   Akaso R7X I bought the Akaso R7X with the expectation of receiving a cheap tablet, i am typically not a person to settle for something cheaper, i have expensive Samsung screens, Asus and Samsung 120hz monitors.-PerformanceThe performance of this tablet is actually very good for it’s price point, Antutu Benchmarked an average score of 11780, in comparison an ASUS Transformer prime scores just over 12400 and that is a $320+ tablet. The Google Nexus 7 tablet scores only just above the R7X, a negligible difference, most of what you’re paying for is the screen in both of those devices. In real world applications, i had a podcast running in the background while reading a PDF transcript, while switching between Office SuitePro 7 and my college school app, i occasionally had to open the browser to copy text for reference, needless to say this device has plenty of power to run multitasking apps. I tested 720p, 1080p, 1080p 120fps and 4000 resolution videos, the 720 did fine, 1080p did great aswell, the 1080p 120fps video ran at 92fps, meaning the hardware hit it’s limit in bit rate streaming, most BluRay are 60fps so this device can perform BluRay standard quality in video streaming, the 4k video file was unwatchable, however my Nexus 7 can’t play it smoothly either.The amount of memory available is about 520MB as the JellyBean OS uses a good chunk of memory compared to the previous ICS, it is more likely you will hit the RAM limit of this device before you experience any real multitasking performance problem.The browsing experience is nice and fluid on this tablet, in fact i find it to be a better experience than my Nexus 7. It is important to note that Adobe has cut flash support for android devices in JellyBean (Which the R7X runs on) If you download the Dolphin browser you can still access some flash content, however embedded videos will not play, there are alternative browsers with a forced built in flash but the quality is not there.-ScreenThe first thing i did when i got my tablet was look it over for issues and defects, because the screen is the majority of user interaction, from visual fidelity to touch sensitivity. The touch sensitivity is good, accurate and keeps up with games and applications i tested.The screen is between “moderate” and “ok”, you will find quickly that the maximum brightness is rather low in my opinion, but still enough to be vibrant in an Indoor-sunlit area. All of the colors are very nice and clean however the blacks have a minor wash out, nothing you really couldn’t look past and the whites look like a grayish paper tone compared to the Samsung displays.One of my worries was the clarity of the display, i can say with confidence that this display’s clarity is suitable for most anything, because i read a lot of Japanese text it is important that i can identify small strokes in Kanji, which i can do with this.-BatteryI am not taking a star away for this, the battery takes quite awhile to charge and under heavy use this tablet will start warning you of low battery after about 2 hours, that’s rather short lived (Please note, “Heavy use” is defined as using more applications and features simultaneously than the average or even super user) watching videos that do not require WiFi, music or just casual web browsing will give you a good 4 to 6 hours, having the brightness down half way when not using the display (such as for music) or having the display off with music in the background can yield even more time, but be wary the battery life is enough to complete one or (big maybe) two movies streaming.The cost to performance for this tablet is unmatched, If i were on the fence between the Nexus 7, the Asus Transformer or anything of the sort, you will be much happier with this tablet and that extra $100 to spend on other things, or even a second tablet, if i have any alternate recommendations, it is that a 9 or 10 inch screen would make a better experience in my opinion.-Things to consider*I recommend the Dolphin Browser instead of the one they have preinstalled, it will enhance your experience and negate any feeling of poor performance the stock browser may give.*Find an “App Killer” on the Play Store when you get this tablet, there is no way to kill processes and this will run your battery down in standby mode if left on, plus it will eat the memory quickly.*This tablet supports my 32GB HC Class10, i was able to transfer at around 17MB/s using USB 3.0 through the device.I would recommend this tablet to anyone, as long as you don’t set your expectations ridiculously high, you will actually be very surprised at how powerful and well done this tablet is.

   Reviews may be falsified! The reviews on this item may be falsified. I purchased this due to the great reviews. In reality what I found was…1) Poor quality display – Horrible viewing angles, you have to hold it straight in one position for good viewing. The color saturation (which is what make colors pop) is just terrible. My kids thought I was playing a “knock off” Angry Birds game since it looked so low quality and different.2) Extremely slow – When you click a program it takes forever to load. Seriously, it’s like stepping back to the year 2000 when you were used to waiting for everything to load. Not acceptable these days. Plus it kept crashing due to the horrible speed of the tablet.With all that said, I would recommend this tablet as a toy for a child IF it falls under the $100 price. However by then I’m sure there will be much better $100 tablets.With the current price it is a waste. You are better off buying a 7″ Google Nexus which is what I’m buying now! I reached the conclusion that its better to have 7″ of a fast tablet with a great display than 7″ of a piece of junk.I hope this review helps save you from a waste of time buying, hating and returning this thing.

   i hate it This is the crappiest tablets I’ve owned and I’ve had a few!! First when u pull it close to u the videos turn really dark so u have to push it away to watch. Then u can only put one notification in the status bar. The sound isn’t all that great either. Needless to say this is going back and I’m not going to pay the return postage either because I wanted to cancel the order but it was too late. Don’t buy this product!!
