The CPU is very similar, but the GPU is over twice as performance. Much higher screen res too. Also runs both Windows & Android, so it'll be and upgrade depending on what you use it for.

This is windows and android.

LG G pad 8.3 V500, very good screen, light weight, take micro sd too.

Has to be 8.3 V500, do not mistaken with 8.0 or others versions, the other version are worse.



Samsung Tab S1 or S2 are also good. But they are way more expensive, not worth it. If to pay the price of Tab S, you would be better to get the G pad 8.3

The next step up in processors is to go for the Xiaomi Mipad 2 with the Z8500, twice the price and not big jump performance wise.

All of that plus warranty is non - existent. I did but a few things and I would still buy from them. Just take it as you have no warranty.

I've bought multiple tablets and phones from GearBest, BangGood, FocalPrice etc. And not once have I paid any duties or carrier fees. My advice would be not to go for expedited post and it usually gets through. Of course, this is not guaranteed but you have to weigh up the pros of the low initial cost with the other risks.

Screen doesn't work and I paid £200 for mine early last year...

The one on Amazon(third party chinese seller Fudisi) has the older Z8300 processor, but as you say people may prefer to get via there.

I recently sold my Nexus 7 2013 after more than three years of use. It was still in amazing condition and was fast, an amazing tablet!
