Video content loaded painfully slowly for around a minute before playing as it should. We encountered the same issue when using the BBC Media Player app for the first time. This was all on a perfectly good Wi-Fi connection. It took 50 seconds to play 14 seconds of the clip we were trying to watch, before settling into the swing of things and getting its act together. The first time we fired up the YouTube app was a complete disaster. It’s a minor issue, but immediately sets a negative tone. Instead of the screen switching smoothly from landscape to portrait (or vice versa), it seems to flip over in stages. Scrolling is a little bumpy – although this may have more to do with the screen responsiveness – and the auto-rotate function is jolty. It’s similar to what you’ll find in the hudl 2, but we found performance issues with the Lifetab straight out of the box. The Lifetab comes with a quad-core Intel Atom Z3735F processor that operates at 1.33GHz, though burst mode will take it up to the 1.83GHz mark. Since the Lifetab, like the hudl 2, is likely to appeal most to first-time tablet buyers, the lack of quick and easy guidance is disappointing. They show that Tesco has really thought about its target audience: families and first-time tablet owners.Ī digital user guide comes pre-loaded on the Lifetab, but it’s a lengthy number, and not the easiest to digest. ‘Get Started’ and the child safety features – developed in partnership with the Parent Zone – are absolute gems, for instance. While the hudl 2 comes with plenty of Tesco-branded extras, including the ‘T’ which takes you to Tesco’s groceries and services page, some of Tesco’s software is genuinely useful. Separating the wheat from the chaff is a dull process, but will free up a little extra storage space.Īldi has really missed a trick, though. The good thing is they’re easy to uninstall. These are annoying, and are there purely there to try and entice you to buy more from the two companies. In addition to standard Google offerings such as Gmail, Chrome and YouTube, you’ll also find slightly less familiar bits of software, like Medion 2 Go and Aldi app. The Lifetab runs stock Android 4.4 KitKat and comes loaded with a mishmash of apps from a variety of sources.
