Acer has just introduced two new additions to its tablet lineup during the IFA 2025 event. The Iconia X12 and Iconia X14 tablets are new models for everyday use, bringing vibrant OLED displays, quad speakers, and much more for at a budget.
Acer Iconia X12
The Acer Iconia X12 is the smaller model, sporting a 12.6-inch AMOLED display that has a 60Hz refresh rate, a 16:10 aspect ratio, 400 nits of peak brightness, and a 2.5K resolution (2560 x 1600p). Under the hood, it is equipped with the MediaTek Helio G99 SoC, which is paired with 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage. So, the brand isn’t bringing any upgrade over the Iconia X12 tablet that debuted back in 2024.
A sizeable 8,000mAh battery pack powers this device, which Acer claims can offer up to 16 hours of battery life. For photography, the tablet features a 13MP camera on the rear, while the front houses a 5MP shooter for selfies and video calls. This model was announced with various accessories, including a magnetic kickstand and a detachable keyboard. There are also AI powered tools like AI Super Resolution for video upscaling and AI Smart Sensing for gesture controls.
Other notable features include Android 15 OS out of the box, quad speakers, a microSD card slot with up to 1TB of storage expansion, dual band WiFi, and Bluetooth 5.2. It measures just 6.5mm in thickness and weighs 500 grams. Out of all the new Iconia tablet launches, the Iconia X12 is the only one that receives support for stylus input and the optional keyboard case.
Acer Iconia X14
Acer’s Iconia X14 is the larger of the two new budget tablets, with a tall 14-inch OLED screen. It also has a 60Hz refresh rate with thin bezels. But downgrades the resolution to 1920 x 1200p. At this size, the tablet can basically double as a portable thin-and-light laptop. The large OLED screen makes it great for media consumption, browsing, and productivity based tasks. This model is equipped with the Allwiner A733 chip, which features an NPU that brings AI powered features to the tablet, like AI smart Sensing, AI Super Resolution, and more.
The chip is coupled with 8GB of RAM and up to 256Gb of internal storage. Users can also expand the storage via a microSD card slot on this model as well. You get an 8MP camera on the rear and a 5MP selfie shooter on the front. The Acer Iconia X14 houses a large 8,000mAh cell, runs on the Android 15 OS, packs a quad stereo speakers, along with support for dual band WiFi and Bluetooth 5.4.
