Verizon Ellipsis 8 Review
Score: 50.8 / 100Verizon Ellipsis 8 is a mid level Android device, coming with a quite big 8-inches screen, an extremely powerful 1500 megahertz Quad-Core CPU, and two cameras, a 5 MP back side camera and a 1.3 megapixels front camera. Great! That's it? Not at all, it's just the introduction of a much deeper review.
Verizon didn't seem to put much effort to reduce weight in this 12.64 ounces tablet device. This tablet is quite a compact tablet, taking into account that it packs a 8 inches screen and it's only 8.1 inches long. The Verizon Ellipsis 8 is slim and stilized, with a thickness of just 0.35 inches. This tablet is for sale in color 16 777 216.
This device is equipped with an average 8 inches screen with a 800 x 1280 resolution, which makes everything look quite nice.
The Verizon Ellipsis 8 is equipped with an exceptional Quad-Core processor ticking at 1.5 GHz and only 1 GB RAM memory which is a little disappointing considering its impressive processing power. The Verizon Ellipsis 8 counts with aquite big 16 GB internal memory and an external memory slot, enough to store hundreds of apps and games without any trouble.
This tablet features two cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back camera and a 1.3 mega-pixels front-facing camera.
This tablet provides WiFi connectivity (but it can't share it with other devices acting as a hotspot) and LTE (4G) fast internet connection. This tablet works with a Micro SIM card to use GSM services.
This tablet features a big capacity 5000 mAh Li - Polymer non-replaceable battery, enough to provide this tablet with an amazing battery life. An issue to evaluate is that this tablet's battery is not removable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it begins to last shorter, although with its 5000 mAh you will probably discard this tablet device before it becomes an issue.
This device also features some interesting features as Bluetooth (enables communication with other bluetooth portable tablets and accessories) and GPS Localization, and a few sensors likeLight Sensor, Proximity Sensor and Accelerometer.
Verizon sells this tablet for 250 dollars, which is a high price for comparing with similar portable tablets. Verizon sells this tablet with Wall/USB Charger, Important Consumer Information Brochure , Quick Start Guide, Product Safety & Warranty Brochure and Radio Frequency Brochure.
