Great Tab!
Phone owned for less than a year

It's a great tab for a mid-end device.. i had the wi-fi only version, and it's great! but it's kinda slow.. well i like it and with android 4.4 kitkat, this thing can use multiuser experience! it's kinda slow when you're switching users.

Best tablet for media consumption only
Phone owned for less than a year

This is best for media consumption. I own the one with calling feature. I hardly use that feature but it is handy.
The display quality is great. It sounds very really great.
Ram is 1.5 GB and it never hangs but surely it lags sometimes.
It is just beautiful to feel the tablet.
Camera is waste. Forget about quality. Front facing camera is OK.
Battery is excellent.

Great Tablet
Phone owned for less than a year

Love this tablet. It comes with all the bells and whistles. Great for watching videos, and the speakers are good. This tablet is really nice. I would recommend this tablet highly. Had the Toshiba thrive and this tablet is much better.
