I've had this tablet for 11 years and stack in the Android 4.2.2 version it is finally giving up on me. Consider this if you are thinking of somehow acquiring one from a seller on the cheap:
Most popural apps like the Youtube app and modern shopping apps are no longer compatible with the tablet. In simular fashion the browsers versions are outdated lacking security, and lots of websites (especially those with embeded videos) are broken, do not display correctly and videos do not load at all.
Terrible camera for nowadays. Was badish even when it came out.
Even if you manage to find proper games it can still play on the app store, the tablet is overheating if the game is somewhat demanding.
Long battery life, which is great because my tablet has developed a problem thus when it runs out of battery the moment the battery gets back some juice in it, the tablet goes on a reboot loop instead of booting properly and I have to fix it by performing the recovery reboot (by holding down the volume button and the power button as it reboots until I manage to access the menu, in case anyone else has this problem). Also the charging port has become finicky so connecting it with a device is a chore.
I mainly use the tablet to write short stories on writing apps, and read ebooks. It has served me well but it is at the end of its circle.

long battery life even after six years using it from 2014 till now. good speed. Though camera is not good and sometimes not able to download important google playstore apps. still i like it and looking for its body to change as my daughter smashed it on floor a little damage occur on one corner and a small scratch on screen.
