This is the same version on a 4" phone. Very usable.

Then it's a design decision? To have micro size controls on bigger devices? I see the problem on several other tablets, how is it not a bug that the dpad downsizes to where it's barely visible, much less usable.
Yeah, but we are not talking about a 9.7" touchpad. On my 10" Galaxy Tab, it looks fine, on a 4" Samsung phone it looks fine, but on the this 7" Craig tablet @ 800x480 resolution, the entire dpad is smaller than one button on the 4" phone, hence the bug report. Each button on the dpad is no bigger than 1/8th inch, while on the phone they are almost a 1/4 inch.
Good to hear. I've tried to change the buttons in-game but it has no effect. The tablet also has a zoom function in the status bar but also does nothing. Appreciate the constructive comment.
I've attached some pictures. You can see that the entire dpad on the tablet is about the same size as the inventory boxes to the right. It's impossible to just hit one of them when trying to use it. I bought a copy of Minecraft PE for my son and daughter, ages 5 & 8. They both have the same tablets and phones, but the tablet version is too small for even their fingers. My son just plays it on the phone, but my daughter is not getting to play at all, because she doesn't like playing on a 4" screen.
Oh, and
MCPE-28andMCPE-1086seem to be duplicatesThanks guys for your time.
Yeah, poor wording on my part. I guess I should have said they were also experiencing similar issues and mine might be a duplicate, but there seemed to be little activity on them. But regardless, I'm grateful for Mojang investigating it.
