Exceptional battery life
I really like this tablet. I bought it as a replacement for my old Nexus 7 and have been pretty impressed so far.
There are several downsides which I'll talk about though... The OS is filled with crapware that I don't want and there is no way to uninstall it without effectively rooting the OS and installing Google's stock Android instead.
The 16GB space is pretty paltry and the OS and installed eats that up leaving you with maybe 4GB of space at best. Whilst there is the ability to use a microSD card, the problem here is that the OS downloads to the device first, and also, some apps can't be moved to the microSD, so you're left in a situation where you buy a big SD card but can't use it.
The biggest issue we've had is that, for some reason, the screen simply cuts out and won't switch on unless we slightly twist the tablet. I thought it was a fault with this particular tablet but my wife has the same problem with hers, and she bought it in Spain, so it appears to be a wider issue.
The battery life is really really great. We've been able to watch hours of video, and games on it and it never got lower than 20%. The Kids mode app is actually quite good and keeps my son entertained in a safe environment, although there are a few features lacking which make it frustrating (such as the ability to hide certain apps like Youtube Kids when there is no Internet connection).
The screen quality itself is good and overall it's a good price for what you get.
