It is surprising that for a pad which one might describe as media centric that the USB port is not detailed to the extent of including the version of the USB port which in this case is USB-C 2.0. This is important because you cannot plug the pad into a TV and watch media via a USB to HDMI cable.

The front camera is really poor. It is difficult for it to properly handle facial recognition, either to unlock the screen or for use in 3rd party apps. General responsiveness can only be described as slow, there is a noticeable lag between clicking and anything happening.

With the included charging block, no, it's really slow, but I bought two 20-watt usb c power blocks from Amazon (6.99 for two with two included USB Cables, one of those daily deals) and it charges fast on them both.

        Getting root through Magisk!
        To do this, download this file https://drive.google.com/file/d/14nWAI6wuS-VKo-dH5R0xkrJ-b-IHYHLO/view?usp=drivesdk
        to your computer.
        Switch the tablet to bootloader mode, either through the buttons (with the tablet turned off, hold down volume minus + power), or through the command line:
        adb reboot bootloader
        And flash this file with the command:
        fastboot flash init_boot init_boot_magisk.img
        fastboot reboot
        After rebooting and loading into Android, download either from 4pda.to or from the Internet the Magisk apk application. Install it, launch it and complete the setup!

          Can this device be rooted?
          If yes any links to roms and recoverys would be much appreciated. :)

            is it safe for using higher watts charger like 33 watts for this device?

              I can give review. Display is amazing, high brightness level, reading mode have 2 options, normal and paper, which illustrate book paper material. Build quality is also great, whole metal body, slim, with 3.5mm jack. Speakers are also great, not so loud and with not that great bas, but quality is perfect, very clear. Also when u hold tablet, u dont cover speakers, their position is clever positioned. Back camera is better than the front one, but both are average and perfectly fine for video call. Battery is also ok, with average of 8 hours screen on time. Performance is average, u can experience some glitches here and there, but mine is with 4gb of ram and is maybe cause of that. But everything works fine, netflix, youtube, google... Device have better display, speakers and build quality than budget ipad, im sure 100%. For this price i dont have complaint.

                                I guess nobody really wants a review so I get why they probably postponed this review.
