You won’t find many bloatwares – pre-installed applications. For a tablet, Android Marshmallow is the latest and the most secure software.

Advan Vandroid i7 can capture your moment with satisfying bokeh – blur in the out-of-focus parts of an image – effect, thanks to its autofocus. The autofocus may not be the fastest one, but it can give you satisfying picture which is instagramable – great to be posted on Instagram. Compared with Huawei MediaPad T2, the Vandroid i7 is better since the camera that is adopted by the MediaPad T2 is only 2 megapixels.

Move to its front camera, it is only equipped with a 2-megapixel camera lens. What makes it special is that it comes with LED flash. So, you can still videocall someone or take pictures or videos when you are in a low-light room. The quality of pictures and videos taken with its front camera is good, but not special.  In conclusion, its front camera is not a great one, but it is useful.

Storage and Battery

To store all your data, the Vandroid i7 is equipped with an 8GB original internal storage. The storage which is available for you is 4.7GB. It is really a small space, isn’t it? Luckily, you can expand the storage by inserting an sdcard up to 32GB. It seems like having an sdcard is a must. I would like to suggest that you be wise to choose what apps to install, or later, you will have insufficient memory and starting to be confused to choose what apps to uninstall.

To power the tablet, i7 is equipped with a quite huge battery capacity. A Li-Ion battery with 2,500 mAh is used to supply the energy for the tablet. It can last for about eight to ten hours for normal use like chatting and internet browsing. If you love traveling and often forget to charge your smartphone, I suggest that you always bring a powerbank as the additional energy for your tablet.
