I don't think that matters anyway because it takes terrible pics, especially for the reverse/selfie view
This tablet deserves only one star because of its clarity in watching videos. Other than that, I would advise anyone to not purchase this product. After much research and reading reviews, I decided to choose this item, but I am in the process of returning it for a refund.It arrived in 2 days with Amazon Prime and already the camera lens on the back was scratched. I don't think that matters anyway because it takes terrible pics, especially for the reverse/selfie view. It's the worst. It's also frustrating that the browser work a little more than half the time. I would constantly disconnect and then reconnect to my wi-fi to have the webpages loaded. Also, I downloaded Google Voice, but that took forever. I tried downloading Microsoft Office 365 onto the tablet, but I kept getting errors when trying to sign into my account without luck. And after having it for just 1 day, it no longer charges the battery. It died on me. When using it, it drains a lot of the battery and charges very slowly (if it charges). The screen brightness was tweaking too while on it. It's not worth $100+ even if it is a cheap buy. I will look into another tablet that will work functionally.If you are going to purchase this item, I would recommend that you try it out for a few days or a week to see how you like it. You have plenty of time to return it if you're not satisfied with it. I would refrain from buying any case or keyboard for it until you are sure you want to keep it. As a tip, you can also buy a screen protector at the dollar store for the trial time that you are using it.

Fast and responsive windows 10 tablet, but some serious issues related to windows 10 updates.
This is not bad tablet for the price. Having quad core CPU and 2 GB of RAM certainly helps with performance. But is also shows that Windows OS legacy is that it wasn't designed for a tablet operation. After few automatic updates some problems with on-screen keyboard went away. New apps from Windows Store will work nice in tablet mode, however the ones written for Desktop operation not so much, so your experience will depend on how you're going to use it. Since this is Intel platform, it is pretty much compatible with your typical PC and you can use keyboard and mouse and any USB, Wifi or BT peripheral with it if needed. I purchased small BT keyboard and it works fine with it and I connect wireless mouse to it (USB dongle with micro-USB to USB adapter, adapter included with the tablet) but I think the BT mouse or keyboard/mouse wireless combo would also work with it just as with any other laptop or PC. I am not impressed with battery life, but it is acceptable. You'll get at least 2 hours with heavy use, probably more with typical use. After some typical Windows 10 annoyances depleted my patience, I finally worked out following way to use this tablet and not go mad with rage:- disabled connected standby mode, it did not make battery life any better, likely made it worse- enabled hibernation and I always hibernate the tablet when not in use for longer time - this is a solid state machine and will hibernate/wake-up pretty fast, saves battery in longer run so I don't need to recharge that often- I purchased 128 GB micro SD card for it, it works and whole storage is available even though original documentation says device supports up to 64 GB.Summarizing - the device is good looking, slim and light. Acceptable battery life. Nice to have a tablet that is fully compatible with your PC (if you use Windows 10). You can stream music and movies, browse internet, device is fast and responsive most of the times. I tried Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube and all work great on it. I don't use dedicated apps for these services, just Google Chrome browser. You will have some of the typical Windows 10 problems just like you would on normal PC and some problems specific to this device. I notice some minor issues with WiFi connectivity and sometimes BT devices will not connect until device is restarted. However these issues did not cross my annoyance threshold. There is one problem that annoys me though - typically this device will turn on or return from hibernation after you hold the power button for 2-3 seconds. But sometimes it will just not do it and no amount of prayers or hitting the button fast or slow or pressing it for 5 or 10 seconds etc. would help. You just have to patiently wait few minutes and try again. Press firmly for 2-3 seconds and release. You should see 'Fusion5' on the screen, indication that device is booting up. If you don't see it after several attempts, better wait a minute and try again instead of hitting the device with hammer in a mad rage.1/20/2017After recent Windows update (surprise surprise) I have to press and hold the power button for almost 20 seconds before it powers up. Also, the tablet almost immediately wakes up from hibernation or from powered down modes when I shut it down regardless of its settings effectively keeping it powered up all the time unintentionally and depleting the battery so I can't use it when I need it. I will try to uninstall resent updates and see if it helps.1/23/2017After some troubleshooting I discovered that the problems were caused probably by the SD card. I noticed that system stopped hibernating properly. I removed and re-inserted the SD card and now the problems related to powering up and down the device are gone. I am yet to verify if the battery drain in the hibernation and powered-down modes is also corrected.3/16/2017The problems with hibernation and battery drain issues in the powered-down state are back after recent windows update. I disabled and re-enabled hibernation (with restart in between) to re-create hibernation file, re-inserted SD card while powered down (it helped before or it looked like this action helped) but nothing helped. The issue is likely related to windows system update. The SD card is visible in the system and I can access / browse folders and files so I don't think there is a problem with it. No problems are logged in system event log. I take away one star from my review due to recurring annoying issues with this tablet. Its reliability is questionable.

Super Value!
I purchased this tablet to replace an older unit that went south and I can say that I am very pleased overall. My previous tablet was a 10", so going to a 7" screen was a different experience. However, this tablet had everything I needed, is fast, a great screen brightness and the Windows 10 install was just as functional as my desktop Win 10.For the price, this tablet is a great buy - I highly recommend it!

Had potential but a no go!!
This seemed like a good tablet. Its sturdy and feels solid. Upon powering and setting it up, it started to download and install the windows updates. It powered down and never came back on. I let it set for a full day and tried to turn it back on and nothing. Will be returning it to Amazon.

Great Windows Tablet.
I purchased this so my mom could have a smaller tablet than her Surface to carry around. She does well with it as it matches the Windows system she was already accustomed to and it's been working well on the road.

Good Value at a Fair Price for a Little Miracle
This is a nice little Windows 10 Tablet. Purchased this as a front end to our home Bluetooth enable Stereo Receiver 2.1 Speaker system. Will be used to create playlists for music. Also to cast Netflix Movies to our TV via a Miracast dongle on the TV.

Fails to boot after just 4 months
After just 4 months it now will not boot. Gets inaccessible boot device. After contacting the Fusion5 company they emailed me the next day and had me ship the tablet back for free repair, I just got it back and works great.Thanks

Decided to return, not good enough (8")
I'm afraid I found this product disappointing and because it was intended as a gift I decided to return it as it would have been a little embarrassing to give something not up to standard.The positives are that it has a vanilla installation of Windows 10 without any junk, its performance is adequate, the screen is a good size and the sound is not bad at all. In addition the weight and portability of the tablet is good, although a little heavier than an iPad mini if that is what you're used to. I should also say that the construction feels robust, which is better than I expected at first sight.Unfortunately there are issues. The screen quality is very poor. It is not so much the resolution but the general rendering of colours and fonts, which often look blurred. By comparison my 6 year old iPad mk1 looks much better. The touch interface is not as responsive as we have come to expect. So comparing it with a typical Microsoft Lumia phone, the Fusion5 8" response to touch is unacceptable. I found the Bluetooth to be a little flaky but the Wi-Fi connection and speed was as good as I get on a laptop. I don't know why a tablet needs to have two cameras, just the facing camera for video conferencing is what I was looking for but the 2MP specification (true or not) is bad. Again a low end Lumia phone will give you better Skype video calls.Finally although I said earlier that the product is robust, but it does suffer from quality issues such as the edges of the plastic not fitting perfectly or the edges of the plastic mould where the parts were cut being visible.If Fusion5 improved the quality and screen, plus added a good webcam for video conferencing, I think people would be willing to pay a wee bit more because there aren't any decent Windows 10 tablets at 8" in the £100 to £200 range.

A good little tablet that's also good value for money.
One star removed because of the lack of anything even remotely resembling documentation and to the delivery driver leaving it outside while there was somebody in all day and never heard a knock.Other than that I'm very pleased with it! It is a generic tablet, made in China and badged and sold by a number of different companies - which means there are lots of helpful forums on t'internet with lots of help and advice available.Good solid feel to the construction, but not too heavy for extensive e-book reading (or watching TV) in bed, a comfortable size to hold (one reason why I went for an 8" over a 10" tablet.) Battery life is acceptable, nothing spectacular but neither is it any worse than all the other 8" tablets out there. I have no idea about the quality of the camera, but my 16MP camera is a lot more portable and has a zoom lens, so I'll probably never use the on board one. The on board speaker is ... well, it's an on board speaker. Sound quality through headphones and earphones is crisp and clear, sideways pressure on the connector can cause one channel to go silent however. So don't lean on the connector. I hadn't used the onscreen keyboard much before writing this review, however I can now say that it's very useable and not a problem at all to use.In short, for its intended and designed use it's a cracking little piece of kit. The Atom CPU handles the day to day tasks fine, almost never feeling under pressure unlike my old Celeron-powered Asus EEE.No regrets about buying it, I think it was money sell-spent and, should anything happen to it, I would be very likely to replace it with another of the same.UPDATEWhile watching a Youtube video last night (28/11/16) the headphone socket died. After only ONE MONTH!! The onboard speaker still works and the earphones still work when plugged into my phone so the fault can only be in the socket itself.

Reasonable for the money
For what your paying your getting something okay not great just okay but keeping in mind the price that's fine.One thing to watch out for is that it is set to desktop mode out of the box not tablet mode, you must change this via the settings.Also be prepared for a lot of updates to come down the pipe which may take a few days to install due to the staggered update system windows uses and the slow nature of the Intel Atom CPU.Getting a micro SD card is a must and be sure to set in the Windows settings that the default apps/pictures/video etc is on the SD card otherwise the internal storage will fill up very quickly, this will also happen during windows update so run disk clean up utility to free up the temp space.You can improve performance a little by installing the Intel driver update utility from their site, this will scan the system and install newer GPU drivers,as I said a very small improvement.Fine for browsing and playing videos, Kodi is on the Windows 10 Store and works great (needs all Win10 updates to do this) though Kodi is also set to desktop mode, it has a tablet skin in it's settings.Battery is not that great maybe 3-4 hours.So yeah a very low cost x86 Win 10 tablet that works alright if thats what you need.

Surprisingly good - and it supports USB Hosting too..
Early days yet - but looks solid enough, Windows seems to be working OK..This will sound a bit geeky, but just wanted to confirm that this device supports USB Hosting.I was looking for a small tablet to power and run a thermal USB camera for a project - and took a chance on this since i didn't know whether it could power an external device, this it does superbly from the micro USB slot - despite it's size.Physical dimensions are 206mm x 122mm x9mm.The unit is sturdy too - no flexing, should stand up well long term..No complaints at all and will definitely consider buying more - excellent value..

Pleased with the product in a controlled, not over-demanding way ...
Quality more than commensurate with price. It does everything that claims to do fairly well. Eventually. No problem though as I wanted it for fairly basic use and Windows 10 performance is very acceptable.One thing that does concern me is that, having gone 5 times through the cycle of topping up the battery for up to 10 hours and then discharging it down to <15%, it now tells me (on a full charge) that it is good for 3 hours 45 mins. Will take that with a pinch of salt and see how it goes. I am curious to know what is one supposed to do with the spare battery that came in the box when the tablet is practically impregnable. Wouldn't dream to open it now that is new but what happens when the old battery gives up the ghost?.
