TCL TAB Unboxing and First Impressions! $199 ANDROID TABLET FOR VERIZON By TechOdyssey

Hey everybody welcome back to tech odyssey. So today, I'm here with an unboxing and first impressions with TCL's brand-new tab. It's called the TCL tab, it's exclusive to Verizon. It's got 4g LTE, 3 gigabytes of ram. Furthermore, it's got an 8 core processor, 32, gigabytes of storage and an 8-inch full HD screen. So you can use it for all your streaming media for some light.

Gaming manage your email most day-to-day tasks. It's definitely not a pro tablet, but it is a pretty nice tablet, and it's got a nice price tag of 199, but before we get into all this, I do want to say if this is your first time stopping by the channel. I appreciate you being here if you enjoy the video please hit the like and the subscribe button and little notification bell. If you want updates when new videos come out, let's take a look at the TCL tab, and here we are with the TCL tab, the latest foray into the tablet world from TCL. It's an eight-inch tablet.

LCD screen 199 bucks exclusive with Verizon 4g LTE everything you need, so you can take it on the go. You can consume your media. You can stay connected, and now we're going to take it out of the box, and we're going to cut through all this tape, with my handy dandy, unboxing tool, which of course we're going to close and sit off to the side and make sure it's locked. So we don't hurt ourselves safety. So two gigahertz, eight core processors, eight-inch full HD screen, eight megapixel camera on the rear, 5500 ml amp battery.

It's got pretty decent specs. I think for 199 dollar tablet go ahead and take it out of the sleeve here you can see they've got some of their labeling their branding. I really like the texture that this has on the back. Furthermore, I don't know what kind of name they have for it, but it does feel a little on the grainy side, it's enough that it makes it feel kind of premium, but at the same time you've got a nice texture. So you don't have to worry about it.

Slipping around. It doesn't feel like a cheap plastic back. Sometimes you get some cheap android tablets, and they just feel really cheap, and you don't get that impression. Whenever you take this one out-of-the-box fingerprint sensor built into the power button volume, rocker USB, everything that you need to get going and let's go ahead and fire it up and set it off to the side. Here, look at what else is in the box, but there you go.

Also, you can see on the front. You've got the five megapixel camera, it does have some borders, the bezels around the top and the bottom. This is certainly not an edge to edge display. It comes with the sim removal tool inside there nice and conveniently packaged on the inside of the box, and let's go ahead and pop the sim tray out real quick. I don't usually do this on unboxing, but I want to have a look and see what we can do here.

So you've got a dedicated sim slot, and then you can put a SD card in there as well and from what I was reading. It will hold up to a 256 gigabyte SD card, so you get your built-in 32 top it off with another 256. Also in here we have the world's most useless documentation like every phone and tablet. You can read it, of course. If you want to, and then we have the power brick which is capable of quick charge, it does have an USB a type connector on there and then once we get to the power cable here, it should be an USB type, a to USB type c, which is nice because it gives you the latest and greatest.

It's not micro, USB, thank goodness we're in 2020 now and if most manufacturers have kind of migrated away from that, not the longest power cable in the history of mankind, but it'll do certainly fine to get your tablet recharged, so you can get back in the action and start playing and socializing again all right. So here we are with the TCL tab, one of the first things you're going to notice about this. When you take it out of the box, it has this nice texture to the back of it. It's not really slippery. It feels a little on the kind of rugged side.

Furthermore, it gives it a little of a premium feel to it, but also it's got a nice texture whenever you're holding onto it. So I like that, I don't have the largest hands in the world, but you can see I can still hold on to it with one hand. Here, that's especially important, I think, for a tablet, especially if it's not a professional tablet, where you need a huge landscape to do things with 5 megapixels, selfie camera 8, megapixel camera on the back 8-inch screen full HD. It's got pretty much everything you could expect in a 199 tablet. One thing that really surprised me about it was over here.

The power button doubles as a fingerprint sensor, which works pretty nice. You can register up to five fingers with it volume, rocker USB, 5500, William battery, which should last you quite a while it has a pretty low power consumption processor in it, which is fine good for multitasking good for playing some games good for doing your day-to-day stuff. This, by no stretch of the imagination is something you're going to be playing Fortnite on. You might be able to squeeze in some pub g on low settings, but it's not really what I would recommend for it. If you want to play something light and easy, like altos' odyssey, I was playing uh among us on here, which it handles perfectly fine.

So this is perfect. If you've got a teenager, you got a young kid. You want something that they can watch their Disney plus their Hulu. Their anime play their games on its good for people who don't need to like a more expensive iPad, or you don't need a more expensive, Samsung tablet. This is great for traveling, because it does have Verizon's network on it.

You can use the LTE connection. It's not 5g! So don't worry about that, but you can get a data plan for it. I'm not familiar with Verizon's data plans, I'm a T-Mobile customer. This just happens to be exclusive to Verizon, and I was looking at. I think you can get it for about eight dollars a month on their payment plan.

If that's something that interests you not a salesman here, this was sent out from TCL's as a review unit, but not being compensated, not paid they're, not seeing this before you. This is not a sponsored video. I feel like it's built. Well, I've been enjoying using it. The fingerprint sensor works perfectly fine, there's no facial recognition with it, which I don't think is really a big dealbreaker when it comes to being a tablet.

The screen gets nice and bright enough. It's got one speaker on the bottom. It's not stereo sound, but the speakers are adequate overall, just using it for a little. I've had it for a couple of days now it feels nice in the hand it feels like it's built. Well, the price, I think, is good you're, not winning any performance awards.

Here it's got three gigabytes of ram. It's got 32 gigabytes of internal storage, which I think is a little on the low side in 2020 getting ready to go into 2021, but you also have to remember this is not a high performance tablet, so you may not necessarily need gigantic applications on here. You're, not shooting 4k video you're, not editing video on here. This is just designed to be a tablet and for being a tablet. I think it does all the basic tablet tasks.

Well, it gives you a larger viewing screen lets you consume your media, your social media. You can interact and engage all that good stuff for a relatively inexpensive price point. So I think this price fairly. I think that what it's designed to do it does well, and I'm going to spend some more time with it. I'm going to come back and do my full review on it.

This is just an unboxing and first impressions, letting you know what I think so far having my hands on it, using it a little for a couple of days and also showing you what's inside the box, which of course you saw earlier, comes with all the things you need to get started and hey it's not apples, so you still get a charging brick and that's kind of cool, though too, because one of the selling points for the new iPad Air is this revolutionary fingerprint sensor built in the power button and this 200 TCL tablet has it so overall, I think it's pretty decent if you're looking to get something, that's not too crazy, expensive. You want to pick it up on a low payment plan with Verizon, or you just don't want to invest a lot. You want something that can travel. Furthermore, you can even use it for a hot spot up to 10 different devices, which is nice and people like in their tablets as well, so very versatile lots of stuff for 199 dollars. That's all I got so far with my unboxing and first impressions, like I said, I'm still going to use it still going to do my full review on it later.

I just wanted to bring this to you now, so you can get a look at it. It is available. It just came out a couple of days ago. This is October. The 15th so been out a couple of days.
