Can anyone advise me of an Android 10" tablet with OTG facility, so that a memory stick etc can be used with it.
I'm particularly looking at the Samsung Galaxy Tab A, and the Lenovo A2 A10 - 70.

You're looking for OTG without an OTG cable, as in just plug a USB stick directly into the tablet? I recall seeing a couple of tablets with that feature, but not sure which or if they are the size you're looking for. Is there a reason you'd prefer not to use an OTG plugin adapter? It would massively increase your choice of tablet...0

IME a lot of tablets support OTG. Just use google to check it your choice of tablet does before committing. Some do need a support app to do so some of which require root.
There are USB sticks with a standard USB adapter one end and micro USB the other. I got one and found it wouldn't work with the tablet in a gel case though. In truth given the ungainly multi jointed OTG set up you're better off with a micro SD slot. The only reason I tried OTG was because I had a Google Nexus at the time with no SD slot.0 -
USB at one end, micro USB at the other ..
