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
Placed
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
As svelte as it gets, RealSense is niche, but great, Top class 2560 x 1600 resolution
Refocus effect is dramatic, Software isn't perfect, Camera isn't wellplaced
My early impression of the Dell Venue 8 7000 series is a positive one. Trading the bloated Windows OS for a responsive Android 4.4 seems like a great choice that will keep the tablet moving fast long after it leaves the box. The refocus-after-the-fact ca...

Are you looking for a smallish Android tablet with a great screen? Then yes. The 7840 is the best one you can buy. Samsungs similarly priced Galaxy Tab S is no slouch, but loses points for its lackluster design and Samsungs TouchWiz skin. The Nvidia Shi...
Amazingly thin, well built, RealSense cameras allow you to measure just about anything
Thin bezel and placement of cameras makes it a bit awkward to hold, image quality from the 8megapixel camera is only soso
The Venue 8 is a nice looking device with a good build — it's a pity that this is a case of form over function as the thin bezel and location of most components at the bottom cause some handling issues.Nevertheless, at US$399 (RM1,500) for a 16GB model, i...
