    I was able to find an international version of the new Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 on ebay for $170 and ordered it before I found out about this tablet. I think I might try to return/cancel the Samsung and go with this one instead; the lack of support and Android updates are the only things that give me pause with the Alldocube. But it will be worth the gamble, I think.
    It is so odd to me that Samsung (and even Google with their new tablet/hub) are so averse to the small form-factor for the American market. I want a great screen (high quality 1080p or better, 90hz refresh, and all the nits!) in a

If I can figure a way to overcome this, then this is an awesome mini tablet phone.

I also have a Galaxy S24 Ultra 1TB, an i9 64 GB RAM laptop workstation and a Xeon PC Tower workstation with 256 GB RAM. If I wanted anything from Apple I could easily afford it.

    I think an Alldocube may be my next budget tablet. That one is too small for my tastes, plus I wish it had more LTE bands. My Umidigi tablet from a few years ago has all of the bands, yet the LTE reception generally sucks. My Lenovo P 11 Pro Gen 2 is actually great, but it's WiFi only. Have to use up all of my hotspot if I'm traveling. Alldocube looks like my best bet. Teclast had poor to no LTE reception unfortunately. Have you tried a Sim Card in yours? If so, how was the reception?

    I searched and searched and you're right. There just isn't any other good 8-inch tablet in this class! The household names like Samsung and Lenovo need to up their games and make a small MIDRANGE tablet. I just bought mine today on Amazon flash sale. Got the 128GB Pro version for 125.99 but they did have the 256GB like in this video for $140 on sale as well. I just didn't need the extra storage for my purposes. Super excited to test it out! My goal was to pair it with my Gamesir G8 and Playstation remote play. I was gonna go with the non pro version initially but it wasn't on sale (I think you can get it for 70) so this was a better deal and now I have a legit tablet with enough ram to use it for things other than remote play for minimal extra cost.

    I'm in the medical/caregiver field and need a tablet to do my work (emails, paperwork, reports, medical, power points and training videos, etc) but it needs the security and software updates.
    It needs to be easily portable and move around with me in multiple scenarios in the workplace.
    And since I would only be using it for work, I obviously don't want to spend much.

Thinking of picking this up too for something that is very light to hold for extended periords. I wish the speaker situation was a bit better, but not a deal breaker.

      The lower 4gb of RAM on the A9 really makes it suffer. I bought both and used them side-by-side and the A9 functions noticeably slower and with more lag. The only things the A9 has going for it is the screen aspect ratio and the fact that it is made by Samsung so you will get better and longer software and security updates. Other than those two things, the Alldocube truly is superior (better screen resolution, more RAM, more storage, more overall performance).
