It is going to bad regardless of the price. You'll struggle to spend £15 on apps and games that will be compatible with the device.

If only this had 3g! I'm looking for a cheap tablet that I can set up as a sat nav, but I want it to have a data connection for traffic updates (and don't want to have to tether)

Is the £15 Google credit linked to the device if Gmail account can use credit on other device if you have one and a cheap tablet for a spare though yes 1gb as everyone called huge performance issues but will be fine for some people's needs so voted hot good price OP

The Amazon Fire 7 is the same price as this and gets good reviews. On paper at least, this beats the Fire hands down for specs. Same CPU and RAM but bigger screen with better resolution, 2 x the storage capacity, better cameras, no Amazon ads and £15 of Play credit on top.
The only downside I see is the same CPU and RAM handling a higher resolution will make it a bit slower in some games.

fire OS is actually quite slim and very well optimised for kindle tablets, you can't compare them.

Yes, and it has Amazon's apps constantly running in the background. Personally I haven’t found the Fire 7 any quicker or slower than any other similar Android tablet with 1GB of RAM.
Build quality will likely be better than an Alcatel but specs wise, this doesn't 'seem' too bad for the price.

I actually agree with both posters. The Fire OS is actually a pretty nice OS fairly snappy and no obvious bloatware but I also run one with a Nexus ROM installed and I haven't found any noticeable difference between the two in terms of speed.

anyone knows what Android version on this table? Thanks

Unfortunately for anyone who sees it as a otherwise good deal, it runs Lollipop.

1GB is pretty bad but Lollipop was the Windows Vista of Android below version 5.1.1. Defiantly cold for me.

My LG G4 runs lollipop, it does everything I want it to do and runs every app fine. I will upgrade it to 7.0 when it's available but it won't change what I do on the phone one bit. Android update geeks need to get a life!

You obviously have no interest in controlling the permissions that apps have to your phone. Nobody has said Lollipop can't run apps. The majority of apps in the Play Store only require Android 2.3 as a minimum and another good chunk of them require Android 4.0.3 and above so Lollipop is clearly able, given decent enough hardware, to run most apps out there.
BUT.... It was a disaster of an OS that improved almost nothing from the previous major release KitKat, the only time this has happened in Android history. It was so badly received that Marshmallow was developed and released just a few months after it and Marshmallow really was the game changer Lollipop failed to be with improvements across the board particularly in regard to security and battery life. Apart from that do you have any idea how far behind you are in Android security patches and therefore vulnerable to far more exploits than "Android update geeks"?
Do you consider Windows updates too geeky for you to bother with since your 20 year old Windows 98 machine still does everything you think you need it to? Of course not. You would at least install every security update. Google releases Android patches every month for the same reason Microsoft rolls out monthly security bulletins. But you don't need them eh? Good luck with that and waiting for Android 7 to be released for your rusty old phone. Android 8 is already on the scene and most phones that were able to be upgraded to Android 7 are now on 7.1.1. There's a minimum firmware requirement for Android 7 and it's been out for so long if your phone manufacturer hasn't even updated you to Android 6 yet then your phone will never see Android 7. You should be able to update it to Android 6 yourself though. Should be plenty of custom ROMs on XDA that you can flash. Do that and then come back and say your phone isn't running a lot better than it is now. Spoiler alert : You won't.

Alcatel is sucks as phone(very slow processor and sucks as quality build) and the phone contain their own version of App Store which often load the adware apps. These apps are drain battery, shows ads and use pay as you go credit for data and premium sms.

Alcatel tablets/phones have such low build quality you'd probably think they were made out of cardboard when first holding one, the plastic is really light and creaky and the screen on the pixi 3 (phone) I had didn't feel like glass and could be scratched by a light tap from a finger nail, god knows what it was.
Needless to say I've had cheap unbranded chinese crap off Ebay that's been better quality, I'd never pay for an Alcatel product again no matter how good value it seemed.

Makes for a decent car GPS, but a bit slow for other things.
If yiu compate to the Fire this does about OK, the Fire screen being low resolution.
