Quote from norazi :
4GB Ram is the biggest limitation here, rest of the specs are decent for even a $100 tablet
agrees, (over sharing to help people compare) the cpu used is the same one in the recommended iplay 50 pro / 60 pro which is $135ish starting for the really nice 8.4" tablet. But those tablets have 8 gb of ram plus an 8gb of the storage dedicated for a swap file

The Samsung SM-X110 (one of the Galaxy A9 tablets) have the same cpu and the same ram and goes for $110ish. But I think 4 gb is not enough.

Now those are 8 and 9 inch tablets in the price above not 10 inch, but I am sharing what I know for I prefer something larger than a phone (like two phones side by side) and smaller than my 10" ipad so I been keeping an eye out.

what is widevine?
Thia is cut-and-paste from a Tom's Guide review:

"The onn 11 Tablet Pro has Widevine Level 3 instead of Level 1 which means that you won't be able to watch 4k content on the best streaming services."

Quote from nathansells83 :

Since 2010 google has owned a company called Widevine due to lawsuits over youtube in the 2000s, this is not a google tech but applies to streaming video all over for google allows this tech to competitors as a defensive arrangement.

and what Widevine is, having dedicated hardware and software interaction where the operating system can not capture and copy any video (storing it as a separate file) that a streaming site is sending a laptop, tablet, phone, etc if the streaming site is using a drm based format. It is copy protection.

Thus devices with Widevine Level 1 can get any quality of video, from worse to best quality. Wideview Level 3 devices, aka legacy devices and some of the cheaper newer ones, they get sub HD quality video like 480p if some video providers let's say Disney or Universal requires Netflix to do a security check before broadcasting the tv or movie show as part of their contract of having that movie on a 3rd party service.

Any more questions? I was not trying to get too techie, but also this is kind of an absurd tech and legal contract world we live in.

How is this vs Fire HD 10? (Besides the Amazon crap)
I got the $60 Fire HD10, 32GB, dual speakers, that was here on SD a few months ago and it's a great tablet. I got the Google Play store loaded and all works well. Fire tablets are known for solid hardware. http://www.wired.com/gallery/best...re-tablet/

EDIT: on sale at HSN for $76 and use the new customer $20 or $30 off. Comes with a full 1 year warranty. I dropped a 7" fire tablet that killed it a few years ago and Amazon sent me a new one and didn't want the old one back. Impressive. http://www.hsn.com/products/amazo...l/23261628

Quote from japanimator :
When did Android tablets get so resource hungry? They need 8 GB just to function? That's crazy.
They don't.

People just cherry pick the specs that have entered the non-technical realm of understanding so that they have something to complain about as laymen. The same thing happened with engine valve count on cars.

The base Android OS can function on 2GB of RAM and even less if you want to get skimpy.

The complaint from these laymen usually starts at not understanding that consumed memory is a good thing. When they see that the system has very little free memory available, they assume that it's exceeding its capacity and incapable of functioning. The truth is Android's memory management is pretty decent and functions no different than iOS or any other operating system in this regard. Free RAM is wasted RAM.

This is usually where the blame lies when people talk about a device being "slow", when in actuality, the eMMC is hundreds of times slower than the RAM.

Now, I'm sure there's some games out there that do demand a lot of memory. But they also require a faster processor and more storage, so this particular class of tablet wouldn't cut it regardless.

Good tablet. I have one. With it being on vanilla Android, 4GB is enough for the usual activities and light gaming. You're not getting flagship tablet performance for $59 obviously. Set your expectations accordingly.

Only thing I wish it had was a fingerprint sensor to unlock.

edit: BTW this tab received an Android 14 update as of a month or two ago

Quote from mgolden :
I wish. I have a Lenovo Android tablet with 4GB RAM and it's pathetically slow. (Caveat: Linux admin for 20 years so don't lecture me on reported free space. LMAO) As long as you're only using it for streaming movies on a plane it's livable (barely) but pretty much any browser usage will drag it to a crawl. I've cleaned up the bloatware crap installed on it as much as possible, but my next tablet will definitely be at least an 8GB or more.

I still stick with my statement - if you're looking for a cheap beater tablet that you don't care if the kids break then this is your jam! Otherwise, it will be a frustrating experience. Don't take my word for it, Google it for yourself:

https://www.reddit.com/r/androidt...3_edition/

But then, for a tablet selling new for $129, whaddya expect?
None of the comments in that reddit thread are about performance. There was a software update glitch when it came out that caused issues. No longer relevant.

Here's a video review, where you can see real world performance.

When did more RAM = mo fast? Big gas tank = fast car?

BTW, that Lenovo probably has a custom version of Android running 80 things in the background and all sorts of bloatware. Makes the RAM, processor, and the battery look inadequate when it is actually what they are being (unfairly) subjected to.

While this may be true, Android has one major issue that can't be fixed. I have the 2021 Fire HD 10 Plus. This thing is the biggest piece of junk. Every app runs in the background and you can't disable them from running. When I get a killing background app, and all processes are killed the tablet is great. But as they start to respawn it slows down again. I've tried to disable notifications and whatever else I can think of but this is something that causes issues with these low end tablets. I don't know how Apple does it but they do it a lot better over Google.

I wouldn't mind replacing my crappy and old Amazon tablet that was already slow when I got it. I think it was more expensive than this too.

Turn on developer options and set the background process limit to 1 or 2.
