If someone is looking for an affordable tablet in the market, there is no doubt that he will go for the Google Nexus 7 which is undoubtedly the best affordable tablet available in the market. Of course it does not mean that we don’t have any other options or any other manufacturer is not trying to compete with it. Let’s take the example of Acer, as the company has prepared a brand new and a very affordable Android powered tablet device which will bring a 7 inch display screen.

This new tablet from Acer will be called Acer Iconia B1 and a little while ago Acer sent it to get passed from FCC. We don’t know much about the insides of the device right now but according to the FCC report, it seems like this device will be coming with some sort of cellular connectivity as well. When we take a look at the diagrams from the FCC site, they show that the Iconia B1 tablet offers a SIM card slot. Well, we could not find any further info about the specs of the device from FCC filing but GLBenchmark database has something more for us.

Specifications

According to the data found from GLBenchmark database, we have found out that this new tablet from Acer will be coming with a decent 1.2GHz processor and it will also come with a PowerVR SGX 531 GPU under the hood. The 7 inch screen in the Acer Iconia B1 will offer a screen resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels. In addition to that, we weren’t able to find anything that impressive in the specs of the device. The only thing that makes this device a little appealing will be the Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean coming out of the box.

According to another source, the 1.2GHz processor is a dual core and it also features 512MB of RAM. That’s not it, the device will be coming with 8GB of Internal memory as well as a microSD card slot for further expansion. Other features of Iconia B1 include Mediatek SoC, GPS, Bluetooth 4.0 and WiFi.

We don’t know about the release date or the price tag of the device yet. But this device is supposed to be a very affordable tablet which means that its price tag will be pretty decent and it will be appreciated by all the budget conscious consumers. Acer is yet to officially announce this new tablet which is expected in early next year.
