Controls could be better.

 

Even though battery life isn\'t that great, I can live with that. The controls are an issue for me. 4 Buttons do not a D-pad make. They don\'t work as well as a D-Pad. The Analog controls are stiff and hard to control. Finger also keep slipping off the...

This is one of the worst android gaming device. I bought one back in December but I sent it back as I was unable to use it for more than an hour without the charger. The apps freeze most of the time. They replaced my device but only the battery life...

Freezes most of the time. Bad viewing angles
