Hardware

Chipset Chipset is a group of integrated circuits designed to perform one or a more dedicated functions, often with real time computing constraints, Popular smartphones are equipped with more advanced embedded chipsets that can do many different tasks depending on their programming.	MediaTek MT8165A (28 nm)
CPU	Quad-core, 1500 MHz, ARM Cortex-A53, 64-bit
GPU GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is a single-chip processor designed to rapidly manipulate and alter memory to accelerate the creation of images in a frame buffer intended for output to a display, This includes things such as lighting effects, object transformations, and 3D motion.	Mali-760 MP2
RAM RAM (Random Access Memory) is a type of computer memory that can be accessed randomly, any byte of memory can be accessed without touching the preceding bytes that allows information to be stored and accessed quickly from random locations. RAM is the most common type of memory found in computer systems, smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices.	2GB
Internal Storage Internal Storage is a data storage space (flash memory) mostly used in smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices where operating system, apps, music, photos, videos, files and other user data Is stored.	32GB

Memory cards allow you to expand the phone's built-in memory, A memory card (sometimes called a flash memory card or a storage card) is a small storage medium used to store data such as text, pictures, audio, and video, for use on small, portable or remote computing devices such as mobile phones, mp3 players, digital cameras.	Yes
Sensors Sensors are electronic components that detects and responds to some type of input from the physical environment. The specific input could be light, heat, motion, moisture, pressure and location, The output is generally a signal that is converted to use in computing systems, a location sensor, such as a GPS receiver is able to detect current location of your electronic device.	Accelerometer
3.5mm jack	Yes
Loudspeaker	Multiple speakers
Audio Technology	Noise cancellation microphone

Battery

Reviews

User Reviews 1 User Reviews	Some of the aspects we really liked include the latest Android 9 Pie software, lightweight and portable design, excellent battery life with up to 8 hours of video playback, built-in CloserTV app for easy access to streaming services, IR blaster to use the tablet as a remote control, kids mode with parental controls, 5MP front camera for video calls. - H2TechVideos
User Reviews 2	I checked out the new Alcatel Joy tablet and was impressed with what you get for only $168. I like the sharp and vibrant 8-inch IPS display, long battery life thanks to the 4080mAh capacity, quad-core processor, 32GB internal storage with SD card slot, IR blaster for controlling TVs, and 5MP front and rear cameras. The tablet runs the latest Android 9 Pie software and has band 71 600MHz support for fast LTE data speeds. - TechOdyssey
User Reviews 3	The plastic build feels cheap and the 720p display isn't the best quality, but it's usable for basic tasks. I think Android 9 Pie is fine for phones, but the enlarged interface doesn't translate as well to tablets. Performance is sluggish at times with the slower quad-core processor and 2GB RAM, but it should be able to handle lightweight games and video streaming alright. The rear speaker audio quality isn't great, so use headphones for better sound. - Tech Titan

We recently got our hands on the Alcatel Joy Tablet, and here's the lowdown on why it could be a fantastic choice for those on a budget. This tablet offers a lot of bang for your buck, and we've identified some reasons why it might just be the right fit for you.

Display and Design

The Joy Tab packs an 8-inch 1280×800 IPS display, ample 4080mAh battery, quad-core MediaTek processor with 2GB RAM, 32GB storage plus microSD expansion, and dual 5MP cameras.

It ships with Android 9 Pie out of the box. Models with 4G LTE connectivity are available.

Battery Life and Additional Features

The tablet provides very good value, especially for kids or anyone seeking an inexpensive media consumption device. The overall performance is decent for the price, effortlessly handling video streaming and lightweight games.

The smooth and vibrant screen works great for movies and websites, although sharpness doesn't match more premium tablets. Battery life also impresses, lasting nearly 8 hours on a charge.

Camera and Multimedia

On the downsides, build quality feels cheap due to the all-plastic construction. The cameras offer poor image quality, acting as more of a spec-sheet checklist item.

Audio from the single rear speaker can also sound tinny and distorted at high volumes.

The Joy Tab gives you just enough power and features to enjoy entertainment and web browsing, even on the go if you opt for the LTE version. It ships with helpful built-in apps like the CloserTV streaming video aggregator and a capable kids mode with controls.

In conclusion, for consumers seeking a secondary device for their child or even themselves strictly for fun without breaking the bank, Alcatel's latest tablet deserves a close look.

While power users and creative pros will need to keep looking, the Joy Tab hits all the right notes as an affordable entertainment slate.
