          Looking up "SC9863A gaming" on YouTube will give you some results on its performance. I don't think there's any Roblox in there so I can't say for sure. Seems to do alright in others.

      These are a55 cores which are slightly faster than a53 cores, my $40 Huawei y550 phone from 2014 has a53 cores, yet the android market is still saturated with these.

      The T610 has a75 cores, almost twice as fast, not sure if legit or not do your own research:

        It's legit. There's others with the T618 and that's about ~10% better than the T610.

      You can get a multitude of generic brands cases and screen protectors that will fit this size, its probably not going to be a molded hard shell with a millimetre perfect fit but a quick search for 10" tablet cases on ali/fleabay/jeffbezosonline should yield plenty of results.

    These are pointless if you're going to be using it mainly for DRM Enabled Content like Netflix as it doesn't support WideVine L1. Unless you're fine with 480p quality.

    Better off with a Galaxy Tab S4 and above or Lenovo/Xiaoxin Tab P11.

    • Clear on 08/09/2021 - 18:10

      CHUWI HiPad Pro with for about US$256 before discounts has Widevine L1, as well as a Qualcomm CPU. Unfortunately there's literally only 1 left on AliExpress so I can't share.

      • whyisave on 08/09/2021 - 18:23

        Can that CHUWI get a custom ROM ?

        • Clear on 08/09/2021 - 18:36
          +1

          With a Qualcomm CPU it's certainly much easier but that's going to require someone to release a custom ROM. I know in the Alldocube lineup someone released a custom ROM for the iPlay 30 and that's using MediaTek. I haven't really seen anything else for others yet unfortunately.

          • whyisave on 08/09/2021 - 18:53

            @Clear: Thanks for the reply.

            I'll check XDA.

            I thought I'd ask, because sometimes they're known by the generic name,
            and i don't know that (if they're called CHUWI or BlackView, etc. )

            • Clear on 08/09/2021 - 18:55
              +1

              @whyisave: Chuwi, Blackview, Teclast and Alldocube ROM's aren't interchangeable with each other. Alldocube are the only ones to release firmware updates official but it's usually bugfixes.

              • whyisave on 08/09/2021 - 19:01

                @Clear: i suspect they are not interchangeable.
                what i meant was, sometimes Chinese brands are known by a different name,
                for which the developers have ROMs released for…

    • sidoz on 08/09/2021 - 19:46

      Galaxy Tab A7 is cheap also. It is very much a budget tablet though, i have it and the screen has slight ghosting for fast motion sports and its buggy with Kayo (sometimes a *^&%# to get to play smooth, but no issue with netflix and other services).

    • Clear on 08/09/2021 - 18:38

      US$158.59 with the discounts if you buy the version with the keyboard included.

      • htc on 08/09/2021 - 19:27

        Works out to about 216 AUD, so is this excluding GST?

        • Clear on 08/09/2021 - 19:29

          That was a inc.

          • htc on 08/09/2021 - 19:34

            @Clear: Have you got one this unit? Is this the same as the android system used in phone? How is this compare to Chromebook?

            • Clear on 08/09/2021 - 19:38
              +1

              @htc: Nah I don't have this. It's the same Android as used on a phone, except Blackview have reskinned it a bit so it's different to how stock Android is but not by a great deal.

              If I was looking to do more word processing I'd probably opt for a Chromebook. Typically these tablets are good for web browsing, light gaming, videos etc.

              This would be a better buy with a keyboard due to the iPlay20S being a better tablet. The downside is that the keyboard included is not part of a case so it would sit separate.

              • htc on 08/09/2021 - 22:49

    Considering the high-resolution display on this tablet, anyone wanting a shiny new tablet to stream content (Netflix, YouTube…) is in luck.

    This tablet not only has a good resolution display but also has a very impressive screen to body ratio, making this a VERY tempting tablet for anyone who doesn't want to spend too much money.

    Additionally, the inclusion of 4G LTE + USB-C charging are neat features that usually cost a premium on more expensive devices.

    While this brand name is unheard of, this is an excellent tablet for the price and is suited best for streaming video content

    • Clear on 08/09/2021 - 18:05

      There's no widevine L1 DRM in this one so Netflix is restricted to 480p.

      The CHUWI HiPad Pro is the only Chinese tablet yet to have Widevine L1. Normally I'd share it but it's out of stock.

      • Zackeroo on 08/09/2021 - 18:34

        Oh my bad. I didn't know that existed to be honest. I take back what I said haha, this would still be good for YouTube but 480P is pretty sad for today's standards

        • Clear on 08/09/2021 - 18:39
          +1

          Yeah impacts Netflix and Amazon. YouTube will still be 1080p no problem.

          • Zackeroo on 08/09/2021 - 18:47

            @Clear: Could even go higher than 1080P if you used YT Vanced. YouTube compression makes 1080P look a bit bad, but playing in higher than native res significantly improves visual quality

    • Clear on 08/09/2021 - 18:04

      Depends on the shipping method the seller uses or what you selected. Sometimes I get them in 2 weeks with something like ePacket, while others are a couple of months.

      Your order would say the estimated time. The lockdowns in NSW certainly won't help.

    • NigelTufnel on 08/09/2021 - 18:57

      Thinking the same. I'm thinking best would be to build a frame that you can mount and slide it into. Frame can cover any bezel as well.

    • cli on 08/09/2021 - 20:55

      3D print a frame.

    • Ti-au on 09/09/2021 - 15:25

      buy a cheap plastic case with no cover. $5 or so.

      Use 3M Command Tab/Strip and stick the cheap plastic case onto (preferably concrete) wall.

      Done.

      (better than screwing anything to a wall).

      I guess biggest issue is hiding the cord, so get a L shaped USB connector.
      These look nice - https://www.borofone.com/product/cables/usb-cables/usb-c/cab…

      Or this would be even better in case animal/child/moron pulls cable by accident.

      It's an unbranded tablet. There's plenty of those exact ones on YouTube showing that the RAM, CPU and storage in the ROM have been faked. You end up with 2GB/16GB, weaker CPU and at the very least a malware ridden ROM potentially.

      I'd rather go for an established brand like Blackview.

      • ozbpro10 on 08/09/2021 - 18:18

        tried another charger with no luck.. Will check on the warranty again I suspect.
