Technically, this is not a lightning war:
It only has 8 GB of memory.
Certainly, the memory is expandable SDHC card but only by limiting the size of files to 4GB. Warning: this may cause problems if you will be using to view HD videos. The SDXC card support is not, for me, a big flaw for tablets whose internal memory is so low since it prevents simply viewing a movie in 1080p and can even cause problems for some films in 720p.
Its definition is good without more (768 x 1024 pixels) but sufficient in view of the size of the screen. More than its definition, this is its poor contrast that penalizes this screen. The display is just average, the sun it gets bad.
Its autonomy is rather low, its processor (1.2 GHz) is average with only 1 GB of RAM, version of Android not very recent, low internal méoire (8 GB with between 3 and 4 available, knowing many of the games can not install on SD card * /
The touchscreen lack meanwhile some responsiveness and precision.
In short, this is well below the remarkable Google Nexus July 32 GB (2013).
We have to do there at entry level product, ie a model that made many concessions on embedded elements such as quality of displays, storage and embedded processor. And it shows: it seems that this product already has one or two years.
So, I was very disappointed side photo and video (for a low price, is trimmed on sensors).
I find the sound very poor even with headphones.
Its only real advantage is having a 8 "It is significant that it is even there Gigaset was very smart.. By positioning itself on a market entry in expanding: 8 ". But that does not seem enough.
We can consider this product for a use more basic, knowing that we finally may be disappointed, but not without making a comparison with Clust CL4C07 IPS tablet (screen 7.9 ", internal memory: 16 GB) for a hundred euros or 8.3 gPad LG V500 Touch Pad 8.3 "1.7 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 16GB that can be found within 250 euros and supports SDXC cards.
I can not recommend buying this product, which should its 4 * as his sweet price for a tablet 8 ".
That said, in terms of price / quality ratio, I find the new Acer Iconia A1-830 Touch Pad 7.9 "Intel Atom 1.6GHz 16GB Android 4.2.2 very superior. Certainly it is not free of defects (support only microSD, a little heavy.) But it is much more powerful (as the processor level quau graphic level) has a brightness and a much higher contrast, good sound and its passage Android 4.4 is already announced.
It was expected, from Gigaset, to otherwise most successful products. While the brand is German, but the design and manufacture are 100% Chinese (we learn on the internet that this tablet is "after a panel of reference products from a Chinese plant").
/ * Added 14.05.2015: Count-With the evolution of technology, this tablet really is lagging behind compared to its current competitors resulting in a downgrade in rating 2 * * /
