Teclast M40 - Android 10 Tablet, Octa Core 6GB / 128GB

I had two of the Telcast Tablet 2 years ago. It's garbage. Battery doesn't last, absolutely no after sale support nor firmware.

To be avoid.

Will this tablet work with dji fly?

Agreed. I had an older model with the same problems, and I'm surprised this company still exists.

Do yourselves a favor and buy a used iPad. Or buy a new iPad for $400. The ipad is twice the money but will last four time more. I owned at least five of these no-name brand for the last two decades. It is always interesting to try, but utility-wise, they are crap.

I think you have to know the brands you're dealing with, but I've done well with Chuwi and Cube so far. My Cube Windows tablet could probably use a new battery after being a few years old, but that's not surprising, nor is it terribly expensive or hard to do.

how much does banggood is paying you to post their garbage?

My last one was a Chuwi. The antenna connecter broke so I had to solder it back. Then my kids drop it from the bed and the screen shatter. I tried to replace the screen but it was glue shut to the frame (unlike the ipad which can be opened using heatgun). Oh well, it is fun to try different things but if you want reliability, just get an ipad in my opinion. We still have an ipad 2 running.

Don't be too judgmental. Bangood has things that is of value. Electrical components for example.

Agree, had one with duel OS few years ago. The battery didn't last half a year.

Don't know what folks use 10" tablets for, but the Fire HD 10 can be had for $150 + tax when it goes on sale regularly.
I know folks swear by the ipad, I'm pretty sure they are fabulous, however I do not know what to use tablets for, (media? - large screen TV or nothing else! ebooks? - no time, I listen to audiobooks; Work? - Laptop, can connect to a larger screen if needed), so I can't justify the expense.

Interesting. Which OS won?

I agree that the fire hd would be good. Not sure how long they update the OS though. The ipad has very long OS support. The software support is important.

I guess you don't have a family . If you do, kids are the one who use them the most. It is just simpler and more mobile than a laptop/desktop. They watch shows (you have to limit them), art and crafts on youtube, play games, and doing school work. Believe or not, a tablet is required by major school boards for home work. I think the Fire HD 10 will handle all of that though.

I had the Teclast T11 (10.6" screen) which was a dual boot Windows and Android tablet. I found that I used the android OS about 95% of the time. Unfortunately, over time I kept losing storage space for some reason, to the point that I couldn't get enough room for my apps to update. I never could find a factory refresh setting, so when the battery started bulging I called it quits.

The dual OS, is Window and Android; it can dual boot.
On Windows, the battery last barely like 20min or so, Android a bit longer.
But I once i had done one firmware update, the Window partition dissapear.
The window boot was my main point buying it,
They have zero support, its now sitting with my pot mat.

Banggood web site has far too many unnecessary 3rd party cookies.

dual OS, and it was laggy as hell too.

I think the cheapie Samsung at Giant Tiger for $70 is better than this. For around the same price as this Teclast, pick up a Samsung Tab A from SDM. Great if you have some points as there is a redemption going on right now. I use mine all the time, including making replies to this forum...

Which model is the one at Giant Tiger?

I own this and it is a utter garbage. Not even single update since day one.
