Nokia T10 | Android 12 | 8-Inch Screen | Tablet | US Version | 4/64GB | 8MP Camera | Ocean Blue

I am very surprised by how much I really like this no-frills perfect size tablet. The UI is as close to stock Android as you can get and is up-to-date. I use mine for News apps (Google News, NYT, WP, Boston Globe, LA Times) and it works great. I also have social media apps on there... it's a great YouTube and TikTok machine, and a bunch of streaming movie apps like HULU and Netflix. I'm not a gamer other than Wordle and puzzle games, but I imagine this is probably not an excellent tablet for things requiring a lot of RAM.I tried to make it work with side-loading the Google Play store on a Fire HD8+ tablet but it really wasn't the best. I'm really glad I traded that in for this instead. This size is better also-- not quite as wide as the Fire HD8+. And the software is so much better than FireOS.It came with one feature I didn't know it would have (and now I don't know how I could live without), and that's 'Second Screen'. It easily connects wirelessly to a Windows 11 computer without any need for installing drivers or other software for use as an additional monitor (similar to SideCar for Mac). Super handy and easy and incredibly useful.I really don't quite understand why this isn't more popular of a tablet than the Lenovo or Amazon or Samsung tablets of similar size. In my experience, this is much more well-built and enjoyable to use.

This is so far (Oct-12-2022) the best 8" Android tablet at any price. The fact that it is so cheap is a bonus.It is a way better option than Amazon 8" fire which costs almost half the price, but for that cheap price you only get half the RAM (2GB instead of 4GB) and Amazon constantly bombards you with adds. On top of that the an Android app that you like is NOT available on Amazon store AND YOU CAN NOT USE GOOGLE PLAY STORE with and Amazon tablet. You have to use the Amazon store and you cannot remove the Amazon bloatware apps from your tablet. Did I mention that Amazon NEVER upgrades the version of Android they use in their tablets?With the Nokia T10 you pay about twice as much as for a fire HD8, but you get the following benefits:- No adds- No bloatware at all!- Free Android 12, with 2 years of OS upgrades and 3 years of monthly security updates. This means that in 2024 when Google ships Android 14 you still get the lates and greatest version of Android for free!- Standard access to Google-play store like any normal Android device.- Incredibly FAST tablet. No waiting at all when launching apps.- Solid construction on a tablet that evidently is built to last.- Simple no surprise, no 'special launcher' or any other gimmicks that vendors like Samsung, Amazon and others use. This is real, plain vanilla, standard Android.- With monthly security updates guaranteed until 2025.I got also the case, because it makes it easier to hold or leave standing on a desk while you watch it.The European Union is considering a law that all phones and tablets should have 5 years support, but this law may take a year or two to pass. So far the best you can get from a vendor is what you get from this Nokia T10, or with a stock Google Pixel phone or tablet. Even Apple makes all their devices obsolete in three years or less.So, until the law changes (maybe in 2025) deals like free Android 12, with 2 years of OS upgrades and 3 years of monthly security updates is about the best we can get.100% Android.

Update: 30 Aug. The last update came through but now I am getting a "Your device is corrupted and cannot be trusted" error. It is best to avoid this tablet as it has too many issues to be considered useful.This is a great tablet for basic media consumption. It plays YouTube, streams videos/twitch and can handle most games. The OS doesn't have much bloat and is fairly close to vanilla Android. The screen might not be the best but you will not notice the lower resolution until something with a lot of detail is shown. But it has it's advantages. The battery life is pretty good. I've been getting around a day's worth of battery life from a full charge. Speaking of, this battery does take a bit longer than you would expect to charge. Close to 2 hours from 30% to 100%. All that is expected at this price point.I had to take a star off due to the issues with updates. Nokia's website says the security patch is up to July 2023 (today is August 29th). I was stuck on Feb 2023 patch for a few days. I did a few factory resets to get it to update and it finally went through. I shouldn't have to put that much effort into a 6 month old OTA update. I am on the June 2023 patch now so not quit up to date but this has the Android 13 update so I'm good for now.

Overall this is a great little tablet for the price. A much better option than a Kindle or Samsung tablet that is filled with bloatware you cannot remove. There are only 2 Nokia apps installed on this device. It is pretty snappy and responsive. There are a few things lacking however, like the screen and the speakers. Still great for kids or as an inexpensive device for reading, browsing, and videos.Pros:- Price is great for what you get!- Feels solid and well made.- Simple and no bloatware - pretty much stock Android with only 2 extra apps.Cons:- The screen isn't super bright and isn't the highest resolution - can seem blotchy at times.- Night Shade makes the screen green/blue, not warm colored.- Speakers get fairly loud but sound very tinny. They also fire out to the sides instead of at you so anyone sitting next to you will hear the audio better than you can unless you cup your hands around the speakers to direct the sound to yourself.- Only 2 years of Android system upgrades. 3 should be minimum 5 should be standard.
