NeuTab 7" Android Tablet: A First Look/ Critical Review
First, as someone who owns 4 other tablets, I think it's extremely important to look at this (and other tablets) from an objective place.
I know that there are some people who feel disappointed from a spec and performance standpoint from this tablet but I think we should measure this against what it's selling for. Let's not have unrealistic expectations here.
This is a $50 tablet. Don't expect the Windows of Heaven to open for 50 bucks. My best and favorite tablet at the moment is my Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2/ International version which cost $730 from an importer about 8 months ago
I don't (and didn't) expect this basic/ starter tablet to compete with Samsung or any of the others that I have that costs several hundred dollars more.
You get what you pay for. But, for $50, you're actually getting a pretty good tablet that will suit someone's needs.
***
The NeuTab (2015) features:
* 7"/ 1024 x 600 display
* 1.2GHz (x4) processors
* 8 GB HDD
* 512MB of RAM
* Android 4.4 OS
* Front and Back facing camera
* 1-year warranty
Now the tablet has a slot for external storage. I put in SanDisk 8 microSD card.

The kit comes with:
* Tablet
* Micro USB cable (x2)
* screen protector
* AC wall charger
* an offer for a free case
*** Performance ***
The performance was a mixed bag.
If you have "better" tablets at your disposal, then you'd see the limitations that this tablet suffers from.
512MB of RAM is NOT sufficient. It's passable, if you're one with very basic needs: check the internet, email, texting.
But activities such as gaming and/or multitasking in business projects like an office suite, you see just how much the system will lag with such a very low RAM installed.
In the video, I show how this looks when compared to it's nearest competitor who's offering a tablet with marginally better spec's but at about 2x the price.
Game play--
Game play was good. With only slight aliasing, I was hardly aware of it most of the time while playing.
The colors, even with video files that I placed on the external microSD card looked a bit darker and shadowy when played adjacent to the other tablet. The speed of the video was excellent.
The sound was accurate. You're not getting Bose Audio quality but the sound is good and par for the course.
Camera and video camera--
Again, as you'll see in the accompanying video, that the camera as adequate. The spec's are not listed here on Amazon's product page but I believe we're dealing with a >1MP camera.
When the manufacturer says "HD" resolution. It can mean Standard definition (720) or Full Definition (1080). By either definition, the display is actually slightly less than standard definition. But, other companies have also marketed the same resolution as "HD" when the meaning of Standard HD is 1280 X 720.
That maybe spitting hairs but the resolution especially for bright, vibrant games and video playback is pretty good.
If there's anything that really sets this apart is that NeuTab designed a casing that makes finding the right buttons very easy: comfortable spacing and the markings are at a comfortable font size.
I like the N7, this model from NeuTab. For a very basic tablet, it has a lot of features and it's performance exceeded what I'd expect from a bargain priced tablet.
A Walmart superstore is just a few blocks away from me and they sell $50 tablets. BrandsMart is a few miles away and they sell $50 tablets.
Good luck if anyone can find something halfway decent amongst the POS that they're offering. I'd take this NeuTab over the junk any day.
