Review on πŸ“± Coby Kyros 7-Inch Android 4.0 4 GB Internet Tablet - MID7047-4 (Black) – Enhanced Multi-Touch Widescreen Technology by John Roberts

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Cheap but not what I expected

This tablet is cheap I know. It was bought for my 4 year old godson who has never had one so I figured it was a good choice. I was wrong. This product has many flaws including the screen. You actually have to tap it for it to work (unlike other tablets where you just gently swipe to get input. The second issue is that this table is supposed to have 4GB of onboard storage, but when checked at the OS level , it only gives you 1.3GB for free, which is pretty bad for other types of users. It doesn't come with Google apps (not even Google Play), so installing new apps is a headache (I really thought I should write something more descriptive here ). Rooting and Installing These Apps Manually After Google Play was installed, I was able to get it to "work". However, rooting is not an easy task for normal end-users, so please think about it before you buy this tablet. My last Comment: For a kid who will probably break in a few months, that's just "ok". Stock up and invest in a better device. You need to root it for it to work properly. :)

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Annoying
