DigiLand - 7" Tablet - 8GB - Black

I've had several cheaper tablets including the brand new $49.99 Kindle Fire and I didn't not have a good experience with that. The new fire os was buggy and just a mess compared to android lollipop which is what is on this digiland tablet. Also the kindle fire only can do amazon apps and there are major titles still missing from the amazon app store that are only in the play store. This tablet can not be beaten for value. It's running lollipop which was the newest up until marshmallow. It has a quad core processor and a 1gb of ram which I've played a bunch of games including plants vs zombies 2, angry birds 2, and a bunch of other with zero lag or problems. The screen is IPS so it's not like the previous junk tablets around this price range. Very surprised at how nice this tablet is for the price. The only downfall to this tablet is the battery life is only up to 4 hours because it's a smaller battery (2100mah), which is smaller than most smartphone batteries. But if shorter battery life isn't an issue then this is a great tablet because it has the full android play store, vanilla android with no skins on top. I'm also using a 64gb micro sd card in it with no problems, minor thing is it does not support exfat so when I inserted my 64gb exfat card it immediately wanted to format it to fat32, shouldn't be an issue as my movies are under 4gb which is the limit to fat32. The tablet has an update to make it more stable out of the box and it NEEDS an SD card in it to do the update because it downloads the update to the sd card. So first thing when you get this tablet, put a microsd card in and perform the wireless update under settings and about tablet so you don't have any issues. Speaker seems to be not quite as loud as others but can't really expect too much from this. One last important thing, this tablet supports OTG over microusb!! Meaning if you get an OTG adapter online you can plug in flash drives or micro sd cards into this through the micro usb port and see them on the tablet! Was not expecting a cheap tablet to have OTG support. Overall this tablet is excellent for the money, only a few downfalls, but for the price you can't complain.

BE SURE TO UPDATE THE TABLET FIRMWARE RIGHT AWAY BY INSERTING A BLANK microSD CARD AND NAVIGATING TO SETTINGS > ABOUT TABLET > WIRELESS UPDATE (NOT SYSTEM UPDATES) > CHECK FOR UPDATES. The tablet originally had firmware from late August 2015, and an update on November 4th, 2015 installed a ROM update dates October 8th, 2015. A month ago, I decided to take a look at the current budget tablets available, and was very surprised to see one with both Android 5.1 and an IPS screen, since the screen on my very similar (literally has an identical port layout and front camera location) Android 4.4 tablet has a ridiculously bad viewing angle. So, I got this one to try out, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much better it was in most ways. The good: -IPS screen, be sure to update your firmware so the brightness control actually works and you're not stuck at 50% brightness after boot. Viewing angles are great so you don't have to look at the screen dead on, some colors do seem a bit washed out, but it looks best to me at 100% brightness. It is also a cheap IPS panel, so expect some banding and interesting dithering patterns in some cases. -5GHz WiFi support, Bluetooth 4.0 AND GPS! I never thought a cheap tablet would have this connectivity until sometime later. -Dual cameras, all I can say is that they work, and are only acceptable enough for basic video chat, but that is true for nearly every cheap phone or tablet. -Mediatek MT8127 quad core Cortex-A7 SoC (speed is alright, don't expect amazingness), 1GB DDR3 (likely a single 32bit 8 gigabit chip like my other MT8127 tablet), 8GB storage with 2.76GB reserved for firmware and 5.24GB for you. Definitely use a microSD card with this one if you need to (you'll need one for firmware updates anyway). The bad: -NO TRRS JACK SUPPORT: You absolutely CANNOT use a headset/microphone combo with this tablet, only TRS stereo headphones (just plain old headphones or earbuds) without microphone ONLY. This is irritating because my Android 4.4 tablet that I regard as nearly the same as this one actually has TRRS support and I can use any headset on it, whereas I have to pull any TRRS plug out slightly in this tablet to even get the headphones working properly. Very disappointing. -Takes about 2-3 minutes to boot, and sometimes needs reboots to fix random glitches, but it usually behaves for a while after that. Random glitches include failure to connect to WiFi, apps not loading or failing to update, and a reboot usually works. -Battery life and charging: A micro-USB cable and 1.5 amp charger are included, but exactly like my Android 4.4 sister tablet, this one will drain you battery while plugged in and "charging" if you have the screen turned on and are really pushing the tablet. In this condition, you'll get maybe 4-5 hours of Google Remote Desktop streaming with the screen brightness on max, but your battery will drain to near zero percent (haven't experimented with whether the tablets shut off eventually or not, but both my MT8127 tablets of this style have the same issue, almost as if the charging circuit on the motherboard can't keep up). Overall, a decent entry level tablet, just keep checking for firmware updates regularly, and it would sure be nice, though unlikely, for this tablet to see Android 6.0 someday.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS 7" DIGILAND TABLET. It's worth the price. I purchased this tablet because I had read plenty of good reviews. I said to myself, this tablet isn't from Apple or Samsung, but it DOES NOT mean that it's considered a cheap or just a whatever tablet. The whole process from setting it up, downloading my purchased apps from the Google Play store, rearranging the apps on the screen, changing the wallpaper, connecting to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth devices like my portable speaker, getting to know my tablet, using the apps and to charging the tablet WENT EXTREMELY WELL. No issues at all. No lagging or slow processes whatsoever. So yeah, I recommend it! It's a great tablet!!! You can also purchase a micro SD card, a maximum of 32 GB, and insert it into the tablet's micro SD card slot to be able to move your apps, music and videos to the micro SD Card to have more space on your tablet's internal storage!!! :D SADLY, the ONLY CON about this tablet is that, if you're going to listen to your music or watch videos, YOU MUST USE NORMAL EARPHONES OR HEADPHONES WITH NO MIC, otherwise, the sound will be... not right. This tablet only allows TRS audio, basically headphones and earphones without mic, to function just fine. It doesn't allow TRRS audio, which are headphones and earphones with mic. BUT WHATEVER!!! Just because the sound may not work well if you're using headphones or earphones with the mic, it doesn't mean that the Digiland tablet is a rip-off. OVERALL, I LOVE this tablet. It's great. It's perfect. Don't judge just because this tablet wasn't made by Apple or Samsung. It's a GREAT tablet for only $50!!! Sometimes, the price of this tablet is lowered by five or ten bucks, so take advantage!!! I'm serious. TRUST ME, guys!!!

Looking for a decent tablet that isn't going to break the bank? Can't decide if you want the new amazon fire tablet or scared of buying a tablet that doesn't have the assurance of some other well known companies like Samsung or Apple? Well I can relate. 50 dollars can seem to go a long way now when it comes to tablets. I was suprised when Amazon announced their new amazon fire tablet for 50 dollars but I don't use amazon all that much and I didn't like that amazon had its own OS and app store that was seperately from Google play store. So I went and searched far and wide. I came across the RCA voyager 2 7 inch Tablet at walmart that was retail 50 but on sale for 35! I thought man that's a sweet deal. But looking further into it, the specs didn't seem to be on par with the amazon tablet. Same processor and same resolution, but no back facing camera, terrible viewing angles, and known issues with battery heating up and even exploding. I thought there's no way it's worth 35 dollars. So I kept looking. I was suprised when I saw this tablet. Digiland?! What in the world is that?! I was quite skeptical. But it was one of the few tablets that seemed to match spec for spec with the amazon fire. Same processor, resolution, great viewing angles, same front and rear cameras, great battery life (for the price). Almost identical just without the amazon OS and Android 5.1 lollipop instead! And on sale for 40 dollars. I picked one up thinking...well it couldn't hurt. To say the least I have been extremely pleased with its performance. I would say it could stand toe to toe with the amazon tablet but the brand probably scares people away. If you're in the market for an inexpensive tablet and have been debating on the fire tablet but aren't an amazon prime member and possibly have apps you want to use from the Google play store, then this is the tablet you are looking for. You wont be able to run advanced apps with intense graphics but you can watch movies on it just fine. Play games without any lag issues (other than high intense graphic games). Also great for children as it also comes in other colors and is only 50 dollars. The cameras are cheap and the resolution is not exceptional but for 50 dollars it will be hard to beat this Digiland tablet.

Inexpensive but handy, replacing phone for browsing due to large clear screen and added micro SD card memory to hold maps, documents and daily. Purchased for vacation in lieu of carrying guide book. Loaded with offline Google Maps of Germany, Budapest, Trip Advisor offline materials, downloaded City Guides. GPS worked without Wi Fi connection so G_Maps showed clearly where I was and (for saved) locations how to get there from here. A saved map of Budapest for example would show whole city , zooming down to a street and block, all offline. Arrived at destination and read city guide for history of sites, menus for cafes in Vienna, etc. Really great add to the trip, and if lost/stolen, not a big loss. Tried cheap unit years ago; slow, bad battery, limited space. Awful. This unit works smoothly , fast, and long battery life. I'd replace my phone with if it if the unit actually had a 4G connectivity. This $40 (sale) item with added 16 GB memory outperforms my phone in almost ever way; why is the phone 10+ times more just to add a cell connection? It is not a IPAD , but for its niche, a nice tool. I did download and edit free doc apps and opened office docs. Only one issue: Wi-Fi connectivity through local servers, like hotels where you have to enter their password t get on. The unit does not pop up that page for you to enter the info needed, so connectivity shown but no internet access. [I found a possible solution, though] Works great on typical home, office, open networks (and you can use open networks because this device is not carrying your life history like a phone.)

For a hi-resolution screen, large screen, high capacity storage, running big-time games, and/or HDMI interface, expect to pay $200 or more. I came across this Digiland 7" tablet while shopping for something else. After looking through the specs, with the more current Lollipop Android operating system and at a fraction of the price, I picked up 3 for less than $150 altogether and will be preparing them for 3 children under 9 years old. If they break it, it's not an issue. With the addition of a 32GB micro SD card, the kids can take tons of pictures and videos, can download current apps from the Play store for at least the next 3 years, touch is responsive, screen is bright, speaker is loud enough, and everything else is a bonus for the price. The GPS, built-in microphone, Wi-Fi, and bluetooth all work well. Running kids educational apps and games work very well. 8GB internal storage (where 4GB remains after installing updates and basic apps) is very little, but will be plenty for 40-100 kids apps loaded at a time. I would highly recommend for this purpose.

I prefer a pocket size smartphone, so I bought this tablet to use on trips and other casual uses where I needed a larger size screen. If it got lost or broken, while annoying, it would not be a disaster like it would be for a notebook or more expensive tablet. I am happy with the size. It will be easy to slip into a bag or case and not take up much room. I am not a gamer, so I can't comment on how good this would be for that except to say I think a little more horsepower and memory would be useful just like for gaming on desktop computers. All apps that I downloaded from the Play Store were happy with this tablet. I did add a microSD card to increase the storage capacity. I do own several other Android tablets so I have some basis for comparison, including a 10" Insignia along with a variety of other tech devices. Based on a few days use, it seems like a solid basic tablet and a good value for the money. I would think it would not be great as a primary computer/tablet for someone unless that person was accident prone and needed to replace it periodically. A big hesitation in purchasing was the 90 day warranty. I would have preferred a year even for a basic tablet like this. Unfortunately the extended warranty options Best Buy was offering was quite expensive when compared to the purchase price of the tablet. I may eventually buy another to use as a remote control for my smart TV.

I got this for my 2 1/2 year old so my expectations were very, very low and while this is no iPad or even Kidle its not a bad little tablet to get my littlest one off my bottom and not trying to steal her brothers kindle. Since they broke my IPad I use their tablets till I get a new one and surprisingly I've been using this one more often then his nicer kindle because it loads faster and downloads apps and video faster. How long it will last? How long till it clogs up or get infected? Who knows, probably not long at this price but for $40 who cares. My it suggestions is get a high quality screen protector ASAP. I managed to scrape the h out of this tablet all over the front within an hojr, before I'd even given it to my child. It's not glass or whatever higher products use but some kind of cheap clear plastic, so if you want the screen to stay clear cover it immediately. Also pic and video quality is sub par but again who cares, its great for a child at this price point when literally all they care about is popping bubbles and re'watchinh every episode PBS ever created so they can be like their 4 yr old brother doing his educational stuff. Download an easy parental control app and your good to go. I wish midrange tablets worked as well as this one. It's either $40 or $600 but in between sucks as bad as the $40 so if you've got a child under 6 or 8 then save your cash. My 4 year old ALWAYS gets a kindle tho after the last broken one we switched to the $50 model and other than it being slow its also an excellent cheap option. Unless your kids break them once a month its not worth buying the warranties, just backup your cloud.
