Good tablet at a good price

I have the 8" T290. If you understand what you get for your money, this tablet deserves five stars. No, there is no maximum processor speed or screen resolution. This is a budget tablet at a really good price (especially if you snag it on sale) and you get a lot for your money. The display has a resolution of 1200 x 800 pixels, which is HD, but not Ultra HD. What matters most for the legibility of on-screen text is the pixel density. The 8 -" 1200 x 800 display has a pixel density of 180 pixels per inch (PPI) and that's not too bad. My 6th Gen Kindle Paperwhite has a pixel density of just over 210 ppi, so this tablet isn't too far off the mark. If the fine print is hard to read, you can scale the fonts and the size of things in the settings. The display also has good colors and contrasts and is reasonably bright. The included blue light filter app doesn't have as many options as I'd like, so I added one from the Google Play Store. Speaking of which, with an Android tablet (and this one comes with Android Pie) you have full access to the Google Play Store. The sound is much better than I expected and could be improved with a third party volume booster. And I think an 8 inch tablet is just the right size. A 10.1-inch tablet is too bulky for me and a smartphone is too small. And such an 8-inch tablet fits in the back pocket of men's trousers.

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
