Finally, someone who understands how to use tablets.. Some reviewers are literally complaining about the camera quality and stuff.. Like bruh, who tf buys a 250$ tablet to shoot videos and pictures.. Great video !!
Do not get the 3GB version. If you have to eat ramen for a month to get the 4-6GB version, do it. These days 3GB is getting close to useless for many new games. Yes for basic web browsing and likely the built in apps 3GB will work fine. Just don't expect downloaded apps to support it much longer. 4GB realistically is the absolute minimum you should consider with 6GB+ being ideal.
I just got this in the other day. 6gb + 128gb version. Got it for $230 from Amazon. Performance is VERY good with really great battery endurance. The speakers sound hella good. Very loud and crisp. Build quality is awesome. After I booted it up got two updates back to back. First was a security update patch. Second was an update to Android 13, a 3.7 gb patch. Updated without a hitch. But the screen. DAMN. The screen. Probably the deepest blacks I have ever seen on an LCD panel. Under the lights at my job the blacks looked blacker on this than on my Pixel 6. Resolution is good. Binge watched the second part of Manifest season 4 just this night and it was a great viewing experience, especially with the speakers. Only had it a couple of days but so far I am more than impressed. This is my first Redmi device and it blew my mind. I'll add an update after a couple weeks but super smooth sailing this far. Edited to add: After binge watching Manifest Season 4 part 2 I went from 100% to 40% after about 8 hours. Pretty impressive battery life.
I don't play that game. The only games I play on Android is Eternium, South Park Phone Destroyer and Legends of Runeterra. All of them run better on this tablet than on my Pixel 6. Hope that is helpful.
I have an older xiaomi 8" tablet I wanted to upgrade so I had something easier to use on a plane (laptop is ok for longer flights but tablets are ideal). Strongly considered the xiami pad 5 due to stronger cpu, but I think the SD card slot makes this perfect for media consumption & light gaming. Going to get the emulator set up. Price in the link is good enough vs aliexpress that I'm fine paying the extra to get from amazon.
Tablets are just perfect, big enough screen yet super portable, perfect for entertainment while travelling or just laying in bed watching something or studying something

Except it will be abandoned in like a year or so, and good luck with custom firmwares and bugs. Had a lot of these budget phones, tablets since I couldn't afford good stuff and always had hardware or software or even both (my mi pad 5 left screen corner suddenly became yellow, and it would close all background apps when I multitask) So since then I own Samsung devices (S21 and Tab S8) and honestly I am very very happy that I decided to switch and spend more, but actually get good SW support and quality HW. If you are really on a tight budget, there's nothing wrong to get one of these, but it's just my experience and I'm pretty sure I'd never buy one again.
I bought this tablet recently, the 6GB/128 GB version. It is really good, my only complain is that the usb-c headphone adapter does not work when I plug the charging cable. I bought an adapter that has a DAC, it works when I plug the headphones, but if I plug the charging cable the audio stops. I tried on a Xiaomi phone and same problem. I tried in a couple samsung phones and it works without problem. So it must be an issue with MIUI.
I have the 6gb ram. It can emulate ps2 games pretty well. I am playing the final fantasy games and lord of the rings. It struggles with the need for speed games. But otherwise I am very pleased with the performance for the price.
On this SoC, If you got the 6gb ram version.ou can push it to play almost all games for GC, Wii and PS2 if you get the PAL version of the games and do some further tweaks for a handful of games.
@@AlexDiaz-gw5ov I need to look up what changes I can make. I only changed it to vulkan back end and changed the scaling to 2x. The nfs games lag even on dolphin emulator.

See, this is a budget tablet i can get behind... 90hz i can deal with... But after dealing with 120hz display phones and computers since 2018, i dont think i can ever go back to 60
Looks great, interesting if you are looking for something brand new... but when it comes to budget tablets, I'd always advise going for an older flagship that is either heavily discounted or used... The difference in performance tied to how much prices tend to fall usually doesn't warrant a new model purchase if you are going for budget. Likely why there aren't many new mid-range models in the market... xD For instance, a Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 might be too expensive, but if you go down the number a bit... say S6 or S7, you are bound to find good prices. Would be even better if they didn't cripple the FE edition so much, I miss what Samsung did for the S5e... I think this might not bother others too much, but for me personally, the lack of a fingerprint reader and stuff like a desktop mode kinda kills it. These features are too useful for me to dismiss. xD Performance is looking great, not sure what kinda magic Xiaomi pulled there, but in raw specs you are bound to find something better if you go for older flagship models of big brands... as far as I could find, MediaTek G99 is supposed to be somewhere bellow even Snapdragon 845, just a bit better than Snapdragon 670... which the Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e had...
@@tomenza LG phones were great because they have low resale value. You could get the v60, although the 60hz may be a turnoff. I think maybe OnePlus 8/T/9 or an older Samsung are the next best thing, it depends on your budget
What would you recommend to go for instead of this then? Looking for a tablet that can be used for watching movies and editing videos from a go pro to post on social media.
This is a nice tablet... if I didn't have a "Good" Tablet (Galaxy Tab S6), I'd look into this as a budget need for a good tablet that can game and do the things I need to do. While 250+ isn't "Budget" enough for some, its definitely budget enough since MANY "Good" Tablets range at around 500+ and more.
I've had this tablet for a few days but the video quality for TH-cam doesn't look good at all is there anything I'm doing wrong? Videos show up as 1080 60 fps but look choppy
MediaTek? Neven again. I got burned by them when some years ago they decided they wouldn't support Android 5 on one of their chips at the time, and that made me get stuck on Android 4.4 until I bought a new phone, completely lost my trust in that company. And MIUI is awful, all those "optimizations" only serve to annoy users; lot's of stuff won't work properly, if at all, and if you disable it, other stuff won't work, it's a complete clusterfuck. For your average user that never strays from the "wannabe apple" path laid out by the manufacturer, there shouldn't be much issue, but for those who actually wants to own their device, good luck with that. If this device had a Snapdragon chipset and the possibility of running LineageOS, I might consider it, even considering I would probably only get widevine L3, but since I cancelled my netflix subscription and basically only watch stuff on Jellyfin.
Just got the Onn pad from Wally-world for $160. This Redmi pad looks better, but I'll plug away with the Onn for awhile. Can always gift the Onn to a friend if it doesn't' work out.
Great review but I was honestly expecting better price to performance by how excited you were. This is a good deal, I agree, but personally I would be waiting for a snapdragon 870 (or equivalent) for $299 if I was in the market. I bought the Lenovo Yoga tab with an 870 for $375 in March after your heads up on the community page so it shouldnt be too long before they get cheaper. I also prefer last gen midrange snapdragons over stronger mediateks because of the support and stability of a snapdragon.
The Xiaomi pad 5 has a snapdragon, it's around $350, but the SD card slot on this does it for me. For me, this is mostly media consumption on a plane. I'd like to have gotten both, but then it wouldn't be $250.
I'm getting one this week! Very excited. I'm getting the 128/6gb model as there isn't much price difference between that and the 4gb one. It's abt 250 euros here. (4gb one is only 15 euros less, kind of a no brainer to not get the 6gb if you can get the 4 tbh.)
@@aizenemmaiaht.mendoza8010 I bought the 4gb ram 128gb version,it's not really 4gb cause Xiaomi has extendable ram memory It's a very good tablet,is up to date with many things security and android wise, For 300 euros I couldn't ask for better,90HZ is great,the screen is great,no night light so I don't recommend using it late at night or your eyes will burn For other things like gaming and watching its top notch,I've been playing Mobile Legends and it hasn't lagged once at High Graphics,I watch many shows and they all look very good (especially for this price) A few cons are that it's plastic so if it falls onto something it may get bruised which I don't like,and the fact that it can feel laggy if you're opening many apps at once, But if you have the money,and you want a tablet,buy it,or save up for a very good laptop?
The review mentions the display as having a 2k resolution, but it really is just stretched 1080p (2000x1200p vs std full hd which is 1920x1080p) 2k is 1440p which this displa is not.
Finally you reviewed the Redmi Pad. I was waiting for you on it. Great, now with full confidence I’m looking forward to purchase it in 2-3 months. My only concern was performance. The Redmi Pad cost like $400 in my country so it’s affordable.
Mayan redmi pad is running on hyperos and I found a bug there The bug is if you set the display size to minimum couple of icons do not show properly... I hope in next update xioami will fix this.. This is absolutely a beast device
Hi ETA Prime, good video, but i have a question: the Xiaomi REDMI Pad has gps? i need a good tablet for travel. Its possible see my location without conection? Any recomendation? thanks.
What do you think about Alldocube iplay 50 mini pro? which have 8gb ram same helio g99 same g57 mc2 gpu... and price is lower you can find it for 140 dollars... only downgrade is size 8,4 inch and 60hz....
I would prefer good and light 8" one. There is no point for >10" tablets for people owning small >12" notebooks. It is heavy and bulky. On 8" screen you can still watch movies comfortably, much more comfortable than on 5-6" smartphone. And do some simple office work, that is on small smartphone very uncomfortable. And good small 8" you can put in back jeans pocket, if necessary.
Fantastic reviews, best of the bunch really. But please don't say 1x like (one 'ex'). The 'X' is of course a multiplication symbol for 'times' and not the letter 'X'
Maybe it is not the real highend, but I would not call a ~$250 tablet 'budget'. As something really budget, I recently got Fire HD10 for €80 on Black Friday, which is now again down to €85 from the usual €150. And that €150 price is what I would consider the price limit for a budget device. Above that should be called midrange.
@TabbehEXE ♡ I live in a world, where budget means you get all or most of possible functionality, without paying extra for non-essential things like bling, brand, or excessive performance/features. That is why it is called `budget`.
I bought the 6gb ram model of this tablet a few months ago. It works great, battery life is solid, and it's overall very fast. Only thing is that mine didn't come with a US charging brick, so no fast charging for me. I'd still recommend it though.
Games like codm become heavy while in lobby with real players with real assets. The test you did, with bots, any phone from 2015 onwards can handle that lol
Hi can you help me? I want to buy a tablet for watching TH-cam vlogs etc , kdrama, slight Facebook , Pinterest but mostly watching TH-cam and bilibili... I'm thinking what I should buy Redmi Pad Or Samsung Galaxy A8 10.5 LTE???
Galaxy A8 has a tiger t618 CPU which is a popular chipset of chinese brands such as chuwi or teclast. I think it is a bit overpriced, you are just paying the brand for a below average tablet. Redmi Pad has a more powerful chipset and for the same price you are getting 4GB and 64GB of internal memory, while the samsung has 3GB and 32GB.

Can we play STEAM GAMES on a TAB? I started playing mobile games on a tab during the COVID pandemic. I play STEAM GAMES on my PC. Recently, my tab [HUAWEI] battery is down and spares are not available in India. It lasted only 2 years although predominantly COD MOBILE 10 hrs per week on average. So, unhappy. I instead bought a MOTOROLA phone to switch my tab games to mobile, BUT, the small screen does not seem to suit my eyesight as well as my sausage like fingers and having difficulty playing the same COD mobile with touchscreen controls. AND I AM A NOVICE ON JOYSTICK CONTROLLERS. Never could master them. So, my question is - Can we get STEAM & ANDROID based games onto a TAB, preferebly with JOYSTICK CONTROLLERS. I have a LOGITECH BLUETOOTH CONTROLLER but barely used it in 2 years.
All low settings with medium shadow and lowest detail on Genshin Impact looks best with acceptable performance. You should test it out especially on this SoC.
I will be buying this in Feb 2023 for my university use... I just hope it has a headphone jack... Oh well, I'll just buy a Bluetooth headphone that doesn't cost more than 10 bucks
Just bought it 2 days ago. This tab is so awesome n very big upgrade over my previous yoga tablet. It's not buttery smooth but for the price very smooth n screen is very decent to watch Netflix etc. I just can't understand how to enable hdr playback as it's page mentioned hdr ( maybe it was false advertising). I like how it feels in hand too but a rubber strip would help with grips... Your review is awesome thanks❤❤❤❤

MediaTek still dumps those MC2 GPUs, that sucks. They aren't improving the technology at all, just rebrand the same processors with a smaller node over and over again. They were catching up with Qualcomm but it seems they are playing to loose.

It's a very good tablet,is up to date with many things security and android wise,
For 300 euros I couldn't ask for better,90HZ is great,the screen is great,no night light so I don't recommend using it late at night or your eyes will burn
For other things like gaming and watching its top notch,I've been playing Mobile Legends and it hasn't lagged once at High Graphics,I watch many shows and they all look very good (especially for this price)
A few cons are that it's plastic so if it falls onto something it may get bruised which I don't like,and the fact that it can feel laggy if you're opening many apps at once,
But if you have the money,and you want a tablet,buy it,or save up for a very good laptop?
This guy says every device is good
realme pad x is better and cheaper, sd 695 is way better soc compare to helio g99
The review mentions the display as having a 2k resolution, but it really is just stretched 1080p (2000x1200p vs std full hd which is 1920x1080p) 2k is 1440p which this displa is not.
The 6gb RAM variant should be the only configuration they offer, there's no point in having 3/4gb of RAM on an android tablet in 2022😅
Wrong
true
well depend on what people prefers and budget.
I bought 3gb ram version last week it only supports one open app at a time which is bummer but i was on budget :/
Finally you reviewed the Redmi Pad. I was waiting for you on it. Great, now with full confidence I’m looking forward to purchase it in 2-3 months. My only concern was performance. The Redmi Pad cost like $400 in my country so it’s affordable.
It costs 200$ on Aliexpress lol, for 400$ this is absolutely not worth it, you can buy a Xiaomi Pad 5 for that much which is miles better.
The Xiaomi Pad 5 cost $529 512gb version only. The 256gb version is sold out. Between these two, I would preferred the Xiaomi Pad 5.
I bought 3gb ram version last week it only supports one open app at a time which is bummer but i was on budget :/
does it offer additional Ram from the settings?
Just get the 6gb version very smooth
alternative is huawei matepad 10.4 with kirin 820 better performance better display but without google access
Can you share the link to amazon for you Xbox contorller? Looks Cool!
Mayan redmi pad is running on hyperos and I found a bug there
The bug is if you set the display size to minimum couple of icons do not show properly...
I hope in next update xioami will fix this..
This is absolutely a beast device
Dang I was looking at e-readers for like $350. This is a more universl device and cheaper.
Hi ETA Prime, good video, but i have a question: the Xiaomi REDMI Pad has gps? i need a good tablet for travel.
Its possible see my location without conection?
Any recomendation?
thanks.
Why would Xiaomi bother releasing a model with 3gb of ram..
I ordered the 6gb
What do you think about Alldocube iplay 50 mini pro? which have 8gb ram same helio g99 same g57 mc2 gpu... and price is lower you can find it for 140 dollars... only downgrade is size 8,4 inch and 60hz....
You should test the nintendo switch emulator for these android devices.
I would prefer good and light 8" one. There is no point for >10" tablets for people owning small >12" notebooks. It is heavy and bulky. On 8" screen you can still watch movies comfortably, much more comfortable than on 5-6" smartphone. And do some simple office work, that is on small smartphone very uncomfortable.
And good small 8" you can put in back jeans pocket, if necessary.
Fantastic reviews, best of the bunch really. But please don't say 1x like (one 'ex'). The 'X' is of course a multiplication symbol for 'times' and not the letter 'X'
Does it support hdmi, type c to hdmi out for external display????
Tablets in the past year or two have been quite disappointing.
How would this compare to a used Tab S6?
Is it the updated version with Snapdragon 720g?
Also i prefer using 60hz instead 90hz lol
Maybe it is not the real highend, but I would not call a ~$250 tablet 'budget'. As something really budget, I recently got Fire HD10 for €80 on Black Friday, which is now again down to €85 from the usual €150. And that €150 price is what I would consider the price limit for a budget device. Above that should be called midrange.
In asia the top model (6gb ram 128gb storage) is only 200$. Its really cheap for what you get.
@@Pichipieify you can tell the same on europe countries. But on the 4gb ram version
@TabbehEXE ♡ I live in a world, where budget means you get all or most of possible functionality, without paying extra for non-essential things like bling, brand, or excessive performance/features. That is why it is called `budget`.
@@NeblogaiLT So thats this tablet.
I'm sorry but lenovo xiaoxin pad pro 2021 with sd 870 is about 270$ in vietnam and it's much better this 1
Good if Lenovo sells it there with that price, feel free to pick it up instead of this.
great video, you’re quickly becoming one of my favorites in this space. keep it up, i rewatch your videos all the time!
How does it compare to a Xiaomi pad 5?
Where do you get moving wallpapers?
I bought the 6gb ram model of this tablet a few months ago. It works great, battery life is solid, and it's overall very fast. Only thing is that mine didn't come with a US charging brick, so no fast charging for me. I'd still recommend it though.
Gow 1 runs 60fps at 2x resolution after some settings I hope gow2 would runs smoothly
No headphone jack. No thanks.
Iplay 50 pro is the same and WAY cheaper, around 150 bucks.
In terms of heavy gaming does the 6gb ram make more sense or does the 4gb ram have no difference?
Always go for higher ram
I don't consider $300aud a "budget" option lol that's ridiculous.
Games like codm become heavy while in lobby with real players with real assets. The test you did, with bots, any phone from 2015 onwards can handle that lol
Hi can you help me? I want to buy a tablet for watching TH-cam vlogs etc , kdrama, slight Facebook , Pinterest but mostly watching TH-cam and bilibili... I'm thinking what I should buy Redmi Pad Or Samsung Galaxy A8 10.5 LTE???
A8 is your best bet
@@Tiger9194 is the screen of a8 and s6 lite is same???
@@jessicaverolavlog yes both screens are the same.
Galaxy A8 has a tiger t618 CPU which is a popular chipset of chinese brands such as chuwi or teclast. I think it is a bit overpriced, you are just paying the brand for a below average tablet. Redmi Pad has a more powerful chipset and for the same price you are getting 4GB and 64GB of internal memory, while the samsung has 3GB and 32GB.
@@xeienar thank you☺️ I will buy Samsung Galaxy tab a8 because it has LTE if the Xiaomi pad 5 pro will realese here in Philippines I think I go for Xiaomi pad 5 pro☺️💜
Miui is stupid. It has built-in ads, and who knows how it spies on you. I don't trust stock Android, but I trust Miui less.
Compared to Alldocube iPlay 50 Mini Pro?
Redmi Pad 4/128gb or samsung A9 plus?
Do you think it works well for playing via streaming? (Xbox Cloud, Nvidia Geforce now, Moonlight) I'm worried about that WIFI 5, sorry for my English
It supports 5 Ghz so I don't see a problem
Can we play STEAM GAMES on a TAB? I started playing mobile games on a tab during the COVID pandemic. I play STEAM GAMES on my PC. Recently, my tab [HUAWEI] battery is down and spares are not available in India. It lasted only 2 years although predominantly COD MOBILE 10 hrs per week on average. So, unhappy.
I instead bought a MOTOROLA phone to switch my tab games to mobile, BUT, the small screen does not seem to suit my eyesight as well as my sausage like fingers and having difficulty playing the same COD mobile with touchscreen controls.
AND I AM A NOVICE ON JOYSTICK CONTROLLERS. Never could master them.
So, my question is - Can we get STEAM & ANDROID based games onto a TAB, preferebly with JOYSTICK CONTROLLERS. I have a LOGITECH BLUETOOTH CONTROLLER but barely used it in 2 years.
Well, Xiaomi mi pad 5 its much more powerfull than this one.
Can anyone advise where to download these emulators from please?
Anyone seen this tablet it person? Does the screen have that pink tint that appears in the video? That part doesn't look very good.
Any recommendations on best settings to use yuzu on this tablet???
All low settings with medium shadow and lowest detail on Genshin Impact looks best with acceptable performance. You should test it out especially on this SoC.
Dafuq? Gaming on mediatek? Dream more, yttrash
Would you recommend this in 2024?
Sorry but ... Mediatek no thanks
I will be buying this in Feb 2023 for my university use... I just hope it has a headphone jack... Oh well, I'll just buy a Bluetooth headphone that doesn't cost more than 10 bucks
Redmi buds 3 lite were $15 here and they are pretty decent
@@luansantoskk5263 thanks for the recommendation dude.... But I prefer the headphone because I will be troubled if I lost one bud of the pair.
@@nishikun867 You need a type c earphone adapter
@@hellothere_24 well I'm going to use the port to connect keyboard and mouse
I have a teclast but it's only good for audiovisual content, I have to buy something like this haha.
Just bought it 2 days ago. This tab is so awesome n very big upgrade over my previous yoga tablet. It's not buttery smooth but for the price very smooth n screen is very decent to watch Netflix etc. I just can't understand how to enable hdr playback as it's page mentioned hdr ( maybe it was false advertising). I like how it feels in hand too but a rubber strip would help with grips... Your review is awesome thanks❤❤❤❤
Seriously why are tablets still use ips lcd displays it's time to kill lcd
I lost faith in Redmi products, or any other china electronics after my Redmi Note 9 died just after 2 years and 8 months. I'm not even using it for gaming, just media consumption.
Hello, like to watch your videos, is it possible for you to add the German subtitles?? also for the upcoming videos?? so that I can understand you better what is being said.... That would be suuuuper of you.. Of course, I've left a subscription for a long time. Thank you 👍 very much
the 2022 CHUWI Android 12 Tablet HiPad Max is the better buy, and you reviewed that one a month ago. so why do you call this one the best? 🤷♂
im getting this! thanks
MediaTek still dumps those MC2 GPUs, that sucks. They aren't improving the technology at all, just rebrand the same processors with a smaller node over and over again. They were catching up with Qualcomm but it seems they are playing to loose.
Do you have a good wallpaper app for redmi pad 😢 pls suggest
250 bucks is not a budget tablet
Hi there, may I know what live wallpaper apps were you using or set in the Redmi Pad? It looks cool and awesome! 👍🏼
watching from my redmipad 6/128gb miui14 updatw android13 with 5gb ram extended memory update
I have one simple question. Does it show luma fusion as available in the Play store and has anyone tried it?
Does this tablet support diablo immortal? Or does anyone have any recommendations on current budget tablets that play DI reasonably well? Doesn't have to be anything crazy powerful I will mainly be playing DI and call of dragons. Any help would be awesome, thanks!
Xiaomi has been killing it lately ♥🤟 i trust their products more than Huawei 😓 they still sketchy AF, even though their build quality is like the Apple of China.
MIUI 13 is smooth too, just recently got the Android 12 update for my Redmi Note 11 phone.
Xiaomi is good for entertainment but I still wouldn't trust them with banking apps.
@@quchi7232 LOL 🤣 Its just apps , your info is a seperate thing, as long as 2FA is secured , your info is not going anywhere ❤️👍
It's just a shame everyone has this delusion of China spying on them, Not all chinese are bad out there,
except Huawei's recent dilemma with the whole privacy thing , LMAO🤣😂
Anyways , good day to you sir 🫡🍻❤️🤟
I don't even share my banking info with any brands. I just see tablets as entertainment devices and smartphone as tools like maps.
Hard to trust any brand to be honest.
@@quchi7232 i’m using both..currently saw many banking problems in iOS rather than Xiaomi tho..been in both groups so far..iOS users got their information stolen more frequently than those in Xiaomi..which is almost no case..
@@mikiswordbreaker4805 There are also reports that chinese smartphones/tablets have a backdoor in their products which can lead to hacking or spying. That's why it's best to just be cautious and keep the most personal information out of it.
Redmi tablet has backdroor like HUAWEI if you want to your data transfer to China just go for it or just create a brand new google account without any personal information !
Interesting video. I know I'm a couple of days late; but, I just want to say that I always enjoy when ETA covers lower end Android phones and tablets. Searching for prepaid phone reviews is how I discovered this channel in the first place!
Question: I know what Widevine is and what it does from a technical standpoint ; but, why does Netflix even care what device I'm watching them on in the first place?
with anbernic , better this or anbernic RG505?
Can anyone answer if I could get this to run Google maps? Looking for something to use as a gps unit in a car while traveling. I will have the tablet connected to my hotspot.
Can it bypass android resampling? If it's not, then the "HiRes" is definitely just a gimmick
Does it support pen for drawing? Also, will it support custom ROMs?
Yes it does support pen and custom roms without root
Yes, you can also use a 3rd party stylus but it doesn't have palm rejection
@@emadkaleem7102 mediatek chipsets with custom roms? lmao no.
No actual pen, just generic stylus that works exactly like your finger (1 level sensitivity pressure). Custom ROM is always in the hand of the ROM porter/creator, this device allows bootloader unlocking, so the main key is there.
@@xeienar Redmi note 8 pro has some custom ROMs... There are other mediatek devices but what matters the most is how many people buy this thing
Redmi note 8 pro selled a lot and was the best option for mobile gaming back then
It,s not 2k resolution
It,s FHD resolution but in ASPECT RATIO 5:3
Does anybody know how this thing does for pc to tablet streaming for games? I have been doing it with my phone, for the price I think a bigger screen would be nice
Power test suggestion: The Simpsons Game (PSP). Showcases a lightweight game for the system.
Bro i cant find any video that tells the best tablet for gaming, the smoothest tablet capables max performance for games, do you know one bro?
thanks and I got one for 200 bucks on amazon with 6gb model. I just hope its as good as this video tablet.
