Insignia™ - Flex Elite - 7.85" - 16GB - White/Silver

The 8" Insignia Flex Elite The good: Screen Form factor Thin Light Zippy processor 2GB memory The bad: Speakers - do you like listening to music in a tin can? 9GB storage out of the box - has an SD card slot, but beware that you may not be able to transfer apps to it. The ugly: Battery - screen brightness at 40% gets me maybe 6 hrs (I'm being generous) if no gaming and/or watching videos. No software updates - won't even connect to server to check for any updates If you don't mind the lack of software updates and the poor battery, then this could be a good tablet for you. I, personally, can't get past it.

I 1st got this tablet in the summer and almost returned it because of the battery drain. After the update...Greatness! Netflix works, and battery problem is fixed. The screen resolution is excellent and it is fast. I have over 200 apps installed on this thing and no lag. I watch Showbox on it and it runs smooth. Don't get me started on the thin and lightness of this tablet. I have an Ipad Mini 4 and this is lighter. I had a love affair with Samsung for years, but the prices for their tablets are outrageous. At $150, this has the resolution and enough power to take anything you throw at at. Great for college kids and the grand kids, and older folks.

I love my insignia flex elite. It fits perfect for what I wanted

I was looking upgrade my kids Nexus 7 2013 with a device that had expandable memory. This one fit the bill. 2K screen. Glass screen with super clarity. Plenty bright. The CPU is not a major brand cpu (used on new chromebooks) and is equivalent to the processor found in the Nexus 7 2013. It has lollipop and the OS is pretty much stock OS. I ran Geekbench and the numbers were perfect. The build quality looks high end. I highly recommend. It looks like this is on sale now. Pretty awesome.

I really enjoyed the high resolution and excellent graphics of this tablet I bought on Friday 2, Oct.. at the Best Buy in Pentagon City. Unlucky me, the fun was short termed: Last monday (Oct.27) the tablet refused to charge or even turn on. Feeling really sad about this because I went to USA as a tourist and can't reach your service.

At thr price this is one of the better Android tablets out there. Screen is amazing. Only issues are a low battery life and it doesn't want to let non-system apps use the SD card unless the card is formatted NTFS. Still it has the closest to stock Android Lollipop outside of a Nexus, and no ridiculous bloatware.

I bought this tablet during a flash sale back in December for $89. I decided to buy it after seeing the price and specs in an email sent to me by Best Buy. The 2048 x 1536 resolution is right up there with iPad's and Samsung screens. I wanted a tablet for reading eBooks and wanted more functionality than a dedicated e-reader such as a Paper White. The screen resolution combined with the 7.85" screen gives a pixels per inch of over 350! This ensures that the text is super crisp. Most tablets under $200 have a resolution of 1280 x 800 which provides about 180-ish. many of the newer galaxy tabs have resolutions of 1024 x 768! On a 2016 tablet! Terrible for the prices they charge (not just Best Buy, all retailers). I had been using a Galaxy Tab 4 8" but the ppi was too low and the text appeared so jagged that I ended buying this tablet to replace it as my main e Reader. The tablet is light which makes it easier to hold for longer periods of time than most tablets and e Readers. The housing is made of aluminum and is attractive and has a nice tactile feel. It comes with a SD card slot which can handle up to 64GB of extra storage. Why Apple lovers put up with not having expandable storage is beyond me. You can get an iPad with larger amounts of storage, but you overpay for what you get. A fast 64GB SD card can be had for under $40. There are two speakers in the back side of the tablet. They sound tinny, much like a cheap transistor radio back in the day (sorry young people, a radio is a...google it). You can listen to audio books but forget music. I use a blue tooth speaker for 99% of all my listening needs, so not a big deal for me. It has the usual earphone plug. I have read some people have had trouble with the earphone jack, not me. The battery life is poor, about 4-5 hours of watching movies or 6+ hours of reading. For me, not a big deal. I have an Asus Zenpad S 8" and a Samsung Galaxy Tab S for movie watching. I do not read for more than hour at one sitting, so again, for me, battery life is not a big deal. Game players, you will want to stay plugged into a power source. It charges fast so I just plug it to a charger when not reading. This tablet plays movies with no lag time whatsoever. Again, not my main reason for buying this, but the clarity is noticeably better than lesser resolution screens. Unless you are watching the same movie right beside and AMOLED or retina display screen, you will not notice anything lacking in this tablets display. The colors are not as vibrant, but you will not notice or care if you are watching a movie. While surfing the web, it is fast. Pages load quickly. I recommend that you buy this tablet as a back-up or a main e-reader. It so inexpensive enough to give to the kids and not worry about them breaking a $400+ tablet. It will do what you want for a lot less money!

If your looking for an inexpensive iPad mini clone this is a great one. It's the same size has the same looks at half the price. One good feature is its expandable up to 64gigs. Resolution is great very light and sound is good. Very pleased so far with performance.
