A great value tablet: Dragon Touch X10

The Dragon Touch X10 has maintains its predecessor’s durable design. The device is covered in a soft-touch plastic, has a solid build and little in the way of complications to go wrong.

It is thinner but heavier than the original. The larger 10in 1366x768 HD screen is a big improvement with better colour saturation, wider viewing angles and is sharper, making photos, text and videos all look better.

Two stereo speakers are mounted in the back, which are quite loud and better than your average tablet speakers. They are discreet, and not easily blocked by hands when holding the tablet in landscape view to watch video.
The Dragon Touch X10 has an Intel Atom processor that can handle everything that anyone is likely to want to do with the tablet, including graphically intensive 3D gaming with only small hints of stutter or lag.

The Dragon Touch X10’s standby battery life was solid, lasting several days when simply sleeping. For web browsing and checking email it will last around a day of on and off use. It will last around four hours of playing games or around five hours of streaming video, which is about the same as the original Dragon Touch and similar to competitors like the Nexus 7.

The Dragon Touch X10 has 16GB of built-in storage space with a microSD card slot for adding up to 32GB of extra storage for photos, movies and music.
The Dragon Touch X10 is a great value tablet for the money It won’t replace an iPad, but it is one of the best budget tablets available for under £150. The parental controls are some of the most comprehensive and easy to use on any device, let alone a tablet, and the Dragon Touch X10 should survive the odd knock or drop making it a great choice for children and families.
