Verdict

The Verizon Ellipsis 7 is a budget-friendly 7-inch tablet featuring a 1280 x 800 IPS display and powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core processor with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage, expandable via microSD. Its primary strengths include its built-in 4G LTE connectivity on Verizon's network, front-facing stereo speakers, and a 4,000mAh battery that provides reliable longevity for basic tasks like web browsing and e-reading. However, the device suffers from significant performance lag during multitasking, poor viewing angles on the screen, and disappointing camera quality from its 3.2MP rear and VGA front sensors; additionally, it lacks 3G/2G fallback, meaning it loses all mobile data if 4G coverage is unavailable.
