Third-party reviews

What customers like about EE Eagle 4G (1GB + 8GB)

  • Affordable 4G connectivity as the UK's cheapest LTE tablet at launch
  • Stylish and slim design with a metallic-effect finish and a lightweight build (329g)
  • Decent battery life, often lasting a full day of steady use
  • Responsive quad-core performance for everyday tasks and basic gaming
  • Includes front-facing stereo speakers for better audio during media playback
  • Expandable storage via a microSD card slot

What customers don't like about EE Eagle 4G (1GB + 8GB)

  • Mediocre screen quality with low 1280x800 resolution and visible pixels
  • Outdated software, shipping with Android 4.2.2 or 4.3 Jelly Bean
  • Huawei's Emotion UI skin removes the traditional app drawer, which some find messy or 'childish'
  • Average camera performance, lacking sharpness and low-light capability
  • Limited internal storage (8GB or 16GB) before adding a memory card
  • Screen sensitivity issues where touch inputs are sometimes ignored

Verdict

The EE Eagle is a budget-friendly 8-inch tablet primarily designed to offer affordable 4G LTE connectivity. It features a 1.6GHz quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of internal storage (expandable via microSD), all housed in a slim 7.9mm chassis that mimics the design of the HTC One with front-facing stereo speakers. Key pros include its lightweight build, reliable all-day battery life from a 4800mAh cell, and the inclusion of high-speed mobile data at a low price point. However, the device is held back by a relatively low-resolution 1280 x 800 IPS display, an outdated Android 4.2.2 operating system, and a cluttered user interface that lacks a traditional app drawer.
