Each part is rated on one scale for every tablet, from reviewers' measurements (battery tests, brightness, benchmarks) where they exist, what reviewers found, specs and owner reports, including after-sales service. It rates the tablet itself, not how good it is for the price.

Pros

  • Very long battery life in their tests (over 14 h browsing, 19 h video)
  • Well-made, light metal body that stays cool
  • Keeps its speed under long load, no throttling
  • Accurate GPS, LTE option, microSD and headphone jack
  • Fairly bright screen for the money
  • Solid build and laminated screen
  • Quicker than most small budget rivals; light games run fine

Cons

  • Slow 15 W charging and no charger in the box
  • Only 60 Hz and low pixel density; just one colour mode
  • Thin, bass-free speakers
  • No fingerprint reader; weak front camera
  • Only 6.75 h in their max-brightness video loop
  • Pixels visible when reading; 60 Hz only
  • No DeX and no pen support
  • NotebookcheckFeb 2024

    A tidy, light 8.7-inch tablet with long battery life and steady speed for its class, held back by a 60 Hz low-res screen and no pen.

  • MyNextTabletMar 2024

    One of the better small budget tablets thanks to its build, decent speed and long update support, though their battery run was short.
