Acer Iconia X12: premium 12.6-inch AMOLED display with aluminum chassis

The Iconia X12 is Acer’s premium offering in this lineup, boasting a 12.6-inch AMOLED screen with 2560×1600 resolution and a 16:10 aspect ratio. While the refresh rate is a modest 60Hz, the display delivers vibrant colors and deep blacks, making it ideal for video streaming, document work, and digital drawing.

The device features a 500-gram aluminum alloy chassis with slim bezels and flat edges that give it a minimalist, sophisticated vibe. Inside, it’s powered by the octa-core MediaTek Helio G99 processor with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of onboard storage. The hefty 8000mAh battery promises up to 16 hours of use on a charge.

Extras include four speakers, a 13MP rear camera, a 5MP front-facing camera, a USB-C port, and a microSD slot. The tablet also supports a stylus and an attachable keyboard, appealing to creators and productivity users. Pricing starts at 25,799 rubles, or roughly $280 USD at current exchange rates.

Acer Iconia V12: smooth 90Hz IPS display with Wi-Fi 6 at under 20,000 rubles

The Iconia V12 targets the mid-range segment with similar internals to the X12, also running on the Helio G99 with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. Its 11.97-inch IPS display sports a sharper 2000×1200 resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate, which makes scrolling and animations noticeably smoother than standard 60Hz panels.

The V12’s aluminum body has a matte finish on its back, housing an 8000mAh battery that can last up to 10 hours. It packs modern connectivity like Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4, stereo speakers, an 8MP rear camera, a 5MP front-facing camera, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and stylus support. The price starts at 19,899 rubles (~$215 USD).

Acer Iconia A8: compact one-handed tablet with entry-level price

The Iconia A8 is the budget pick designed for everyday use with one hand. Its 8.68-inch IPS screen offers a resolution of 1340×800 pixels at 60Hz. The all-metal chassis is compact enough to slip into a jacket pocket, making it highly portable.

Under the hood, it runs on the Allwinner A537 chipset with 4GB RAM and 128GB storage, enough for web browsing, messaging, and light gaming. The 6000mAh battery delivers up to 10 hours of usage. Interfaces include Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, USB-C, 3.5mm headphone jack, microSD slot, and cameras with 8MP rear and 5MP front sensors. The starting price is 11,999 rubles (~$130 USD).

For context, Acer’s Iconia tablets compete with budget and mid-range models from Apple’s iPad lineup, Samsung’s Galaxy Tab series, and other Android tablets available in Russia. While Iconia doesn’t feature flagship Snapdragon chips or Apple’s M-series processors, it offers solid value with modern features like AMOLED screens, 90Hz refresh rates, and stylus support at competitive price points.

The return of the Iconia brand to the Russian market illustrates Acer’s commitment to carving out space amid stiff competition, especially as consumers seek capable devices that balance performance and price. Watch for whether Acer will update the lineup soon with 5G connectivity or higher refresh rate displays, features increasingly standard in global tablets.
