What owners say about the Fuhu Nabi 2 (1GB + 8GB)

Based on 187 owners sharing their experience in online comments

22%positive7%mixed71%negative

Owners like its kid appeal and helpful recovery guides, but frequent failures leave tablets stuck, unusable, or unable to charge.

What owners dislike

  • Owners report the tablet getting stuck on the black Nabi logo, the Android robot, or initializing or formatting screens during reset or after the recovery steps.33
  • Owners find rooting tools hard to set up, with PC driver and PdaNet installs failing, and some guides and files no longer working on newer versions.17
  • After entering recovery, owners say the volume buttons do not move through the menu, so they cannot pick the reset or format options.16
  • Owners say the tablet will not charge or power on, with a red and green light that stays on, the charging port coming loose, or a blank screen.15
  • Owners report the Nabi ID sign-up fails with a no-internet error even when Wi-Fi is connected, so setup cannot continue.11
  • Google Play and common apps are missing or limited9
  • Owners say Wi-Fi shows as connected or locked but reports no internet or fails to connect to their home network.8
  • Owners say the screen cracks easily when dropped, and after rotation the edge touch controls stop responding; repairs are hard to get outside the US.6
  • Owners say the tablet freezes during use, while charging or on startup, and may stop at the home screen until it is restarted.6
  • Owners say the Nabi stays locked with a password they cannot remember, and the usual shutdown or reset options do not clear the lock screen.3

Verdict

The Fuhu Nabi 2 is a 7-inch kid-focused Android tablet powered by a quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of internal storage, expandable via a microSD slot. Its primary characteristics include a rugged, drop-safe red silicon bumper, a 1024x600 resolution display, and a 2MP front-facing camera.
