Acer's Iconia series of tablets has been in the market for some time and the Taiwanese manufacturer is not a stranger to this space. The latest to hit the retail shelves is the Iconia A1-713. The tablet costs around Rs. 13,000 and has a mediocre specifications list. However, its USP is its support for 3G data and voice calling. We try to find out if it is worthy as a tablet that can also make calls.
The Acer Iconia A1-713 has stellar voice-calling capabilities with exemplary sound quality in calls. Unfortunately, that is the only redeeming factor for this tablet. The tablet is characterised by its sluggish performance, terrible screen and unexciting software.
