this video was brought to you by NCIX great technology selections and service hey guys this is dimitri and welcome back to another harbor canucks review I think we can all agree that tablet serves multiple purposes with particular attention to portable entertainment and multimedia the key word here is multimedia so you can check your email watch some YouTube and play a game while you're on the subway for example many of the 7-inch tablets and below are quite affordable to fulfill that exact purpose so the question is how low can you go to meet that budget requirement for those wanting a 7-inch tablet experience that also runs Android so you guys are looking at the d2 tablet a sub 100 dollar device equipped with 4.1 jellybean a 7-inch display with a resolution of 800 x 480 512 megabytes of memory and 4 gigabytes of storage and running the whole thing is a 1 gigahertz processor surprisingly the d2 pan despite its low price is very well built it weights only 317 grams which is very comfortable to hold and the backing is rubberized which isn't exactly anti-slip but gives the d two sturdy feel all the connections are located at the bottom of the device with a volume rocker charging port USB port headphone jack and power button it's also welcome sight to see a micro SD card slot for expandable storage and they stare your built-in speaker at a very random position in the back speaking of random positions a point three megapixel camera is located in the corner which makes any front-facing chat or rather should i say side facing chat quite awkward regardless of how you hold the device for myself i found to be most comfortable to hold the device and landscape mode with all the buttons located on the right side for easy reach as it was very awkward trying to adjust volume for example while in portrait mode the do to pad features a G sensor which helps to rotate the screen based on its holding position it works well just not a smooth and during rotation I encountered a few crashes which was quite unexpected so specs wise it sounds like it should do the job given such a low res display and quite frankly it operates like an eighty dollar tablet the touch display works very well but of course it's not a smoother fluid as we've come to expect from tablets and the major issue arises with performance when doing anything online YouTube playback is practically impossible going to take you some time just to navigate to video when checking email a similar situation occurs with stuttering performance and unresponsiveness now I'm okay with the resolution simply because any more pixels the d2 pad has the process with only worse than your experience and of course seeing pixelated text would be painful for those on retina displays the real issue is the performances you cannot play the most basic apps like angry birds and fruit ninja for example without getting annoying lag and extremely low framerate apps that run just fine are available so it's not all lost for the d2 but it does make you question the purpose of the device also there's no Google Play but it has its own version of an app store called one market mobile and the good thing is that all apps are free battery life on the d two was all right with a four-cell 3,000 milliamp hour battery with about four to five hours of extremely painful web surfing and one thing we did notice was poor heat dissipation as the d2 pad got really warm on the opposite side of the speaker also an upsetting realization was the internal storage capacity while rated at four gigabytes our device had only one point one nine which is unacceptable so while it is targeted for kids and is preloaded with a few kid-friendly apps we cannot say the d2 pad is worthy of a consideration because of its poor performance the best thing about the tablet is the build quality and a decent enough touch screen but you are getting eighty dollars worth of performance which is very laggy and unresponsive so while it is a budget-friendly 7-inch tablet we would strongly suggest you look elsewhere so if you were to recommend the tablet to a friend which one would you get and why leave your comments down below and we'll see you in the next one
