TCL Tab 8 LE

“The MSRP for the TCL Tab 8 LE is $199.99 but you can get it for free through T-Mobile, and other carriers as long as you pay for a data plan for it. The prices for plans vary but when I checked T-Mobile, it was $7 a month, and Verizon was $5.55 for a commitment of 36 months. OUCH. This tablet isn’t worth that even if you do get it free. It’s just too mediocre. The battery life is good, but the display is just ok. The real issue is that it’s just too sluggish, which makes it annoying to use. I recommend saving your money on this one.”

“Should you buy this tablet? Honestly, no, you shouldn’t. Don’t get me wrong, TCL knows how to leverage a less-powerful processor to make a smooth experience. The TCL Stylus 5G ran like butter. But the performance of the TCL Tab 8 LE is terrible. It’s bad to the point where I can’t even recommend it for its low price. You’d be better off spending a bit more money on a more capable tablet.”

“The TCL Tab 8 LE has most of the same strengths and weaknesses as most other low-price Android tablets: it’s compact, durable and affordable, but slow to navigate, with an unimpressive display and few standout features. However despite having near-identical specs to the Amazon Fire HD 8, the current budget tablet champ, it costs a significant amount more.”
