One has to accept restrictions on the quality in purchase

The rapid 10.1 tablet of Chinese manufacturer Dragon Touch now I have to test some time. This raises the question of how the exuberant at first glance facilities for this price is at all possible, especially usually cost Tablets competition multiples thereof.

Preliminary note:
============

A clear presentation and reasonable font sizes are important to me, a display size of 10 inches is for me therefore a minimum requirement. The frame around the display is black, the back of the tablet forms a white, smooth plastic surface, can not be avoided when the fingerprints are. The tablet fits comfortably in your hand, but with 561g no lightweight. The operating system is Android 4.4 KitKat is preinstalled.

The scope of supply apart from the actual tablet includes a mini USB cable and a separate charging cable. The enclosed printed manual (more than leaflet Manual) is not available in English only, however, so that the first steps still easily fall with many color illustrations.

My personal highlight:
======================

is the mini-HDMI output (NB .: I have a 5x so expensive Samsung tablet, there I miss this connectivity painful). So that I can connect the tablet with my large flat-screen LCD TV. Requires this is only one cable Mini HDMI to HDMI. It goes well with an appropriate adapter (about 3 EUR) and a regular HDMI cable. I look for example, often games of BBL on telekom-basketball.de. And then in large and absolutely without jerking (see also below operating speed) to be able to enjoy, is simply awesome. In practice, this is also my main purpose this Tablets.

What I have liked:
=======================

The operating speed leaves no wish unfulfilled. For a quad-core processor (4x1,2 GHz), 1GB of RAM and a more powerful graphics processor worry. Also on the computing power ago demanding 3D games run smoothly and smoothly, as well as video and other streams. This is certainly the point at which the tablet can most points, because especially in the lower price segment is normally saved here.

At the sensitivity of the display surface there is nothing wrong. The operation works well, both in the menus and in games is what the screen well and reliably to touch. Integrated is also a motion sensor, useful for example for racing games with tilt control.

Positive are also the numerous connection options on the right side of the device with additional symbolic label on the rear panel. Mini-USB and a headphone jack are yes, of course, the additional mini-HDMI output for connecting the tablet to a TV, however by no means. Furthermore, a MicroSD card slot for expanding the memory is available.

Recharging the battery is done via its own port with the included charging cable. The mini-USB port will not blocked when loading, so stay still usable. The AC adapter charges the internal battery with a charging current of 2.0A, which, as usual, takes several hours to complete (depending on the remaining residual capacity). In normal operation, the tablet usually had with me after about 3 to 5 hours back to the grid, I think this is a good average.

The connection to the Internet is established via the known wireless standards 802.11b / g / n. The reception in the house, I have no problems, though my wireless access point is located one floor below. The initial set up was done in a few minutes. After a scan, the found wireless networks are displayed in the area, then enter only the access key and the connection is established. The tablet also has Bluetooth. Thus, for example, external speakers or a keyboard with the device can be connected.

What should not go unmentioned:
===========================

The screen resolution is 1024 x 600 pixels with the lower limit for a 10.1 tablet. It is in my eyes just enough, individual pixels are visible, however. So if you value on a high resolution display and such is used by other devices here, will not be happy with this tablet.

The plastic screen (no glass!) Is naturally prone to scratches. A corresponding protective film and / or a suitable case I can therefore only strongly recommend.

The tablet has no integrated GPS module. Can not necessarily expect in the total price, but it should be mentioned here for completeness.

Of the officially 16GB memory (with my tablet version) are the result of the way just about 9GB available. These in turn are subdivided into 2 different sized blocks of internal memory, which can cause problems with the runnability very large apps in my experience. This should be kept in mind.

What I liked less:
==========================

The display has only a relatively narrow viewing angle, are not distorted within its contours and colors. Due to the limited viewing angles should be as straight as possible look (top) on the Tablet. Who expects a device with an IPS panel, is here definitely wrong and you should look elsewhere.

The camera (s) are the weak point of this tablet. They are available, but provide the best will at best barely usable, definitely below average, results. There is nothing more to say.

Even with the built-in speakers was saved. On the rear panel mounted a bit inconvenient anyway, they provide only for relatively thin sound. Alternatively, you should resort to an external Bluetooth speakers or headphones.

Conclusion:
=====

One must not make the mistake of wanting the Dragon touch tablet with this country popular brands tablets of the middle class, for which you then however already has put on the table 2-3 times compare. A comparison with premium Tablets bans anyway by itself.

This tablet is in my opinion suitable for usual everyday applications, sometimes quickly check emails, do some research on the internet and of course to play and watching videos. You have to make compromises and be willing to accept the benefit of the doubt very reasonable price (for a 10-tablet with quad-core processor) otherwise compromising this tablet but.

Ultimately, a relatively large amount is offered for this price and depending on the application is also this tablet fans and buyers can find. It is still true: Quality has its price. Those who expect more must pay more.

In the overall picture, I forgive 3 star, mainly because of the very attractive price-performance ratio. I think this tablet will polarize. Some might have been waiting for such a price breaker for a long time for those who here offers a buying opportunity. Who, however, certain demands on quality and features, will have probably already otherwise oriented while reading this review.
