What use is a kick-ass tablet if it will only last you a few minutes or hours? Well, basically, that is what Verizon is harping about with the newest addition to their Ellipsis® brand, the Ellipsis® 10 tablet, a 10-inch device with full HD display and probably the largest battery capacity in its category. It is available of course exclusively on the Verizon network and has a 4G LTE capacity so that you’re always connected wherever you are (well, wherever there’s signal of course).
The 10-inch, 1920×1200 pixel display tablet has a beveled-edge design, which seems to be the design of the moment for smartphones and tablets alike. It also has a soft-touch rear enclosure that is both practical and nice to look at as well. It runs on a quad-core processor which clocks in at 1.5GHz. It has 16GB of internal storage but that can be expanded to 32GB through a microSD card. The cameras aren’t something to sing about (but then again you wouldn’t take photos with a 10-inch camera right?) with a 5MP main and a 2MP front-facing one.
Probably its “crowning glory” is its 9100mAh battery that should last you for 25 hours even when you’re using it. It has the largest capacity tablet that is being offered by Verizon. The downside to this is that the device is of course heavier than some other tablets in its category, due to its large battery. It weighs in at around 19.75 ounces, which is heavy compared to the iPad Air 2 which is at .96 pounds (but with a smaller battery of course).
However, the Ellipsis® 10 tablet will come with the Android 5.1 Lollipop out of the box, and not the Marshmallow yet. You can get the tablet for $199.99 with a two-year contract. But if you want to get it upfront, you pay $299.99. The carrier also offers an installment plan where you just need to shell out $12.49 every month for the next two years.

The Elliipsis 7 was the tablet that insured I will never buy another Verizon tablet. Don’t walk, but run away from anything with the ellipsis brand name. It claimed 8 GB of storage, but what they didn’t tell you is that 4 GB couldn’t be used for apps and 2.5 GB was bloatware. A tablet with 1.5 GB of storage for apps is worthless. Zero support or updates to fix the problem. Verizon immediately abandoned the tablet after the shoved it on people over the holiday season as a “free” (Really $240) promotion to dump this piece of junk on unsuspecting users.
Not exactly true. We also got the ellipsis 7 free two years ago. Just about a year ago we got fed up and complained to Verizon. In fact they were well aware of the issue. There was an update that had to be done by them that formatted thr device and fixed the storage issue. Since we sent it in and got it back in about a week the E7 went from a POS to my wifes favorate thing. Im still using an ipad3… But when this Bfriday came about we pulled the trigger on the e10. If she does not like it we can return it. However we will now know what to check having used the E7. If they had offered the new E8 (second generation) for free we would have gotten it instead. However there was a bigger discount off the E10. My only fear is the weight will turn off my wife. But the screen size is more like my ipad. We shall see. My point was that the E7 did have a problem but it was fixed and became a very usable device afterwards. Verizon messed up first time out and did fix it.
