Ideal for me
So far I have only used this for watching videos on the internet. And for that purpose it works perfectly. It was really easy to set up and I was off and running in no time. Picture quality is great and it's easy to use. This is perfect for someone that doesn't want to do any major usage. I didn't have an android device so this covers all bases for anything I need.

Adequate
Perfect for watching movies on the go, checking emails, browsing the internet. Very intuitive if you've come from an android phone. Has a good size screen with standard HD, which is fine, face unlock and other familiar features, ok camera and is good for video calls.Struggling to find a decent protection case for it though, also not sure where it would go to be repaired should the worst happen and it gets dropped.Sound is ok though probably better using headphones if you want to hear it properly.

Perfectly ok
The latest Android, decent screen and good battery life.It works fine.In terms of power it doesn't compete with tablets that are worth twice as much, but it works fine enough to not be bothersome and the screen is better than the average in its price-range.It's at the front of the pack in its price range.If this is the money you can spend, it's very well spent in this tablet.

Works as well as any basic android tablet and 4G phone. A protective case is pre-attached, too.
I really just required a touch-screen tablet in-order to be able-to produce some artistic designs, and although the 1280 x 800-pixel screen is okay for this semi-blind user on this small 11-inch screen; others with sharper vision may have a different opinion on that, because there are better resolutions out there for a similar outlay.The addition of the pre-attached case is just one less thing to purchase; but I’ve also put it in a big enough laptop/tablet padded, zip-up sleeve; just to be on the safe side. This does appear-to cover-up the sim and memory-card port (for which there’s a tool included to ‘open’ this small tray) which is a might be a bit frustrating at times; but then once you’ve installed a sim and a card; you might not need-to go in there again unless there’s an issue; so, this isn’t really an issue.A main gripe is that these types of devices, is that they are always trying-to gather data and other statistical information about you, and a good example of this is when you initially start using this tablet, where you’ll notice that there’s 1-app visibly running. A statistics app, that when you try and ‘stop’ it running, it does ‘stop’. In-fact it actually says that it’s “stopped”, but the moment you start-to do something else on the tablet; you notice that it has started again. So, you do it again, and you end-up just going-around in circles; not getting anywhere. These are the annoying parts of these devices, and the almost non-existent instructions are as good as practically useless.Now, I’m sure that with more time, I can remove this and other ‘bloatware’ that’s running in the background (as well as anything else that I‘ll just never use) to try and prevent this from happening, and also to try and keep the profiling and the used disk space to a minimum; as from scratch, this tablet is already using 11-gigabytes of data to run the base system. All computers use a certain amount of disk-space to be able-to run, but it will be interesting-to see how little you actually need. There’s 256gb there already, and for what I will use this tablet for; that’s plenty. You can also store information on theWhat I have found is that the 4gb of RAM (the buffer system which temporarily allows the tablet to do what you’ve asked, so that’s there’s no appreciative wait for the user; when it would normally just be loading all of the data) is sufficient for all of my daily requirements, from checking the odd e-mail; to streaming television shows. But when I’ve tried-to ‘increase’ the ‘virtual’ RAM memory, I find that the battery life takes a ‘huge-hit’ in performance. It could just be me, because I’ m a but blind and unwell; but the battery percentage appeared-to drop dramatically within the space of a few minutes. So, my advice is ‘leave the virtual memory function alone’ if you can generally avoid it.So, it’s generally quick enough for the average user; but I wish that the battery was just a ‘bit’ better, even with a power saving mode activated. The battery in this particular device is around 7200mAh, and the battery life in my Samsung phone is 6000mAh; but the latter will last longer because it has a screen that’s around half the size of this tablet, and it’s probably a lot less going-on in the background, too; until I can clean this tablet of its bloatware. Plus, that phone is too small for a semi-blind person to really use (this tablet is much better in that 'visual' respect) and I can only really use the phone to display videos; so, it’s not as if the phone’s battery isn’t working-hard for that to be a good 'battery-draining' assessment.Anyway, the battery in this tablet is better than quite a few in this price-bracket, but it’s by no means the best, either; as within less than an hour of first using-it, this device had consumed 20% of its total battery and all I’d basically done was to set-up the device. Sometimes these batteries 'do' need a few full-charges to make the battery work as it should, but this would be an initial worry for some one who needs-to keep this device on at all times because they are using this tablet as a phone. You pretty-much always know the amount of battery-life that you have left, and based upon your current usage, this device will also inform you as to roughly ‘when’ the battery will expire; in-order for you to be able-to either save your work and close-down, or recharge the device.You can fine-tune this device to run as best suits you, and then balance your settings, in-return for some reasonably acceptable battery-life; as that was an issue that ended my last encounter with a budget tablet, as the battery just didn’t last. I am therefore hoping that this battery lasts longer than that one; and all seems okay right now, but it’s early days. I’ve tried-to use this device as much as possible to give a fair representation of the product, but as I am now forced-to post my review a little earlier than I would have liked-to, then this is the fairest review that I can give of this product up to this particular point.The charging time is as you’d expect, and it arrived with the correct charging plug, as pictured.Unfortunately, the stylus pen was basically broken upon receiving the device, but the touchscreen is as reasonably intuitive as most of these devices are; so, this isn’t a deal-breaker, unless I cannot purchase a decent stylus pen from which to create some art; because this is the main reason for ordering a touchscreen device in the first-instance.Personally, I think that this device is surprisingly heavy, but others may disagree; but I do like the fact that this tablet already has a pre-attached case (for which I agree, is adding a little more of that ‘added’ weight) and also that this device has a 3.5mm plug to be able-to connect a ‘wired’ pair of earphones or headphones etc., as I find that wired audio has ‘always’ sounded so much better than the strangled and heavily restricted Bluetooth®, but you could also opt to use Bluetooth® on this device if you so wish.I’ve tried-to show you the basic set-up images, but as it can sometimes be a pain to photograph a ‘sharp’ flickering screen, please ignore the ones that might not be sharp, and show the lines and pixelation of the screen, (because my digital-camera is running at the wrong speed) as without being able-to focus properly, I’m as sure as I can be to inform you that the screen on this tablet really is sufficiently clear and sharp enough; as I’m sure that ‘at-least one of the images’ will duly show.The ‘set-up’ of this device only takes a few minutes; after inserting any sim or memory-cards. It’s using the latest Android 14 system, (which was correct at the time of writing) and I just hope (just like the battery-life) that there’s nothing-to go wrong. So far, so good.So, if you really need a touchscreen tablet, as apposed-to a similarly sized and priced non-touchscreen laptop, then this tablet is functional for very basic functions; from catching-up on e-mails, to watching standard, to some higher-definition video content. Add any app that you like, and this tablet is instinctively geared-to directing you to the Google Play App to find android apps; but you could obviously get your apps from anywhere else that you’d prefer.This tablet is currently working okay for me, and I’ll update this review at the earliest opportunity if anything changes.I very-much appreciate being able-to test this product; and apologies for any text or visual mistakes within this review, due-to my own visual difficulties.

Good value
Considering its very reasonable prince, you can't really go wrong with this Android tablet. In fact, I have one that cost twice the price of this, and it's hard to tell the difference between them. The only obvious difference is that this comes with few additional items, whereas the more expensive one include a number of accessories, (none of which I've used!).Setup is very easy, especially if you have another device of whatever type from which you can import all your settings, files, apps, etc. With this in mind, it would have been really helpful if the box included a USB-C to USE-C connector which could be used for this purpose. The included USB-A to USB-C is okay for charging, but I have a drawer full of those, I had to search for a USB-C to USE-C connector.
