UMIDIGI G1 Tab mini Android 14 New Tablet 2024, 7(3+4)GB+32GB 1TB Expand, Wi-Fi 6 Model, 8 inch Tablet with Quad-Core Processor up to 2.0 GHz, 5000mAh, Dual Camera, BT, 1280*800 HD IPS Touch Screen

I've only had this a couple days, and it has yet to reach its end user (my dad) since I'm still setting things up, but so far I'm very pleased! It even came with a simple rubber case and seems to have a screen protector already installed. I'm setting it up to be an ereader for my dad, and so far so good! I was particularly happy to see ZERO BLOATWARE! I had settled in to uninstall all the candy crush and other nonsense games and things that often come preinstalled on devices, only to discover...there weren't any! Just all the usual google apps. Now, I don't expect this to stand up against, say, the latest samsung tablet, and neither should you--not for this price. In particular I suspect it would struggle with having multiple apps open and running things, so I've made sure to regularly close everything as I worked setting it up. But it's worked smoothly and without any real delay so far, even as I've installed multiple apps at a time and downloaded books. Again I'm just planning for my dad to use it as an ereader (I even disabled youtube), so I wasn't looking for a powerhouse by any means, but I'm impressed nonetheless. As far as picture quality...well, I'm no videophile. It all looks perfectly sharp to me and will certainly work for reading. I haven't tried the sound, either via speaker or headphones, but you don't need anything fancy for audiobooks. It IS a little heavy, fair warning. And it's thicker than most tablets, so the "universal" case I got for it doesn't quite fit. But I don't think it will be hard to find one that does fit, just stick to the ones with rubber bands rather than hard plastic clips on bungees. The storage space is getting eaten up a bit fast, but there's a micro sd card slot so I foresee little difficulty with that. (knock on wood, of course!) All in all a solid tablet at a reasonable price point!

Umidigi is a brand known to deliver value at very affordable prices, and there are plenty of examples across their lineup. The Bison, F Series, S Pro Series, and the newer A15 and A15 have all demonstrated that Umidigi has come a fair distance forward on hardware design, camera implementation, and customization features. That said, if you're familiar with or have owned any of that hardware, you might feel a little underwhelmed with this tablet. At a price point of $70, it definitely swings to a budget user and expectations shouldnt be too high. That said, it's functional for media consumption and some light gaming, and browsing the web is doable as well, but you will likely experience bottleneck stutters across all 3 of these activities. The camera for this type of money is actually pretty good. Its clear photos are a welcome sight and the autofocus is more functional than other budget-priced hardware. The battery life is solid too. If you can't shell out the extra $100 or so to move up into a used or refurbished mid price model from last year or even a new ad-supported Fire 7, this tablet competes well with ithers under $75. Just know how far $75 will get you when making your purchase.

I bought this in July 2024 to use as a wall-mounted smart home control/display panel in my entryway. The unit is on 24/7 and is humming along perfectly after more thank 18 months of continuous use so far. Let me first say how insane is our world in the first place when you can get a computing device like this that is so small and light it just fits in your hand for $60? The world in which we live is almost incomprehensibly sophisticated and inexpensive, at least when it comes to electronics. This little tablet is a bit bloated with apps you probably don't want out of the box but nothing is locked down so you can't delete it. I stripped it down to the basic apps I required (Nova Launcher, Hubitat, Tasker, Fully Kiosk browser) and it works just great for what I needed it to do. The screen is very clear and bright. Touch response is just fine. The processor is a little slow overall but what do you expect for $60? It's still blowing my mind you can get something like this for $60 in the first place. I don't use the camera for anything other than a motion sensor so I won't comment there. The Wi-Fi works just fine. I don't use the speakers for anything so I can't comment there either. Nice solid build, good tactile buttons, chunky and durable. It also comes with a nice protective silicone case which I don't use but would be absolutely perfect if you are giving this to a kid or someone who is not going to treat it with all that much care. All in all this is a solid, physically durable economy tablet that is a bit slow as expected but otherwise handles any ordinary everyday task. I still can barely comprehend it's possible to get a device like this for $60 in the first place. Our ancestors would think we were gods.

I bought this tablet primarily for watching YouTube videos, reading, and occasionally browsing the internet. Maybe even playing a light game or two. But, really, I didn’t have anything intensive planned for this tablet. I was really frustrated when I learned that this tablet couldn’t even handle what little I wanted from it. I would have said that the screen was acceptable until I noticed five small dead pixels on the top of my screen. I was also shocked by the amount of light bleeding. It looked really bad in some angles. It was too much for my liking, very distracting. At this point, I knew this tablet was going to have to be returned. Dead pixels are no joke! I just couldn’t take a chance on that. But, since I had it with me, I decided to keep testing it out before putting it back in its box. The speakers weren’t amazing, but they were passable. That was probably the only thing that I didn’t have an issue with because when you’re buying something on a budget, you can’t expect high-quality speakers. Watching YouTube videos was incredibly frustrating. Every time I clicked on a video, it would play for about 53 seconds before buffering. It wouldn’t load the video after that. I tried it with multiple different videos and it did the same thing every time. I even tried changing the video quality but it didn’t seem to help. Eventually, after about 15 minutes or so, it started working! I’m not exactly sure why but videos started to actually play. However, this should have worked in the first place. For some reason, it automatically played videos in 720P. I’m not sure why because I could change it to 1080P and it would play just fine but if I wanted to change the video quality, I would have to do so every time I clicked on a video which was annoying. Even after clicking “advanced settings,” in the YouTube app, it still defaulted to 720P. Now, I wasn’t too caught up in the video quality, 720P is fine but I thought it would be worth mentioning to those of you who care about stuff like that. Lastly, I think the second biggest issue that I had with this tablet besides YouTube, is just the fact that this tablet is really slow. It takes too much time loading up the Google web browser and apps. It also stutters a lot while you’re scrolling which happened pretty much every time I scrolled. Overall, I would not recommend this tablet to anyone. For the same price, you can purchase the Alldocube iPlay 50 mini Lite with a coupon and it’s better in pretty much every way. I would know because that’s what I did! I was actually trying to decide between this one and that one and the only reason I went with this one over it was because it came with a pre-installed screen protector and a case. I promise you, having to buy those separately is worth it if it means that the tablet you’ll be buying actually does what it’s supposed to do and it’ll save you a trip to the UPS store! (Update: I had to return that tablet too. I found out that it has a screen protector on it already installed as well but it’s super thin and doesn’t do anything. Took it on a trip and the screen somehow cracked despite me being very careful with it. I would still recommend it over this one but get a good screen protector if you decide to purchase). Seriously, don’t buy this tablet. Umidigi should be ashamed of themselves for releasing something that can barely load their own website.

First I gotta say the wallpaper background is ugly as heck. Every night I change it to something else I want and save. Then next day when I restart it the ugly wallpaper is back again. Every. Single. Day. Hyper-annoying. Also annoying is the default sleep mode is set after a very short time (perhaps 15-30 seconds), and that also you can set longer, thankfully. Otherwise this tablet would be smashed against the wall. I only use this to read the news in bed, not for anything intensive. However, even there it can struggle on every news app I try. Not super fast. I was replacing a kindle8 I hacked to have the Google Play store. This tablet is slghtly faster than the kindle8. But not by a whole lot. I bought this for 49.99 and I would never pay a penny more, it is just not worth it. I am saying this as now the price is over 75. There have also been a few "hang" moments when either the screen went black, or the touchscreen failed to respond to my fingers. Overall, it is just OK budget tablet. Will do me for my news for a few years if it lasts that long. I do like that it is USB-C powered, though. And it comes with a protective cover (like a cellphone cover) to protect from dropping.

I recently purchased the UMIDIGI G1 Tab Mini and it is a solid purchase. Initially I thought that I got only 5Gb of RAM instead of 7G as mentioned in the description. After playing with setting i figured out that the actual RAm is 3GB and virtual RAm is 4 GB and you can reduce the virtual RAm if you need to free some space in table as it take space for tabled ROM only. It works well with 3GB RAM and have a expandable storage up to 1TB. Currently I put only 128 Gb of micrsosd card and it works fine. Android 14 OS is good. This tablet is a great value for its price. and the top charging port is perfect for working in portrait mode and using charging or USB C headset. I am not impressed with the speaker and camera quality but it’s really ok with this price range. No issue for me as I am mostly using it for internet browsing, email, youtube and music with headphones or bluetooth speakers. The battery life is great, works really well for full day with watching videos and browsing. Screen is good , build quality is very good. Plus it comes with screens protector and protective case 😀 .you cannot complain anything with this price range you are getting all these things. Wifi working well I connected with my Google router and didn’t see any issue in terms of internet speed and all. Not able to check Wifi 6 as I don’t have wifi 6 router. IF you are looking something with an affordable price then this tablet will be really good fit. Despite the issue with speaker I am giving it 5 star as with this price range I can’t complain much.

Editing this review again 21 days after purchase: Tried simply downloading files via USB or Bluetooth. Spent more than 90 minutes with Android File Transfer and other apps. Doesn't recognize anything. Lowering to two stars. Editing this review 15 days later: Major difficulty with putting in an SD Card. The slot is there but it refused to format one card (though it kept saying that it was completed), and the second card, though formatted on the tablet, is not recognized on Android File Transfer. This brought down the original overall rating to three stars. Original review: This 8 incher does its job. Can expand the 3 GB RAM using the internal memory. Accepts SD cards. I added in an inexpensive 32 GB which does the trick for me. If you're going to be gaming, you might be disappointed as this baby isn't the fastest... But for usual tasks and reading (my main tablet use) it's fine and up-to-date. And the price is right... with no Amazon-forced ads...🙂

I wanted an inexpensive tablet to use in the car for GPS, movies and YouTube videos for my nieces and nephew when they come to visit. This mini Umidigi is perfect. I LOVE that it comes with a case on it AND a screen protector already installed so there's no bubbles to worry about. The battery lasts a long time and it's VERY sturdy feeling. It's not super light but it's not too heavy either. I use it on the dash magnet in the picture and it holds it perfectly while driving. It also has stereo speakers when not connected to Bluetooth. And it has a headphone jack to plug in the car for audio because most of the time the Bluetooth doesn't sync up with the videos. But that has nothing to do with this tablet. It's done it with everything I've connected to my car. Maybe there's some way to fix it but I don't know. It does it with my phone too. But having the audio jack makes it perfectly match. I kind of wish I would have got a color other than black just to have a different color, then again it matches the inside of my car so that's probably better. The camera seems fine but I don't plan on using it at all unless I do a zoom call or something. My ONLY regret is that it doesn't have Android Auto😭 But maybe there's a way to get it installed somehow. I'll have to look into it unless someone out there can tell me. I highly recommend it, especially for the low price. Kind of hard to beat.

Arriva con la pellicola protettiva sullo schermo e guscio di silicone già installati. Ovviamente le prestazioni non sono al top ma per il prezzo direi che va più che bene. Soddisfatto.

Kleines Tablet für unterwegs. Als Monitor für die Fotografie super, als Navigation schnell genug und bei Langeweile ein handliches Spielzeug. Bin sehr zufrieden.

Para mí uso está bien

こういった中華タブレットは専用の品を探すのが大変なので、保護フィルムやカバーが付属しているのは嬉しいです。 ブラウジングは少し重めで表示に時間は掛かるものの、この値段・性能では許容範囲内です。 YouTube再生も特に問題無く、画質も思ったほど悪くは感じません。 動画再生や読書端末として使用していますが、今のところ不満点は有りません。 サブタブレットとしてコスパの良い商品だと思います。
