For those who are still interested in dedicated
tablets, there’s the Alcatel Smart Tab 7, which is an affordable family tablet.
It comes with a dedicated Kids Mode which supports app usage monitoring and
weighs just 268 grams.
Upfront we have a 7-inch display with a 600x1024
resolution and 16:9 aspect ratio. There’s a 2MP selfie cam which should come in
handy during video calls. The back features a single VGA shooter and a built-in
kickstand. Under the hood, we have the quad-core MediaTek MT8167B chipset
paired with 1.5GB RAM and 16GB storage which is expandable via microSD.
The software front is covered by Android 9 Pie with
Alcatel’s custom UI on top. Battery-wise we're looking at a 2,580 mAh cell
which charges over microUSB. The Alcatel Smart Tab 7 will be available later
this year for € 79 (US$ 86).
