As svelte as it gets
RealSense is niche
But great
Top class 2560 x 1600 resolution
The 7000 looks good. It looks really good. I think it's the sharpest Android tablet I've ever seen. Those tiny bezels look great
And that slimness is almost beyond belief. It's not just the body the 2560 x 1600 OLED screen is fantastic too
The battery
The Dell Venue 8 7000 is remarkably thin and lightweight with a comfortable feel. The Intel RealSense depth-sensing camera is an innovative feature and the preloaded Dell Gallery efficiently works as a central hub for photos. Its storage capacity expands

Focus effect is dramatic
Software isn't perfect
Camera isn't well

The 7000's asymmetrical design can be more annoying than a more traditional bezel layout at times. The RealSense cameras are a letdown. Depth-sensing Lytro-style refocusing tech in your tablet could probably be cool
But the apps and cameras are iffy. Th
There's a learning curve to using the depth-sensing camera and the photo-editing software. The tablet can get hot during long periods of use
Design is not ergonomic, Camera very iffy, Internal memory only 16GB
Dells android tablet is one of the best I have seen in the market till date. The screen and display is fabulous, the device can be comfortably held one-handed and sound is crisp. The camera is seriously iffy but I doubt many people use their tablets as t...
The Dell Venue 8 7000 is an attractive Android tablet with a super slim design, a great screen and offers smooth performance combined with good battery life. However, it's more expensive than closely matched rivals and the RealSense camera technology whic...
There's no doubting that the Venue 8 7000 is a capable tablet with decent performance and a great looking display. The screen's good for watching TV and movies and the operating system's up-to-date. While the camera's not the highest resolution, for many...
Gorgeously thin design, Beautifully sharp display, Very impressive performance, Solid battery life, Interesting RealSense Depth Camera feature
Camera itself is poor, Less than stellar viewing angles.
On the whole, then, it is safe to say we were amazed by the Dell Venue 8 7840.The tablet's design is phenomenal, proving incredibly thin yet strong and sturdy. The aluminium construction looks and feels premium. Yes, the front camera is at the bottom of t...

Unbelievably thin and light, Gorgeous screen, Inpicture measurement tools
Uneven bezels make landscape typing awkward, No Office support
The Venue 8 7840 is a killer tablet, with a great screen and stunning build quality. It's let down a little by awkward bezels and a lack of Microsoft Office, but other than that, it's a knockout....
Three cameras add features, Sharp, impressive screen, Consistently good performance, Excellent battery life
New features are gimmicky, Camera quality is mediocre, Ergonomic niggles throughout
Dell takes several risks with its latest tablet, but they don't always pay off. The slim design grabs headlines but doesn't make a big difference in real-world use, and the off-centre style helps and hinders in equal measure. The three-camera arrangement...

The Venue 8 7840 is packed with interesting technology. Not all of it will come in handy day-to-day – being able to measure distances within photos is a neat trick rather than an indispensable innovation. However, the core specifications, performance and ...

With its powerful 3D camera and strong image editing features the Dell Venue 8 7000 makes the strongest case yet for tablet photography....
Best Android tablet, Gorgeous, metal design, Amazing, depth-sensing cameras, High-end specs
No Lollipop, Depth effects take time to process
In the past, Dell has made average tablets for very low prices. The Venue 8 7840 is a wonderful exception to the rule, and a truly amazing tablet. It's the best-looking Android tablet I've ever used, and second in performance only to the Nexus 9. It coul...
