Can anyone recommend a 200-250 Euro replacement tablet (Android)?

[Petr Blavov]

Hello everyone,

I’ve been looking for a replacement for my broken Pipo M9pro tablet for a while now, but cannot find anything similar price- and feature-wise.

What I’m looking for:

• ca. 10-inch display, at least FullHD (1920 x 1080)
• Android 5 or better
• at least 32 GByte internal flash
• 3G/LTE slot
• price around 200-250 Euros

So far, I haven’t found anything that fits the bill; it seems that 3G/LTE has gone out of fashion on anything halfway recent from Chuwi, Teclast, Pipo, and all the other chinese manufacturers. So far, I could only find the following devices (apart from ancient tablets that were released before my Pipo M9 pro):

• Huawei MediaPad T2 LTE 10-inch (not enough flash memory)
• Galaxy Tab A (2016) LTE (a little beyond my price limit, Android 6, but still not enough flash)
• Teclast X86 Air 3G (only 3G, and ancient Andoid 4.4, plus sold out everywhere I searched)
• Odys Rapid 10 LTE (LTE and Android 5, but not enough memory, and not even FullHD display)
• a few more low-res devices like the odys with Android 4 or 5
• and many, many, many tablets without 3G/LTE

30 months ago, I paid 200 Euros for the Pipo M9 pro 3G. Has is become impossible to find something usable in that price range? Or is there some tablet I just haven’t found yet?

Any help appreciated, Pit.

The only one I can think of is Teclast X98 Air 3G, but it is a bit old…

The are some cheap tablets with all you said except from the screen.

If 3G is the problem, you can always buy a USB to put your sim card and then plug it to the tablet.

Hope that helps a little!

That one’s up there on my list (in my original post) already.

Sorry, but that’s just not practicable. I actually want to be able to use the tablet quickly on the go, and a 3G/LTE dongle sticking out several centimeters (thus creating the danger of damaging the USB port), or a USB cable with that dongle dangling from the device (exposing the whole tablet to the risk of serious damage if the cable get tangled up somhow) makes that impossible.

Sorry I mean Teclast X98 Plus 3G. It’s dual boot, but you can use it only with Android (5.1) if you want.

It meets all your specs, but I don’t know if it is a good tablet or not.

You can buy it at Aliexpress from some sellers that still have it:
