The TCL Tab 8 LE will become T-Mobile’s most affordable 4G LTE tablet tomorrow
When TCL announced (with relatively little fanfare) at the 2023 Consumer Electronics Show last week that its latest ultra-affordable tablet would go on sale “later this month”, we didn’t (necessarily) expect that to happen quite so soon.
Obviously, your 160 bucks will buy you standalone 4G LTE connectivity, and to be perfectly honest, little else in terms of worthy features and capabilities by “modern” industry standards.
Then you have 32 gigs of internal storage space, which is sadly still standard in this price bracket, as well as microSD support (good!), “immersive” dual stereo speakers (not too shabby), and 5MP front and rear cameras (meh!).
Last but not least, the LTE-enabled (but obviously not 5G-supporting) TCL Tab 8 LE is marketed as the “perfect travel companion” thanks to a design light enough to fit into a “small bag or even a large pocket.”
Unfortunately, the exact product dimensions and weight number are not out yet, so we’ll have to wait and compare those to the aforementioned Tab A7 Lite’s relevant figures before concluding if this is indeed an overall smart buy, even on paper.
