Just a warning I guess.
I've had a couple of products from Alcatel and every one of them has been the most cheap feeling crap I've ever used, especially the pixi 3 phone - it was so light it felt completely hollow, the removable back barely had enough grip to clip to the rest of the device, it also creaked like mad and the screen didn't even feel like glass, the touch on it was so awful at picking up presses that it was almost like using a resistive touch screen.
You'd be better served getting a used Nexus 7 or something akin to the Asus memo pad, far better built products than whatever... this is.

And different price bands is exactly why some people buy a Ford Fiesta and others buy Lambos :wink:.
This is a perfectly adequate tablet for kicking with around on the sofa. Browsing the web doesn't need a 12 core CPU and 8GB of RAM :wink:.

I think anyone looking at 'tablets' in this price range essentially need to accept that they are not truly in a position to own a tablet just yet.
We all have limits based on our financial position, there are things I would like but have to accept I cannot afford, though obviously I'm thinking more along the lines of a Ferrari :smiley:

Poorer quality screen, worse CPU and less RAM than the Nexus 2013.

I'm waiting for 2gb ram in this price range. 1gb is simply not enough.

Depends what you use it for i guess :smiley:
It's a decent price range for a 16GB plus £15 voucher which can also offset the cost, if you want to sell on of course.

If you ignore the £15 play credit I recommend the BEISTA Quad Core 9.6 on amazon.
2gb ram, 800p, 16gb storage, micro sd card support, fits a sim card, great battery.
I have no problems 2 months in and it was fulfilled by amazon so they cover warranty etc.

Are these specs better than a Nexus 7 2013?

Couldn't agree more regarding the CPU and RAM, but what about a great screen, useful speakers and something that actually feels nice to hold and use.

And also that if all you're used to is low-end but perfectly serviceable tablets like this, without having a comparison point you don't really miss what you don't know. Like when people say 'oh with 1080p, you don't know what you're missing on 4K', well, no I don't as I don't have 4K to miss it (we do have 4K TVs but nothing that outputs 4K to it)!
