SuperPad V10 – I
should never have purchased!
The super pad v10 is basically a cheaper version of the
iPad, it runs on android and is a tablet. Before I brought it, it looked very
good and showed features such as; responsive touch screen, good tilt features,
GPS and a long battery life. I had wanted this product for myself so that I
could browse the internet and play some android games and watch films. But when I received the product it still
looked good, until I pressed the buttons the buttons had fallen into the pad
itself and they wouldn’t work at all another issue was that I could only turn
the volume up from the buttons on the side. If I wanted to turn the volume down
I had to go into the Super pads settings which meant I had to stop what I was doing.
The Super pads tilt function also didn’t work because when I went to go play
games the tilt function didn’t work, and I couldn’t play it at all which meant
allot of android games became unavailable to me. The Super Pad did have WiFi but there is a switch
on the top to turn the WiFi on or off but, this didn’t work either! The USB
sockets were great to start off with, I was able to connect my memory sticks to
it and watch films I had downloaded. But eventually one of the USB slots
stopped working and I had to make do with just one, this became annoying as I
couldn’t connect up as many things as I wanted. The main feature for me was
that I could connect the main to my TV through a HDMI cable and this was really
good as I could watch my downloaded films on a bigger screen while also being
in a good quality. The pad itself looks very slick modern and simple, but when
you touch it and get a feel for it, it feels flimsy and poorly made. This feels
even worse when you actually touch the screen as there is a thin layer of
plastic that sits above the solid screen, it’s a loose bit of plastic that
doesn’t sit right and makes it looks like a rushed product. When using the
touch screen, you have to be very firm when you press unlike an iPad where you
can glide you fingers across with ease and perform multiple tasks, the Super
Pad 10 is slow and unresponsive you touch it and you need to wait a second or
two before something even happens. The Super Pad once completely froze and I
couldn’t do anything so I was forced to go get a pin/hairclip and press the
reset button, now I expected it to reset my settings and the whole system and
reload with everything I had downloaded. However all my apps and games had
gone, along with all of my personalised settings so I had to go back and
download everything all over again, by this point I had given up and I haven’t
used it since. Aside from all the issues
the product has a good video and music player that allows for good HD quality,
but the speakers on the Super Pad are very quiet and not very clear so
headphones are recommended.
So to sum up The Super Pad v10 looks amazing with its black and silver colours, it also seems very promising when reading about it and often reviews say it is very good but it’s far from it. The product only seems to do 50% of what it said it could, and really looking back I wish I’d have kept my £120 as it seems far better than a half hearted tablet.
