    1:34 Android Go Edition is a light version of Android that is missing several features. If a device has that, then it's a low-end device. That's why it has all of those "Go" apps.
    4:06 That looks like it has the default AOSP square icon shape instead of the Google Pixel round icon shape that I prefer. It also has the AOSP teal accent colour instead of the Pixel blue!
    4:33 Yeah, I can tell that the Chinese ODM that made it were lazy with their customisations, as I believe the volume keys on the nav bar are part of the Android sources provided by MediaTek and Rockchip.

    The Rockchip RK3126C contained within this tablet implements the same 32-bit ARM Cortex A7 MPCore as the Raspberry Pi 2 does. Both in a quad-core configuration. By no means powerful, but able to handle simple tasks. Though I feel sorry for anyone in the undeveloped world who gets their hands on this device and upon the first time accessing a network gets treated to advertising sucking up all their bandwidth.

      On further reading, the orange Sylvania (North America) and green Sylvania (Europe etc.) are different companies, but originated making light bulbs some 100 years ago. I'm fairly sure the European one just makes LED and fluorescent lights now

    In a tablet like that you need to close out every app that's open before opening a new app. The memory gets used up really quickly. If I do that with mine it's actually a very usable inexpensive device.
