[Android Central Question]

I just bought a Android tablet. Haven't installed anything. It's that slow and freezing up non stop, won't even allow me to download anything it's that bad an its brand new Android version 4.4.2 model number Q88. It's not my network

Welcome to Android Central! It sounds like a super-cheap (both in price and quality) and super-old (KitKat) direct-from-China device. The hardware is without a doubt grossly underpowered. It was probably slow even for its time.

I agree with @B. Diddy that is almost certainly not a recent device, based on the OS version.

There have been articles posted to the front page of the site in the past, cautioning against super-cheap devices for just this reason -
2013: https://www.androidcentral.com/ac-ho...-cheap-tablets
2014: https://www.androidcentral.com/pleas...t-black-friday

That device is going to quickly lose support from apps, due to its OS age/version. If you can get a refund - DO IT.

It's an A23 Dual Core 1.5GHz 512MB RAM 8GB storage 7" tablet. GearBest (ouch) has it for $46.58 (plus $1.88 shipping). It's probably "clean out the back of the shelves" month - from 2014. It's not a bad price if you want to use it as a book reader or to show pictures, but that's about it.
