![]() Kobo is using a capacitive layer, but at times I thought it was a resistive screen, which means that I had to press harder than usual to get swipes and taps to register. ![]() The panel itself is a problem, but the touchscreen quality is even more troublesome. ![]() B&N and Amazon raised the bar when it comes to the display quality on their respective offerings, and the Vox simply doesn’t keep up here for the price. Kobo is claiming that the display is easier to read on outdoors, but when I held it next to the Fire near the window it was just as reflective. Subsequently, the viewing angles aren’t great you can still hold the tablet off axis and make out black and white text while reading in bed, but colors quickly fade at pronounced angles. The 1024 x 600-resolution FFS+ display isn’t as bright or crisp as the IPS displays on the Nook Tablet or Kindle Fire and colors look washed out and muted, especially in graphic-rich books. First, there’s the problem of the actual panel. I started to hint at the terrible display above, but you haven’t heard anything yet. To sum it all up, the Vox may look like every other tablet from afar but in hand it doesn’t feel as nice as the Nook Tablet or Fire. The silver-colored buttons, as you might have guessed, go along with the plastic feel and are reminiscent of the controls I once had on a plastic Rio MP3 player. Surrounding the tablet you’ll find a power button along top, a volume rocker along the right edge, a 3.5mm headphone jack and microSD card slot on the left rail, and a Micro USB port on the bottom. For all intents and purposes, the Vox is still very compact for a 7-inch tablet it just should have been thinner. 53-inches thick, and considering the much more powerful Fire and Nook Tablet measure slightly less at 0.5 inches, the bulk really isn’t forgivable. Still, it’s really not enough to make up for the use of supbar materials everywhere else and the thicker frame. To its credit, the single aesthetic distinction - a quilted, rubberish back - does give it a comfortable feel in hand. The edges and the screen (more on that below) are the worst offenders - both just remind me of something you’d find in Toys R ‘Us. While the blue, pink, or green color options may distract from the build quality, the black version I was sent couldn’t mask the cheap plastic exterior. PayPal, Shopify’s own ShopPay, credit cards, Google Pay, Apple Pay.The Vox’s design is almost as unassuming as the Kindle Fire’s, and that’d be fine if it didn’t feel so poorly made in comparison.
