Perhaps due to the experience of the old PC manufacturer, the Dell Venue 8 has the feeling of laptop in the outer packaging design, in other words, it is simple and firm. The outer package of Dell Venue 8 only has a simple rendering and a few configuration introductions, but the hard kraft paper and design of the inner package can provide good protection.
The Dell Venue 8 is now the second generation product. The Dell Venue 8 3840 is used in this evaluation. The Intel Z3480 dual core processor is used, which has improved the performance compared with the first generation product. In addition, the second generation Dell Venue 8 also provides LTE/HSPA+version options, that is, 3G call version.
There is not much to say about accessories, including the instruction manual, data cable and power adapter. The power adapter is 5V/2A, which is very laptop like.
The Dell Venue 8 used in this evaluation is a 3G call version, that is, a tablet phone. As a tablet phone, the most attractive thing is undoubtedly the visual experience provided by the large screen. However, it may be that tablet phones are often positioned at the lower end. Even if large screens are used, the resolution is only 1280 * 720 or even lower, which greatly reduces the appearance.
Dell Venue 8 uses a 1920 * 1200 8-inch screen, which meets good requirements both in resolution and screen size. If it is a pity that it is not equipped with dual speakers, its auditory perception may be a little inferior.
The Dell Venue 8 does not appear thin on the border. Of course, tablet phones often don't make a big deal on the border. After all, you should consider the situation of both hands to avoid accidental touch.
In addition to the screen resolution, the back of the Dell Venue 8 is also a highlight. The back of the Dell Venue 8 uses a concentric circle pattern design, and the back material feels comfortable and has a certain anti-skid effect, which is quite good.
The texture of the back is very good.
In terms of cameras, the Dell Venue 8 is equipped with a combination of front 2 million pixels and rear 5 million pixels. The rear camera is not equipped with a flash.

In terms of physical keys, Dell Venue 8 designs the power key on the top and does not provide the function of double clicking the screen. It seems that its design is to use it with both hands horizontally. There are volume keys and mirco USB interface on the side, and there is a power indicator beside the USB interface.
The Dell Venue 8 3840 is a call tablet phone. In addition to the SIM card slot, it also supports the expansion of storage cards.
The only speaker on the bottom.
As a tablet phone, one hand holding is still a pure dream. The Dell Venue 8's 8-inch screen and three circumference dimensions certainly do not compromise, but the relatively round corner transition design makes it possible to grasp with one hand. But for the audience of tablet phones, single hand operation itself is not a consideration.
In terms of hardware configuration, Dell Venue 8 uses dual core Intel Z3480, with a maximum frequency of 2.13GHz, 1G memory and 4550mAh battery, and an 8-inch screen of 1920 * 1200. In terms of hardware configuration, it has obvious improvement over the previous generation products, and is consistent with the current mainstream call tablets, with certain performance advantages. Of course, the most important thing is its 1920 * 1200 8-inch screen, which is the biggest advantage.
Dell Venue 8 uses the native Android system in the system and adds a small amount of home software and built-in software, which can only be regarded as a modest approach. The Dell Venue 8 has a 4550mAh battery built in, and its performance in the endurance is very promising. The specific use experience of Dell Venue 8 will be presented to you soon.
