Verizon Wireless Ellipsis 8 Review

Verizon Wireless Ellipsis 8 is a little outdated Android tablet, featuring a pretty big 8" display, an exceptional 1.5 gigahertz Quad-Core processor, and two cameras, a 5 MP back camera and a 1.3 MP front facing camera.

Verizon decided to sell this tablet device with a high speed Quad-Core processor clocking at 1500 megahertz with only 1 GB RAM which is a bit poor for a portable tablet this powerful. A good point of the Verizon Wireless Ellipsis 8 is its quite big 16 GB internal memory and an external SD slot, allowing you to store hundreds of games and apps without running out of space.

This tablet is just 0.35 inches thick, making it one of the thinnest devices you can find. The Verizon Wireless Ellipsis 8 is a very compact tablet, taking into consideration it features a 8 inches screen and it's only 8.1" long. This tablet is a bit heavy comparing to other devices , weighting 12.64 oz.

This device is equipped with a good 8 inches display with a 1280 x 800 resolution, which makes all images and movies look quite good. Its display uses LCD capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch gestures.

This tablet features wifi connectivity (although it can't be provided to other devices around, as a mobile hotspot) and 4G (LTE) high performance data connection. This tablet uses a Micro SIM card for GSM connection.

The Verizon Wireless Ellipsis 8 is equipped with two cameras, a 5 MP back facing camera and a 1.3 MP front-facing camera. In addition, the camera counts with a few useful features like HDR mode, fast burst mode and geo tagging.

The Verizon Wireless Ellipsis 8 also features a few nice features such as Bluetooth (allows communication with other tablets and accessories) and GPS, and a few sensors likeLight Sensor, Proximity Sensor and Accelerometer.

This tablet counts with a 5000 mAh long lasting Li-Polymer non-replaceable battery that provides this tablet an extremely long battery duration. An issue to take into consideration is that the Verizon Wireless Ellipsis 8's battery is non-removable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it begins to last shorter, even though with so much capacity you will probably buy a new portable tablet before that happens.

This tablet is not very cheap considering it is sold for $ 175, while some similar tablets are sold for much less than that. When buying this tablet you will also receive Important Consumer Information Brochure, Wall/USB Charger, Product Safety & Warranty Brochure, Radio Frequency Brochure and Quick Start Guide.
