Fusion5 10.6" 108 FHD Octa Core Android Tablet PC - 2GB RAM - 16GB Storage - Now in Android 6.0 Marshmallow - Bluetooth 4.0-1920 * 1080 FHD IPS Screen - 2MP and 5MP Cameras

I’ve come out of reviewing retirement (having previously risen to the top 500 before I realised how much of my precious time it was taking) to review this tablet at the request of the supplier. I must hasten to add that I did actually purchase the item.My wife and I are both avid readers and all of our book-cases are bulging at the seams so, after years of eschewing E-Readers, we decide to put aside our love of the printed page and go a bit more high-tech. After much research and tedious comparison of specifications I decided upon this fusion5 10.6” tablet on the basis of the specification and, of course, the valuable opinion of other reviewers.The device feels solid and well made, has the latest (6.0.1) version of Android and is not clogged up with bloat-ware. Wi-fi connectivity is good and Bluetooth works perfectly within the usual range boundaries. I’ve not had occasion to use the GPS stuff so I can’t comment. The screen is crisp and clear with good blacks and colour saturation; HD movies look great. The unit fits snugly and securely in the very nice leather folio case designed for this model. The speaker is not very good but with a pair of Bluetooth earphones the sound is excellent. My wife now uses the tablet for everything; the ancient laptop is now languishing in a corner and she is ‘well happy’ as they say.My only slight disappointment is the battery life; in average (my wife browsing, Kindling and playing card & Sudoku type games) use a full charge lasts about 6.5 Hours which I’m told is pretty good. In practice, however, charging it while not is use works perfectly well so the battery life does not present a problem. I have spent considerable time investigating the battery life issue and found the customer service as F5CS second to none; quick, polite and helpful.If you’re looking for a well built and well spec’ed tablet but don’t want to pay the silly prices for the fancy named brands then look no further. 9.5/10.UPDATE : As an indication of my level of satisfaction with this tablet and my confidence in the superb after-sales service, I have since bought another and have recommended them to friends.UPDATE 2 : BEWARE: Be careful removing the protective film from the screen protector; it is very easy to accidentally peel off the whole screen protector (as I did on my second tablet). With very gentle use over a week or so the screen is already scratched so if you do have an accident, get another protector before you use the tablet. Fitting another protector without bubbles and/or dust is a nightmare so it is worth getting a 2 or 3 pack of protectors.

I purchased the FullHD version and have now been using it on and off for a little under a month. Purchased this as a cheap ~10inch tablet to stop the rest of the family abusing my Nexus 10. While the Nexus 10 is still superior, despite its age, the Fusion5 108 actually does quite a remarkable job, for the price. The screen is crisp and clear at 1080p, despite the screen itself being plastic rather than glass (a screen protector comes pre-fitted). Movies and full-screen video look excellent close up, or from distance, and from most angles.Browsing is fine, and mostly fluid, although there can sometimes be a very minor lag when scrolling on pages with loads of content (pictures, GIFs etc). I also noted a slight lag when switching applications, but again it is very minor and not something that irritates at all. The tablet runs Android Marshmallow (Android 6), which is nice (a lot of other budget tablets are still on Android 5), although no longer the latest version. There is a Software Update option in the settings for possible future updates, but I wouldn't be holding my breath on Nougat (Android 7) being rolled out. No huge issue, Android 6 is absolutely fine.Initially I had some issues with the WiFi dropping out on occasion, but after a quick message to support (which was very helpful, friendly and quick to respond), that issue seems to have been resolved. I would also recommend a case of some kind if younger people will be using it as it is not quite as rigid as the more expensive tablets out there (but that's one reason they cost more).All in all, a pretty good purchase for its intended purpose. I wouldn't recommend this to tech-heads looking for an *excellent* bit of gadgetry, as they usually tend to be more critical over small issues - just pay the money for the higher-level kit. However, for younger (or older) family members using YoutubeKids, some Cbeebies apps and what have you, or iPlayer/ITVPlayer at the other end of the scale, you really can't go wrong for this price.

As I had previously had three of their 104GPS tablets (two got smashed screens, last one passed onto my son) I really expected to like this tablet. However I have just returned it for a refund as it is a huge disappointment.The main issue is the graphics speed, it makes numerous games totally unplayable, by this I don't mean just slow, I mean like in old days of trying to play a PC game on a totally memory bound PC and the games play was just a series of jumps. I don't know what they have done to this tablet, but considering the apparent hardware increase over the 104GPS, it should spank it. However on Antutu benchmarks, although it was much better on CPU and memory speed, it's graphics rating was only 1,275 compared with 2,875 for the 104GPS, which is supposed to be a cheaper, older spec device. I stress that I am not talking about grumbles about minor differences, I am talking about sections of gameplay taking twice as long on the 108 simply because it was more like a buffering video than a smoothly scrolling animation.In addition to this the tablet is 'sort of' rooted when it arrives. By this I mean that any of the Sky apps will not work, nor will any of my banking apps as they say that the tablet is rooted. However any root checker I tried said that it wasn't ! When I contacted support they simply said that the Winner chipset came rooted by deafultTalking of support, they were reasonably responsive and gave me a full refund, however effectively the responses were "we will give you a refund" or "we are not responsible for the performance of apps", nothing else. No interest in trying to work out if something could be done or whether it was just a problem with my unit/The 104GPS is a great value for money tablet that does the job well, as proven by the fact that I immediately replaced the two that got damaged with the same model and supplier. However this 108 is just pants. Considering it costs more, has half the storage and simply does not deliver, all I can say is DO NOT BUY THIS MODEL, go for the 104GPS instead.

At first, I was shocked to find out how cheap this tablet was considering what it promises.I bought this tablet for myself for watching movies, TV Shows and doing basic internet browsing.Once it had arrived, I was pleasantly surprised at how the device felt and how many extra features were on this tablet which I was unaware of.This tablet comes with an Octa Core processor which makes it quick to browse and it also comes with 2GB Ram which makes any game run smoothly and with a great FPS.This tablet also has a 10.6inch screen which has a resolution of 1920x1080p which is great for watching movies and TV shows.This tablet does, however, have one flaw which is that the sound is not very good, I would suggest just using either a speaker or headphones if you are watching a movie or TV show.I have also seen other reviews before I got this tablet and they stated that there were flaws in how long the battery life lasted but personally I have not seen this. Please be aware when buying this product you do need to charge this tablet fully before using it as it states in the manual if it is not charged fully before use it can lower performance.In conclusion, if you are looking for a good, reliable tablet which is big enough to be able to watch movies and TV shows or even reading then this is the tablet for you.

Purchased in August 2017. Yes it is cheap. Yes it has a good screen. BUT it has wireless problems, as per some other reviews here. I've had my wireless access point for years, no problems with PC's, apple devices & androids using it. Along comes this tablet, and it keeps disconnecting. Wireless debugs indicate it struggles with 802.11 handshakes. So yes if you want to surf the web, use social media and other high level applications that will mask underlying network transport disconnects & reconnects then its OK. If you want to use this a a platform for apps and games that need an un-interrupted tcp/ip connection then it is NO GOOD, the app/game will keep having to restart and reconnect at every network disconnect. In my month or so of ownership Fusion even pushed out a wireless update to its android, i thought 'Great !' It didnt fix it. Beware...

First off, I'm no techie,so this is a laymans pov. And of course nobody buys an electrical device every week, so I have very little to compare it with other than my wife's 5-year old ipad. All in all the Fusion5 108 is a really good tablet with a clear, sharp HD picture and the screen touch-sensitivity is fine. Build quality very good for the price. Like most devices these days, it's very intuitive in set-up and it transferred all my data and apps from my android smartphone with no problem after I'd entered my gmail address.But...the supplied charger is very unsatisfactory - the cable is too short (about half a metre) and it plugs in to the aperture in the side of the tablet with a single pin. I accidentally pulled the tablet whilst it was charging and in doing so bent the pin, so it broke off and stayed in the aperture.Fortunately, the tablet also has a micro USB aperture, like most people use for their phones, so I now charge it through that. Finally, another minor moan is that the wifi signal drops out occasionally when I am too far from the router; this doesn't happen to my wife's ipad, my desktop, or even my phone, all from the same location.

Easily set up.First tablet we have had and was a little apprehensive about getting to grips with it ! But no real problems. On- screen keyboard can be a little confusing but quickly found our way around it. Delighted it is so easy to play media files straight from usb stick.Picture quality very good. Wi-fi connectivity good, quick and stable.Sound is pretty poor from the tablet, (didn't expect it to be great to be honest), but with headphones connected it is very good ! So, after a couple of weeks of use, I would say this tablet is great value and would recommend to anyone who wants a practical tablet but doesn't want to pay big money for some top of the range gizmo !

I have this fusion 5 and and lso an ipad air 2.Compared to the ipad this is very very slow, nowhere near it, in fact an ipad from 6 or 7 years ago might be faster than this fusion, but the fusion has a few advantages.1 - It has HDMI, USB and also SD card2 - It has a 16:9 ratio, better for YouTube and videos3 - It has a 10.6 inch screen, bigger than the ipad.The wi-fi and Bluetooth work well, no issues at all, it has android 7.1 and almost no bloatware, cleanest android Ive ever seen.Im not sure if Ill send it back because it has a dead pixelIt also has a cheap built, its bent on the bottom like it wasn't glued properly, this is a tablet for the kids, or if you are like me and only want the cheapest to watch videos in the gymn. I will not use anything else.Video quality is great, good colors, good sound from headphones.Battery is nowhere near an ipad, I get 12 hours of video watching on ipad, but only around 4 hours hereBattery on standby drops about 80% in 20 hours. My ipad battery drops about 1% in the same time on standby

Superior resolution, better version of Android, more ram, faster CPU. Better overall product.This is the first ANDROID based anything I've used that I can truly say holds up to competing systems like Windows or IOS. The power drain usage on this thing is amazingly slow, charging is very fast. The 2GB shows off what ANDROID (and Linux) can do with more RAM. The truly HD screen automatically sizes playback to a matching frame ratio to the video at best HD possible without any pixelation or artifacts in most instances. I say "most" only because modern ANDROID is better at playing HD and more modern mastered Video streams, than ancient videos on retro source websites. Those play well, but do occasionally desynchronize due to the much older video technology used. However, once you play back said videos and listen to sound, you notice rare if any pausing even when GMAIL is running or FACEBOOK is posting notifications enmasse. The system does a lot better than any other ANDROID I've seen at seamless multitasking the GUI and the Multimedia. I've had a number of prior ANDROID products and was sorry I bought them, not to mention they wore out just outside the Warranty period. This 10.6" Fusion5 Tablet is way better built, has extensive connectivity between its connectors and its wireless, and its keyboard works much better. The entire tablet is FAR MORE RESPONSIVE than anything I've used previously, including a Windows Phone. In Marshmallow (Android 6.1) Google has created a riper more mature system. I do still wish for more control of the underlying system, but that's just because I'm a techie and I would prefer not to have to use development tools or rooting just to have access to a command shell.However, I'd raise this Tablet's rating to 6 Stars if I could. Nice work, Fusion 5, and "AT LAST!" to Google - keep on keeping on.BTW, the power connector is rigidly reinforced against breakage unlike other products I've used, and the unusually long battery life insures I can run it for my entire use for at least a day, without having to recharge it. I'm planning on acquiring a Carry Case for it and taking it on the road with me. I do hope they produce one with a built in phone/CellModem in the future! Nonetheless, it is an EXCEPTIONAL VALUE and an EXCEPTIONAL PRODUCT.

This is a good tablet. It works quickly and has space and plenty of cool capabilities, like turning sd cards or usb drives into internal storage. It has a beautiful screen, and I would recommend getting something to help protect it because it does scratch pretty easily. It has multiple ways through which it can charge(made it easier when I forgot my charger at school). It is overall quite functional. The reason I cannot give it five stars is that mine recently went into a bootloop for no reason. I had not downloaded anything I haven't had before. This happened less than 2 months after I got it. The customer service is responsive and is working with me to get it fixed, which is awesome. But even the day I opened it, it occasionally froze or got stuck on the boot screen. Not always, just sometimes. It also requires an sd card in order to download most files from the internet, like from email or a pdf or something. I have found that pretty bothersome. Overall, I would say it is a good tablet, very useful, has some issues, but I do like it.

First, let me start off by saying this is not my first tablet, but this will be my last if this is the state of the tablet industry.From the very moment that I opened the package from Amazon I knew I was going to be disappointed, and shouldn't have even bothered giving this product a chance. For starters, the tamper tape/stickers were peeled off when I first got the package, and the sticky residue was all dried up from the tape/sticker indicating that this had been peeled off long ago. Second, upon opening the box I found that my "new" tablet had finger prints all over the screen, as well as a screen protector had been improperly placed on it (air pockets, dust, and what appeared to be a bit of potato chip). There were also some minor scuffs and scratches in the plastic backing, now I don't mind the casing being plastic as that helps to keep price and weight down, but I do mind my "new" product having very obvious damage to the back.Now, let's move to how the device performs. Slow. Simple as that, this device is so slow. It advertises 2 GP RAM and a 1.8 GHz Processor which should be able to handle almost all mobile games, so I decided to test the limits of this device with two or three different games, all of which minimum spec requirements (and even recommended) were below the specs of this device and all of the games I was averaging 11 FPS or lower, which is absolutely unacceptable to a device advertised as a gaming device. I guess I was asking for it by trying to test the hardware, but I think that a device claiming to be good for gaming should be able to at least hit 30, or even 20 Frames for a game that is far below the requirements of this device. Now, after I realized this device would be no good for gaming, I at least tried to see it's multimedia and video streaming services. Wow, was I disappointed, again, bad frame rates, and bad connection to my wireless network. After running speed tests I was averaging about 400 ms ping more on this device than any other device in my house.All in all, do not be fooled by this product. You will probably get a used product, and your device will not perform nearly as well as it should based off the advertised spec's and hardware. Please, don't be like me and be fooled by this product.

it has a great picture and the price was right but on the 2nd day of owning it i was watching a movie and about 1/2 way thru the darn thing just froze up and nothing would work. all i could do was set it on my shelf and wait for the battery to die. it took about 4 hrs. after a recharge it was ok. it's done the same thing 2 more times. so thats 3 lock-ups in a little over a month. other than that, its a great tablet. except an operation manual would really help

I really wanted to love this tablet. It's wonderfully done. But the one Fatal Flaw is that it's impossible to insert the SD Card into the slot. And then, if you do, it can NEVER be taken out again. If using SD storage is important to you, then this tablet is off limits. Also, the web site listing states: " Further storage can also be added via a micro SD card (Supports upto a 128-gb TF-card) (not included)." But the protective screen cover on the tablet clearly says "32 GB" only. So it's highly limited and then you can't change the card once it's inserted. Such a shame. It's a wonderful tablet otherwise. For someone who works online all the time, this is not a factor. But for me, who plays recorded movies a lot, it's a deal breaker. It's too bad the web listing LIED . . . How could the manufacturer include such a horrible SD slot??? I purchased an eyeglass screwdriver to seat the SD card . . . It was long enough, but I still couldn't get the card to be seated and recognized.And . . . Oh yes, I'm a computer techie and still couldn't figure it out!One More Thing: The power adapter has a tiny round connection. Looks like a toy thing. If the flimsy connector breaks (only a matter of time), you can't just use a standard micro usb cable. You'll spend weeks trying to order a new power adapter. I don't think you can just replace the cable. You need to get the whole adapter with cable attached.
