Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The Verizon Ellipsis 7 is a very basic device. It has all the things that people have come to expect from a tablet, but not much else. It has both a rear and front facing camera, however the resolution is quite low. The screen resolution is basically 720p. It's running android jellybean, which means that everything runs smooth without lag. The CPU is a 1.2 GHz quad core. Not the best, but it's still enough to run any game on the play store. The build quality isn't bad either. It's still plastic, but it feels sturdy. I bought this tablet on black Friday and got it for "free". The shipping was free and there was no activation fee. The only cost is the $10 a month for shared data access. Of course it does have a 24 month contract. So the total cost to me is basically $240. Not bad. The one thing to keep in mind is that this is a budget tablet and the hardware was outdated before it was even released. That being said I have two major complaints 1. The speakers have a really bad distortion when over about 3/4 volume. 2. The camera is probably the worst I've used since my first android phone back in 2009. It's pretty awful. I wouldn't use it for any kind of family pictures or events. It might be good for recording receipts or documents. That's about it. This would be a good tablet for a kid. It would also make a decent e-reader, but I wouldn't buy it for just that alone. If you can get it for $150 or under it's not a bad deal. Personally, I wouldn't have bought it at all if it weren't free. I will likely play around with it for a week or two and then give it to my girlfriend because she has an old android phone running gingerbread. She wants to play words with friends with me, but can't because her phone is too old. I hope this has been helpful to anyone out there considering this device.
