The RCA Voyager III costs the same as the Amazon Fire, but you're better off with the latter.

Who got this on there birthday and had to keep a smile?
Me LOL.
"...and the grill on the speaker has wide holes enough for crumbs to fall in"
Why the hell do you want to drop crumbs on a speaker!?!?!?! That is so stupid! Who would flip over their tablet and be like I'm going to drop food crumbs on my speaker.
I'm watching this on the RCA Voyager II. I've hard this tablet for 5 years and it hasn't troubled me at all.
I have the voyager 2 and just recent bought 3. 2 is superior 3 is lagy af like damn thats laggy, never had that on 2
same bro.
Nice I have this thing called an iPad, is for rich people, unlike you poor person
@@anastasiarodriguez1045 lol kid you don't even know. my tablet can do everything yours can do. (just has worse hardware) that AND if i want to watch a downloaded movie, I can just drag and drop it onto the tablet from my pc. Yours can't do that. Listen, I could go on and on about what my tablet can do that your's can't. But i won't. Think before you speak. That and think before you make yourself look like a fool.
@@anastasiarodriguez1045 dude shut up
Trying asphalt 8 on such a entry level tablet and then complaining about the lag is like putting orange juice in your cars gas tank and wondering why it won't start
Jesse Berhe true, why is she even trying to play asphalt 8 on a 50 dollar tablet. I bought a Samsung Galaxy tab 4 7 a few years ago for 200 dollars and it lags when playing asphalt 8 at the lowest graphics
Farhan Raza I own this tablet and asphalt and gangster Vegas works perfect on it
It’s a bad tablet even just to run a simple children’s coloring page app. Clash of Clans barely works. It’s the worst tablet I’ve ever seen.
trying asphalt 8 on a 50$ tablet is like trying to play call of duty black ops 4 on a 2001 pc and wondering why it lags so hard
sorry if you think i copyed you'res Jesse Berhe
you just inspired me
I mean, my 6 year old Samsung Galaxy tab from 2011 that otherwise runs like bollocks can run asphalt ok tho lol
When your first review point is "it's ugly" you totally void any credibility as a tech reviewer.
You don't play Asphalt with this kind of tablet…
i do and its amazing
Guy this tablet its not for games lol
This thing can barely startup without crashing. I got this tonight for $28 (Black Friday sale) and I feel ripped off. You’re better off just waiting and saving up for a $75 range tablet.
The terrible battery life is the only bad thing about the tablet. I have it and so far the device has been working fine no crashes
It cost $25 at my local walmart
which city
That's nice THAD YT
lol!!!
Bruh I checked it on walmart and its 9 bucks near me edit: but theres only one left though
Mine cost me less than $30 and I use as monitor for my outside cameras...It works great.
Hey is it NORMAL for this model to act weird with the battery status. Bought mine brand new I kid you not. And I charged it beforw using it, battery status went ape sh..t it dropped from %100 to %42 and then %15 in less than 1-3 MINUITES though right now I have it on again to see if it was just the security code walmart programs into these tablets to activate the device for the first time. So I rest it and tried again, it *slightly* improved but I rarely touch this one like my Acer nextbook 7in tablet which forces itself to shut down due to overheating of the device? Any repair tips that dont involve shooting or throwing it away. I have a older voyager but the screen is cracked to no picture but the battery is fine sorta.idk.
Yuck! people's pompous perception of cheap products is the reason why shoe companies can make you fools stand outside for hours.
You know what you're getting when you buy a cheap product. When you get a cheap product look at its value as how much is it effecting your current quality of life.
I have the Voyager 3 I've had it for 4 weeks. I downloaded some emulators and classic SNES games. boom that has to be $20 worth of fun right there. Also I'm a street musician. The size of the tablet and the song book applications make it way more easy to practice my instrument on the go anywhere, So in reality the Voyager 3 has made me money. Even if my tablet broke tomorrow, I don't even have the right to be mad or upset.
OMG Thank you!!
What emulators were you using? I tried loading up retroarch and it ran like garbage when I tried to play super Mario world. I got the tablet for free, was hoping I could turn it into a cheap emulation machine
F
I have a rca voyager lll and it works for me and especially I like the charger that comes with it, it doesn't easily break like other charger's.
When did it come out
I bought the RCA Voyager III for $15.00 at Walmart. All I use it for is to run my Bluetooth receiver playing music and Chromecast casting movies to my projector. I just leave it plugged in on my desk as a dedicated device, perfect.
This sounds like someone who doesn't know how to change settings or uninstall/disable certain resource heavy apps. I'm on my second Voyager after about 3 years (I wanted more storage) and I couldn't be happier. I refuse to pay premium prices for a pricier brand name.
Wow! I didn't know RCA still exist.
how does it stack up to the newest $50 Android Barnes and Noble nook 7?
I have one but it’s not terning on can anyone help with that?
Get a Galaxy Tab 4 SM-T230NU. The first one I bought was so good, I just got another one for less than $80. I definitely recommend it if your looking for a respectable tablet under $100.
Respectable??? Don't lie. That tablet only has 16gb total trash if you ask me. Get a nexus with 32gb for all your gaming pleasure.
Thanks for this video it's really a thorough check
I bought the voyager 1 in 2014, and mine still works, and I love i t !
Update for those who are interested - I bought the voyager 3 from walmart last week - it sucks. The new intel processor makes it a lot worse than the older version. Battery life is just over 1 hour and heats up within 30 minutes of usage. Apps can take up to 20 seconds to load up, the processor is trash. Stay away from this tablet. Gona return mine tomorrow. The screen is nice though, plays 720p 60fps youtube smoothly when the app decides to finally start working.
i got mine for Christmas and when i started it it was lagging and slow game crased so yah im going ge a job and get a ipad
It won't let me download from chrome it keeps telling me I need an Administration unlock on the voyage 3
I have an RCA tablet i using it now ive had it for 3 years its still working but the screen is not responding to my taps so i added a mouse to it just today i went for an OTG cable my parents brought this this sucks yes but im still greatfull for what i have and i have a phone also
This tablet downloads free ebook readers and free books from Project Gutenberg that's why I bought it. Jeff Bezos blocked Project Gutenberg on his Kindle Fire tablets which I find unethical.
"Battery life lasted only 3-4 hours with heavy use" I've played 5 mins of Final Fantasy Record Keeper and took that battery life from 100% - 1% and I just bought this yesterday.
gatoneko thats becuase RCA tablets are shit samsung tablets are better and ipads
Evreyone, I dont have the voyger but I have RCA android. I was going to use it for photography but then I noticed it didn't have a rear cam!!! Does anybody know why?? My brother has the same tablet and he has a rear camra!! But mine doesn't... Anybody know why???
What is the activation code
I have one of these tablets. RUclips works great on it, but literally everything else is terrible on it and I don't understand why.
i have an rca and it is working very fine !!!!
Where is the Nintendo Switch crumb test?
my voyager is crap, my battery drains like in 20 minutes, i only have a few apps. it also doesn't charge, and it just shuts off randomly
you can install google play through browser on a amazon fires so i would recommend amazon fire
My RCA Tablet was hearing everything :"(
I know is trash.
I have one it’s not all that bad ig😕it gets me through wen I need to do crap and it’s intertanment
Mine guest stoped working it’s not charging or tearing on 😭😢😭😢😭😢
@@wyworkman9815 v
lol just bought this. It's not as bad as I thought it would be. I just wanted a cheap android device to do things my iOS devices can't
i was going to get this just as a gps in my car...now not sure 4 hour battery???
The voyager 3 looks nice to me and runs nice. The new fire 7 with Alexa ain't in Canada yet. So it's best option for me.
Payne Musically instant Nook 7 available? If you can definitely check that tablet out it's a lot better than the RCA Voyager 3
NexlawLegacy I need a tablet for apps games and video and only one I can find is an 25 dollar ebook from nook
Payne Musically wow that sucks. but anyway they have a tablet Nook 7 and I heard it's pretty good. If you want to see it look it up here on RUclips watch some reviews of it but that sucks you can't buy it
NexlawLegacy im hoping that Amazon hq2 gets built in Canada so they can start manufacturing Amazon products in canada. Because when I called Amazon about the fire tablets. They said they can't get it over the border because of the battery. And America's new policies. America don't need no hq. Canada does.
Payne Musically I'm sorry to hear that, yeah that's sucks and I heard stuff shipped to Canada cost a lot more money than it does for us here in the US.
The battery life is terrible, though I have zero complaints about the IPS screen. The tablet tends to get warm even when just reading books which is what I mostly use it for. I find the brightness fine for indoor use and on the train. If you want to use websites, if there is an app available for the site you want to use, use that and not the Chrome or Puffin. Even Puffin is kind of slow, while Chrome is so slow it's unusable. Simple games (the kind I like) work just fine. I absolutely LOVE the fact that it has a power supply! Though you can use the mini-usb to charge, it also comes with a barrel charger that doesn't put pressure on the port. I have already had 2 micro-usb ports on tablets break and render the tablet unusable.
But the 8" fire HD is better in every conceivable way. It is 5x faster (or more), has a much larger and nicer screen, handles glare better and has a stupidly long battery life. You can watch movies for hours and hours with the $80 Fire HD.
Bout 3 of them for my kids omg they suck froze up and quit working. Just found my oldest daughter tablet figured out how to reboot it. It still takes forever to load ugh still checking for updates after 1 hour omg
I got one from walmart today for$ 28 and all i did was uninstalled the walmart samsclub and rca apps and it made it way faster its quad core.
I have it plus It works for me.. I'm using it rn.. Its a kid tablet not for adults. And So what if its cheap? Not everyone has the money to buy Ipad pro... And when you drop the tablet don't crack unless its countertop height
RCA is still in business ?
Yes and still has an ugly mutt as a mascot.
I wash I saw this video before buying. The mic volume sucks when doing voice calls.
Otg ?
I have Voyager 3, and it is working good
I still use this tablet to this day I call him quirky tablet he was good for his price, still is and he's an absolute hottie.
I'm watching this video on one lmao
Battery life stinks but a great tablet otherwise, I actually love it!
Can you plug a digital microscope to it ?
the thing is it has 16gb of storage while all the compatition has 8 gb
Lol, it's now 15 bucks at Walmart
What is with people hating on visible screws these days? I wish more things said visible screws. The other end of the tail light on my car is how old in buy a plastic clip which I broke crying-it-out changing a bulb. Fortunately that taillight gas a shape that holds it in making a plastic cab just redundant.
The reason why you don't buy dirt cheap tablets.
This feels more like a tablet for simple computing than mobile gaming really.
If you want mobile gaming, just get the better tablet, Sure it'll be more expensive but at least you'll have something that works.
I'm watching this on the rca Voyager III and she's right it sucks I couldn't load this video without you tube closing so I had to reopen everything
Well, it's actually easy to download the Play Store for the Fire without rooting it. All in all, the Amazon Fire and Fire 8 HD are pretty fantastic tablets for the price.
where do you get Play Store app?
I was considering purchasing an rca two years ago and it had terrible reviews. And it would break in less than a week
This tablet is good? Its crashes?
Pinkey Floyd in my opinion it is good. And occasionally it will crash but it is still good for its price. I have mine and after 2 years of having it no major problems
On my fire tablet I have 1 Mobile App Store and Aptoid App store, So I do have access to most games and apps available in the Google Playstore.
My parents bought me it and I dropped it and it didn't break but then when I touched it slightly the screen cracked ;-;
Stop hating on it be happy that you got something to use because I have the same tablet and it worked just fine and I had to stop at for 6 years it just started to mess up it just started to mess up so my mom just bought me a phone but my tablet just started to mess up the battery percentage actually lasted 6 hours this tablet was great
For the price and what it is ...not bad.Only problem I've had is speaker quit on 3rd day.Bluetooth speaker fixed that
I remember this haha. I went through 4 of these because the batteries exploded. Good times
Wow a tablet shittier than the Amazon Fire?
and I thought the budget fire was mediocre and so slow, even with the higher specs.
Who else is watching this on there RCA VOYAGER III to see peoples opinion
Me
I'm watching with my reca tablet
And it dose suck I Think my grandma wants me to suffer lag and and once its at 19% it drops to 1%
Apple haters would probably still rather have the Voyager over an iPad, though.
good point, i have an iphone, but i still rather take this than the ipad
I had one it last for only 4 MONTHS!
I have a rca 10 tablet? I love mine
Which one is that I'm looking at the delta pro 2019 version w android pie on Amazon. Otherwise might spend a little extra for Samsung tab a 2019 10.1.
i have this 1 and i just use it 4 reading
complaining about visual screws is silly. This is one of the easiest mobile devices to open up and fix that I've ever seen.
Too Late... i already bought one. The battery life DOES suck, the tablet crashes when i do the simpler things, and now it has a "Google has stopped working" Spamming error and no matter how many times i say "ok" it keeps spamming. So the only way to fix that problem is turn it off then back on. But overall, it is better than nothing at all, so it's not much to complain about when the other choice is "Nothing".
I find this offensive to some people who can't buy the better Tablets sure all your friends have an IPad but at least you get one
I ordered one on eBay… year 2021… it’s a small budget tablet that can do simple processes.. use as a game boy emulator and email…. It’s not made for 3D games which is why most reviewers complain about its low battery life. If you are running games like that on it…. It will consume much more battery life. Buy a tablet for what it’s intention is.. don’t buy a cheap tablet and expect to play Minecraft….duh
And it works much better than $70 Polaroid I wish I didn't buy. Gets a decent speaker that I can hear.
This tablet really isn't that bad. Its cheap for a tablet like this. The camera is decent, the battery is good, Its durability is amazing as well. it's not bad. It has even topped some IPads. It gets the job done.
I use the voyager and it’s not terrible and i don’t care about the lagginess, it works and I don’t care
That 500mb of ram though...
why did you not tell us about this
Now Of course the Amazon Tablet is faster than the RCA Voyager 3 Tablet
bought this piece of crap for my daughter . not worth a penny
Well I bought one. If it does what I want then good. I am not a gamer, I need to store information pertaining to my job. I have Wifii access throught TWC (Iknow) and all the major stores have wifii so I am not worried about that. I got about 4 hours non stop use so far, but have yet left the charger on more that 8 or 9 hours. It says it make take up to 15 hours to get a maximum charge so I will test that out tonight. I have my variouse emails on it now, pdf program, note pads calculator, and other non consuming programs. So I will see if it does what I want. If not, well I have blown $50 on a worthless date, so I think my chances are better here.
Everything in this video is right about the tablet, i have one and it turned off when it died and won't come on, battery goes to 100 to 70 in about 10 minutes, its so slow to the point where i hate using it, and its like they used old materials to make this thing.
I recently bought ZTE K88 from ebay for around 60 USD, which really performs great with its octa-core processor and 2 GB RAM. Being made for AT&T exclusively, it has 4G connectivity built in, on top of the cherry, I got it unlocked.
my wroks good its the same your saing voyager 3 itsgoog for me i like it
Or just buy a two/three year old iPad.
Thanks to your review im taking mine back tomorrow
LOL! Evidently this reviewer doesn't know much about tablets or was paid to give a crappy review. I purchased a Voyager III for the soul purpose of using it while waiting, in lobbies and reception areas, for appointments. This tablet is the best one I ever owned. There is no lag, plenty of memory, speedy processing, battery life is about 6 hours, and it has excellent graphics. I was so impressed with this tablet that I purchased 20 units and gave them for 2017 Christmas presents to my relatives and co-workers. RCA... Excellent product. 👍
I mean who wants a amazon tablet when theres rca much better
for me the voager is a perfect talbet and good deal
Virgilio Bautista hola amigo comparteme tu codigo de activacion compre esta tablet y perdi mi recibo con el codigo porfVor ayuda
Thank you someone that's actually looking at the positive
Its not
Funny how the Google play store doesn't lag and those 2 new games dont
I'm becoming stressed because of this tablet
this is is my tablet it work perfectly from like ten accidental drops from my knee length so its not bad i mean it is laggy but not all the time only for like roblox high graphics games my tablets not ugly I love my tablet this is ur opinion
toasty toast player hi can you shareme your activation code please😣 i lost.my receipt and cant use my tablet
Grammer.
I synced phone reset for other user to get they asking for last oner that synced phone to it and
tbh I don't lik this review why ya gotta be so freaking harsh especially with the title honestly I would've fired u
Fabulous Crazy Fam well its true
It's trash
I'm using one right now and look how much subs I have using it
I thought for sure I could root it and use linux but no its locked for no reason
I agree
I blame who ever give me the
bad all no good Voyager 3 tablet!!!!!
I told the person to buy an android tablet not a RCA tablet!!!!!!
thr fire taet is actually better and you can get play store extremely easilly (at least for me)
Its laggy because you guys dont have your SD card setup as default storage. All tablets lag with the more information you put on its internal HDD. Try moving all your apps to your SD card and make your card default storage. Lag free
Dude it’s good for Netflix and you tube
i can't believe any tablet can be slower than the cheap fire tablet, and then it doesn't have access to google play store; i don't eat looking at the back of the tablet so it's impossible to let crumbs fall into the spkr grill, duh
If it's not worthy of our time, why do you think it would be worthy of our money..
Boy, she got this right. Have only had it a short time, now won't charge. And jeeeez, when it DID charge, would only hold a charge maybe 2 hours. NO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheap tablets are so slow and look like shit i mean if you are going to buy a tablet buy a medium one
OMG is so easy to get play store on the Amazon tablet
