On sale for a very low price is the XiaoXin Pad Plus tablet which is basically a somewhat cutdown version of the Lenovo XiaoXin Pad Pro 2020. There is an international version called the Tab P11 Plus that uses a MediaTek CPU and less RAM instead of the XiaoXin in this deal, however that has not been released in Australia.
The notable differences is that an IPS display is used so there's no blurry text like the pentile OLED displays used by the Pro's, the GPU has had a bump up in power thanks to the better Qualcomm chipset and the battery is now smaller. Regardless the tablet is still an excellent choice if you're shopping on a budget.
This tablet features Android 11 with Google Play, the mid-range Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G CPU designed for gaming (bumped up version of the 730G), 6GB RAM, 128GB storage (expandable), an 11" 2000x1200 TDDI IPS Display with 400nits brightness, 7700mAh battery with QC3.0 charging and 4 JBL speakers with Dolby Atmos.
For Netflix the tablet has Widevine L1 DRM, however you must install a new Netflix apk file manually on the tablet (same with other XiaoXin tablets) to get FHD.

Not that PayPal gives you a lot of safety but there is a reason why this mob doesn't accept it. Whenever there are issues the customer ends up being the dumb one.
