I have 12 inch Honor Mate Pad 9 and I think the bezels are smaller than this thing. The tablet cost €250 and is great value for money. I never have any issues with the thin bezel ever. It's a tablet after all. You don't hold it and control it with one hand. Even to do so on an 8 inch tablet would be a stretch.

It's probably just that though. If the bezels were smaller, the device would be too close to an iPhone size and cannibalize sales.
