Alcatel OneTouch Pop 7 and 8 Review: New Budget Android Tablets With LTE

There were two new budget tablets announced at CES 2014 in Las Vegas, and both are form Alcatel. The OneTouch Pop 7 and The OneTouch 8. It is exciting that they offer LTE on such cheap models, and both run the Android 4.2 Jelly Bean operating system.

Touch Pop 7 Feature Reviews

Unfortunately the Pop 7 comes with 1,024 x 600 resolution TFT screen which is not an IPS model and this makes for very narrow viewing angles. The processor is a 1.3GHz dual-core MediaTek MT8312. This tablet also comes with front and back cameras and 1GB RAM.

It is very lighweight, weighing at only 0.62 pounds, but it’s way too thick at 0.35. But those that got a sneak peek at CES reported that it was comfortable to hold, and that is all that really matters in the end.

Alcatel OneTouch 8 Features

The OneTouch Pop 8 tablet has an 8″ display with high def resolution of 1280 x 800 and it is an IPS screen which makes for much better wide angle viewing performance. The processor on the OneTouch 8 is a 1.3GHz quad core , brand name unknown at this time and this tablet also has 1GB of RAM. It weighs slightly more than the Pop 7, but it’s thinner and so has a much more sleek design.

Both models are not impressive in storage capabilities, at only 2.4GB usable space, but this is upgradeable with MicroSD storage slots on both models that support as much as 32GB on the Pop 7 and 64GB on the Pop 8.

Alcatel did not announce prices at CES, but indicated they would be under $200 for the Pop 7 and under $300 for the 8. Release dates are pending as well.
