Seems like this could be a decent budget tablet for my soon to be 8 year old. Good for watching YouTube, bit of gaming, bit of homework/word-processing practice with a btooth keyboard.
Alternative to the fire hd8 at £90 for ad free version.
I know some hate gearbest, but never had an issue myself.

For anyone interested in one of these, it is the Lenovo Tab3 8 Plus. This is clear from the box, the documents inside (Chinese only) and a sticker on the device itself. The model code is TB-8703F.
I'm not sure why GearBest have decided to incorrectly call it the "P8 Tablet PC". I can only assume this is a marketing trick, given that the model did not generate a lot of interest and has been superseded by the Tab4.

Mine was a link from an email initially, but still shows the same price if I just search the gearbest website

They are 2 different animals unfortunately ...
Email only exclusive Deals/Offer's, are not necessarily guaranteed to be the same beast when you go directly via GearBest's website itself (independent of the direct to GearBest via their Email Exclusives I mean ... )
Those Email only stuff's often have embedded with the 'click-links' web address string your email address + a few other 'control codes', codes, that tell GearBest that your a 'preferred' preferential customer!, and as such ...
They alllll do this, as in GearBest are not the only culprit's to do this, Morgan Computers have done this to me in the past, as have Maplin, and a few others too besides?.
So don't worry about it (so to speak), lol.

Shame it's Android 6.0. 8.0 is out now. Looking around there is no mention of any upgrade coming any time soon. Still, this is a hot price.

Android 8 isn't out now at all, it's very recently been announced, so this isn't very far out of date at all.
I mentioned that I used to have the S8, that got an update, but it was a long time coming after release.

Ancient phone, latest OS, usually not a good mix.
I'm personally struggling on with a brand new HTC U11 running 'old' 7.1
For the £, I'm not too concerned about it only having Marshmallow as it is a great OS with great battery life. Apart from the split screen mode, I think its better than Nougat. Both my One Plus 3 and Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 have taken a hit in the battery department with Nougat.

It runs fine, but then Google don't have bloat like HTC.

It showed as that price earlier for me but not anymore.... When I was looking earlier I think it suggested that stock was limited. With an account the price is still 123
willevans716533 to alftrad1
7 Sep 17#38
Still shows 115 for me
willevans716533
7 Sep 17#36
Shows as 123 for a second then switches to 115. Think you need to have an account with gearbest already Shows as 7 days left at this price

Is it showing as 123.33 for everyone now I guess?

Updated my Nook HD+ a couple of days ago to Android 7 and it's turned an unusual tablet into a lovely e-reader that is now actually capable of browsing Chrome and performing basic tasks. I don't NEED this but my God do I want it. If only the missus didn't get her knickers in a twist with every technique purchase I make. Inevitably from this site. Sigh.

Not bad for the price but the Amazon deal a couple days ago was enough to convince me. I managed to get Google play installed as well.
Screen here is good though. Will make all the difference reading them comics :smile:

But if it's in dollars does that mean it's coming from America and then would you not have to pay import charge? I'm new to all of this.
willevans716533 to leemarcushealey
7 Sep 17#23
Comes from China. Use the free shipping option for very low chance of import charges. Have used gearbest 10 times this year and not once been charged by customs. Can take a while to arrive but longest I have waited is 10 days

What's the warranty like? It looks like a really good spec but I'm always concerned with buying anything more than a few quid from China that if anything went wrong the warranty would be non-existent?
paulandpam1 to Uns
7 Sep 17#18
Yep! You basically get no warranty, and even if you did dealing with Gearbest would be a nightmare.

The tab 4 plus is £250 from Argos and really not a big upgrade.

Looks like a nice tab for the money, but this is humorous

Only a few reviews around and none from the big sites, all seem quite positive and all very happy with the screen for the price. I'm very tempted but probably gonna hold out til black friday

Techtablets.com has given this a very good review. (That site, I find, is a reliable reviews site.)

Hot. Half the price of the very similar specced 8 inch Lenovo Tab 4 plus
Stuss to alftrad1
7 Sep 17#13
Tab 4 plus has Android 7 (this model is Android 6). I don't believe one increment of Android is worth the extra cash.

Worth getting now for Christmas or are we likely to see better deals? What's peoples thoughts?

This is worth it over the Amazon Fire HD 8 just for the screen being way better.

Very nice deal. If i hadn't already gone for the £59.99 Amazon HD8 (2017) deal recently i would be very tempted. Heat from me.

Up to 3.15% cashback From TCB as well, only £3.62 but probably enough for a case from GB

This should be a really good tablet for the price range, I had an S8 for a little while and that was really good, same screen I think but this has a better CPU and more ram.
