Lenovo P8 Tablet, same as Tab3 8 Plus in some market I think, is currently on sale at GearBest for USD $129.99 delivered (around AUD $169). Only the white version has the discount. I am still holding onto my old Nexus 7 2013 and it looks like a good upgrade.

  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 / Adreno 506
  • 3GB RAM / 16GB ROM / MicroSD up to 64GB
  • 8inch IPS 1920x1200 display
  • Android 6.0

There appears to be a way to root the device & install TWRP and but can't find any alternate ROM, which is a bummer as it has SD625.

Update: coupon code found by dragonindespair brings the price down to USD $124.11.

Update 2: Price dropped further to USD $121.11. Coupon code above no longer works.

Update 3 coupon usable again

      Thanks very much for the code.

      What really shits me about Gearbest one off coupon codes is as soon as you validate the code in checkout even though you don't proceed with the sale, you can't use the code when you are ready to purchase, i.e. you cancel the checkout to add an extra item or change the currency you pay it. Bang, code has been 'used'.

      I had to create a new account with a different email address to be able use the code.

    • luminair on 08/11/2017 - 09:25

      I tried the coupon code, but it actually jumped from 169.59 to 240.10! lol…

    Bought one from an earlier deal for ~$180.. the side mounted Stereo Speakers and the high res screen are great.
    Performance is good as you'd expect of a 3Gb RAM SD625 system.
    The ROM is pretty clean and stock Android.. Of the minimal bloatware installed, only the Lenovo P8 Specifications "app" is uninstallable.
    Haven't used GPS, or camera.

    I also bought the Flip case off Gearbest, it's very decent quality.

    • myclock on 07/11/2017 - 13:14

      I also got the tablet during a sale. Pretty impressed with it given the price. Paid roughly $180 as well for the tablet, case and glass screen protector.

      No, Android 6 only..
      I think the Tab 4 Plus is supposed to get Oreo at some stage, but ships with Nougat.

      • witsa on 07/11/2017 - 13:32

        tab 4 plus only seems to have a 720p display though…

        • ESEMCE on 07/11/2017 - 13:38

          Tab 4 maybe?

          The Plus range are different

          @scubacoles:

          yeah sorry i had a second look. You're right.

          So yeah, it's either tab 3 plus or tab 4 plus for my child.

          I'm leaning more towards the tab 3 plus as I can't find a good deal for a tab 4 plus anywhere and don't think he'll notice the extra performance gains.

          The dimensions are very close, likely holes for camera and charge are in the wrong spots, but nothing a Craft Knife can't resolve.

          This will be my tablet until their Nexus 2012 finally gives up the ghost.. It's on its last legs.. frame is all cracked, screen has already been replaced (and I'm never doing another one again!).

      In tablet world, you're wrong…
      There is nothing that comes close to this in price:performance
      Next closest would be the Huawei Mediapad M3 at around twice the price on sale.

      Even in phone world a SD625 with 3Gb RAM is going to set you back $140ish.

      • davedrastic on 07/11/2017 - 14:44

        Thanks for that.

        Well I might be partially right. It was my understanding that a quality brand name manufacturer were still around the $3-400 price range.

        Can I ask if there are many well priced Windows 10 tablets with good specs, or mostly Android?

        • ESEMCE on 07/11/2017 - 14:46

          Heaps of dual boot devices… but the cheap ones only come with 2Gb RAM which leads to sluggish response.
          In my opinion Windows needs a minimum 4Gb RAM.

        • davedrastic on 07/11/2017 - 14:50

          @scubacoles:

          Cool man, I appreciate that.

          A few years back I had a laptop with 4gb RAM and it was perfectly fine (Win XP). It was mid range at the time. I don't need a tablet so i'm not actively seeking but it would be tempting to buy a workable for Windows tablet for $200 or less that will be fully functional in terms of MS Office and Chrome browser usage.

          I did have an Acer tablet but I managed to bugger up the OS and couldn't be bothered with it afterwards.

      • lumiere on 07/11/2017 - 14:58

    My Nexus 7 2012 died of an un-glorified death, never to be resurrected during a ROM refresh.

    The file transfer stopped during bootloader load from PC, after I unplugged it, it's not responding ever since, not matter what key combination I tried.
    No screen light up even plug in charger!

    • ESEMCE on 07/11/2017 - 14:43

    • scotty on 07/11/2017 - 15:27
      +4

      My Nexus 7 2013 is still running Stock but 2012 is flushed with TWRP & Nougat. Sometimes it just won't boot and you need to hold Power + Vol Up + Vol Down (yes 3 buttons at the same time) and then plug in the power. Sacrifice a rubber chicken and when the stars align it might get into the bootloader mode. Maybe the chicken & star-alignment are not necessary…

      • jayzee on 07/11/2017 - 16:23

        I found you sometimes need whole comso align to your favor to get Nexus 7 working :-)

        In that regard, iPad is more user friendly. Probably worth the extra money for some.

        Fun fact for the Nexus 2013. If the touchscreen ever becomes unresponsive, a light/medium tap on the back fixes it! Seems to be a problem amongst them so keep it up your sleeve!

    • ethan961 on 07/11/2017 - 17:01

      The USB port on mine died suddenly, thought it was completely dead because it wouldn't charge but it worked with a wireless charger. Unfortunately the USB board isn't cheap, around $60. If you're lucky it might be just the $2 port but that requires some soldering skills to replace. Or, of course, it could be something else, but it should still charge for you…

      • ESEMCE on 07/11/2017 - 19:55

        I replaced my USB board.. it certainly wasn't $60.. but it also was unlikely to be a genuine part.. still works though.

        • ethan961 on 07/11/2017 - 20:55

          Just realized OP had a 2012 - those are cheap, it's the 2013's board that wasn't. If you know of a cheaper board for the 2013 I'm all ears as I'm still searching for one. Only one I found cheaper turned out to be a repair job on eBay that still doesn't work for data transfer.

      • imcold on 07/11/2017 - 20:16

        USB port is dead because it's loose, a problem with the Nexus 7 2013. Just open it up and squeeze the port with a plier. Or go wireless. IE wireless charging and wireless networks with your router.

        I managed to partially squeeze it a little without opening the case but had problems charging again within 2 weeks. Been using a wireless charger for 1.5 years. Edit I recently ordered a T8 plus as a gift slower but has dual 4g.

        This is considerable cheaper than the mi max 2, with same processor but with 4G.

      I got this tablet about a month ago. wasn't expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised.
      General browsing with chrome is fine,even with multiple tabs open. Screen I think is fantastic for the price!
      Included video player plays MKV H.264 files fine and the stereo speakers pack a really good punch. Very loud.
      Video looks great and watching a 1080 of Blue Planet 2 looked nice and sharp and crisp.Headphone jack gives no static that I could hear over plane noise when i used them for the first time the other day. All in all very impressed with the performance of this tablet for the $170 I paid for it, much better than the nexus 7 that the wife has.

      Considering price of Mi Pad 3 Vs this, I'm quite tempted to grab one of these. I'd love to see benchmark scores compared between the two.

      • singlemalt72 on 08/11/2017 - 09:32

    • peuwayaqdq on 10/11/2017 - 07:18

      Another consideration is the aspect ratio. Mi Pad is a 7.9" device with 4:3 aspect ratio which to be hones I would prefer to have rather than 16:10.

      • CyberMurning on 10/11/2017 - 07:22

        But for primarily watching movies, 16 10 is the best, right? And this p8 is 16 10?cant find info on the description page

      • CyberMurning on 10/11/2017 - 08:48

        actually i was wrong 16:9 best for movies, but this tablet yes has 16:10

        • peuwayaqdq on 11/11/2017 - 07:46

          Yes 4:3 is worse for movies I think … but I use tablet mainly for reading … that's why I prefer 4:3 aspect ratio if I got to choose. But purchasing decision is usually driven by the price/value ratio, not aspect :-D

  • Cleremy on 07/11/2017 - 22:24

      Haven't got it yet, but as above, I have ordered a soft foam kids case designed for a Samsung Tab S 8.4. Dimensions are the same, so should be a snug fit, but I'm guessing I'll need to cut out a hole for the charging port.
      Otherwise if your daughter is older and doesn't require the kids case, the Case that Gearbest sell is very good.

      • JimB on 08/11/2017 - 10:07

        https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/for-Lenovo-Tab3-8-P…

        They look exactly the same.

        Also, if someone has done their research, can they recommend a glass screen protector that fits perfectly.

        • ESEMCE on 08/11/2017 - 10:26

          Yeah, that'd be the case I have from Gearbest…
          It's very good.

          What do you need a screen protector for?
          Screen protectors for phones vaguely make sense, but for tablets I really don't get the point, especially if you are buying a case that will protect the screen in transit!

        • JimB on 08/11/2017 - 11:19

        im no expert but i read LOTS of reviews of Chinese tablet (when i said Chinese i dont mean huawei xiaomi or lenovo or asus, but very small brands icnluding telcast and yours post).

        while they can paint a rainbow in the descriptions, usually they are duds.
        they can put 50MPX camera by sony but quality will be on par with 12MPX from samsung (this is just example).

        other common issues:
        overheat
        unreadable screen under the sun
        wifi problems
        short battery life

        those kind of issues you can only find from reviews.
        i will stay away. no point to waste money even cheap money its still money

      I think that is possibly the Tab 4 Plus 8"?
      The specs between Tab 4 Plus and Tab 3 Plus are very similar. notable exceptions being the Android OS version and price. I believe Lenovo have promised an Oreo update to the Tab 4 Plus.

        Looks like you're right. A beast that'll likely never fully make it to our shores.

    Just wondering if buyers have been paying extra and adding the shipping protection??

    Worth the extra $$$?

      For anything over A$10 I add tracking number and insurance - prefer this to the nightmare of a more pricey package that never turns up (happened to me once already)….

      Although the tracking does not work properly with all delivery companies and some couriers will leave the package at your house and do not require a signature (i.e. package is untracked as far as I can tell).

      But at least with insurance you know that if it looks like your item is a no-show (i.e. you've waited at least 6 weeks since it was mailed out) you can ask them to re-send.
