I found the touchscreen responds well without needing to push too hard. The quad-core processor provides smooth video playback despite only having 1GB of RAM. The battery life impresses me, lasting 2 days with moderate use before needing to charge. - matmroy |

I love the Kid's Center parental control app. It creates a safe play area on the tablet. I can limit what content my kids access and set time limits. I enjoy tailoring separate kid profiles with unique content. - Acer |

I found the tablet's design to be fairly generic and ordinary looking. The back has an unattractive plastic texture and it's not easy to grasp with one hand. However, it does come in a variety of fun, bright colors for personalization. - PhoneArena |

Pros: - MicroSD slot for expandable storage - Good battery life, lasts 2 days with moderate use - Smooth video playback with quad-core processor Cons: - Low resolution, grainy cameras - Intermittent speaker shorts that mute audio - Not suitable for high performance gaming or photography |
Acer's latest budget tablet, the Iconia One 8, delivers solid performance and features.
The quad-core MediaTek processor and 1GB of RAM provide smooth video playback and general responsiveness when browsing and streaming content.
The 8-inch 1280×800 IPS display seems reasonably sharp, with vivid colors and wide viewing angles.
While the design comes across as generic, buyers can choose from an array of bright color options to personalize their tablet.
Acer manages to cram respectable battery life into the Iconia One 8's slim frame, with moderate use yielding 2 days on a single charge.
Expandable storage via the microSD card slot bolsters the somewhat limited 16GB internal memory.
The Iconia One 8 ships with Android 5.1 Lollipop and includes parental controls through Acer's Kid's Center app.
This tailored environment lets parents limit access to content and set time restrictions for children using the tablet.
Kid profiles feature age-appropriate videos, games, drawing programs and more to keep young ones engaged.
Cameras disappoint on paper, with grainy, low-res 5MP and 2MP shooters on back and front respectively.
Audiophiles may also encounter issues, as some early users have reported intermittent speaker shorts randomly muting sound.
And while everyday tasks feel fluid enough, buyers should not expect heavyweight gaming or multitasking performance.
For those seeking a starter slate for basics like web browsing, streaming movies, or social media, the Iconia One 8 warrants consideration given its wallet-friendly price.
Just don't anticipate the same polish or capabilities as premium tablets costing 2-3 times as much.
Parents needing a child-safe handheld screen could also find appeal thanks to the Kid's Center controls.
Shoppers wanting top-tier photography, gaming or productivity will need to spend more or consider laptop-tablet hybrid devices.
