Popular Gadget | Augen GENTOUCH78 7″ Android Tablet |Today for review I’ve got a product that has gotten a bad rap in the early reviews for it. I like getting products like these for review because I want to see for myself. The product I have is the Augen Gentouch78 7” Android Tablet and it was provided by Geeks.com for my review. I did some research and found that the early reviews were slightly flawed, they reviewed a tablet that was different than the one I got and one that didn’t have everything working correctly on it. The Gentouch78 is what one would certainly call a budget tablet, coming in at under $200 so right from the start we’re not expecting much from it. Honestly I’ve enjoyed my time with the tablet, sure it’s not some blazingly fast amazing workhorse tablet but it works and it’s fun to use. It’s a product for those that enjoy tinkering surely, if you’re the type of person that likes to explore and get the most out of your Android based products then this is certainly one for you.

The tablet is 7” in size, it’s primarily black with just the Augen and Gentouch78 names in silver. The tablet is fairly lightweight, but it feels solid. The screen is resistive sadly. Yes it’s all plastic so it does have a rather cheap feel to it, but isn’t everything made of plastic these days? The back looks like brushed metal but it’s just plastic, still it looks good.

On the bottom are also the labels for the side ports, HDMI is labeled but there is not port for it actually. On the side you’ll find a power button, microSD card slot, USB port, audio and power connections. The audio jack is a 3.5mm size for standard headphones unlike earlier Gentouch78 units that came with a 2.5mm jack.

The microSD port is recessed into the tablet actually, it took me several tries to figure it out. 

When it’s in the card is flush with the side, and it’s rather difficult to get out. This is a good thing and a bad thing as it won’t come out accidentally, but you’ll need to stick something in there to push on the card. The slot is spring loaded and I also learned that the spring is strong, I’ve shot the card across the room a few times already. MicroSD cards are rather hard to find when they go flying across the room or even just under your desk.
