amazon Dell Venue 8 reviews

Pros: Cheap; Good screen compared to the price; Design soft, comfortable; PocketCloud enables applications to access remote computer control.

Cons: Android version of the old; Accelerometers bit slow; Sounds expensive.

Design
Soft Case is the first thing you feel is the Dell Venue 8, which gives Venue 8 higher than the tablet at the same price. Dell symbols are carved quite prominent on this smooth backplate. 5MP camera protrudes a little bit but not severe enough to attract attention.

The front of this tablet is equipped with a glass design close to the spill’s edge, with a large black border around the screen frame 8 inches from the device. The screen surface is attractive but also easy to stick fingerprints.
The tablet’s left side with the volume rocker and the micro USB port for charging said equipment. Above, right on front 2MP camera, a headphone jack and power button. But most notable is the Dell Venue 8 property MicroSD memory card slot, a feature not common on smaller tablets cheap.

Screen
The 8-inch screen of the Dell Venue 8 is ideally suited for watching movies and reading usually. With a resolution of 1280×800 pixels, this screen has the exact resolution as the Tegra Note 7 and Memo Pad HD 7.
The most significant disadvantage of the Dell Venue 8 is the view. This tablet’s view was too narrow; even just pulling down a small tablet screen image became blurred. Another notable drawback is the screen Venue 8 less glare resistant.

With screen brightness of 359 lux, eight patents Venue 359 lux average of the same type and tablet ASUS Memo Pad equivalent HD 7 (358 lux). Venue 8 also significantly lighter than Venue 7 (255 lux) but less so than Nvidia Tegra Note 7 (451 lux) and Nexus 7 2013 (531 lux).

Sound
The sound was emanating from the speakers of the Dell Venue 8 unimpressive. When Venue 8 song “Seven Days, Seven Nights” by The Fratellis, we noticed the lead singer’s voice and instrument sounds are not clear. The different tone guitar, vocals, drums, and bass seem to blend into each other.

But Venue 8 still sounds better than the Tegra Note 7; Tegra Note 7 ‘s speaker makes sound guitar, vocals, drums, and bass emanating from performers like underwater.

Although Dell Venue 8 speaker sound quality is not good, it’s enough to fill a small room. In experiments with LAPTOP Audio Test software, Dell Venue 8 reached 81 decibels sound, the tablet’s average level.

Display
Like most other Android tablets, the Dell Venue 8 is equipped with a quick setup menu handy opened by dragging your finger from the top edge of the screen down. This menu allows you to adjust several settings easily fixed, such as WiFi connectivity and brightness. Other tablets such as Nvidia Tegra Note 7 and Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 offers more options. Dell Venue 8 provides eight optional settings quickly, while Nvidia’s tablet offers ten possibilities.

Nothing special in the app tray Venue 8. It’s pretty basic and neat categories like a pure Android app. Dell Venue 8 is equipped with standard applications such as alarm clocks, books, bookmarks, calendars, and contacts.

Application
Dell Venue 8 are equipped with Google’s standard applications often appear on the Android device such as Google+, Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Maps YouTube. The third-party applications are not very abundant outside the Amazon Kindle and Flipboard. However, the advantage is not too much bloatware in Dell Venue 8.

The most compelling application on Dell Venue 8 is PocketCloud; this application supports users to control the computer remotely using a tablet. After downloading and installing the software supported on Windows, we have remote access to perform some work on the computer using the Dell Venue 8. Service operations immediately, but not quite perfect. However, the application can be helpful in case you need remote access to handle emergencies.

Another exciting application is called PocketCloud Explore other; this application helps users manage files; it supports users to view and transfer files easier when working remotely. The application interface is neat and reasonably helps keep files organized state.

You can quickly move files between the tablet and your computer by manipulating click and holding the file, then click Transfer to transfer, but you can not transfer video files. To convert video files and the file size, you need to pay to upgrade services, $ 5/1 month.

Camera
Dell Venue 8 5MP camera taking pictures of pretty obvious. The photos are pretty clear streets with sharp colors, but a bit hard to read on the signs, taxi, and truck in the background.

Venue 2MP front camera of 8 also inadequate, not so bad. In the picture “take a selfie” above, this camera accurately describes the color, from bright pink to light red hair. No excessive noise and not too dim.

Efficiency
Intel Atom Processor Z2580 clocked at 2GHz with 2GB of RAM inside the Dell Venue 8 can handle well, smoothly most of the tasks, but we still think that the machine is sometimes delayed. For example, to convert the orientation from portrait mode to landscape mode, Venue 8 needs about 1.7 seconds.

Dell Venue 8 scored good marks in the benchmark test. In experiments with Geekbench 3, this tablet scored 1,301 points, a better competitor ASUS Memo Pad 7 (951 points) but lower than the 1766 average of the tablet. In this test, the Tegra Note 7 with Tegra 4 processor scored 2,523 points in 2013, with the Nexus 7 Qualcomm Snapdragon processor S4 Pro 1849 points scored, surpassing the Venue 8.

In experiments focusing on graphics, the Dell Venue 8 has scored good marks. In 3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited, 7689 Venue 8 record number of points, higher than the 7238 average scores of the tablet, but still significantly lower than the Nexus 7 2013 (10 624) and the Tegra Note 7 (16 451). ASUS Memo Pad 7 shows pretty badly in this test, with a score scoring just 2.218.

Battery life
Experiment with the LAPTOP Battery Test, in terms of web browsing over WiFi networks 40% screen brightness, Venue 8 can run in 7 hours 22 minutes. It is equivalent to the tablet and longer than the Nvidia Tegra Note 7 (6 hours 51 minutes) and about an hour longer than 7 Venue.

Conclude
With a sharp screen, attractive design, and a compact Android interface, Dell Venue 8 gives users an exciting tablet experience at an affordable price. But Intel’s microprocessors provide uneven performance. Navigate the list, open the app and play games quite smoothly. But slow accelerometer and video transcoding time-consuming will cause discomfort for the user.
