Vido T99 7" Tablet Review - a super cheap tablet

This is a very cheap Chinese tablet that can also be used as a phone. I am always surprised that these Chinese items can be manufactured and sold so cheap and even make the company some profit. This tablet costs around $50-$55 depending what website you get it from. 

The entire tablet is made out of plastic (including the screen). That means that the 7" screen will easily get scratches. The 1024 x 600 vsvga screen has pretty bad viewing angles,  and that is one of the reasons why the tablet is so cheap. 

The tablet has a 64bit quad-core intel atom processor clocked at 1.2ghz and 1gb of ram. This isn't such a bad combination and everything runs quite smooth on the tablet. You can even play games like GTA San Andreas if you don't expect the best gaming experience. 

Browsing the internet and watching youtube is a decent experience, and probably better than what you would expect. 

Android 5.1 is the os running on it and that is one of the reasons why it's running so smooth. The OS is very close to stock Android and doesn't have any pointless "features" and that is a good thing. 

Even though the tablet has a front and rear camera, the only thing that it can really be used for is video calling. Anything beyond that would give you poor results if you would want to take some kind of pictures with it. 

The 2800 mah battery will make it thru an entire day,  but this will depend a lot what the user does with it. 

 

This tablet can also be used as a phone,  and it takes 2 sim cards. There is also a slot for a sd card. Even thou it is capable of 3G connectivity, it only has one 3g band; the 2100MHz. Most likely you would have to be on 2G, depending where you are located. 2G speeds are way too slow for browsing the Internet therefore, you can only use this tablet for making phone calls and sending and receiving text messages. 

In conclusion, if it would have a ips screen it would be quite an appealing tablet for the price.
