We found the A200's build quality improved over the A500 model, with a sturdier yet still relatively lightweight feel. The rubbery textured back gave good grip. The display stayed the same as the A500 though - a no-frills 10.1" 1280x800 LCD panel with neutral colors but weak viewing angles and brightness for outdoor use. At $330-350, the A200 has an appealing value price point for a WiFi-only 10" Android, despite missing some features and polish. - PhoneArena |
