There is, however, no headphone jack so you can’t use this as an MP3 player or for audiobooks or audio narration. There’s no easy way for us to test this but suffice it to say, this isn’t a device that’ll run out of juice quickly and the microUSB port means that when it does you shouldn’t struggle to find a cable to top it up quickly.
