display

8-inch IPS LCD, 189 ppiAt 189 pixels per inch, text and images on the 800x1280 screen look reasonably sharp at normal reading distance, though fine details will show pixelation if you hold it close.

performance

MediaTek MT8168, Cortex-A53 quad-core 2.0 GHzThis entry-level ARM processor handles basic apps, video playback, and web browsing without struggle, but will stall on demanding mobile games or heavy multitasking.

storage

32GB or 64GB eMMC, microSD expandableeMMC 5.1 is slower than modern UFS standards, so app launches and file transfers will feel sluggish compared to faster tablets; microSD slot lets you add more space cheaply for media.

battery

Up to 12 hours claimed battery lifeIn real-world mixed use (reading, light video, some apps), you will likely see 8 to 10 hours of screen-on time before needing a charge.

camera

2MP rear and front camerasBoth cameras shoot only grainy, low-detail images suitable for basic video calls or quick reference shots; do not expect usable photos in anything but bright daylight.

connectivity

Wi-Fi AC, Bluetooth 5.0, no cellularWorks fast over home Wi-Fi and connects reliably to wireless headphones, but you cannot use it away from a network unless you buy a separate hotspot device.
