Been using the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2019) since 2020. Was like US$129, still selling around that price. Solid little thing. Recommend ditching the Samsung OS and installing Lineage, as Samsung hasn't updated it past Android 11, and Lineage 20 is on Android 13. One I have is wifi-only, but there are GSM/LTE versions out there.
@@MinaSchloch Been fine. Only issue at first was the pull-down notification tray would sometimes blank out, and the power/settings button going off-screen when in landscape. Been fixed for a while now. Speed-wise, it's fine. Don't game on it, only music, videos, web stuff in Firefox, and light document editing.
Not that my touch devices look any better but I would recommend cleaning the screen from fingerprints whenever you want to showcase it in video (or picture for that matter) so it looks better.
The now discontinued blackview p9000 was the only phone I could find in the niche of "cheap smartphone that has a really big battery". I still think that this niche deserves more attention.
Is the video camera on the Blackview better the camera you used to record the video ? 😂 Only joking, these things happen. Just ordered the Tab 80 for my grandmother. All she wants is something to watch Netflix and RU-vid, and to be honest after using a Lenovo Tab 8 for the past 6yrs she'll think this is magical. Good review.
As usual another good video. Not sure if you mentioned it but can this tablet be flashed with plasma mobile? Ive been hearing good things about it recently especially with the updates to come from plasma 6
I enjoyed watching the review, it reminds me of the entry level Samsung tablet I got last year to get some experience with Android. It's an entry level Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2022) model and it's performance is much like this Blackview tablet - very entry level, works OK for the most part, but it does stutter when running apps like Microsoft Teams. The nice thing is it made me wish Apple was more open to allowing sideloading of apps on iOS. The only downside the tablet had was that I wish I could install something like Ubuntu Touch or KDE plasma mobile, but there doesn't seem to be support for this tablet - although the UB ports site seems to indicate that the tablet should be able to run Ubuntu Touch, but I am at a loss where I would even start. I do got to ask.... since you have that blackboard behind you... What's with "Paint fridge black"? That really caught my eye as soon as I saw it.
Important point: unlockable Bootloader? Because then you could out LineageOS, DivestOS or even better Operating Systems in it. Poor that Android doesnt opensource any of the Tablet / PC mode things. All manufacturers do things like pen input, Desktop mode, split view etc, all proprietary. So as long as its running that Google Android it is an unusable Tracking Device.
I'm looking for a tablet to operate a EV sound system remotely.. so I'm not looking for much other than good Bluetooth and a slightly larger screen than a smartphone. Decent decent RAM and decent storage size. Also an operating system that will not turn down volume automatically when you connect a 3.5 inch Jack. Which is what Samsung does and it's a nuisance. Would this fit the bill? thanks so much for the video
Hi how does the Instagram app look like on this tablet ? Does it go full screen like Samsung Galaxy A9+ tablet, i have stargardts (verry weak eyesight)
Tablets that can connect to external monitors are usually around 8x more expensive so I doubt it. The cheapest one with that capability I can think of is the xiaomi pad 6 pro.
2:11 Who really needs fingerprint reader? Don't you guys have brain cells to remember your password or at least a pattern? Please don't be lazy. There is no hurry to constantly look at the device. Constantly looking at devices as such is lower your attention span.
