The screen is large, protected by Gorilla Glass and contrasty. Videos run smoothly. Even when the sun shines you can still see details and read texts. Active with WiFi, 2 simcards keeps the battery at me as an opportunity User almost 4 days ago. After 2 days, with approximately 50% charge I close the unit but mostly to the charger.
What really draws battery power, is searching for available networks. For us here it is with D1 and D2 on the ground floor zappenduster. If the device so overnight in the kitchen, then the battery lasts only 2 days ago. The rechargeable battery is permanently installed, but absolutely top.

The 16GB of memory are not huge, but perfectly adequate. In a pinch, you can also save the data via USB OTG on a stick. The device has namely no slot for an additional memory card.

I have now learned that the Dark Side for me really is too big. I need ne's size smaller, 1 "less is my ideal getting closer. I can protect it at work a lot better against damage, yet still consider my pdf files properly.
Despite all, I give this unit 5 points, since it is better IMHO in all disciplines, than comparable devices at this price
The device there are today still buying, the price is compared to December 2013 hardly fallen.
