Review on RCA Voyager Tablet Keyboard Android by Kevin Hawkins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ok for the price

For $48 this unit gets 5 stars. I've had it for a week now, I've tested it and it does everything that's asked of me. I use External Keyboard Helper Pro to remap certain keys (mainly for ease of text processing: em dashes, smart quotes, etc.) and double-tap the power button. Although I've searched diligently, I haven't been able to root the machine, unlock the boot process, or find any custom ROMs. As such, rooted things like peer-to-peer networking and USB tethering aren't possible at the moment. You can use the Netflix app to download movies. Screen resolution allows for comfortable playback. The battery life is so-so. Make sure you use "Airplane Mode" whenever you can. I have a mini gorilla external battery and a 6" micro USB cable that basically allows the battery to hide behind the screen when the keyboard is open. This arrangement offers several hours of battery life and makes the Voyager a viable travel companion. Satisfied - it's not the best tablet, you can just fiddle around without root and the battery life could be better, but the Voyager does what it says on the tin and is priced right.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • I'm concerned
