1. Dragon Touch M8 Android
Tablet Review

2. • Tablets come in all shapes and sizes, and price
ranges. Some offer a lot in a small package, and
some seem to have forgotten the use of
technology. There are many things that can
make a tablet great, and it does not take much
to make a tablet terrible. The Dragon Touch M8
is a decent tablet at a great price.
• The first thing that I noticed were all of the
extras; Mini-HDMI, USB Host Adaptor, Dual
Camera, Lite Weight, Bright Screen, Sound,
Bluetooth, GPS, FM Radio, and Storage
Options. This tablet is packed with features. I will
take a few moments to try and talk about some
of those features here, and give you a heads up
on what is great, and what is not.

3. • SIZE:
• I want to start with the size. I have an older Kindle Fire 2nd gen
tablet, and the New Dragon Touch M8 is definitely bigger. The
screen is certainly one thing that appeals to me. I like some in my
age range have eye sight difficulties, and having a larger screen
makes all the difference in the world.
• BRIGHTNESS:
• Not only is the screen larger, but it is brighter as well. I did notice
something that did not seem right to me in that the brightness
controls did not change the brightness. I tried several times and the
screen stayed at the same brightness level the entire time. The only
time it changed was when I ran a battery saving app that adjusted
the brightness, then I was able to raise and lower the brightness
with no trouble. I have no clue as to why that was.

4. • RESOLUTION:
• The resolution of the screen is great. I have no
complaints here at all. Yes it is only set at 1280 X 800
which is the same as my Kindle Fire 2nd Gen, but it
looks crisper and clearer. (Maybe it is just the extra inch
of display, or my imagination). Whatever it is, I like it.
• MEMORY:
• Total ram is only 1 Gig in size which is about average
from my experience, and I am guessing that this is
enough for the Android environment. It does however
have just a bit more than my Kindle. It may be this along
with a few other things that are allowing me to run a few
apps I previously have not been able to try out.

5. • BATTERY:
• Ok, the battery should be the next obvious thing to
discuss. This is the part I honestly hate. My Kindle fire
will hold about 9 hours’ worth of a charge. I even have
an Asus T-100 tablet that will hold 11 hours, this tablet
claims 3 but honestly is does not last nearly that long.
This is not the worst I have seen, and certainly you can
tweak things to stretch the battery life some like don’t
have Wi-Fi on or Bluetooth on when you do not need it,
turn of location services when not needed, and lower the
screen brightness, but aside from these things, it still
tends to drain a bit faster than I like. I definitely can see
that I will have to keep my battery backup device close at
hand.

6. • MORE IMPRESSIONS:
• Over all my impression of this tablet is great.
Yes, I wish it had a better battery and camera,
but the storage abilities make a great impression
on me. I would love if the tablet were a tad bit
more powerful, but since I can run games and
other apps I previously could not, this is not a
bad thing. I wish I knew more about GPS to be
able to explain things a bit more so that I could
understand the functions this tablet uses, but,
since it did find my home in the middle of
nowhere without a problem, something must be
working well. I also love the FM radio. This is a
nice touch that just adds to the overall coolness.

7. • CONCLUSIONS:
• It is my opinion that this is a worthwhile
tablet to own, and if you’re wanting one
that will not break the bank and is not lite
on features, this is definitely one to look at.
