Model reviewed is Wi-Fi only and with keyboard
In the box
- TCL TAB 10s tablet - USB-C charger cable - Charger plug - T-Pen - Keyboard case [optional] - Sim eject tool - Manual
Specs
It comes with 3GB ram and 32GB storage. Storage can be expand with a microSD card
It runs on near stock Android 10 out of the box, with little bloatware pre-installed. It is powered by an MediaTek MT8768
With an 8000mAh battery, that supports fast charging. You should be able to use the device for most of the day, without having to charge it
Unfortunately the charge cable is really short, which can limit you on using the tablet while charging. If you don't have a power plug near by
Sides
On the right you'll find the USB-C plug, an status light, power button and speakers
On top you find volume rockers, microphones and a sim [optional] / microSD tray
Left side you'll fine speakers
Bottom you'll find POGO pin, that can be used to connect a keyboard
Screen
It features an 10.1" IPS LCD screen, with an resolution of 1920x1200p
The color are vibrant and it allows for an decent brightness
There are minor screen bleeding on each side of the screen, along the shortest sides
Just above the screen you'll find an 5MP front camera. It's not amazing, but good enough for video calls
Rear
On the back you will find an 8MP camera and a flash
On this device there's a country specific legally required sticker, that can easily be peeled of
T-Pen
I'm the box you'll find an pen, that you can use to write and tap on the screen with
It does not have any special features or buttons, but works well and is a nice alternative to only using fingers
I found myself using the pen a lot more than fingers or keyboard, often in a combination with the keyboard
Unfortunately, there's not designed any places to store it while not in use. Neither on the tablet or the keyboard
[optional] Keyboard
If you add slight, you can get the tablet bundled with a keyboard. Which connects through the POGO pins
The keyboard have decent keys and is nice in use. It also doubles as an stand, but only supports one angle
In my region, I have not seen the keyboard sold separately and only as a bundle with the tablet. So that's worth considering, before deciding if you want with keyboard or not
Conclusion
It's a decent tablet and perfect if you have kids doing online school, where they'll need to be in video calls or if you just want to watch some videosIt's able to play most games, without any issue
