Very nice tablet!

Phone owned for less than a year

Almost one year using it and I can say that it is still pretty fast and responsive with the advantage of having the latest and greatest Android version directly for Google. The only complaint that I have is with the multi-touch, that sometimes makes it unusable until I restart it. But overall it's a very good tablet still.
