Acer Iconia A1 appears in local store for Php9,990

Acer’s 8-inch tablet, the Iconia A1-810, appeared in local store Villman earlier this week and is priced at under Php10,000USD 170INR 14,446EUR 162CNY 1,241. It is the Taiwanese company’s answer to the Nexus 7 and the iPad Mini but positions itself to be more affordable.

We saw this tablet earlier this month at the Computex in Taipei and you can read more about it here in our first impressions review.

Acer Iconia A1-810 specs:
7.9-inch IPS LCD display @ 1024×768 pixels, 162ppi
MediaTek MT8125 1.2GHz quad-core processor
1GB RAM
16GB internal storage
up to 32GB via microSD support
5MP rear camera
VGA front-facing
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth 4.0
GPS with aGPS support
mini-HDMI port
Li-Ion 4,960mAh battery
Android 4.2 Jellybean
Dimension: 208.7 x 145.7 x 10.5 mm
Weight: 460g

We actually saw this posted on Villman’s website just before Computex but it was quickly pulled off. It looks like this time, it will be permanent.

Acer Philippines is launching new products on June 27 so we’re guessing the Iconia A1 will also be there and it’s more likely that the Php9,990USD 170INR 14,432EUR 162CNY 1,240 is already the suggested retail price.

For that specs, plus it’s a global brand, this is actually a steal. Glad that branded gadgets are starting to price down their products, especially Acer and Asus.

I only care about having a 720p display when we talk about gadgets having at least 10 inches of screen, so this one’s good enough. If I have a 720p or a 1080p video, I’d rather play it on our 39″ TV than on a 8″ tablet. What’s the point of playing these type of videos on a small screen when these were made to be crisp and clear on large screens.
