14 DAY TRIAL // Small tablets usually measure 7 inches in diagonal, or a full 8 inches, but there are some exceptions that give makers of less ordinary LCD screens something to do. One of those exceptions is the ZDX X800.
ZDX X800 has a display with a diagonal of 7.9 inches; well, 7.85 inches to be exact. One wonders why the company didn't settle for the “normal” 8-inch format.
Whatever the reason, the LCD is an IPS panel with a native resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels, showing that the 4:3 aspect ratio is used, not the 16:9 cinematic ratio.
At the heart of the device lies an ATM7029 Cortex-A9 quad-core processor, based on ARM architecture and clocked at 1 GHz.
It's actually a fairly strong chip. Not close to the Cortex-A15 that stronger slates use, but more than decent, especially for something that sells for less than $150 / €150.
In fact, the exact price is of $139.99 / €139.99. Quite low, even among entry-level tablets of these times.
Even so, the product boasts 16 GB of NAND Flash storage space (14.14 GB free, the rest used by the Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean operating system).
What's more, the X800 comes with a micro SD card slot (for up to 32 GB extra capacity) and 1 GB of DDR3 RAM (random access memory).
Furthermore, ZDX tossed in two cameras, one of 2 MP at the back and one of 0.3 MP at the front.
Other features include Flash 11.1 support, 1080p Full HD video playback support, 3G external support, a mini HDMI output, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
Everything runs on the energy delivered by a 4000mAh battery. The charge should last for 4 hours of video playback, more when less demanding tasks are accomplished. ZDX' X800 tablet ships with a charger, a USB cable, and some earphones. No stylus here, but the 10-point multitouch support of the screen should be enough anyway. Sadly, sales are only happening in China right now.
