    You kinda failed to mention that the sub-$200 price is for the first 500 units sold on the 11th. And it's priced at $306.60 right now Evac though the pictures show it as $209. Unless the link you provided is going to the wrong listing.

    • @RetroBreezeYT
      @RetroBreezeYT  Год назад +1

      That's fair, although to be honest the exact pricing wasn't available when I was working on the video fully. In my experience, sales come often on AliExpress and products often reach their launch prices again. However, I'll be more careful on pricing in the future! Cheers!

    That seems like such a good value, that's crazy. I'm still going with my Tab S7 but it's good to know that these types of alternatives to Samsung exist.

      Not really recommended because the MediaTek Helio G99 chipset that the tablet has is barely better than Qualcomm Snapdragon mid-range chipsets of current or two generations back. It can run something all the way to the Nintendo DS smoothly, any console more powerful is really pushing it.

      Hello there! Thank you for your kind comment! I just gave a couple of fortnite matches a go and unfortunately I would say this tablet isn't really suitable for it.

      ​@@RetroBreezeYT🤔I wonder how the game would run on full graphics of the game. I remember once playing a high graphics game on a older tablet. It ran and looked miserable. Then I decided to play around in the game settings and found the graphics were on medium. I decided to see what'd happen if I placed it all the way up the furthest it would go. And then the game ran with no issues! Sometimes, I guess. Running the game outside it:s full potential can break it on some capable devices.🙂
