A 10-inch Android tablet for $150? Let's check this one out
0:05
[♪ Music ♪ & Sound Effects ♪ ♪ Dave Taylor here, and I'm checking out this
0:15
This is the Dragon Touch Max 10 10.1-inch tablet, and it's pretty darn nice
0:21
It's running Android 9, so as you would expect, you can get all that Android goodness
0:27
and it's really kind of like using a phone, just with a really, really big screen
0:32
And it's a 10.1-inch display running at 1920x1200, so it's a bit better than 1080 HD, and it's a pretty clean picture
0:41
So let me go to the gallery, and I'll just show you a quick photo here
0:48
And you can see it actually takes nice photos, too. I'll come back to that in a second, but it's a nice, big, bright screen
0:56
and perfectly functional, certainly for the younger members of your audience or your family
1:02
Dual speakers, though they are just down at the bottom, so it's not great sound, but it's functional
1:10
32GB memory, you can get it in 2GB of RAM or 3GB version
1:15
The difference is really, really minuscule, so I'd recommend the larger one
1:20
And you can put up to 128GB microSD card in here, too, to get more storage
1:26
That's helpful. So, it is a 1.6GHz octa-core processor, and it's not lightning fast, but depending on what you're doing
1:38
how fast does your actual tablet need to be, right? If you want to just launch your Kindle app or something, you can see things launch reasonably quickly
1:48
and it's maybe not as fast as the new top-end Samsung tablet, but it's also vastly less expensive
1:57
It features a 5000mAh battery that'll give you about 10 hours of use when you are not actually..
2:05
Let me go back here. It gives you about 10 hours of use, depending on what you're doing with it
2:10
It's running Android 9 Pie, so not Android 10, not the very, very latest
2:15
but still a nice modern version of Android with a lot of good features, including night mode
2:21
So that gives you the ability to have less blue on the screen automatically
2:27
so as it gets dark out, the tablet doesn't mess with your sleep cycle
2:31
So that's actually pretty handy. Easy to turn on in settings. It features 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi support
2:40
so that means that you can use either of the modern Wi-Fi systems
2:45
though it does not include Wi-Fi 6, but if you're running Wi-Fi 6
2:49
then you probably are getting one of those $600 tablets, because it's really cutting edge
2:55
Let's see. Let me give you a quick tour of the edges. So on the top is the charging port
3:01
It is USB-C. Good job, USB-C. Such a non-fan of micro USB
3:08
On the left side, nothing. On the right side, the classic Android buttons of power and volume up, volume down
3:16
And on the bottom are the two speakers, as I said, the cutouts for them
3:21
And camera-wise, it has a forward-facing and rear-facing camera, and I thought, hmm, let's try some pictures
3:28
So here is a selfie. And so that's the forward-facing camera, the one that you would use if you wanted to do a video chat, for example
3:38
And you can run Skype and Zoom and all of those other applications right on this tablet
3:43
so it's great for Grandma, right? And then on the rear-facing camera, you get a little better resolution
3:49
That's an 8 megapixel. Here's an example photo. And it's pretty crisp, and I thought, all right, well, let's see what it's like with a video
3:56
So here it is, the trash man emptying my trash can. So it is, nonetheless, a good video example, and you can see it's clean and crisp
4:07
And this was at high noon, so the lighting was pretty worst-case scenario
4:12
So one of the other things that Dragon Touch does that's really great
4:16
is they don't include all this junk software on here. This is really all you have, and, you know, that's it. That's all the apps
4:26
So there's no ads, no bloatware, no folder full of random junk that you have to delete
4:32
So really props to them for that. And it includes access to the entire Google Suite
4:38
So do not worry that somehow you're going to end up getting a tablet from China
4:44
that actually can't play in the Google App Store or anything, right? That's a different manufacturer. That's not these guys
4:50
So you can go here. You can go into the Play Store
4:54
Everything will work just as you would hope as it would from, honestly, an American manufacturer
4:59
Although, are there any American Android tablet manufacturers? Hmm. So be that as it may, this is not about politics. This is about technology
5:10
So this is the Dragon Touch Max 10 tablet, and I'm pretty impressed
5:16
This is a really solid option if you want just an entry-level tablet
5:20
or you want something that's really low cost, still gives you a nice big screen
5:25
You can watch movies on this from Netflix. You can certainly read books on your Kindle
5:30
You know, this could be a really great way if you have students
5:34
that are suddenly finding themselves actually doing everything online. This could let them look at texts or textbooks or read their textbook
5:42
while on their computer they're actually doing like a live video chat with the rest of their class
5:47
So lots of use cases. This is really great for the younger set
5:51
though it is not particularly ruggedized. There's nothing particularly tough about it
5:56
in terms of it being ready to handle your three-year-old tossing it around
6:01
Probably not recommended for that. In terms of a case, you're going to end up having to get a generic case
6:07
because they don't have their own case line, though the edges are a little bit sort of rough edge
6:13
so it gives you a nice grip. So it doesn't feel like it's going to slip or anything, which is nice
6:20
And so then the only thing left to talk about, what are we even looking at here
6:24
Oops. Well, we're looking at nothing. So it obviously has the standard Android security
6:33
So if I do that, then I have to enter my PIN. Give me a second. I will enter my PIN
6:40
And so there we go. So now it's unlocked. So the only left to talk about is the price
6:46
But before I get to the price, let me ask if you can subscribe to my channel
6:50
I'm going to invite you to subscribe to my channel. Let me phrase that differently. I really appreciate when you can do that. And it helps us stay in touch
6:56
And I get access to a ton of technology. And I'm a straight shooter
7:00
I will tell you the good, the bad, the reality of every device that I get my hands on
7:05
So you can make your own smart purchase decisions. That's what this is about, right
7:10
So thank you for subscribing. This is the Dragontouch Max 10 tablet
7:16
And it is $159.99 at its higher end configuration. You can check all of it out and look at the options at dragontouch.com
7:26
They're also available on amazon.com. But as of right now, they were out of stock
7:31
So you'd have to go to dragontouch.com. The good news is free shipping. Woo
7:37
So I think we're all kind of getting used to that anyway. But definitely an option. Definitely something to look at
7:43
It's not going to win any performance awards. And it's definitely a bit thick and heavy for its size
7:49
But the price tag is pretty hard to beat for a 10-inch HD tablet
7:55
So one worth checking out. And with that, I'll catch you in my next video
8:01
