Verdict

The Verizon Ellipsis 8 HD is a budget-friendly 8-inch tablet featuring a sharp 1920 x 1200 IPS display (452 PPI) and reliable 4G LTE connectivity. It is powered by an octa-core Snapdragon 617 processor with 3GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, which can be expanded via a microSD slot up to 128GB. Main pros include its surprisingly capable 8MP rear and 5MP front cameras, a thin and lightweight design weighing approximately 0.7 pounds, and a solid 5,100 mAh battery that supports up to 14.5 hours of usage. However, notable cons include its outdated Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system and occasional sluggish performance or dropped frames during graphically intensive tasks.
