Are there any of these cheapshit 7" tablets that will take something like LineageOS? Because that's the first thing I'd do before I put a spyware laden thing like that on my network.
The article mentions tablets with resistive touch.
Is that really a thing? I thought, Android only supported capacitative touch.
Resistive touch would mean no multitouch and thus no two-finger gestures.
"They might not have the Google Play Store, or might be loaded up with bloatware apps that you can’t remove" That sounds pretty much like Google app's to me🤔
I now have an S6 Lite (keeping on One UI for an experiment)!
Blackview tab 16 is the best "offbrand "tablet I have found.
Mega specs,huge storage but less than 200euro with accessories.
Battery life is great,but we will have to see how it is in 6 months....
I want to add that I bought the OnePlus Pad, which has been great for my use case of mainly reading epubs and PDFs. The aspect ratio is 7:5, which is much better for reading than many of the aspect ratios of other tablets I looked at. Also the battery life is pretty good, but I also don't use it for anything computationally intensive
Edit: It's not exactly cheap though, costing $480. But there's a sale right now for $400, which is still not exactly cheap. But I think it was worth the price for me
If you're just using it to read, I would highly recommend selling it and getting an e-ink display. I have both a Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle fire 8 plus. I just can't read books on the fire 8 anymore, the Paperwhite is so good. If you can't stand Amazon then rakuten makes a really good e-ink readers with their kobos.
