The display doesn't break records and readability in direct sunlight may be a little more difficult, but the color rendering and contrast are satisfactory for most situations.
I tried working on a tablet in Wordui PowerPoint without any difficulties, played GTA Liberty City Stories, tuned my guitar with the BOSS Tuner app, and headed out to a nearby forest to test my photography skills. With the front camera, I managed to achieve decent images for a device of this price level, as demonstrated by the following gallery.

Only due to the placement of the speakers at the bottom, where one tends to put one's hands (hand), is it more suitable MaxTurn the i11 Plus pad so that it doesn't get clogged.
I also rate the battery life positively, as it was surprisingly quite difficult to achieve when trying to get to real-world charging behavior later, even though I was playing YouTube videos, listening to Spotify, and had a number of apps running that I was constantly accessing. From zero, the tablet with the included 10W charger reached full capacity in less than 3 hours when I started it at 11:00 a.m. and at 13:56 p.m. the charge was complete.
