Hi Guys,
Looking for above. 8 inch so it is portable. Budget rm 1000 More for reading, watching movies. Wifi is sufficient. No need to insert sim. Must be light weight as well. I have 2 10.1 inches already. It is heavy and i find it not that portable. Thanks. |

Maybe a Lenovo Tab M8 Gen 4? (note, budget low end tablet specs) https://shopee.com.my/Lenovo-Smart-Tab-M8-4...596.11253706812 or a Samsung Tab A7 Lite or Tab A9 (Tab A8 is 10 inch) would get A9 as it is newer and better speced\ or a Realme Pad Mini you can go lower with lesser known brands like Teclast P80T/P85T or a Blackview Tab 50/60 but the specs of those are so low end it's... concerning and they may not support netflix alcatrez liked this post

QUOTE(alcatrez @ May 28 2024, 01:11 PM) Hi Guys, I am in dilemma as well. I have tested samsung a9 at samsung store and i was suprised that its really light and easy to bring everywhere as my pocket notes or media consumption.Looking for above. 8 inch so it is portable. Budget rm 1000 More for reading, watching movies. Wifi is sufficient. No need to insert sim. Must be light weight as well. I have 2 10.1 inches already. It is heavy and i find it not that portable. Thanks. But then i think the spec is too underpowered and it might not be able to run some apps that i need since almost all the new upcoming apps require more space and consume more memory. I dont mind top up more but sadly its hard to find decent 8 inch tablet. This post has been edited by mewanpanda: Jun 12 2024, 04:43 PM alcatrez liked this post

if you dont care about androids updates and just need a decent 8 inch tablet, can try alldocube mini pro NFE, it supports Netflix L1 certificate and running android 13 on Helio G99 which i think give reasonable performance. alcatrez liked this post

Anyway, for the price it works like how it should be, no other similar price range tablets with the same processor, +bonus sim card slot nebula87 liked this post

I’ve had good experiences with the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 and the Lenovo Tab M8. They’re both light and compact, which makes them great for reading and streaming on the go. I found them both under RM1000 and pretty easy to handle compared to larger tablets.
