Afternoon all,
I'm after a cheapish tablet to use with a Telstra data sim. No smaller than 8" but 10" would be preferred. It's doesn't have to have amazing specs. Will just be used for web browsing and streaming the odd movie or tv show. The best I've come across is a Samsung Tab A 10.1 16gb from Kogan for $359 (https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/samsung-tab-101-t585-16gb-cellu…).

Otherwise there's the Telstra Essentials Tab 8" for $129 but it doesn't fill me with confidence.

Has anyone seen anything else decent out there?

Cheers.

Edit: Telstra tell me they sell the Telstra Enhanced Tablet 10.1 outright for $288. That seems like a decent price for the specs. Does anyone know who makes it?

Very little demand for LTE tablets nowadays so there are actually few options in Australia

I don't recommend buying no-brand stuff overseas as the quality tends to vary a lot, plus there's no warranty of any kind.

  Also that Telstra Enhanced Tablet 10.1 is a huawei with 2GB of RAM. Confirmed with chat just now.

  Thanks. I had looked at Gearbest (I got this one in an email today https://www.geekbuying.com/item/VOYO-i8-Plus-4G-Phablet-3GB-…), but I don't really want to go down the grey import route. It's for my in-laws so I'd prefer if they can take it back to the store if warranty issues occur. For an extra $30ish bucks for the Tesltra/Huawei I get 10 inches and a warranty. I think it's worth it. The extra specs of the Lenovo aren't useful to me.
