Whats the difference between these tablets?

Rev

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between these two tablets?

Just after a large screen tablet to stream using kodi, spotted these in argos but can't work out the difference?

Processors.

The £149.99 states it has a MediaTek mt8165 quad core processor.

The £119.99 states it has a MediaTek msm8909 quad core processor.

Thanks, so the £150 one is worth the extra?

I would like it to last a few years, don't expect a tablet costing £150 to last 4 years+ like the ipad has but would like to get a year or two out of it.

Very pleased with it, just use it for web browsing, face book, etc, not games as the like.
its recently updated to a later OS version and thats really improved the battery life
would certainly get another one

Thanks. To be honest I find all these android tablets a bit confusing. I have always had iPads but its main use is streaming with kodi and its stupid to buy another iPad and be dependant on jailbreaking when android has no such limitations.


But with Apple you want an iPad there's only a few options its the 10" or the 8" one and that's it. With android there's so many to chose from I'm getting myself confused haha.

One thing you shouldn't get confused about is whether a £100 android tablet will have as good a screen as a £400+ iPad - it won't. A £200 one maybe would though - you pay a fair bit for the branding. The same is true with android however quite often paying for a known brand is not money wasted.

You need to checkout specs and read reviews paying careful attention that the model you are considering is exactly the one in the review.

Welcome to the future where you have what we non Apple users call choices.
Want to install apps on your device without being told you cannot? Then the future is here.

Want a device with a slightly bigger screen or it must have an SD card slot or many many options then there will be something out there.

Bought the wife a tablet, came in a nice leather folder (well leather maybe ambitious) with a keyboard on one side so it works like a laptop. But you can slide the screen out and use as a tablet.
