    I want the Sim variant ;(

    • +4

      4G version has bugger all 4G support. You'd be better off hotspotting from a phone.

      • Need it for school lol…

      • Works fine so far with a Telstra SIM. But yes band support is very limited.

        I wouldn't rely on it for any life and death situation at all.

      • Switch it over to 3G only. Likely to have better frequency coverage for 3G on these tablets.

      • -3

        How can you say hotspot is better then Bulli in cellular?

        I running iPad cellular off the cheap Vodafone sim without a single issue and quick no updates running over hotspot chewing up data either

  • I have this tablet, bugger it's way cheaper here than when I bought it.

  • I picked one of these up a few months ago at about $200. Fantastic value, mainly use it for Netflix on the plane.

  • The codes don't work for me. It says "promo code does not exist" for both GBsale22 and GBsale222.

  • Code doesn’t work?

    • +1

      The code starts tomorrow

  • Yay its back!

  • GBsale22 OR GBsale222 ?

    Apply the coupon GBsale22 to get it for $112.51 US (~$148.54 AU)

    • It's GBsale222 and the code already seems to be working.

    • All fixed up now. I typo'd originally then their system seemed to have had a heart attack but all good now.

  • Damn it, I just bought this ydy

  • Wow that's cheap. Thanks OP. I have got one.

  • -1

    I heard the China version doesn't come with Play store. Is this the case?

    • This one does.

      • -1

        Are you sure? I can only choose China warehouse. Not HK.

        • +2

          That's where the stock is located and is irrelevant. The product page says it has GPlay and when this was posted it previously no one reported it missing GPlay.

        • I purchased mine for a few weeks ago.

          It came from the China Warehouse and it DOES have the PLAY store.

    • +2

      They flash the Euro rom onto it, it does have the Play store.

      • Good to know. I heard people talking about annoying notification LED and spotty wifi. Anybody can comment on this?

        • +7

          I hate when people talk loud as well.

        • LED is bright but you can turn it off.

          WiFi seems fine at my house. No issues with drop outs etc.

          One issue is sometimes depending on the App it can take a VERY VERY long time to install.

        • Notification is fine personally.

          WiFi is dodgy on my WPA-EAP connection. I go through phases of constant drop-outs or long requests and perfectly fine. Actual speed when it's working is fine.

        • @jlogic:

          Play Store is a PITA on this tablet. Not sure why but if you start an update and it just stops, close Play Store from Recent Apps then reopen it to work around this issue.

          Also, LineageOS 14.1 has just been ported: https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/twrp-lenovo…

  • -1

    How long is shipping? I need it before end of the month so properly no chance?

    • Pay 15$ extra you'll get it in two weeks.

    • +2

      I paid the extra 0.50~ cents for the priority shipping.

      It arrived in SIX business days.

  • Would this be ideal for watching movies and playing games on a plane ?

    • Specs seem to suggest it should be

    • +1

      Sure. 8" is a little small for a tablet, but it would play videos and most mobile games just fine.

    • Only reason why I bought it… mainly for media and games.

    • +2

      I have this one as well as 10" surface. This 8" screen is unfortunately too small and not comfortable for watching movies, it needs to be too close to your eyes, like 40 cm or thereabout and it is just not comfy. 10 inch is where it is comfortable and enjoyable watching movies. However I still travel with this 8" lenovo since it gives me superior screen when I do my travel research or just read the news, emails etc (or need to type) compare to a phone. I used to have 6 inch phone and again the 8 inch tablet beats it to dust with comfort, however nobody wants to carry 8 inch around… and I even dont want to carry my 10 inch surface :)

  • +2

    One suggestion for those with the tablet or are looking to get one.

    Install Lux on it… the auto brightness controls on it are useless. It defaults too bright in darkness and not enough brightness when in daylight.

  • -1

    What 8" Android tablet is best for around $200-$250 at the moment?

    • -3

      not this one.

    • +1

      Might be worth checking what you can get the Huawei Mediapad M3 or M5 for. Those are pretty great. Also the Xiaomi Mipad 2 or 3 are pretty good too.

  • +1

    Android 6.0 with a locked bootloader…

  • +5

    This coupon has reached it's maximum limit.

    • I got this message too

  • +7

    Coupon's reach it's limit — is there any chance of a new coupon being issued? Would love to purchase…

  • crap just realized the coupons hit its limit already - doh!

    clear - any chance of more ?

  • Is this upgrade able or stuck on android 6?

    • Confirmed to be stuck on Android 6.0.

      Still getting security updates though. Just got one recently.

  • Good for gps navigation?

    • Yeah, I wanted the same, any good?

  • Refresh of code or new one please????

  • This coupon has reached its maximum limit.

    • maximum limit has been reached by this coupon

    @clear

    Rep, is it possible that we can get it at this price still?
    I am looking to get a couple of those for me and my wife.

    Cheers!

  • +7

    I will ask Gearbest for more stock.

    • +1

      Any luck mate?

      • +3

        It's 7:43am in China…

        • Early bird gets the Lenovo TAB hehe

          I'll be monitoring this deal rep

        • Hi Rep, if possible please include the screen guard bundle.
          TA

        • +2

          @haiprazzad: I'm not the rep. I'll ask Gearbest though.

        • @Clear: …also following…

  • Would this tablet be better performance wise than a Nexus 10?

    • sanpdragon 625, 3g rom.
      It's a really decent specs.

      • Don't forget 1080p screen at this price point make this tablet really good value for the price

    • Nexus 10 is a classic, I would keep it if I had one

      • I have one, still works ok. But wouldn't mind something that plays android games and can run emagazine readers with slowdown/stutter.

  • Awesome tablet, really fast - best paired with a 64GB microsd card (or higher).

  • Damn tried to get one last night but coupon expired… hopefully they will put another one out.

  • Waiting for more stock also…
    What's the shipping like with these guys? Anyone had a damaged tablet or eg. faulty camera?

  • Anyone got the order cancelled?
    I bought from gearbest in the past and ALL my orders has been cancelled and refunded.

    • -1

      They do the same with me. It looks like they look at your paypal history and if you have ever done a paypal dispute they will just cancel your order.
      Mine was a dispute with yoshop.com for an order that I never received even after 3 months.

      • Hm..I don't know they can view my paypal history. That is not good.
        Anyway, I normally request refund if we don't get the item before expiry from paypal protection. I think either 2 or 3 months.

  • -2

    Not sure how this deal can get 100 upvotes if it was reported as starting today, reported to have ran out at half past midnight and then others are getting their order cancelled.

    • You vote on OzBargain to highlight what you think is a good deal. Clearly 100 people have thought this is a good deal considering its the lowest price it's ever been.

      Others have had their order cancelled? You mean 1?

      • I upvoted at first too, but it's too easy for any company to offer a qty of 1 at the lowest price they've ever been, get great exposure, mailing list signups and waste people's time signing up by your stated criteria. Only a single person above has stated they successfully applied the coupon—usually far more report and say thanks for a deal with 100 upvotes.

        • This isn't one of those companies and had significantly more stock than 1. With over 2000 clicks on the deal a hundred could easily sell.

        • @Clear:
          how many actually did sell?

          i checked back today, as it did originally say today

        • @taoz: About 60 odd

        • @OzBargain F5er: on this deal? Because others could also buy on a slightly less good deal without the code. They'd sold less than 60 when I tried and this deal was dead.

  • +1

    haha, I missed the deal for this tablet again. Thumbs up though OP. Great deal.

  • -1

    So, was this deal a total scam? It worked for about 2 people?

    Others reported the supplier previously canceling deals for no reason. They make you sign up for an account before you find out if the deal works.

    Seems very scammy.

    • +2

      Your entire comment doesn't even make sense. Where did the only 2 people ordered come from? Where did the others report cancelled orders come from? I only see 1 mention of that.

      Perhaps we should look at the stats of the deal? 100+ votes and over 2000 clicks. There were actually 50 units for this deal and restricted to AU IP addresses only.

      • I see one comment from someone saying it worked. And BA it maybe worked for. So, I was rounding to 2 confirmed.

        There's clearly 2 people saying the supplier cancelled their order, not one, they're in the same chain.

        If there were only 50 units, that should have been mentioned. However, when you clicked on the deal, it showed 300 or so available, then they had it not work after you gave them all your info.

        I'm sure there were a lot of clicks, but 2k clicks means bugger all when there's only one confirmed that worked.

        Edit: Clear, I'm not having a crack at you. But the deal they gave you seems like it was designed to get our details, not be a deal that was going to last the full period.

        • +2

          I see one comment from someone saying it worked. And BA it maybe worked for. So, I was rounding to 2 confirmed.

          This deal was originally posted at 9pm and was unpublished as the coupon was not working which is when BA commented. No one could order. Mods republished just over an hour later when the coupon started working again.

          If there were only 50 units, that should have been mentioned. However, when you clicked on the deal, it showed 300 or so available, then they had it not work after you gave them all your info.

          I found out the quantity AFTER the deal end when I asked Gearbest to extend the coupon. The website shows stock available for their own flash sale and does not reflect coupons. This has been mentioned countless times in GB deals.

          But the deal they gave you seems like it was designed to get our details, not be a deal that was going to last the full period

          I see you're new here. Have a look at Gearbest's post history. They have had hundreds of deals with hundreds of votes. They already have half of OzBargain's details and they would have nothing to gain from it.

          Besides, what's the full period? According to the rules there must be a minimum quantity of 10.

        • +2

          I don't know why Clear has to make things clear for everyone. Clear has obviously found a deal, 100 or more people thought it was a deal. Cancelled or not is not clears fault clearly. So why argue over this? If your order got cancelled go and clear it with gearbest. If you got it thank clear so he/she knows that you have got it. If you missed it like me wait for another great deal.
