Hi,
I am looking to purchase an 8" Android Tablet. I bought previously a Nexus 7 but it was too small and too close to my Samsung Galaxy S3 (almost 5"). As it's to be used mainly while commuting, I am not looking for something bigger than 8".
My requirements:
* Good IPS screen
* Reasonably quick CPU
* Reasonable battery life (7-8 hours)
* Bluetooth
* Jelly Bean and Google Play store
* Ideally, charging through micro USB
* Budget: less than £150 / $180
* Slim and light
* Micro SD card slot
Basically, I am looking for an Android version of the iPad Mini.
Considering:
Detailed spec of the V818:
The main issue for me is lack of bluetooth...
Am I missing any other tablets?
Thanks,
Tom
