the Dell Venue seven and eight tablets are simple pair of smooth performing vanilla Android slates for the budget conscious shopper I'm Xiomara Blanca Christina and we're gonna take a first look at these two tablets the 7 and 8 inch slates are relatively thin in life but even in the category of budget Talbots you can find sleeker the back panel features a circular groove texture that's reminiscent of a vinyl record I found it to be a stylish alternative to the typical smooth matte backside the grooves aren't sharp or deep enough to make an impression and it feels comfortable against your fingertips on the top edge there's a power button microphone pinhole and headphone jack and microUSB port volume buttons and micro SD card slot located on the left and right edges the single speaker is located on the bottom edge and it works conjunctively with Mac's audio mobile and app made for enhancing audio while watching video listening to music or gaming the Talbots run Android 4.4 KitKat and aside from some pre-loaded software it's a pure Android experience right out of the box the preloaded apps include full Suites of Amazon and Google apps as well as Polaris Office Evernote a few popular mobile games and more in addition Dropbox is also on there and you get a free 20 gigabytes of cloud storage for a year with the purchase of your Dell tablet the venue 7 and 8 house of 1.6 gigahertz a dual-core Intel Atom processor 1 gigabyte of RAM and 16 gigabytes of internal storage there's a 1 megapixel front facing camera and a 5 megapixel rear camera the native camera app doesn't offer a lot of scene modes or manual options but I found the rear cameras to produce sharper more detailed photos than what I'm used to seeing on tablets for basic tasks they consistently performed swiftly web browsing was silky smooth and mobile games ran without a hitch performance did slow down when downloading many updates at once and when loading large apps but that's to be expected out of simply spec slate the venue 7 is one of the smoothest performing small budget tablets and it's 159 starting price it's a great option for bargain shoppers though the ADA then you similarly performs well it's design isn't as compact as comparable expect mid-size tablets and there's nothing to really make it stand out against the competition unless a vanilla Android experience is something you crave for a more in-depth look at these two Dell slates check out my full review on Cena again I'm Xiomara Blanco and this has been a first look at the Dell Venue seven and eight
