Excellent price on this awesome tablet from Alldocube that's packed with features. You can checkout a review from Techtablets and Gaming/Emulation review from ETA Prime. The 128GB model usually sells for around this price, so having the 256GB model at this price is a good deal.
Featuring Android 11 (stock with Google Play), 10.4" 2000x1200 IPS 540 nits Display, 8GB RAM, 256GB storage (expandable via MicroSD), Dual SIM, 4G with B28, 6200mAh battery providing 8+ hours of usage, quad speakers, WiFi ac, Bluetooth 5.0 and GPS. It's powered by the UNISOC Tiger T618 Octa-Core (2x A75, 6x A55) CPU that's been overclocked to 2.0GHz instead of the usual 1.8GHz to provide better performance.
Now onto the downsides before people make a comment without reading the post. The tablet will likely stay on Android 11, however Alldocube are known to release firmware patches and security updates on occassion. There's also no Widevine L1 DRM so Netflix/Prime will be in SD quality.

Now for those wondering how it compares to other tablets in this budget Chinese price range. The direct competitor is the Teclast T40 Plus and Techtablets did a comparison. In short the iPlay 40 Pro has faster RAM/storage and clocked CPU resulting in better overall performance (especially in the ROM) as you can see in the video. The Teclast does have a brighter 680 nits display as well as a 3.5mm jack, but half the storage.
Also better than the Blackview Oscal Tab I shared for nearly half the price. iPlay 40 is pretty much better in everything, namely the CPU, RAM, Storage and Display.
