So those were the features and specs, it's now time for my review. Let's just start with why I would not buy the Zeki tablet again. 

  1. To me, it's a fake wannabe android tablet and the reason I say this is because for me to consider an Android to be Android, it must have Google Play Store, not some weird mall or store that doesn't seem to respond or work 1/2 the time. 
  2. The mall that it comes with to purchase & download apps just sucks. It doesn't respond well and seems to freeze quite often. The only upside to this is that Amazon App Store is preloaded.
  3. I don't like how warm it can get just from charging or using the tablet, I feel like it could cook an egg, though it's probably not possible but I'm not going to attempt that. 
It is a nice tablet and isn't super laggy, but some games lag more than other. I like that it is small so it is easy for younger/smaller hands to hold. Other than that, there's not much to say. The plus is yes you can download Google Play onto this Zeki but for one it is very hard to find online and second it's illegal, don't ask me why either because I am not going there.

  2. Thanks, got a new review on another android tablet coming soon since this one broke, had to get a new one which means another review. I try to give as much detail as I can with a pro's and con's list so you can get a good idea on whether it would be something you would want to buy. It's nice to heat that this review was helpful.

  3. Your review was spot on... It did freeze up several times when trying to download game. And no Play store are you kidding me... thanks I passed your review on to others.

    1. your fully correct on that it is junk. Its not worth the aggravation. And the screen broke easily just after my review. And just from my 25 pound 2 year old.
