I bought one today for my 8 year old son. He gets it in two day's time and I'll let him unbox and power up for the first time. I'm really looking forward to seeing his face when he unwraps it. I'm sure the first thing he'll do is install Minecraft and set up a server so we can both play over LAN. Your review is fantastic Richard, your enthusiasm is great and made me think I made the right choice of purchase. Thanks!
Thanks for an excellent review, I really can't understand how on the "professional" reviewing sites this tablet scores low. £119 with these specs and this screen resolution it's just fantastic. On the antutu benchmark it scores a very respectable 19000.
I agree 100%. I've watched this several times and think that its the best review so far of this device. I really like Richard's style of reviewing. 1st class!!!
I love your voice! You sound so enthusiastic which is great! You made this review much nicer to watch than most other reviews I've seen! Love your character, subscribed :D
I don't think I speak for just myself when I say I think I would watch you review a plate or something similarly mundane because it would still be entertaining!
This is an excellent review Richard. I was considering my tablet purchasing options as it would come in handy for Uni. I was leaning toward the new Nexus 7, but after having a go with a Hudl owned by someone on my course, alongside your review, I've just purchased one. Yes, the cameras are very poor, but I've got a high end smartphone for my photo needs and quite frankly, anyone who uses their tablet often for taking photos, need to give teir heads a wobble.
I'm thinking of buying one of these to go travelling, do u know if u can transfer photos from a digital camera to it via a USB cable incase u have a camera that doesn't use micro SD cards?
Good review. Can you tell us if the micro USB port works with USB on the go? Can you plug an a USB stick or portable USB hard drive via and adapter and have the Hudl read from it?
Richard is absolutely right about getting your micro-hdmi-hdmi cable from amazon. I ordered one for less than £3 and that included free delivery. If Tesco are hoping to make a profit with their accessories for this great device then I think they are going to be very disappointed.
I've just brought a hudl from tesco outlet on ebay for under £70. Its been refurbished but it still comes with a 12 months warranty. Here's the link www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TESCO-HUDL-7-LCD-TABLET-16GB-ANDROID-4-2-WEBCAM-BLUETOOTH-QUAD-CORE-RED-DD3-/400721694176?pt=UK_iPad_Tablets_eReaders&hash=item5d4cdfcde0
How is the Speakers sound quality? Compatible in drag n dropping of files from Mac to device? Games and apps works with no lag or crashes so far like 3D-intensive games? Does it have bluerooth? Can you connect a bluetooth device to it or send files to & from another Android device? Is the phone support 24/7? Im choosing between this one and the Nexus 7 so it would be nice to have some advice on this. THANKS.
May i ask as i got my one today is when i watch a music video on youtube the video that plays is only small so how do i enlargen that somehow on youtube thanks
what about iTunes music and movies…… guess it can't access them due to the DRM copy protection'but anything you have ripped yourself I assume could be put into the card and seen on this?let me know thanks
The camera is not crap it's adequate for video chat and in bright conditions OK for casual playing about with creative apps. Crap is 0.3 megapixel vtech smile junk. For the price is rather have them than not. Asus memo pad 7 had better cameras at a similar price but no HDMI out. There are tradeoffs alone the place. Take a test in store before paying with cash. That's the safest bet. The biggest let down well be GPU performance on latest games but again you pay a lot more for an all singing mdl.
Lewis Przybyszewski my first hudl tablet broke cause its charge wouldn't stay and when I tried to get a new one they were all sold out! I have my new one now and its blue!
The cameras on this device are quite frankly crap and only really suitable for something like Skype. However, my view is that if you want to take pictures then get yourself a proper camera. The cameras that come with tablets and even smartphones are not really designed to take award winning pictures unless your looking to purchase a really high end device and if thats your intention then why are you watching a video about a £119 tablet :)
Wow! This guy could sell me anything. Such enthusiasm. Cracking review.
Brilliant review Richard. A practical demonstration without criticism. Great i am off out to get mine right now.Thank you very much.

Love your style Richard, Hudl looks great.
Your videos are very good and now I cant wait until I get one at Christmas!
I got this device and I really recommended this to everyone the price the spec it just can't be beaten tesco has a winner here

You are such an awesome reviewer!! I just bought one of these because of this review!
Wow!! Brilliant detailed review! you've just persuaded me to buy one of these!!!
I agree 100%. I've watched this several times and think that its the best review so far of this device. I really like Richard's style of reviewing. 1st class!!!
I just got one of these a couple of days ago, and entirely share your view. Lovely little tablet, and such a bargain :D
I love your voice! You sound so enthusiastic which is great! You made this review much nicer to watch than most other reviews I've seen! Love your character, subscribed :D
yeh its like watching chris tarrant on ecstasy..
Love the enthusiasm, nice approach compared to the usual whoppers
I don't think I speak for just myself when I say I think I would watch you review a plate or something similarly mundane because it would still be entertaining!
Great review sir honestly, should be on TV imo.
Thank you very much, I wish I had the looks, but I have a radio face!
+Richard Hirstwood hahaha
You've convinced me, I'm getting one!

Also do you happen to know if it has a flight mode like the apple devices do?

Getting one now, Thanks a bunch!
It is unresponsivde at times which is very frustrating, I hope they can sort it out before I made my mind to gi ve it back
Thanks for the great review. This tablet only got 2% less score than the Ipad mini did, in the Which magazine.
Can you tell me what the photo and video quality is like please?
Great video! i'm planning on buying one for myself

DARREN J Possibly preowned or ex-display and refurbished. Software will be factory default I think.

i know same thing happened to me
Me too had mine to day hope you get yours to :)
Yeah I got mine today as a replacement for my old one it stopped turning on so I had to cough up 119 quid to get the hudl.
ok
Lewis Przybyszewski my first hudl tablet broke cause its charge wouldn't stay and when I tried to get a new one they were all sold out! I have my new one now and its blue!
Was not happy with this tablet there was a sound problem when i used my headphones and some of the apps were unresponsive not for me got my money back

nice tablet? tes, but i would rather pay the extra 30 quid and get a jxd s7800b. google it and check it out. it is a monster
yeah but for it's price it's a great tablet for it's price
