Customer Review

The tablet I have a Christmas present for my son (with an additional payment of the same I'm not Croesus) ordered. Was on the wish list:

10-inch tablet with a lot of RAM and ROM, and a good processor for gaming and daddeln. It should be able to keep up visually reasonably with tablets over 200 Euro. As a parent, I have set the price at 180 euros brake. With these criteria, the selection is very thin, if you did not count the little carelessly styled plastic parts and the below average to date equipped Tablets of nachhaften manufacturer.

Gigaset mediated initially by name quality, since you bring it immediately with Siemens. The features and performance (which I will not repeat here) make you listen. So you look for the hook on the tablet. The less good reviews on Amazon for these mainly the shaky USB charging socket and the load times or lack of to non-existent charging while using, and the heat generated by computational load.
So I ordered the tablet in time before Christmas to make it in advance to test before, so that the Christmas Eve does not end in a tragedy ;-)

Let's start with the review of the negative points. And in conclusion I must say that's true with the store. Despite 2A charger the battery will not charge when used simultaneously but gradually discharged. I tested this by simply ran at 30% brightness the music player on volume level 2 at the same time the display is. Instead of the charge increased, it has taken so about every 5 minutes to 1%. And yes: the charging light with the flash in the battery could be seen top right in the status bar so the unit was in charge. This is of course an absolute NO GO! What the developers are thinking about? Whether as a firmware update helps? But for that the manufacturer would have to take the reviews seriously and offer only times an update! This time I go not out. Also I start from a Hardwarebug who hardly likely can be resolved via software update. Also charging at off tablet or hibernation when the tablet takes a long time. Just why? Other manufacturers get down but also at the same until half-charge current. And the endurance of the battery, I could not test under real conditions of my son.

The heat development I can not confirm. That although only Clash of Clans and Real Racing 3 tried, but a noticeable warming I except where you hold the tablet and is heated by the body heat not found.
Even the partial display and criticized the jerky performance I can not understand. I see everything sharp, with me is nothing crashed and everything runs smoothly. Even if still run multiple apps in the background. Who tablet for under 200 euros at 10 inches expected response times by more than 0.5 seconds at a Lower middle class, expecting m. E. just too much. With a car of the same class can not be expected, from 0 to speed in less than 5 seconds to 100 also. I think the performance very fluid and smooth.

In all other respects that are relevant for a tablet of this class and size, such as storage capacity, connectivity, look, feel, weight, handling, display color fidelity can I find any negative criticism. Anyone who sees a 10-inch tablet as a camera replacement, makes m. E. ridiculous: This looks stupid when someone holds his Giant Tablet high to take a picture. For snapshots and Skype (the tablet has two cameras) satisfies all the quality and should not be a purchase criterion.

But what do I do now with the tablet? That's a huge flaw with the store. Especially when you consider that not the battery is charging, when used, is actually a KO criterion, if I consider the future use by my son. Let's wait for Christmas and the reaction of my son. I can send back it to 27.2.
