These "cheap" tablets are either fake or the sellers are scam artist

Always buy from "official" shop

Got a Teclast years ago.

Decent, good for just reading. Very minimal lag when switching from YT to browser.

But screen brightness super bright, esp at night on lowest setting

Touchscreen kaput within warranty period but need to send back CN to claim warranty. Not worth my hassle so just left it.

Then alldocube better

Keep dropping and crack the screen protector

But screen as responsive as ever

Also very bright and colorful 2K screen

And zero lag because 8gb ram

10 - 20 reviews might be fake, over 300?

i got a 5-600 pad also lag like mad, read my edited post.

Most of these cheap tablets are rubbish. Reviews are mostly fake. Spec is very very fake also.

If want just for reading, just get a e-ink.reader. battery lasts forever.

Otherwise step up a bit and get a proper tablet... Can get decent China ones in the 500-600 range with a unisoc CPU. Look up teclast, alldocube or the kind. My son has been using the teclast P20HD for quite a few years already...actually I'm surprised it has lasted this long after breaking 2 iPads

my advice is dont buy cheap tablets with lousy screens, screen is very important as u will be looking at it all the time, and especially for reading

i got a cheapo realmi pad mini tablet, its cheap and the screen is low resolution 1024x600 resolution or something, not full HD or 2k screen, the words is blur and i can see many pixels, very hard to use for reading

I don't think kid like e reader, just but a samsung a or amazon fire, it cost less than 400 to 500 during promotion. me use this cheap tablet for series and pdf book ie one with many pictures, diagram, chart, drawing etc. I used to buy china brand many years back but I don't like they have very short period of software update and support.

32in 1440p monitor ppi 92, people are using also.

Only use for reading book

seems like eReader better than tablets for eyes?

eReader = kobo, kindle
Tablet = Alldocube, Teclast, iPad, Xiaomi/Honor/Samsung tablet

Get a Kindle Paperwhite 5. I use mine everyday and a purchase that's paid itself back way more than the price I paid for it.
