Not My Favorite
This tablet is a nice size, midway between my 6.4" Android phone and my 10.1" Android tablet. It charges with a USB-C cable, and not with the older micro USB, so that is a plus. The front and rear cameras are 2 megapixels each, which was state-of-the-art back in 2003, so any photographs taken are not particularly sharp and clear and become somewhat fuzzy when enlarged. Screen resolution is clear and it has a 2 gigahertz quad core microprocessor, 2 GB of ram, and 32 GB of storage, with the option of adding a micro SD card. Battery life is stated to be 9 hours. It arrived almost fully charged so I tried it out before charging it and it seemed to work fine. After I charged it to full capacity and disconnected it from the USB cable, it would not turn on no matter what I did. After 10 minutes of trying and re-reading the enclosed instructions, I plugged it back in and then and only then would it turn on. This happens every time I charge it. It does not happen when it is completely shut down and rebooted, but not charged. Most frustrating to me is that the user interface has been designed in such a manner that many icons/programs cannot be moved and set up in the sequence or order that the user may prefer. I believe this device would be suitable for adults who are technologically challenged or for small children. At first I thought the sound feature might have been defective as videos and music could barely be heard. After some digging through the settings, I discovered that there is a "booster" setting which must be turned on to have a normal level of sound. However, it sounds just fine if earbuds are plugged in and used. Perhaps the low volume setting would be good for a child who is constantly using the device and this would encourage them to use earbuds and not potentially annoy everyone within earshot. I was able to download and use several of my favorite apps from the Play Store and set them up with no difficulty. For my purposes, this tablet will be relegated to video streaming and watching my cat play his favorite "catch the fish" app.

    Perfect tablet for videos and games
    Great tablet. Just the size I wanted, with all the features I need. I was expecting this tablet to be fairly slower than a top of the line tablet. After using it to surf the web and play videos online I was very impressed how fast it actually was. Its Easy to use, picks up wi-fi very well. Picture is clear and sharp.The speakers sound good and the touchscreen works nicely. It has great storage and processor, the touch screen is also very responsive. It's easy to use the keyboard and you can turn it sideways for typing like a regular keyboard. I love that this tablet has long lasting battery, The charging time took around an hour to completely charge the device, and it came with the charging cable AND wall outlet adapter. this was really nice because most electronics these days only come with one or the other. I would highly recommend this tablet for an older child, or an adult. Also for the great price you cant beat it!

    Good for light browsing and stream videos.
    My son's tablet died and we weren't able to fix it so I looked for a new tablet for him to use on the car. I didn't want to spend too much on it and didn't really need anything fancy other than Bluetooth and WiFi capability. I was looking for a small one so it could fit in the holder I had for the previous one. This 8” is actually the exact size of our previous one so this tablet fits perfectly in the holder. It is easy to hold and has a non slipped plastic backing that seems very durable. The tablet is also very light as well. The color is vibrant and true to colors. The sound is crisp and loud for that size. I could actually hear all the words from the cartoon very clearly while the car is on the highway, with the previous tablet I could barely hear the music going at max volume. Browsing the apps and downloading is pretty fast. It comes with a preinstalled Kids Space app for all the monitored kids stuff. There is a central area where the system automatically keeps and organizes all the entertainment apps (Netflix, Disney , etc.) in one area. The battery life for the tablet is long lasting. This is good for light browsing and shopping, and is really perfect for streaming. For the price, this tablet is well worth it and doesn't disappoint.

    Perfect for my needs!
    I have to start out by saying that I am not up to speed on all the computer lingo and have no Idea what a quad core processor does or what GB ram is. I just want to know if it works and how to turn it on. And that is really why I love this tablet. The quick start guide on the front of the tablet when you open it tells me everything I really need to know. Charge the battery and how to turn it on. It was easy to set up for wi fi and to get my google account on it. It seems to work fairly quickly and will be perfect for what I need. I purchased this so I wouldn't have to use my smart phone all the time, the battery on that dies so quickly now and I don't want to spend a fortune for a new phone. Now any time I want to google something, I can just use this. I also cant wait to download some of the books and try doing some reading on it. I did play a game or two and it worked great.

    Good little investment for my son!
    This is a great investment for a 3 year olds tablet. My son used my IPad but he was so rough I was afraid he Would crack the screen. So o got this tablet and a an easy to use case and put on a screen protector and its perfect. I charge it nightly for him and it lasts through out the day. The operating system works fairly well I will say in comparison to the iPad it has a bit of a lag but for three year old hes just watchingThe operating system works fairly well I will say in comparison to the iPad it has a bit of a lag but for three year old hes just watching Netflix or playing ABC mouse I dont think its anything that is a big deal. Screen quality is nice in the picture looks great, the volume is pretty nice and the buttons are easily accessible. He was able to use the tablet like he had it forever in the first 30 minutes so its pretscreen quality is nice and the picture looks great, the volume is pretty nice and the buttons are easily accessible. He was able to use the tablet like he had it forever in the first 30 minutes so its pretty self-explanatory. Nice screen size and overall good functionality. Im happy with this android tablet and would recommend it for these purposes.

    Perfect blank slate!
    I am so happy to have found this tablet! I wanted something small that I could set up myself, and this does just that. It isn't filled with unnecessary apps or try to force me to use only certain apps, browsers, etc. The camera is good enough for "scanning" in images, and the screen quality is good enough to browse youtube... which is all I really need in a work tablet. The price point is wonderful. Great buy! I would buy again.

    Easy to use tablet
    The tablet is pretty good. Easy to use if you have any other android devices. Its just like an android phone. The tablet is pretty light so its not tiring to hold. Set up is pretty easy. Turn on, connect to wifi and exisiting google account if you have one. The screen is not glass, so it does feel a plasticky. I notice there is a slight delay in touch response. Its very negligible. You probably wont notice it all unless someone points it out to you. Overall its a good purchase for a more affordable tablet. The backing has a nice feel. The camera is okay, iphone 8 and samsung galaxy s8 have better cameras than this, but again its more of an affordable tablet.

    Powerful Tablet
    This is a very nice tablet with a lot of fantastic features. I've used the onn. 8" tablet regularly for a week and it's surprised me several times. The tablet really holds up well with a variety of notable features. I'm not used to tablets being this impressive and holding a battery charge for days. Right out of the box, I noted the tablet wasn't heavy in hand. The UI reminds me of my smartphone which is nice and home-like because I feel that I'm familiar with the tablet already. The onn. tablet isn't crammed with a bunch of junk apps that you'll never use, and it's easy to navigate with a touch. The tablet comes with a quick start guide, a USB-C + AC adapter, and three coupons for Vudo, Walmart Grocery, and buying Walmart books. Which is great, I like all three and who doesn't like to save money with discounts? Speaking of which, I love the crystal-clear quality of the tablet. The movies I stream look great and the sound is crisp with no echo or distant tone. I also read and play mobile games a ton on it. When I played my mobile games for over six hours, the game graphics remained vibrant and the onn. tablet didn't get hot. My old Samsung tablet practically felt like I was holding a steaming mug of coffee whenever I played it for too long, but the onn. tablet felt light and comfortable in hand. Another pleasant surprise is that the battery life is better than my current laptop. I can binge watch several movies and not worry about having to charge it for several long hours. The tablet has a night mode and blue filter to help ease eye strain for late night playing or reading. The touchscreen is nicely responsive and with the large screen it makes reading e-books or comic books a dream. I've only two cons with the onn. tablet. One is with the camera and the other is with the Sam's Club app. The pictures I took with the tablet came out a little grainy. Now I wasn't expecting HDR quality, but I also hoped for no grain on the outside of the picture focus. Though a slight blur filter on a graphics app can take care of that right away. The other thing is that the Sam's Club app doesn't seem to be compatible with the tablet. The app can be disabled but not uninstalled, which irritated me a little, but that's a personal gripe not reflective of the onn. tablet. Overall, the onn. 8" tablet is fantastic for everyday use. The touchscreen is responsive, the graphics and sound quality are crisp and vibrant. The tablet boots up quick when I have to install security updates or need to power it off for the night. The internal storage is roomy with enough space for your apps and files. There's a slot to add a MicroSD card if you need extra storage. I also like that it has a favorites icon to put all your most used apps on and if you hold down the power button—it brings up a sliding overlay that makes taking screenshots a breeze. No more holding down two random buttons at the same time and hoping it's the right combination to take a screenshot! I definitely recommend it. If you like using a versatile tablet with plenty of internal storage, a responsive large screen, and a powerful tablet with a battery that can hold a steady charge for long hours for streaming movies, reading books, playing games and browsing social media, then the onn. tablet is the right tablet for you.

    Great for my games
    I love this tablet especially that it has 32 gb of storage and the battery life is great. You can actually add SD card storage too. The camera is just ok, but not using it for that. I do my crossword puzzle games and my child does her learning games educational games for the kids. The size is perfect for travel and I can easily store it in my purse. It

    Nice Budget Tablet
    This is a pretty simple tablet. It's a user friendly budget option for those looking for something simple. The OS seems a bit outdated so some of the latest, more graphic heavy apps don't work on this. This is best for simple tasks - web browsing, YouTube, e-reading apps, simple games, streaming music, checking email. It's not really meant for any heavy duty gaming or large streaming services. That said, it's pretty solid for a budget tab. It holds a decent charge, it's easy to use, screen size is good and it works well for basic stuff.

    Loving this tablet!
    I am loving this tablet!!! It had everything you could want. Front and back camera, love that. It is has android so cannot go wrong to begin with. 2 GB RAM, 32 GB storage with the micro SD, that is a feature I really love2.0 quad-core processing. This tablet is 8", as seen in my pictures, perfect sized tablet. It is also very thin and lightweight, another huge plus for me. It comes with the charging cord and adapter. I set this up with the quickness because of the quick start guide adhered to the screen! The color is awesome! Did not even need the directions. What I loved most about the set up was how easily I could connect the tablet with my Google account, super fast! Setting up my email was super fast as well. It runs very fast which I need it to do. I tried several things on it to leave a better review for others, like gaming. It would make a gamer happy guys for sure! I downloaded several games to see of it responded quickly enough to be efficient for gamers, it would not disappoint you. For my needs, school, emailing and and chatting this is perfect for me! I am in love with it and would recommend to anyone who asked me about it. I in fact already have! With Christmas coming up I think this would make a great gift for those of you looking for a good one. It has and does everything you need and want it to! I hope this is helpful!!

    Basic Beginner Tablet
    This tablet is a pretty decent tablet for a beginner. It has most functions that any other tablet has, however, there are.features that are less than perfect. I encountered issues within 24 hours of setting.up.the tablet, it was a force close issue that fixed itself within the system after an update. There are minor details that I would change, I still can't do certain things like screenshot and it seems to be slower to get my emails to me. I like the tablet as a basic user tablet, good for occasional use and for photos and videos but if you use a tablet a lot, I would suggest a more efficient one. This is a good tablet for children also, as the functions are relatively easy and setup.is also easy to do. I love the storage on the device. I feel like I can have all of my.photos on the device without issue. I would recommend this for children or beginners but would not for more intense tablet users who would use this device on a very frequent basis. This is a basic tablet with basic features that.work well as long as it is kept updated but for more intense use it might struggle some.

    Amazing tablet!
    This is a great tablet! It's smooth and fast. Using the auto set-up it was done in a flash. Easy to use. It comes with some apps already downloaded like YouTube. The battery life is long! Processing time is quick. Nice screen definition. You can but a SD card and expand the memory. This 8 inches tablet is perfect size for my kid. It is skinny and lightweight, easy to carry.
