Not sure how people are claiming they got this for "$99" when I'm pretty sure the all-time-low in Canada was $109 ($154-$45 coupon) back in March of this year.
The thing is, Amazon kicked people in the face on Prime Day(s) when they were selling it for more than that; now they kick the faces of people again with $129 when it's on clearance!!! Gimme a break Amazon. Should be $99 this time, tops; and, none of this one-day foolishness either, should be that price until depleted!
Definitely refuse to buy when it's obviously clearance time with the new one coming out on the 30th, and the price on this is just too high. New one will be $199 but should wait for a decent sale before buying that model too. It will very likely be discounted for US Black Friday, I'm guessing somewhere near $150-160 CAD. Sadly the new version only comes in black or white

Looking at the product page for the new version and it claims to be 30% faster. Given that marketing usually embellishes things and how slow the previous gen was, that's not sounding too great lol. I still quite like the previous version for the $109 I paid for it. But I only really use it as a VLC/Plex/Netflix player and eBook/comic reader.

Agreed that little piece of the puzzle right there is what makes this 2019 update not too future proof. I guess the Android fork will be Nougat which is a obviously better than 5.1. At $200 the 2019 won’t be a deal. If it goes on Black Friday for $149 it will be good value. Plus maybe by then we will know how easy it is to put the play store on the 2019 version.
This one at $129 isn’t bad, but it isn’t super great considering the OS remains on 5.1. In real life this means games like pokemon Masters won’t install.

I've been seeing lots of Huawei Mediapad T5s for sale as all the carriers are giving them for free. Ended up getting one for $100 but seeing a few at $150. Only 16 GB though but fine for the same purpose of media and browsing.

I wouldn't buy this tablet for myself. There are much better ones out there.
The only Amazon tablet that is REALLY worth it is the new kids edition tablet. 2 year warranty!! Omg this is amazing. You kid can smash the thing and they will replace it no questions asked. Also the software looks great for kids. I've been trying to find a kid friendly launcher for the one we have now and none are good.
My son is getting one of these for xmas

If you guys are looking for a low cost tablets check out Chuwi (available form Alibaba, Banggood etc). I bought an Hi9 Plus and Hi9 Air and the performance is great, specs much better than the Amazon tablets and the cost similar. About the only negative is the shipping time.

I own this model. I think with $100, it's a good tablet. I just usually put this in my washroom and bring it with me while travelling. Not up to a daily-used tablet standard for me, but watching youtube on a trip or in washroom, this tablet is good enough.
However, $130 is a bit too much..

Amazon honours its warranty. Would Chuwi also be so?

Well, if the product is as good as the product documentation, looks like we have a winner:
Android 6.0 System
The Android 7.0 OS decreases mounts of storage space required for apps and improves runtime device performance.

Dont buy this if you have a smartphone and use it to do most of your everyday things. Now you are willing to get a tablet to ease things a bit. This is not for you. This can be used as a kids tablet or for elderly people. Now for everyday usage. This will break your patience if you want to use it as an everyday tablet.. I returned it and got a Samsung for 100$ more. Its worth it.
This is junk...

Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video and movies are the apps I am using on this tablet. They run quite well too. I also read eBooks borrowed from public libraries. Nothing wrong with this tablet (current/old gen) running these apps. I would not browse the web on it though as swapping webpages in a browser is a tad slow. I like its HD screen and the loud speakers. I use a microSD card to store movies to be watched on a trip. For my use, it is definitely good value for money at the discount price compared to other brands which may run faster but at much higher prices. Also I installed Nova launcher to replace the stock launcher on this tablet and thus do not see any Amazon ads at all. I installed Vance app instead of the official YouTube app and thus do not see any Google ads on the YouTube videos I am watching.

I think this thread is full of BS. It appears to be sold out. I would love to buy one at 129. These tablets have recently been exploited. A whole bunch of things are opening up for this tablet. For the specs it's worth it but I mean if u can get it cheaper, sure go ahead. In any case it's cheap BC Amazon figures it is way into your life but like I say they can be removed now

No clue, both units I bought never required repairs. Chuwi website has a bunch of limitations on warranty claims - you may want to look into those. The sellers offer replacement if DOA, but I bet you'll be the one paying for the postage back to China. These are $250 tablets that have specs similar to $800 tablets sold in Canada. Someone needs to make a $ and customer service is the first one to go.
