A friend bought a Teclast tablet from amazon and it appears that tablets are all the same under the skin as an equivalent Samsung at £300 +
 £135 for an 8Gb model with a 6000mAh battery
Android 11 or 12
It seems to be good value and I am considering doing the same
Any comments? 


If I was half as smart as I think I am - I'd be twice as smart as I REALLY am.

    I never seen their product in real life, but I know Teclast is a well known brand in China.

    I've never heard of them 
    Are they OK then?
    They even connect via 5g (SIM) 
    I don't think that I can go wrong?

    If you purchase it from Amazon then you can get a refund if you don't like it.

    You are correct - good idea
