We had a game today as the main selling points of Android tablets, Acer Predator 8 gaming tablet. This Intel processor-equipped Android flat uphold the Acer Predator Predator series is bold and sharp design, the whole gray and dark red mix, and use a lot of lines and angular design, looks very tough, highlight its gaming tablet of domineering. Today we take a look at, which exposed how the flat performance of domineering.

Configured, Acer Predator 8 with Intel Atom X7-Z8700 processor, which is one of the most powerful model in the current Intel Mobile processors. Meanwhile the aircraft mix 2GB LPDDR3 run the memory, the screen is 8-inch IPS LCD screen with a resolution for the 1920×1080, rear camera 5 million pixels, front-facing camera to 2 million pixels, batteries 4550mAh, using the Micro-USB interface, and comes with charger 5V 2 a.
Appearance
Unlike most flat simple design, is a bold and sharp design of the Predator, styling is quite avant-garde.
Corners of dark red speakers make the machine look overbearing, with a sense of the future.
Back design is also very bold in the middle of the part using the brushed metal texture, feel good.
Predator are the texture of the logo.
Intel’s black label Logo is visible.
Speakers shape very domineering, very much in the Predator (Predator).
Overall stylish and avant-garde, more suitable for the pursuit of individual groups.
Screen
We have adopted a nine-point screen brightness test, maximum brightness, edge a minimum brightness of 349 nits, the average is about 380 nits brightness, the maximum brightness is located near the center of the screen, for 434 nits. In addition to the lower right corner slightly lower brightness, brightness uniformity is good as a whole.
Color gamut, Predator 8 covers 87% 100% sRGB and AdobeRGB, color gamut of well. Default color temperature of around 9500k, screen is cool, but this machine has a built-in MediaMaster, conversion can be easily show/performance mode.
Color test, whether it is a standard display mode or game mode, its color is a bit high, final Delta e was 9.4, some not so good, a few darker color on the color deviation. iPhone Moschino
System
Predator equipped with operating system is very close to the original Google Android from the lock screen to home screen all the AOSP style.
Possible causes for engineering machine, this machine has a built-in full range of Google services, because the city cannot access Google, so the suite may have some impact on battery life.
Drawers, set interface and application interface has basically maintained the Google style primary system, the whole interactive logic is also consistent with the native Android, redraw only parts of the system icons.
MediaMaster built applications on hardware performance and color temperature, brightness of the screen to quickly switch allows users to rapidly changing usage patterns in different environment.
5.1 onboard systems for Android, fluency throughout the experience also proved to be, but some of the scenes appear Caton. Acer’s website for some reason in the mainland areas cannot access, we are still not apt-get upgrade.
Performance
Although millet flat 2 is also equipped with Intel processors, but compared to its on-board Intel X7-Z8700 processor millet flat panel 2 X5-Z8500 superior, GeekBench performed slightly better than millet flat 2, 3DMark, but doesn’t have any advantages. Memory read/write test, the read speed is low, the read speed of the 131.100MB/s below the 159.600MB/s millet flat 2, but writes well, reaching 79.430MB/s, superior millet flat panel 2 63.650MB/s. GPU because Z8700 and Z8500 uses the same integrated Intel’s eighth-generation low power GPU, based on the same frequency 200MHz, dynamic lifting up to 600MHz, so the test results very close to both GFXBench, Predator 8 leading slightly, both with the iPad mini flat 4 scores, but some distance Terga K1 millet flat panel 1 gap significantly.
Photos
In view of the Predator carries a 5 million pixel camera, so our photographic effect not to demand too much of it, its general image camera, and not up to “portable cameras” such tasks.
Although the picture is generally, but the Acer applications designed for the camera is good, custom features in great detail. Taking into account the Acer Predator 8 game flat position, this kind of camera performance can also be understood.
Battery heating
This machine uses Intel Atom X7 Z8700 processors, with a slight problem in the NBA 2K15 compatibility, although can get into the game, but after starting the game flashes back problems will appear, so we will proceed the test game replacement of the wild Chase 8.
We had half an hour WiFi Internet access and half an hour after the game to test the temperature, positive maximum temperatures 42. c, highest temperature of 41.8 degrees Celsius on the back, machine temperature too hot, but hot sites are mainly concentrated in the upper part of the fuselage, is not a major part of the holding plate, heating parts are reasonable. Back cover metal heat conduction performance is very good, to some extent, ease the Intel processor heat larger issues.
After 1.5 hours of battery life tests, electric power only and the remaining 61% Predator 8 and iPad in the same test mini3/mini4 remaining 93% and 86%, respectively, for Tablet PC, the battery level is really weak, its only 4550mAh battery has affected the life, to know the size of millet flat 2 and iPad mini4 6190mAh, 5124mAh respectively.
Needs to pay attention because this machine has a built-in Google full stack, in the case of continental regions are unable to connect to Google, daily stand-by power consumption would be high.
Charging
Predator 8 is equipped with a 4550mAh battery, battery life is slightly worrying, fast became one of important indicators of it experience, we charge the remaining 7% of time to start the test.
Comes with charger rules for 5.35V 2.0A, specifications are somewhat on the low side.
After our tests, Predator 8 is QC2.0 fast charge standard. After the use QC2.0 fast charge, the maximum charging rate reached 9V 1.5A, has reached the mainstream level, but considering it somewhat unsatisfactory battery life, it is charging enough.
Summary
As a gaming tablet, Acer Predator 8 has a very attention-grabbing style appearance and styling strong, domineering and outside its speaker in the corner effect is good, is not available to the normal flat stereo effect. The machine uses an Intel X7-Z8700 processor, both in the performance of the processor can be used with iPad Mini 4 at the same level, performance is quite good. A slight difference in compatibility for games, such as our usual test games NBA 2K15 is not running correctly, a little disappointed. In addition to the flat equipped with a 4550mAh battery, under the same test conditions, iPad Mini 4 when remaining capacity is 86%, Predator 8 only remaining 61%, battery life is not so satisfactory. Despite its weakness, virtues, if you need a profile cool outside, excellent gaming performance, audio effects are also good game flat, the Acer Predator 8 remains one option for your consideration.
