It is a touchscreen device, and this IPS display also supports multi-touch of up to 5 fingers. The true tones and rich colors of this display will mesmerize you.

Camera
There are two cameras on this Acer tablet, one is on the back, and another is the front-facing camera. The rear 5MP camera can record 720p videos and capture decent quality images with proper visibility and clarity. The front-facing camera is a VGA 2MP camera that works well.

What We Don’t Like
Speakers
There is only a single speaker on this Iconia tablet. The sound gets distorted if you play any audio track at a higher volume, there is no noticeable bass, and the sound is not loud at all. In crowded places, you won’t be able to hear anything.
Conclusion
This can be said as one of the decent products from the Iconia series. Acer is providing with pretty much every feature one finds in a decent tablet. The performance is also quite good for this price range. This also comes with a 1-year manufacturer warranty on the product and accessories too. The build quality is good and recommended for daily usage. This product is good value for money and is worth buying.
