What is the Best Phablet / Tablet with a Sim?

Hi all,

Just wondering what is the best value for money Phablet or tablet that can take a sim card at the moment.

Not fussed if it's an OEM or non name brand.

Thinking maybe around the 8 inch mark (basically for taking OS so I don't need a phone and a tablet).

Cheers all

  • 8 inches isn't a phablet anymore. It's a full grown tablet.

    If willing to put up with 6.3 inch display:
    Galaxy Mega 6.3 or Xperia Z Ultra

    If you want 7 inches, perhaps get the ASUS Fonepad 7.

    Please note that not every 3G tablet can make or take calls! There are probably only a select few tablets in the 8" form factor that can do calls.

  • Galaxy Note 1 is cheap and powerful enough for modern webpages and media.

    After that you get into full tablet sizes, and I'd go a Windows8 tablet anyday :)

    • <3 my Surface Pro :)

  • galaxy note 8 with 3g or 4g if you want an 8 inch with call capability

  • Cheers all, maybe give up on the phone ability then.

    What's the negative with something like this:

    Battery quality is likely to be rubbish? not sure if 7000maH is good?

    I have no idea what processors are good etc? From the outside it looks like the HDMI output / kitkat / quad core / 16gb ROM / 1 GB RAM sound good? 1024*600 screen is not so good?

    • That doesn't have 3G. Note that it says Supports 3G dongle. In Layman terms, it translates as "No 3G capability".

  • Yeah, I'm going to give up on the phone support in favour of a decent screen / battery/ HDMI out / Kitkat

    Something like this:

    or bang for buck?

  • Sold out!

    Anyone tried one of the PIPO tablets - Notably the M7T ?

    Only tablet 8"+ I can find with GPS / HDMI / WIFI / Flash camera/ 3G + Phone ability

  • Came down to only 2 tablets on the entire planet (that have a decent camera with flash, phone & 3G data support, hdmi output, can be charged through USB, an internal GPS, 8" or above and at least 5hrs + battery…. and they were both made by PIPO.

    I went with the PIPO T9 - 8.9" 32gb Rom / 2gb Ram- Octa Core (plus above specs).
