 Hey what's up guys welcome to our trending reviews so today I'm pretty excited I've got a brand new Android tablet that literally just came out last week this is the Matrix Pad Z4 it's from a company called Venkyo and I'm going to give you an unboxing a product overview and then obviously a little bit of a demo with some of the capabilities in playing games watching video and even reading ebooks so this comes in at just less than 95 pounds it's such a bargain it's under a hundred dollars in the US so if you wanted to get a very high-end Android tablet with great capabilities at such a cheap price then this should be the one you'd be checking out so let's just get straight into it all right getting straight into it it's a 10.1 inch tablet which runs Android 9.0 pi and it also has a 1280 by 800 IPS LCD display it also comes with this nice matte black finish with the Venkyo logo at the back and it also has two speakers on the bottom left and right of the back side of the tablet now inside the tablet it comes with two gigabytes of RAM and it also has a 64 bit quad core CPU and also comes with 32 gigabytes of ROM now in terms of the battery life it has a very decent 4500 milliamp hour battery which is comparable to things like the Samsung s10 plus which is a very flagship phone so that will give you around eight hours of usage depending on how much videos and games you're playing but day-to-day usage you should average about eight hours and it gives you a full charge within three hours of charging it you immediately notice that there's only one side of the tablet which has the ports and buttons and none of the others so we have a micro USB charging port a micro SD card slot where you can expand storage of up to 128 gigabytes you also have a headphone jack which is always nice and then the standard volume and power buttons it also comes with an 8 megapixel rear camera and a 2 megapixel front camera which you probably wouldn't use for taking selfies but more for short video conferences with apps such as Google Hangouts or Skype here are some sample photos I've taken with this camera around the office now let's dive straight into the tablet and take a look at some of the general usage of playing games and watching videos and maybe reading ebooks if you want to compare this to something like the Amazon Kindle in the box you will find the tablet the charging cable the wall outlet plug and the user guide so very straightforward items come with it and there are no additional accessories such as headphones or anything like that okay so let's take a look at the general usage so I've just logged in now as you can see the swiping gestures they're pretty normal if I go into settings I can scroll through so you may be very familiar with Android 9.0 if you have a smartphone running the same OS so this is basically going to be a demo of three different things reading books watching videos and playing games so if I start off by opening google books then I have a book here called a stranger in town so as you can see much like the Kindle you can swipe through so very fluid as you can see there's not too much lag or anything and I'm pretty much doing this in real time so the pages are not lagging behind so the two gigabytes of RAM is playing up pretty well when reading books especially so if I try and swipe faster obviously depending on your internet connection it will take a few seconds maybe to load the page but as you can see it didn't take that long it was pretty instant maybe one second or maximum two seconds so pretty happy with that that's done a very good job so reading books I think it's really good in daytime you'd be able to just keep the brightness at full and you will see the pages quite clearly so there's some really cool options in here the navigation bar along the bottom here as well that gives you quick access to things like the volume and taking a screenshot of the page you're on so if I press that camera icon there it will take a screenshot of the viewport there and you can just share it edit or delete so if I go back that is basically google playbooks all right so next let's take a look at youtube videos and see how that plays so let's open it up and let's go into my trending reviews channel so loaded pretty quickly I have this short cinematic film that I shot recently so let's go ahead and play that and try to hear the audio as well to see the quality in the sound coming from the speakers so I'll make this full screen there we go let's just hold it up a little bit hopefully that gives you an example of actually how smooth it plays back you can see there's no buffering it does a great job just loading the video straight away and playing it back without any problems so youtube I guess netflix will be the same as well so videos if you're going on some long journeys or flights or you're traveling then this is really great to take with you and watch some tv shows movies or even youtube so if you have any videos on the micro sd card then directly you will be able to play it back smoothly without any problems because this is using an internet connection and it still plays it very well so this is one of the games I've downloaded so hopefully it will give you an idea of actually how smooth it functions so let's go ahead I will turn the volume down slightly so swiping gestures so far so good there's no real lag or any problems buffering I think the quality still looks quite good okay so let's play something with a little bit more graphics power so this is temple run 2 so I'll be judging to see if this is smooth as it is with your phone so far seems to be going quite well it's got good response time so I'm going to go ahead and play so the graphics still look good the gestures are not lagging so the swiping gestures are not delayed as you can see if they were delayed then you'd be pretty bad at this game so for me this looks like a very good alternative to buying a expensive flagship android tablet so if I was to recommend you to play games on journeys or commutes or anything like that then I would definitely recommend this tablet because it's doing a great job so no lag it does for gaming I would definitely recommend this in terms of performance I think this is doing a very good job even if you have some kids or nieces or nephews that really want to play games on the tablet this is definitely the way to go because for the price you can't get any better than this I hope that was useful for you guys so if you'd like to take a look at more information and if you actually
