PERFORMANCE:

Gaming is extremely good on this tablet. The gameplay is very smooth and no frame droppings are reported. You can play almost all games even high-end games in this device. The game can be played in high visual quality mode. I checked games like Asphalt 8 and Real Racing 3 where I found is good graphics with a good rate of frames  running. Coming to the display why we are still not able to get an HD display at an affordable price range. It's always 1024 x 600 pixels which are a bit disappointing and it also runs on Kitkat but not Lollipop. But with the given resolution the display seemed absolutely fine and the given hard specs are satisfactory.

The tablet also doesn’t support 4G which another drawback to the device. The voice calling clarity is good. The sound from stereo speakers is with good clarity. The camera interface and performance is pretty normal. The overall performance of the device is said to be okay. It is also said to be that Archos 101 Xenon Lite is one of the flagship models from Archos.

VERDICT:

Archos 101 Xenon Lite is a very impressive mobile. If you want to have a device in mid range with a very affordable price range then go for Archos 101 Xenon Lite without any second thoughts. There are issues regarding performance and the remaining is very good. But the given hardware is a bit disappointing.
