The Iconia A1-810 tablet defies the current thin-and-sleek trend by sporting a thicker profile than other small tablets, like the iPad Mini and Nexus 7. The A1's right edge is home to a Micro-HDMI port and microSd expansion slot -- two things the aforementioned small tablets don't have.
HD video on the Iconia A1 looked great, aside from the black bars that fill the frame. Combined with the tablet's large bezels, they made the video smaller and less enjoyable to watch.
The tablet's back has a smooth, almost soft, white matte finish. It doesn't help you grip the device securely but makes it somewhat comfortable to hold. It's also smudge-proof to boot.
