[@gavincoughlan1499]

Form factor of the A7 lite is perfect. Got it yesterday. Spotify, movies, comics, reading, browsing.. all work flawlessly. Would thoroughly recommend

[@QuickExpertReviews]

Which one did you go for 32GB or 64? WiFi or LTE? Agree on the size

[@gavincoughlan1499]

@@QuickExpertReviews 32gb wiFi... I'd use the tablet a lot but wouldnt really be gaming on it. So far it has been perfect for my needs. I think we all agree with the size being great. Far more likely to reach for this every day than one of the bigger tablets. Obviously if you need a powerful processor etc this isn't the tablet to go for. But I'm delighted I got this and suits my own usage

Does it have the same bad viewing angles that the 10inch A7 had

[@gergelyszigeti5340]

Finally, a review shows the device in real-life situations and not only telling about its hardware or display and how "sluggish" it is. I've already tried the same 3GB wifi model on display in a big retail shop chain. I could only browse the net and watch and listen to youtube videos, could see the build quality of this device. Looked quite impressive despite its low price. Your review revealed a lot more aspects of how useful this device is (for example, I didn't know it could be used with a keyboard/mouse just like Apple devices). Now I'm sure I'll buy it. I also liked the clear explanations and cool tips in your video (and as a Hungarian, I really like this kind of British accent you have, I could easily understand every word you've said :) )

UPDATE AFTER ONE MONTH: It is okay for for causal viewing of KZbin videos, email, and web browsing. There is lagging but if I need speed for power-using I just switch to my Samsung Galaxy s21 5G. The color rending on KZbin videos is quite different from my phone. It is really good for viewing things since my phone has a small screen. The only thing I dislike is that with the Fintie slim cover it is heavy. When lying down using it my hands hurt holding it up and it can slip and fall.

[@darrylwoodbury]

My carrier was giving this away for free if you added a tablet line so I jumped on the offer. It's nice to see it'll work perfectly for what I'm going to use it for (streaming music, movies, web browsing, reading). It's supposed to be coming today and I can't wait!

Does Skype works on this tablet? Can you confirm me that Skype can turn on loudspeakers? There were tablets (like Lenovo Tab 4) that had stereo speakers, but Skype couldn't used them, but instead it just used top speaker like a phone (with reduced volume), and give no option to switch to loudspeakers.

[@r1273m]

Interesting review. I'm looking for a replacement for my old 2014 HUDL2 and this looks promising. The screen size is about the same but more RAM and storage though the resolution is not as good as the HUDL (1920 * 1200). I don't play games, I use the device for reading the news in a morning, checking emails and social media. My main computing work such as photo editing is done on a large screen desktop PC. Is there anything better at this price?

[@hoyoversekindasucks]

Probably nothing better at the price

[@JustAnotherKyd]

@@hoyoversekindasucks or at the size even. There’s such a big gap in market in this segment. The only other 8” right now is the iPad mini 6 which is a beast but has jelly scroll. I’d gladly pay twice the price of the A7lite or more for better specs

Got mine at Costco. Took it back the next day. What a heap of junk. I only got it to bridge the gap between the new ipad releases... My 8 year old ipad wasn't getting any more updates. But as a fill-in for just a couple months, it was pretty much useless at that. Comes with the memory already half full with the Samsung junk on it. The Samsung has the card slot but doesn't let you access the SD card. Apparently it's shut off in the US which I didn't find out til later. Pixels were very noticeable, like looking at a jumbo screen at a sporting even through binoculars. ONLY good things were the speakers on both sides and the case that Costco gave away free with it. Worked very well to prop it up in landscape mode. Probably OK for kids if it's a gift

[@dakotaconcepcion5398]

Worth an upgrade from a galaxy tab A 8.0 2019 edition ?

[@QuickExpertReviews]

You'd be getting a bigger screen, better speakers, faster octa-core vs quad-core processor, Bluetooth 5.0 vs 4.2 but it all depends on what you use yours for. If you just use it for office use on reading books, potentially not worth the upgrade, but if you use it for media consumption, gaming etc then the upgrade is well worth it.

[@puch-chanstory6021]

I would like to answer your question as an active user for over 5 months. 1. The battery runs out very slowly. And of course, it takes the same charging time. 2. If used for reading e-books, watching KZbin and playing games that don't waste a lot of resources, it won't lag. But if you use more or open 4 or more apps, it will start to slow. I use it to read e-books and watch KZbin. (Sometime i drawings easy cartoons) Personally, I'm satisfied with this price. But I want to have 4 RAM / 64 ROM if there makes it out for sale. Hope you like it :)
