Dragon Touch 10 inch tablet review – can you watch Netflix?

 (update)Dragon Touch Customer for Life! Keep doing what makes Dragon Touch unique!

I have just recently purchased my third Dragon Touch X10 Octacore (2015 edition) tablet! I use this tablet mainly for recreational use. I am always impressed by this tablet. The lifespan of this tablet for me has been over 3 years on each. Both of the tablets ended up with a cracked screen by accident so they may have lasted a lot longer than three years had I not stepped on one, and dropped the other.

Each time they broke, I searched far and wide for a tablet I might like better but I just can’t find one with as many features and such a big display.

Some of the things that keep me coming back are: 3 different ways to charge, the large screen display, the USB port along with the micro USB port, the octacore, the longevity and the price!

Some of the reasons I try to find a different tablet: headphones with a mic and volume control DO NOT WORK, the speakers are WEAK, charging via micro usb takes 8 hours. Considering the price I think these cons aren’t that bad. To give you an idea, a tablet of this size brand name is upwards of 900$ last time I checked, but the size is important to me.

This last time I bought another one I noticed they had a newer version of the X10. I decided to go with this because the new version has a quad-core instead of octacore. Ive had a quad core tablet by dragon touch before, the quad core is solid with moderate use, but I promise you there is a noticeable difference. The octacore is much much smoother and I never had a problem with buffering on videos. Downloading is a flash and gameplay is seamless. I might as well go with the octacore since I’m using for mostly gaming. However, if you’re using this for more social use or typing etc, I would say go with the quad core because that’s more than enough for moderate use.

It’s just an all around really nice tablet. It’s an off brand and sometimes people get a wonky tablet acting funny, but I’ve had to contact the company and they were very helpful. If there is anything wrong with your tablet I recommend exchanging it and trying again. It’s worth it. Ive had a few wonky things happen with my first X10, like the screen light would go out for no apparent reason. The screen and system still worked and responded to touch but the light wasn’t on. I had to use a flashlight to see the screen and try to factory reset to fix. I ended up exchanging and never had that issue again.

I had a hard time finding a game controller compatible with this device. I even contacted the company about it. According to them they hadn’t tested any controllers with the device, but theoretically any Bluetooth controller should work. Well they didn’t. I went through 4 controllers until finding the right one. I tried wired, a dongle and Bluetooth. I found the Gamesir controller which is connectable 3 ways. Wired via micro usb, dongle via usb port and Bluetooth. All of these work with the tablet. Minecraft Pocket Edition is stunning on this tablet along with the Gamesir controller you are set for mining away!

Hours of gameplay on this device. Constant. Every once in a while I can feel the tablet getting hot on the back so I’ll give it a break, but that’s when I’m pushing to its limits with a big game. I don’t have problems with freezing while others say they do, and I’ve now owned 3 of them… All I can say is be VERY picky and careful about what you download on your device. Certain apps can cause freezing. Another thing that can cause that is running multiple apps while the tablet is updating apps. Always let it update without opening any apps.

I’ve had no problems with adware or spyware like others had. Again be VERY careful about what you download. READ the section that tells you what permissions an app needs before downloading. If it doesn’t make sense (like a flashlight app asking for contact info) don’t download it. A lot of protection apps can have purposeful damaging effects. Be careful about children’s games too. Just be vigilant.

This tablet has been so reliable for me. Games and movies and videos and forums… It’s a place I can wind down at the end of the day. I can download every game and app I could ever want and still have space on the device. I have never needed any extra space even with downloading movies directly on the device. I also use it to store photos via USB drive. I like it better than a computer. It’s a lot faster than any computer I’ve used and most laptops have a quad core. There are some sites that aren’t available to use with a tablet but I’m okay with that trade off.

It’s simple, I can take it everywhere, and I can use it just like I do a laptop. Connecting a keyboard and mouse is sometimes preferred when I’m typing and I can have them both working at the same time. I think I’m pretty loyal to dragon touch for good reason. It’s got way more than most tablets combined and it’s not so expensive that I cry if it breaks. Replacing every 3 years or so because I accidentally broke it is okay by me. You either love it or you hate it, but the vast majority of people LOVE this tablet.
