Cons
Our editorial view of this model’s strengths and limitations.
Google Play and Google Mobile Services are not included as standard. Check your banking, study and work apps in AppGallery before buying: alternative installation methods do not guarantee every feature or notification will work.
This Wi-Fi version has no SIM-based mobile data. Away from a wireless network, you will need to tether your phone.
The pen and keyboard depend on the retail bundle and may be sold separately. If drawing or study is the goal, include these accessories in your budget from the start.
The LCD cannot match OLED black levels. That difference is worth considering if you often watch films in a dark room.
USB 2.0 limits large file transfers. Having a USB-C connector does not give this model USB 3.x speeds.
HiSilicon Kirin 710A is best suited to simple tasks. Demanding games and many apps running together can push it hard, especially in configurations with less RAM.
The screen is limited to 60 Hz. That is fine for reading and video, but scrolling is less smooth than on 90 or 120 Hz tablets.
How do we assess advantages and disadvantages?
Our editorial assessment draws on specifications, manufacturer documentation and available material about the model. It does not imply our own laboratory testing. We distinguish physical RAM from virtual expansion; features and box contents can vary by market. Reference prices are conversions; check the store for the final price of an offer.
