Review: Good Kindle alternative - Bought for Rs. 3300 in Prime Day 2017 sale (about a month ago). For that price, it's a decent Kindle alternative: 4-5 hour reading time, about 1.5 hours to recharge. It's a good PDF reader with WPS Office or Foxit Reader. Web browsing with Chrome slow but decent. Build-wise, it's not heavy, about as much as a Kindle. But it is fairly large, so using it with one hand might not be possible (not an issue most of the time). Speakers are not too loud, so use headphones. And of course, it's an Android device, so you can install Android apps (but not heavy games because of the 1GB RAM and 8GB internal memory). You can expand the memory with an SD card (but I haven't done that). Overall, it's made to be a Kindle competitor. It's pretty good at that, especially at a low price point.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Good product but beware of cons
*by A***3 on 11 January 2017*

Cons: terrible display terrible battery backup can't use bhim app or WhatsApp as there is no sim, changing is very slow have to carry a power bank, very very reflective fingerprint magnet screen Pros: can't really complaint about the price it's very cheap and good tablet. Good RAM management, no lag at all, supprts otg, surprisingly good camera with no auto focus. In box screen gaurd, touch response good, good hardware, front camera also ok,. Recommended but display is so bad that you can't look into it for very long . As i have bought it for reading pdf files it's painful for me. But found a solution. If you enable developer mode (by pressing build no 7 times) then developer option>>simulate color space>>monochromatic then your display turns into black and white, after that you can easily read files for longer period. It also consumes less power.
