Adding Google Playstore to cheap Android tablet ?

Featured Replies

Hi

I found a new cheap 10 inch 3g Android tablet on Ebay but it do not think it has Google Playstore,

Probably the Chinese company did not want to pay Google ,

So is there a way to add it ?

here is the tablet, yes I now its not the best , but I wanted 10 inch , 3g , GPS and HDMI and its less than $100

Other sellers are stating it has the Google PlayStore.

Oh, and the eBay pricing is a bit higher that other places.

Ouku M66 10.1" Android 4.4 3G Phone Tablet (MTK8382 Quad Core,GPS,WiFi,RAM 2G/ROM 16G,Dual SIM)

LightintheBox - $79.99

Some people are reporting the display isn't actually 1280 x 800, doesn't come with a wall charger, and each device may have other issues so make sure anyone you buy one through gives you a good exchange or return period.

Hi

I emailed the seller about the google play issue , no answer from Hong Kong yet

yeah it looks like many of the ebay sellers are the same guys and playing with the shipping so it comes up $89 , they all use the same photos.....

I just figure its worth the extra $10 to be able to complain to Ebay and Paypal if its junk

I really would be happy if its as good as an iPad 1st generation , but android and 3G , I am not looking for a $400 tablet or $100 but I do expect it to at least work :)

Do you see any others that are worth a few more $$$$ ?

and have 10.1 , 2GB / 16GB , 3G , HDMI, GPS, phone etc ?

thanks for your help

the seller just sent me this note

"you need to download it by yourself."

I think they have no idea.

The standard Ouku M66 has it included.

But if the eBay seller is hawking a clone of the M66 then no bet.

Sometimes the manufacturer will pull out support for the PlayStore from their Android Build to avoid paying verification testing fees to Google. Microsoft did that when they bought Nokia's handset operation, but people found it was easy enough to put the missing bits back in.
