a new tablet for less than $200


Recommended Posts

Would avoid the China branded ones. Been looking at these, $219 + GST (need to read reviews if this is the lowest price) but you can get $5 off if you collect enough points. Somehow don't have a WiFi version which could be cheaper.

Thing about old models is that the Play Store/App won't work over time and you got to use browser based and a bit wonky.

Reliable as in if they will send broken product? From the comments, it's bubbled wrapped nicely (got pictures). Though for these pricing, it's not the latest model and battery has been sitting since it's production. Remember to do video unboxing in case anything is broken during shipment or doesnt start up.

Perhaps the SIM card might not be compatible with SG (so do your own research prior).

this is one of the best deal available, always get sold out. its a legitimate samsung export set from korea, downside is no local warranty.

 

LTE version for this price is a steal, dun even need to look at wifi version.

 

locally this is selling at SGD 448.

I was thinking the WiFi version could be lighter, but it's not, here's a summary.

After you buy, please feedback. My Tab 3 had 2 battery changes myself but still usable using Chrome browser for youtube. Might still last me another 2-4 years i think.

I'm using Chuwi Hi 10 X Pro. Bought it last year for under $120. It's now selling at a slightly higher price around $140 on Lazada. 

 

It's 10 inches, has SIM card slot for 4G, WiFi, Bluetooth, and a slot for SD card. 

 

Both front and back cameras aren't very good and the speakers are too soft for me. I had no issues with build quality since using it for almost a year now. Overall, I think it's great value.

 

Chuwi may not be so well known but it's not one of those 'shanzai' products. The company is legit.
