French company Archos has announced the launch of its Archos 97 Carbon , its first tablet in the "Elements" range, inspired by the elements of the surfboard. This tablet joins the line of low-cost Android tablets aiming to compete with Apple. The price is estimated to be between $230 and $250, which is approximately €200.
This Android tablet will measure 239 x 189 x 11.5 mm and weigh 620 grams. The device comes in an aluminum casing.
Archos 97 carbon will have an HD screen of 9.7 inches with IPS technology and a resolution of 1024 x 768. It will have an ARM Cortex A8 processor of 1GHz. Your RAM will be 1GB and your operating system will be the Android 4.0. Ice cream sandwich. The tablet comes with 16 GB internal memory that can be expanded with a other 32GB microSD card. It has an HDMI output port and a USB 2.0 port. We can use two cameras, a front 0.3 MP for video calls and a rear one for 2.0 MP photos. Its battery will allow us to play video for 8 hours and music for 20 hours.
It will connect to the internet through a port WiFi.
Henri Crohas, Founder of Archos and CEO explained that with the Elements range they wanted to present this new series that not only combines reasonable prices with modern designs but also offers the best that Google can offer. In his opinion, this is something that they have achieved with the Elements range by bringing together the perfect balance between hardware, software optimization and content through the Google Play ecosystem.
And is that the Elements range was announced in March at the presentation of other interesting Archos tablets such as tablets Archos 8th G9 y Archos 101 G9 from the G9 range. In your case, Elements will have two other tablets, a 7-inch and an 8-inch, in addition to the Archos 97 carbon. We hope to see these two new proposals soon.
