I bought this tablet mainly for watching movies in my bed or reading my phone wasn't an ideal size. And thanks to manufacturers strong arming customers, modern phones now lack expandable storage and headphone jacks. Both of which are nice if you don't want to fiddle with Bluetooth in bed or hope a streaming service has what you want to watch.In my opinion tablets now are in an awkward place where they're only really useful for fairly narrow cases where a phone is too small and a laptop is too big or cumbersome. Which means it's hard to justify for myself purchasing a Samsung Tab S9 for $800+ or an iPad for $350+. In contrast you can purchase this tablet which is on sale all the time for less than the cost of taking a family of 4 to Applebee's.The tablet itself is actually very nice, unlike cheapo no-name Android tablets of 5 years ago, the iplay mini has a solid 1920x1200 IPS panel. It's not as nice as my S23 Ultra sure, but it's miles better than the garbage dim 1280x800 displays you usually get at this price point. It works great to read books, my only minor quibble is the IPS display can't get nearly as dark as an OLED can, but it's not bad either. It even comes with a film screen protector installed, which is a nice touch. Build quality seems good to me, it's almost all aluminum. Performance is... Fine. It's not going to be running Switch games on a emulator, but it plays lighter games ok, and most importantly it doesn't feel sluggish to use. I was skeptical that the "virtual ram" would actually do anything, but it does seem to let the tablet keep a number of background applications open after you enable it, more than you could with just 4gb of RAM. So, it seems to actually be useful after all. In put in a 512gb microSD card loaded with movies, old games, books, and music and pulled out my old corded headphones and have been pretty happy.In short, for $69 (it's on sale for that much all the time, don't buy it when it's listed for $89) you get a tablet that'll do nearly everything a tablet that cost 5X as much does. As long as you're not looking to run Genshin Impact or Switch emulation this is probably all you need for when you want to use a tablet.

I have an IPad and wanted to try an android tablet. Bought this because of the price. I won't compare the two as there is too much difference due to price expectations. Instead I will focus on the gotchas I ran across. I thought about returning it several times due to the gotchas and finally decided to keep it as I worked through them.Gotchas1. Battery life. At first it seemed very poor, going dead in just a few hours. I realized the tablet came with brightness set to max. After I turned downed the brightness, the battery was much improved. It's still a little weak but workable now.2. Wifi connection. It would repeatedly connect to my 5GHz router stay connected for a few minutes and then lose connection. The only way to reconnect was to power cycle the device, only to have the problem repeat itself. I then connected to the router's slower speed 2.4GHz connection and the problem went away. This was a little disappointing, but I use it OK with the slower speed connection.3. Phone and Sim card. Just sticking in a SIM card didn't work for me. I was trying to connect to Tracfone network using a SIM card I bought at Walmart. I had to call Tracfone technical support and they helped with the setup. I get very poor reception with Tracfone, however I generally have that problem with most carriers where I live. Only AT&T seems to provide me with good reception at my home, not sure why. I will try an AT&T sim card and see if it is any better and update this report. Anyway Tracfone works fine in other locations, just not where I live.4. Game graphics speed. The game graphics are slow and this is not the tablet for heavy gamers with high graphic requirements . I have one game where the background screen whizzes by and it's a little messed up. It doesn't affect the game, but you get the idea. I am not a heavy gamer so this was fine with me.5. Snappiness and virtual RAM. It came out of the box fairly snappy. Just bogged down a little. I increased the virtual RAM from default (4gig - 6Gig???) up to 12Gig. The device is now much snappier and I am very happy.Conclusion. It's a nice device, outstanding if you consider the cost. Just be prepared to work through the gotchas. There is some talk about spyware built in. I don't know anything about that. If its true I may reevaluate my opinions.
