its TN panel display, low screen brightness in outdoor settings, and weak camera performance.
