Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

(3.75/5) I am writing this review from this tablet. I bought this tablet mostly to use as a comic book reader and for some Internet browsing while on the couch, in bed, etc. My primary device is a gaming desktop computer and I don't always want to be tied to my desk, and I felt my phone wasn't completely adequate for the purposes I mentioned. For my uses I would say it is a very good tablet. It has a nice large 9.6 inch screen, and the colors are bright and vibrant. The overall construction of the tablet feels durable. It has a nice heft to it and feels solid and sturdy. Performance wise it seems quick and responsive so far. I haven't had issues with lag with opening apps or scrolling. I've played a bit of Fruit Ninja and Terraria and both ran smoothly. As far as playing videos it seems serviceable. I tested an episode of Narcos on Netflix and some YouTube videos in 720p, as the resolution of this tablet is 1280x800, and the image quality was as crisp and clear as 720p allows for anyway. Battery life seems to be good so far. I have been able to use it for several hours of reading and Internet use without having to charge the battery. It's also upgradeable to Android 6.0 out of the box, which is a definite plus over some other similarly priced tablets. Now as for the negatives, as I stated earlier the resolution is 1280x800, which I feel is a tad bit low for a tablet with a 9.6 inch screen. Another reviewer had mentioned being able to see the individual pixels that make up the display. I would say 90% of time, in my uses so far anyway, this has not been an issue. But sometimes, depending on the color composition of the image you are looking at you can see the pixels. Another thing other reviewers have pointed out is the sound quality. It does have only one small speaker, and it honestly doesn't sound all that great but I don't think it's as bad as some other reviewers make it out to be. In my opinion it's about what's to be expected from a low-mid range mobile device such as this. It has a 1.2 ghz Snapdragon processor, and for my uses so far it's been fine, but I could potentially see that being a little slow for some users. I also feel I need to mention that I was able to get this tablet as part of a combo deal where I was only paying around 170 USD for the tablet. For the price I paid I think I got a good deal, but I feel it may be a bit overpriced not on sale/part of a combo deal. Final thoughts: For my purposes (comic book/e-reader, Internet browsing, and a bit of light mobile gaming) it works very well. If you're planning on using this tablet for listening to music or watching videos/tv/movies a lot, I would maybe recommend also investing in a decent Bluetooth speaker, as the sound quality does leave a bit to be desired. Also another reviewer mentioned something implying their on screen keyboard didn't work until they set it up, mine was working fine right out of the box. Finally, as I mentioned earlier this is a secondary device for me, and for my purposes it works well, and if your needs are similar it would most likely work well for you also. But if you're looking for something to be your primary computing/entertainment device I would maybe recommend spending a little extra on something with a little more computing power, higher resolution, and better sound quality.
