I was surprised by the quality for this price.

I tried to put the games Fortnite, PUBG and Call of Duty Mobile on it. All of them, as expected, fly at high graphics settings at 60 fps, but freeze for one second when a message arrives on the tablet.
Also, the Xbox ONE gamepad is connected to the tablet almost without problems via bluetooth. Almost no problem, because every 4 times or so the pairing fails and you have to turn on/off the bluetooth on the iPad. In games (only in Fortnite and CoDM), the gamepad feels great, and definitely gives some advantage over those who play with on-screen controls.

Pros

My first tablet in principle, and the second product from Apple (the first was the iPod Touch 5G). Bought with an Apple Pencil as a reader, drawer, and content viewer on the go. - Bright and clear screen - The speaker is loud, and the sound is quite good, despite the drawback described below - Nimble. I didn’t check it in games because I don’t play, but in drawing tools - Autodesk Sketchbook, and even more so in ProCreate, the stroke comes with a very small delay, therefore, drawing is very comfortable. Of course, other programs open and work without the slightest lag. - Thin screen, and therefore, when drawing with a stylus, there is no feeling that you are moving it through the air (although, of course, it can be even thinner)

Cons

- Doesn't look tough, and physically solid, because he's all so thin and elegant. In fact, it has the same thickness as ordinary phones, but because of its size, it feels much more fragile than phones, so the case and protective glass are just a must-have. In the meantime, putting it without a cover in a backpack is somehow dumb - The screen is very easily soiled, but it wipes off quickly with a cloth - Reading reviews that the sound is not very good, because the speakers are only on one side, I thought that this was somehow frivolous, and not important at all. In fact, if you hold the tablet horizontally, then the feeling that the sound is only in one ear delivers some discomfort. (ate a couple of weeks after purchase - you get used to this feature pretty quickly, and you stop paying attention to it) - Inconvenient activation of the stylus before work - I was very surprised when I saw the lags of streaming video through the browser, in a resolution of 720p (on sites like guidonline). And if in 720p, you might still be lucky, and nothing will lag, then in 1080p, from time to time there are friezes for 10 seconds, after which the tablet sort of clears its throat, quickly reproduces the missed frames, and then on a new one. This is at least strange for such a powerful device, despite the fact that my budget phone from xiaomi reproduces everything without problems. On YouTube, of course, there are no lags - Some applications are not 100% optimized for tablet screens, and also may "sin" with bugs that you will not find on regular phones
