Ordered on 24 Sept. Today (11 oct) received. Not that I urgently need it but shipping could be faster.

So far the usual apps I don't see available on pad 5:
1. Astro GO
2. SHOPBACK

I upgrade from Huawei Mate 8.9. this pad 5 is like a giant. So far it's good for me. Speaker is surprisingly good. I was bit skeptical Abt the screen. Was using amoled Screen for years but it's actually good. No complaint about screen. Hv to get used to the size.

Primary reason buying this is media consumption but astro GO not available. Netflix is working.

Apart from sideload, can access Astro Go through browser?

Sideliad is one option but updating is a hassle. I used to root and sideload apps but on older phone. Im not a fan of buying new and doing thing the unofficial channel. Part of the reason Android lag behind iOS.

Any idea how to get Netflix with widewine L1?

I was using Huawei mediapad 8" perviously and no issue with installing apps. Mostly I think the tablet is recognized as a phone. Now pad 5, I'm seeing more apps not available. Shopback, astro go, decathlon, carlist.

There is a reason why iOS is so dominant. The ecosystem support is just better than Android. I don't get why I can't install decathlon apps, carlist... It's a bigger screen.

Apps like shoppe and Lazada not optimized for landscape but still work tho looks ugly in landscape. Never the less still available.

Don't understand. Probably will not be buying large Android tablet anymore after this.
