Is this tab ok?

Conclusion:
Get Kindle PW 5 Signature after done some survey
Kobo no stock

Thanks for all the feedbacks

I got an Alldocube 50mini pro nfe. It's a helio g99 processor with acceptable performance. Good screen suitable for reading (what I do mainly) or media (sometime). I read novel mainly so size 8.4 is good as it's like holding the book. But if you into comics then look for non mini version. It come with android 13…and forget about updates

1st one got 350+ 1 star review.

2nd and 3rd reviews say one of the slowest tablet they ever used..

as always, buy cheap buy twice.

edited: forgot to mention i got a galaxy a7 lite as gift, market price 5-600, UI swiping only lag like crap. even my kid also got tired using it.. cannot imagine using anything cheaper...

Reviews got fake
some users feed back.. slow, screen half is dark, speaker no sound etc

If buy for reading.. I suppose touch screen clear and function is enough probably
and durable 3-5yrs

I bought 2 cheap tablets of different brands online for relatives' kids during mco, it turns out very limited function, slow n unstable. Other relatives also had same experience. They're now all unsupported.

Not worth the money
