Ozbargain's favourite tablet is back. It's been a while since this tablet has been posted here as there were issues with Gearbest shipping it to Australia. Looks like these issues are all sorted now.

I am using this tablet right now and have found it better to use than my old Samsung tab.

    Attractive package but confusing for me;

    This is wifi version, you can't make a call.

    ?Q Can this item call in and call out?

      I've got both the 4g and wifi versions of this tablet. Can confirm that the 4g version can make phone calls and the wifi one can't.

        It must be a giant phone when you use audio only call, imagine holding that near your ear.

    Just make sure you're happy with 3G as I believe the 4G bands are limited on this model in some areas?

    • CyberMurning on 07/09/2018 - 09:55

      oh yes thanks. obviously no band 28 but im fine as long others exits

    • Most Wanted on 08/09/2018 - 06:14

      Doesnt work on either 3g or 4g for me :/

  • jason andrade on 07/09/2018 - 09:48

    Is it $A189 delivered or do you need to factor in an additional 10% for GST on top of that ?

    It's getting hard to generally work out (other than on an site by site basis) which ones are adding GST on top of the advertised price if you're buying from AU vs which ones aren't… or just folding it into the buy price.. or require you to pay this yourself before you can collect (?)

    • Clear on 07/09/2018 - 10:00
      +3

      Joybuy, AliExpress and Banggood add GST. Gearbest do not.

      • monchee on 07/09/2018 - 10:41

        So how does it work?

        • Clear on 07/09/2018 - 10:43
          +1

          The sellers that are enforcing GST will add 10% ontop at checkout. The sellers who are not won't charge you an extra 10% and that's the end of that.

          The new GST laws put the responsibility for orders under $1000 at the seller and not customs.

        • monchee on 07/09/2018 - 10:50

          @Clear: So if Gearbest doesn't collect GST with ordering, how would I pay for GST for this product?

        • Clear on 07/09/2018 - 10:50
          +1

          @monchee: If they're not collecting GST then you're not paying GST for it. Simple.

        • Clear on 07/09/2018 - 21:50

          @nerdyfred07: In the ATO's eyes yes. Has no impact on us (the buyers) whatsoever.

        • FrozenFred on 07/09/2018 - 21:52

    • garage sale on 07/09/2018 - 10:20
      +1

      most things like the surface have a special stylus that communicates with the table and send things like angles and pressure … this allows you to write fast, small and accurate, otherwise you write big letters and it has to be converted to text (aka on my old Samsung tablet).
      options to look at would be ipad 2018 ($436) and either the stylus from apple ($120) or logitech crayon ($65) or Chinese copy ($30).

      Anyone who owns one can comment on this? My main reason for purchase is to have access to data on the go without using another phone for a hotspot, and make calls if urgent. Limited reception or network quality would put me off.

    I'd be all over this if we hadn't smashed our budget with other ozb deals this fortnight.

    Has anyone had luck with an sd card greater than 64gb? Specs say that is the max size but I know other devices with similar limits handle more without any dramas.

    • OhWellThen on 07/09/2018 - 18:02

      I have this, and inserted 128GB as an expansion mode (can't remember the term, the one that the OS will regard this as a primary storage) and shows the ## of 16.00 GB and ## of 117GB. I think I filled about 7GB to the micro SD, thus can only tell you this.

  • Click_It on 07/09/2018 - 10:44

    Would the Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 still be a far superior choice over this? I recently bought one but haven't opened it yet.

    4GB/64GB & 6000mAh are no brainer advantages but what about these?

    Snapdragon 660 vs 625
    Adreno 512 vs 506

    Are those significant?

    • Clear on 07/09/2018 - 10:49
      +2

      Yes the Mi Pad 4 is definitely far superior. Far better CPU and graphics without a doubt. Antutu benchmarks for an SD625 is around 61,000 and 117,000 for SD660.

      hard to compare, they have diff screen size that for me, is the massive factor to decide when buying tablet.
      i mean if i need 10" then i wont even bother to look something with 8".
      they are just different.

      i dont look at physical human but see whats inside someones' heart but this is a tablet……

    • bloobat on 07/09/2018 - 14:44

      Would Netflix work with the M20 though? I've heard alot of the Chinese ones don't support netflix/ play store which is the main reason I want a tablet anyway :(
