ARCHOS 101 XS 2 Review
Score: 50.3 / 100
ARCHOS 101 XS 2 is a mid-to-low level Android tablet, with a big size 10.1 inches multi-touch screen, a high-tech 1600 MHz Quad-Core processing unit, and two cameras, a 2 MP back camera and a 2 mega-pixels front facing camera. Let's take a deeper sight of what this tablet can do.
This device is powered by a great Quad-Core processing unit clocking at 1600 megahertz and a huge 2 GB RAM memory. Graphic intensive applications and games generally eats lots of CPU cycles, so it has an ARM Mali-400 MP4 graphic processing unit working at 266 megahertz to help handle those graphic tasks. The ARCHOS 101 XS 2 counts with a good 16 GB internal storage and an external memory card slot, which allows you to install a couple hundred apps without running out of space.
This device is available only in white color. This tablet is a compact portable tablet, taking into account that it packs a 10.1 inches display and it has just 10.75 inches long. The ARCHOS 101 XS 2's thickness (0.4 inches) is quite far from current standards, but it still feels quite right in the user's hand. The ARCHOS 101 XS 2 feels a bit heavy comparing to other tablet devices , with a weight of 22.43 oz.
Archos equipped the ARCHOS 101 XS 2 with an average 10.1-inches screen, and a 800 x 1280 resolution, which makes all photos and movies look good. This screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and can detect multi touch gestures.
This tablet features two cameras, a 2 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 2 mega-pixels front camera.
The ARCHOS 101 XS 2 includes wi-fi connection (although it can't be provided to other devices as a mobile mobile hotspot). The ARCHOS 101 XS 2 doesn't use a sim card, because it's not a GSM device.
The ARCHOS 101 XS 2 also comes with a couple interesting features such as Bluetooth (for communication with other bluetooth tablet devices, computers and accessories) and GPS Geolocation, and some sensors likeAccelerometer and Compass.
Archos is selling this tablet for $ 249, which is a really high price for this kind of device.
