2012-09-01
hey guys it's michael fisher at pocketnow.com here at Aoife in berlin still checking out the toshiba 8270 not a very creatively named the 7 inch tablet stands for android tablet 270 is what one of the guys told me last night from toshiba but very much like a to my eye like a nexus 7 designed and built very differently to take down a little bit of a hardware tour here this is the power standby button up top a lock slides which i believe volume up and down little microphone there take it around to the side / bottom the headphone jack USB port with microsd expansion down there on the bottom stereo speakers dock connector there nothing on that side on the back here I believe this is double check the specs here this is an 8 megapixel camera real story though of course up front on this display this is a an AMOLED display not sure if it's super amoled or not it doesn't get quite that specific but the color really really plays very nicely very deep blacks amazing color saturation this is what caught my eye checking out the device last night it's running Android 40 not really sure if it's dot 4 or 3 because we're stuck in demo mode here low battery consumption is one of the touted advantages it runs on an NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor and with a what they're calling a fifth battery saver core but of course that's standard high performance 12 core nvidia GPU as well comes with one gig of onboard ram capacity up to 64 gigs so in many respects a whole lot like a nexus 7 designed and built differently and in this case by toshiba feels really great in the hand lightweight without feeling chintzy the only may be detrimental thing about it is the price point Toshiba's quoting a price point around 500 euro which is really really not like the Nexus 7 at all whether that's going to be worth it for you is going to be up to you of course but for even for build quality like this I think that's a little steep weld a little bit more on this if we can for you there's Michael Fisher at pocketnow.com Tony's behind the camera stay tuned for lots more from Aoife here in Berlin thanks for watching
