Garbage

Beto . 4 months ago

Be careful when buying this Orbic Tab 8 5G, if you have the Google or Apple cloud service and you want to play a video directly from the cloud that was originally recorded in 4k resolution, this tablet will never play them because it does not support that resolution, it only supports videos in 1080p or 720p, something ridiculous on the part of this company in these technological times, if you want quality, select a Samsung or Apple tablet

Orbic Product Team - 4 months ago

Thank you for your feedback! We’re dedicated to continually enhancing our products to better serve you. The Orbic Tab8 5G’s HD display will enable you to view videos, but they will scale back to 1080p resolution. For further assistance or resolution, please feel free to reach out to us directly at info@orbic.us. We’re here to help! OrbicProductTeam

Great small tablet

Beto . 7 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I have been using this tablet for many months and I highly recommend it. It is within the range of use and specifications according to the price, excellent internal memory and the ability to expand it up to 1TB and 6GB in RAM, excellent performance in 5G UW networks... I highly recommend it.

Orbic 5g iPad

Dudda . 1 year ago

It Want Let Me Watch Any Videos

Work electronic necessities

Steven . 1 year ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

It works well enough to maintain job. Understanding limits and loss of connection is the issue with signals everywhere. It took a couple days to become connected properly though it’s not bad. Customer service was good and cost was good . So far no bad experience.

Orbic Tablet

DMWOKC . 1 year ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

It's a good little tablet. Works great and is just the right size, not too big and not too small.

I love it!

2 years ago

I love it! I have a group of my own and also show in several different groups and the pictures are very good, if I stopped shaking so bad they would not be blurry. lol. I know I have so much more to learn but doing good so far.

Works decently and nice size, but requires Verizon service to not be annoying

OrbicNOT . 2 years ago

Decently sized and priced tablet. Over all it is a good quality device. Removed it from our Verizon account and just complains that it doesn't have a valid Verizon SIM, constantly and loudly. POOR programming on Orbic's part not to be able to remove the SIM.

Great iPad Mini alternative

Carlos . 2 years ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

It’s been great for work it’s really fast and reliable and the battery life is also great. I just wish there was more protective cases available to buy

Love it!!

Mandi . 2 years ago
