1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,160
the state of Android tablets is deplorable barely anyone that matters

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:11,599
even still bothers to make them and they're so far behind apple's ipad in

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:15,360
basically every way that matters that i wouldn't blame people for

4
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:18,960
not even knowing that they exist and the consequence of that is that for

5
00:00:17,199 --> 00:00:23,359
the ones that do exist you basically want to spend as little as possible on

6
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:25,920
them while still getting good enough performance for the things you want to

7
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:30,720
do because remember low price does not always equal good

8
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:35,920
value so if you're in the market then for an inexpensive device that you can

9
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:40,239
like use to watch movies in bed or look at recipes in your kitchen or to a kid

10
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:43,360
to run off with and smash around i mean i'm not giving them my note 9 that's for

11
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:48,719
sure so today we're going to be taking a look at walmart's 10 inch entrance into

12
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:55,039
the budget Android tablet market and determining is it even worth 80

13
00:00:52,719 --> 00:01:00,000
or should you just pony up double for the reigning incumbent best-selling

14
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:02,719
cheap Android tablet the amazon fire hd10

15
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:11,040
oh no that's fine that's just the box

16
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,720
so i think the first thing that i want to know is what exactly is it about this

17
00:01:17,119 --> 00:01:23,360
that makes it a walmart tablet this just looks like

18
00:01:21,439 --> 00:01:28,080
they took whatever chinese tablet they could find and then

19
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:33,360
they put this sticker on it that entitles you to twenty dollars of ebooks

20
00:01:31,119 --> 00:01:38,479
from walmart ebooks well i think they did slightly more than that because this

21
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:43,280
is actually walmart's in-store brand oh it's the same brand that of the tv the

22
00:01:40,479 --> 00:01:48,399
tv yes oh okay but different than the laptops and desktops that's the

23
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:50,799
overpowered brand okay so then walmart

24
00:01:48,399 --> 00:01:55,200
just either doesn't employ very good graphic designers or they went out of

25
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:59,360
their way to make this look i think so cheap is that an expectation management

26
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:02,640
strategy for sure like you want a box that attracts the type of customer that

27
00:02:01,119 --> 00:02:05,360
this appeals to if the box is super premium looking i might not even look at

28
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:11,280
the features of the price because i expect it's out of my price range got it

29
00:02:07,759 --> 00:02:13,680
okay so it's 10.1 inches it's got a 1.3

30
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:18,959
gigahertz processor 2 gigs of RAM 16 gigs of storage and a claimed battery

31
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:23,760
life of five and a half hours now that's not a huge battery life claim

32
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:27,599
no it's really not but if that's screen on time it's also not entirely

33
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:31,280
unreasonable well this one here by contrast

34
00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:34,720
claims 10 hours which is double that but this is kind of better in almost every

35
00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:40,480
way except for the RAM which is the same it has more memory starting at 32 and an

36
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:45,280
option to go to 64. this is really not a very impressive display even just aside

37
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:49,760
from text being kind of blurry like when i have a web browser open

38
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:54,000
you can see here even just basic app icons have kind of a fuzziness

39
00:02:52,560 --> 00:03:00,080
to them and that's because it's only running at 1280 by 800 resolution worse

40
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:04,400
than that though is that there's a really really big air gap like it's been

41
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:09,360
a while since i've seen one this big between the panel behind and the glass

42
00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:13,760
on top so it kind of feels like your finger is floating above the icons

43
00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:16,560
you're trying to hit as opposed to actually touching them now with that

44
00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:20,640
said the actual responsiveness of it is far

45
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:26,640
from the worst i've seen this is running Android actually a pretty pure Android 9

46
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:29,920
while this has amazon's os on it that's a smoother animation for sure though so

47
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:33,360
that's a bit of a double-edged sword because you've got all the amazon junk

48
00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:37,840
preloaded and you have to side load your Android apps that's right there's no

49
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:41,200
google play store in here but this one's not perfect because you can see there's

50
00:03:39,519 --> 00:03:44,720
an extra button here beside your multi-task and home and back button

51
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:50,480
what's that button look like a walmart a walmart logo what happens

52
00:03:48,319 --> 00:03:54,959
oh thank goodness i have a dedicated button to shop at walmart walmart

53
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:59,360
grocery sam's club open up voodoo and walmart's e-books of

54
00:03:57,439 --> 00:04:02,480
course which i get 20 of credit for thank you

55
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:07,360
okay so this is me trying to put the volume down

56
00:04:04,799 --> 00:04:11,680
and it's going up and i would think that the left side is intuitively down yeah

57
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:15,840
but if i let's check that out if i rotate it

58
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:22,079
down down up down is up and up down wait wait

59
00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:26,320
i get it now the volume button it's not designed to

60
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:30,639
be used like this it's designed to be used like this

61
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:36,400
so there's your volume up and there's your volume down it's right there at your thumb so your palm could just

62
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:40,880
accidentally turn it off yeah no i'm not saying i support this this ergonomic

63
00:04:38,479 --> 00:04:45,199
yeah i'm just saying that's what it is oh that is not

64
00:04:42,639 --> 00:04:51,759
hd that sounds awful oh my god that doesn't even look like

65
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:54,560
like hd like i'm talking 720 hd okay

66
00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:58,000
let's compare the sound though that's a lot better

67
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:02,320
easily twice as good give me that one again

68
00:04:59,919 --> 00:05:06,560
not as loud no and it feel it sounds

69
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:10,400
vibratey Anthony hopkins does not sound like that

70
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:14,400
i love you my sons no it's day and night yeah day and night

71
00:05:12,479 --> 00:05:17,919
so that's a clear victory for amazon what's our next step then well we can do

72
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:22,080
a gaming evaluation but here's where it gets a little tricky this one uses the

73
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:26,479
amazon app store the only one that was on here was mark okay so i got pass mark

74
00:05:24,639 --> 00:05:30,240
on there and we can run the benchmark side by side so i went and did some

75
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:33,600
chores for a bit and you're done oh i've been done for a

76
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:39,360
while and by your done i mean i'm done some of these tests don't seem

77
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:41,840
that bad like the 1.1 gigabytes per

78
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:45,520
second of uh storage speed wait oh no that was memory

79
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:52,400
31 megabytes a second we might as well

80
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:54,320
be running off an sd card it's literally one

81
00:05:53,360 --> 00:06:00,320
tenth the storage speed like never mind half

82
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:04,400
and that makes a big difference on a device like this but what about the

83
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:07,919
camera oh let's see who can take the greatest

84
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:11,759
picture of this uh tabletop gaming stuff here oh my

85
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:15,360
goodness maybe it'll be better once it actually gets to process it so here's my

86
00:06:13,759 --> 00:06:18,560
processed image it's really not any better than the

87
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:22,400
viewfinder wow so i'd say there's some over sharpening

88
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:25,840
and this is a little bit too saturated but it's definitely better okay so it

89
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:31,199
sucks but the question at the top of this video was is it good enough like if you can pay

90
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:35,440
less is this one good enough to get done what

91
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:40,240
you want to get done i would say for

92
00:06:37,759 --> 00:06:43,919
the discerning customer no i would either pay the extra for this

93
00:06:43,039 --> 00:06:48,880
one or i would just step down to a smaller

94
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:52,240
amazon tablet knowing that i'm at least going to get a reasonably color

95
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:58,479
calibrated screen if it ran netflix without compression

96
00:06:55,840 --> 00:07:03,120
artifacts all over the freaking place i'd say yeah at half the price i'll just

97
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,919
save the money because the build quality of it while not exceptional by any

98
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:10,240
stretch is it's not going to fall apart it's it's

99
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:16,160
it's robust enough that you could toss it onto the couch with confidence

100
00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:20,160
it's just not good enough that i could recommend it as anything other than a

101
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:23,919
secondary tablet for the kids and i would personally take the compromise of

102
00:07:22,479 --> 00:07:28,000
a smaller sharper screen over a larger one that

103
00:07:27,039 --> 00:07:33,120
just isn't good enough and it was funny because when we did the amazon video

104
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:36,560
we're like yeah this thing's not great but apparently it's not the worst

105
00:07:37,759 --> 00:07:42,960
good job jeff so thanks for watching guys if you disliked this video you can

109
00:07:54,160 --> 00:08:00,080
