Kung pang Viber lang this will do. Comes even with Lollipop.

Yung Acer at this price is still using Jelly Bean and looks toyish

What is the difference between lollipop and jelly bean?

Latest Android OS version is Marshmallow, before this is Lollipop, then Kitkat then Jelly Bean.

The older the OS, the more power hungry and cumbersome to use.

You should buy at least a Kitkat tablet. Some apps won't even run on very old OS

Sa mga local brand or china. Start mobile lang ok ang quality base sa experience ko.. Lenovo and asus is ok. Kung midyo mahal naman samsung.

Kung viber lang naman ok na jellybean. Pag natuto sya ng ibang apps, palit na rin sya ng tablet/phone kasi na-u-utilize na nya

jelly bean.. kitkat.. lollipop.. marshmallow.. in order of "advancement".
all delicious..
traces down from a candy firm (nestle?), i believe.. who had an investment...

i think kitkat should be the lowest choice, if the popular apps are to be run-able..

look up the requirements of the apps you intend to use, so that you may decide what minimum driver you should consider.

Consider also a model with a decent front-facing camera if you want to escalate a voice call to a video call.

Oh yes! Not sure if there is video call on viber?

Yup. But you have to start with a voice call then click on the camera icon to escalatae to video.

[sirkosero]

Facebook din may video call...

Mas gusto ko fb

Huawei is a good brand also.

I'm looking for a cheap basic tablet. It will be used only for viber. A smartphone is too small. It's the user's first time to use this technology.

Have you tried checking the tech area F SM malls where they sell cell phones, laptops etc? They have a lot of brands like Cherry, star etc that are within your budget. When buying cheap tablets, you have to test it & consider the display clarity.

one thing i have learned re. consumer goods..
"we usually get what we pay for."
it's cheap because someone scrimped in its manufacture. but it will probably take a week or so of use, for the buyer to find out just where the scrimp occured..

"...but i can live with it..." is a lie.
"i refuse to buy another, better one..." is probably the more truthful statement.

but if the item is for giving away to someone, i suppose buying cheap is "ok".
"if i didn't spend money for it, i can't really complain about its weaknesses.." "if i spent for it, i can complain even if only because i don't like the color.. inside."
it's all psychological to me.

heh heh.

my un-solicited advice, is to get the more expensive (or most expensive) one that you can afford. i foresee that that tablet will soon be tasked to do more than just viber.
when the user finds out just what else it can do, (s)he will quickly learn how to appreciate and maximize its capabilities..

have fun, comparing and buying.

You're making it more difficult for the TS. The enduser is a 70 y/o senior so I don't see the tablet being maximized to its fullest potential.

And not to mention, the TS knows the enduser better than all of us combined. If she says that it's only for Viber, I'd listen to her.

Just my 2c.

i was talking based on personal experience.
binigay namin kay elderly yung tablet, so she can "keep in touch with the apos".
aba...! after a few weeks, kung anu-ano na ang ginagawa sa tablet...
but yes... it's not my relative we are talking about..

my apologies.
