Question 1

does it have google play store with apps?
can I stram movies to my tv using chromecast?

Accepted Answer

It has the google play store with apps.

I have not used my Trekstor Xiron 7 to stream movies to my TV using chrome cast, so I cannot answer that part of your question.

I bought this unit to control a robot I built - the robot control app only runs on an Android device.  It works fine for that, but that wasn't your question.

Sorry I can't help further.

Question 2

how is the visual quality . would you say better then a regular LCD display?

Accepted Answer

The visual quality is great. Definitely better that what you would expect for a "cheap" tablet. Remember that this also has an IPS screen and a decent resolution compared to most other cheap tablets and even some that were more expensive than this one.

Question 3

is this a phone?  verizon service? Does it store pictures?

Accepted Answer

This just a tablet, a mini computer, using the Android O.S., wifi, blue tooth, micro USB port, micro HDMI, 2 cameras, and Micro SD for flash storage up to 32 gigabytes.
Yes, it will store pictures, video and most any other data a computer will store as long as it has storage space.
I use mine for remote access to internet when not at home, sharing info, pictures, and video with friends and relatives.

Question 4

Can the OS (Android 4.2.2) in this device be updated?

Accepted Answer

It is not rooted and does support manufacturer's OTA upgrades. There is a built in upgrade link. I don't know if the hardware configuration supports upgrades to KitKat etc,. Email the manufacturer. They may have a future OS upgrade planned.
I assume rooting it would void the warranty.

Question 5

How is the front camera on this? Will it look okay for skyping?

Accepted Answer

It is usable, but definitely not anything close to, say, a Nexus 7 tablet. Very low resolution on the camera - but it does work.
