Great Basic Tablet

Rickfield . 4 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

An excellent basic 4G LTE tablet, which I got for free during the recent promo. Even though it's not 5G, it's super-fast and very smooth, and easy to use if you're familiar with Android products. I highly recommend it if you just want to read an e-book, stream a movie, or search the web.

Answer from TCL Expert2 months

The Tab 8 Plus is a tablet that has the capability to connect via Wi-Fi and Cellular Data (Verizon SIM card with a data plan). The Cellular Data is necessary when you have no connection to the internet via Wi-Fi. Having the Verizon data plan will allow you to access the internet wherever the service is available and allow you to travel with it. Hope this helps. - Kevin.
