Lunchtime review of Eken T02 7″ Android Tablet for €88

Posted on by

This quick n dirty video covers most of it, but in summary:

Pros:

  1. It’s €88, in total, including EMS shipping
  2. Android ICS
  3. Capacitive Screen
  4. Full Android Market
  5. HDMI/USB/SDCard
  6. 1080p video
  7. Strong GPU for all games
  8. It’s €88, in total, including EMS shipping
  9. It’s €88, in total, including EMS shipping

Cons:

  1. Screen is only 800×480
  2. Touch can be unresponsive at times
  3. CPU may struggle on heavy-duty games
  4. Some current strangeness with Android Market means apps incorrectly absent
  5. Upgrading OS a bit fiddly
  6. No Bluetooth

I got mine on Pandawill.com. Took approx a week to arrive. Make sure to setup an account first before using PayPal to buy. I didn’t and never got any confirmation email from them that order had even been received.

Did I mention that it’s €88, in total, including EMS shipping?

  1. Great review Conor, thanks a million for that. We already have an IPad2 and an Asus Transformer 1for the two older kids, but I think that approaching XMas we’ll pick up two more tablets, for the two younger kids. Amazing value. In fact I am very tempted to get one for myself for when I am out shooting wedding videos. Nervous to bring a 400+ euro tablet out with me in case it gets damaged, but I’d happily bring an Eken out with me. Maybe the IPad sized one.

    The big question though (and your daughter may answer this), will it play Moshi Monsters!! I presume it has full flash enabled browser?

    Again, great review.

  2. 4 of these for the price of one iPad!

    I just tried Moshi. It works but I wouldn’t recommend it. You can’t pinch-zoom on Flash and the screen is too small/low-res for fine-grained finger touch so you constantly tap on the wrong thing. That’s the reason I think I’ll stump up the extra few quid for the ones with the higher-res screens.
