    I bought this tablet for my two-and-a-half-year-old daughter it works great for her but when I use it it does run slow you cannot compare this to a Samsung Galaxy 7 or even 6 phone.

    It's okay. It's got a slow processor though so it cant download the latest version of android. Lags a bit when playing games and surfing the web.

    It's a basic tablet. Not going to wow many people, but if you need a simple tablet for surfing the net or streaming movies, it'll do fine.

    Tablet works fine but the store associate told me it could be updated to newer software. It absolutely could not, they should just say they don't know but never lie.

    If you're looking for an easy-to-go tablet, this one is perfect. It's very thin. It can fit anywhere. In terms of quality, i'd say it's alright since I really didnt expect much.

    This tablet seems to work fine, but it doesn't replace my phone like I thought it might. I find it easier to still use my iPhone for what I thought this would do for me.

    We are Apple users from way back. It worked well enough, but it was a little laggy. However we returned it and spent the money for an iPad mini. We're very happy.

    It runs extremely slow. It is easy to fit in your hand but definitely spend the extra money and get a bigger one

    I think this tablet is okay for a starter tablet. Had many problems with it connecting to internet and cutting out. I would recommend just getting an ipad.

    It's a big phone. You could call it the Note 10 XXXL. although a Samsung Galaxy note is nicer.

    Not enough memory

    I bought this because I was looking for a reasonably small device to read email and catch up on online articles. The form factor is great, but that is about it. The display is slow and very jumpy when scrolling. While you can add to memory with a micro-USB card, only some applications and files can be moved, not email. I returned and decided to get an iPad instead. This was my first time using the android operating system and I had no real problems with that.

    It is a bit slower than I wanted, but for the price it is alright. The sensor keep getting bumped too easily and keep sending me back to the home screen.

    Bought this as a secondary tablet to complement my iPad, but I wanted an Android device for access to Google Play apps. A little slow but works.

    Good deal but the build quality feels very cheap. Kind of a touch below expectation but still a decent deal.

    Go for a later version. This one is not up to date at all. Slow, poor touch sensibility and sub-par battery life.

    This is your average tablet. I wish the camera was better. And I wish volume was better. This is a good tablet for a small kid.
