Archos 80 Titanium

“Relatively inexpensive, and with a very attractive design, the Archos 80 Titanium isn't half bad. It has its flaws, including its struggles with multitasking, a poor speaker and so-bad-it-wasn't-worth-including camera, but it is able to counteract these problems with a very watchable screen, a pure Android experience with strong multimedia support and reasonable performance capabilities for basic singular tasks. It's not quite a top flight contender yet, but it shows that Archos have finally begun to understand what it takes to make a worthy Android tablet.”

“The Archos 80 Titanium is a good budget tablet with strong build quality, but when the more powerful Acer Iconia A1 is just £40 more, comes with the very latest Android 4.2 OS and has much better battery life, the 80 Titanium remains merely average rather than edging into Budget Buy territory.”

“The Archos lacks the flair of more expensive rivals, then, but it does get the basics right: a good screen, decent build quality, enough power for browsing and gaming, and a largely untouched operating system. The poor battery life is disappointing, but if you hanker after a tablet with a larger screen, it’s worth considering.”
