Customer Review

Having stayed had a 7-inch tablet, but this sold a year ago due to a smartphone purchase, I realized that I of my smartphone for some things screen was just too small. This netrifft above all the navigation in the car. Of course, other things such as messages are read or Trailer much more comfortable on a larger display. Having eaten so practically found it on my first tablet, the 7 inch fit in your pocket or a minor in my backpack, it should now again be 7 inches. Despite numerous Offline navigation programs I wanted one with 3G connection. Since I do not need the latest display technology, the highest battery life, or the fastest processor, I just looked up times in the lower price segment. For this purpose it should, however, already be a known company in the PC area, so I'm pretty quickly encountered the Iconia B1-711. After reading some reviews I have experience and the tablet then ordered.
Rather quickly I was able to find 2 things:

1. Yes, you can tell by the tablet in some places that it's a low-budget device.
2. It meets exactly its purpose, does what it should and is in everyday life perfectly adequate.

The first one notices after unpacking the unit: The back of the tablet is made entirely of plastic, but it looks but, especially when compared to its predecessor, yet good. When the display and the camera you realize the savings but most clearly. It is not particularly stable with respect to the viewing angle and the lower resolution compared to other tablets it shows. The camera, although I have not tested it, but everywhere we read how bad they should be. Seems therefore maximum for videotelephony suitable. However ds Tablet done smoothly so far all the tasks. I'm sure a Nexus 7 or iPad is not just the display clearly better, but everything goes a trace faster. However, these devices also have a different price. Only when excessive multitasking or HD tasks it is something in the knee. An advantage of 711 compared to the 710 is the quad-core processor. In WIFI Model 710 is "only" installed a dual-core processor. Of course I can not say anything about the practical difference, the performance, this should not hurt, however.

What are summarized therefore the positive and negative characteristics of this device?

Positives:
- Good performance, everything runs smoothly
- Android 4.2.2 .: relatively current version of the operating software.
- Low price
- Memory expandable with Micro SD Slot

Negatives:
- Plastic case
- Customize Your Front Camera
- Compared to other tablets large frame around the screen

From navigating on Internet and e-mails I use my tablet almost like my smartphone (except for the calls of course). The camera I do not use, the plastic case I take gladly accept, only the faint display bothers me somewhat. But since I have known that before, on what I was letting in this tablet, it gets to me 4/5 star just because of the display. For that I have but I bought the following screen film:

According to reviews, the viewing angle stability is to improve and reduce the mirrors. I will report my update this review.

Conclusion:
If one gathers information before buying about the features of this tablet and thus can accept, you get a great device at a reasonable price. If you look like to watch movies on the tablet, or it must have the latest technology, you can see better around for another device.

Update 11:02. I need to update my review and remove an asterisk. I wanted to use the tablet primarily as a navigation system. In the test, however, has pointed out that the GPS module is very weak and the tablet is therefore not suitable for this purpose. Of course you can help out here with mobile Internet data, but I do not want to be dependent on it. Thus, I have yet returned the device. With all cost savings, I could live with, but this makes the Iconia 711 for me but useless, unfortunately.
