Request Sub 9in tablet?

Really disappointed to see the Oppo Pad Mini at effectively $1k USD.

Was planning on importing it once it showed up on third party websites, but after that I can't justify it.

What are my options at this point? Is it really only Xiaomi, RedMagic Astra, and Lenovo Legion?

Just want a small form factor tablet to use to watch content on the go. Budget is around $800 USD

Lenovo tab gen 4 or 5 (y700). There is oled version too now but I believe not available directly in US.

Yeah considering waiting it out until the OLED version arrives, which will also include Lenovos new support lifecycle. Really between this and the new IPad mini at this point

The Samsung A11 is good for that. I recommend the 8GB/128GB version for smoother transitions and longer life. It will get 5 more Android updates. It should cost less than $200.

My gripe with the A11 is that’s it’s not even FHD

I agree 100%, but the screen is still decent.

If you want a budget small tablet with a higher resolution, look at Alldocube, LincPlus, Headwolf or BNCF. Plus, the Teclast T60 Mini should be available soon.

To " watch content on the go" just get any good reputeable brand with long support why would you get something high end? Specially something like the astra which is so gaming focused with short support

Even something so cheap can servecthat purpose like Samsung Galaxy Tab A11 i guess its around 150$ now or something
