Stunning screen with high brightness, contrast and colour fidelity, Physical buttons greatly improved since first generation, Fluid gaming (both in terms of software and handling), Sober, welldesigned body looks good
Could have longer battery life, Response issues with the physical buttons in certain "compatible" games, Mediocre camera, It would have been more practical to switch the positions of the left stick and the Dpad
It's almost as if the Archos GamePad 2 is fighting against itself in terms of its branding, as if we were looking at this tablet as a purely budget tablet, it's be hard not to be impressed with the good IPS screen, storage options, HDMI out, and quad-core...
Better-looking design, Improved controls, Comfortable to use for long periods
Button mapping still not perfect, Screen quality is good but not great, Game support issues still persist
The Archos GamePad 2 is big improvement on the first GamePad in many ways but game support and the frustrating mapping button means the search for a great Android gaming tablet goes on....
The Archos GamePad 2 is a natural evolution in design from the previous version, improving on the original in many ways. It still looks like an oversized PlayStation Portable, but it's been slimmed down and it feels a lot better to hold now. Gone is the cheap-feeling plastic of the original version: instead you've got a slick-looking glossy black frame which the screen seamlessly fades into. At j
While the 1280 x 800 screen is a vast improvement on the GamePad 2, it's nothing compared to the likes of the full HD panel new Nexus 7, which jams even more pixels into the same sized display. That means some jagged edges in 3D games are more apparent - and if you're not a gamer makes splashing out twenty quid more on the Nexus a much smarter option. Thanks to the glossy nature of the screen, it
Archos has improved on its GamePad in every area possible, from the screen to the speed, and even the hardware and controls, but it's still a very niche product. Priced at £179, it faces stiff competition from the likes of the mighty all-purpose Nexus ...

Abstract: Archos is back with a sequel to its largely failed Gamepad, and it's certainly been listening to all the complaints closely. The Gamepad 2 is improved on all levels with faster innards, better screen, upgraded buttons and sticks plus even a better persona...
Greatly improved design, HD IPS screen, Impressive battery
Priced too high, Tinny speakers
The GamePad 2 is a well built, ergonomic, attractive portable gaming tablet that looks and feels like it should be playing in the big league. The depth of colours, crisp screen and broad array of Android games mean you will be entertained.But at its high...

Comfortable controls, Snappy Android experience, Micro SD and HDMI out
Limited support for big titles, Screen isn't full HD, Slow and boring games
The second GamePad from Archos is a massive improvement on the first. The game controls are great, there are welcome features like microSD card support, and it doubles up as a very capable Android tablet.However, the game support is weak right now, and Mo...
final Nos parece una idea genial lo que ha hecho Archos con esta tablet. La ha convertido en una “pequeña” consola que sacará el mejor partido a los juegos que se adapten a sus controles y que cada vez son más en el catálogo de Android como podemos ver e...
Archos GamePad 2 Un buen dispositivo para jugar , este sería el resultado de nuestro análisis, la relación calidad precio tiene mucho que ver en está decisión. Aunque hemos criticado su sistema de controles, también os hemos comentado que esto no ocurre ...
Pantalla IPS de 7" (1.280 x 800), Procesador Quad Core con GPU Quad Core, Herramienta para el mapeo de controles, Rendimiento con juegos
Poca ergonomía
Tras haber probado anteriormente otros dispositivos similares, puedo decir que Archos GamePad 2 es la consola portátil Android que más me gusta . Su diseño es bastante bueno, fabricado con plásticos que transmiten sensación de bastante robustez. Además...
