fvw53 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) I would like to buy a cheap tablet to transfer from my smartphone all the photos stored here since several years Now I find on Lazada a tablet and I wonder if a member of the Forum can explain why it is so cheap. I need it only for very occasional use but I am attracted to what it offers. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/new-xiaomi-tablet-ram12g-rom512g-full-hd-tablet-andorid-10-core-i3248833493-s12071500447.html? Does it really have a keyboard ? What kind of operating system does it use (I still have on old but unused license for Windows 7 and I don't care if it is no longer supported by Microsoft) Can it really connect to the internet ( 5G LTE and GPS) : do I then have to buy a SIM card? Can it connect to my router ? Edited January 20, 2022 by fvw53 typo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post giddyup Posted January 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) It's probably a cheap copy. It says "no brand" in the description and there's probably no warranty. You have to be careful with Lazada, there are so many fakes sold there. I bought a genuine Samsung Tab 7 Lite from Lazada recently, but that was from the Samsung store. I think I paid around 4300 baht, which was a bargain. Edited January 20, 2022 by giddyup 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fvw53 Posted January 20, 2022 Author Share Posted January 20, 2022 yes but I am surprised by the positive comments given by some of the buyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno123 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) It's all fake. Just run away from their nonsense. Even their description states a P8 and their review pics show a Teclast....which of course has nothing to do with the description further above. Further more, there is no reference to such a device on the Teclast website: http://www.teclast.com/en/ Teclast do make a P80...which again has no relation to the nonsensical specifications published there. I refer you to this thread for when it comes to the reviews: Seeing as none of the pics in the reviews match with the pics of what they are advertising. Steer clear!

The seller is offering no warranty for a reason, but hey, if you want to roll the dice, go ahead, maybe you'll get lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtls2005 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Old stock/closeout.bargain bin, older HW, older SW. I think it's a Teclast (P80?), not Xiaomi? Teclast is a reliable tablet IME. Should be fine for your stated requirements. Unclear why you need a tablet to transfer from my smartphone all the photos stored here? Where is "here"? OS is Android. Keyboard is OPTIONAL, Bluetooth. Looks like it supports mobile data 3G/4G, yes it takes a SIM Yes it connects to the interwebs, WiFi and 3G/4G. If your router supports WiFi, then yes, it can connect to your router. No clue if they throw in the smartish watch and the case? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven100 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) why is this PC tablet so cheap? probably because it's a copy, and inside made cheap. will it last 4 months .... Lol Edited January 21, 2022 by steven100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henryford Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Obviously a fake. I don't know any tablet that has a 3 camera set up on the back like an iphone. 12g ram 512g rom for 2,400 HA HA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkol Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I used to own its predecessor, which was advertised with almost the same pictures. Android was supposed to be version 9, was in fact 4.4 Memory was advertised as 128Gb, was in fact 12GB Screen resolution was advertised as full HD, was in fact very low. The tablet was running a non-erasable background software preinstalled by its manufacturer which altered the results of most of the common benchmarking tools. For a normal User everything would seem fine according to its advertised specs.... And as a bonus it also had a Virus/Spyware preinstalled, which was continuously running in the background (cloaked with the name of a popular App) stealing information and sending it to who-knows-where. I managed to root it and clean it, now it functions as a videoplayer for the village kids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make the spelling as close to the original as they can. I nearly bought some bargain Bose speakers in MBK, but when I looked closer they actually spelt BCSE, and the C was nearly an O to catch the unwary.

Ghazza Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Reviews in lazada can sometimes be fake. 99% of the reviews are anonymous and they have the same format as well. Better store the files in drive or cloud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must return the product or the shop will change it for me? and the shop's reply is: Quote Dear customer, thank you for your support of our 5G Mobile store, thank you for your compliments, we will continue to provide the best service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 2000 baht. 2400 baht baht is the other FAKE tablet which is neither Xiaomi nor a Teclast P8(since such a device does not even exist). Misleading advertising. They are not selling what they are advertising. FAKE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandiRona Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I would say buy a better one which you can use it for years. Cheap ones aren't reliable with several news of people dying from electric shocks from charging.

bendejo Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 There are cheap Android tablets sold around SEA (dunno if the "chip shortage" is affecting this) in the $US90-125 range. Don't expect much. If you made the rounds of the tech malls you might be able find them and get hands-on before you buy. If the seller says you cannot try the one in the box you would be purchasing keep walking. Don't expect much in the way of an included keyboard, but if you want you might be able to buy one that connects via Bluetooth or USB. I bought a 7 inch at Panthip about 10 years ago for 4k baht. Still works, Android 4.0.3, slow as hell, but I just use it as a portable ebook reader. A few years in it wouldn't take the plug-in charge any more, but I could charged via the USB port, go figure. I am now looking for a 10 inch, again mostly for ebooks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ignis Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Quote have a genuine item The genuine item can be a expensive load of rubbish as well.... Big Brand name genuine [full price paid] tablet, lots count of how many time it was taken back to the service centre.. [ fuel + time taking it and the same again a week later to collect it + same every month to 6 weeks] gave up > has been sat in the draw for the past 3 years, still not working Feel sure a copy cheap one would have been as good + a fraction of the price.

Are you interested in purchasing or do you think it is an intelligent question that could outsmart me? We know it's not an Xiaomi and we know that it cannot be a Teclast P8 because that does not exist. We know that it cannot be a typo for Teclast P80 because the Teclast P80 does not even have a modem chip. So we know the the advertising is for a product that doesn't meet the description of any of the branded products named in the advertisement. FAKE. Best you stop with the Trolling...it's obvious.
