As a frequent traveler, I was looking for something that was light, and have enough storage to carry all my music or download videos to watch during flights without sucking up the memory on my phone. I had iPad mini generation 3 through generation 6, and while they were great, after losing my last one, I decided to try something less expensive, especially since I have numerous apps and needed at least 512G of storage and cellular capabilities. The latest Mini with that configuration is over $1100! I've tested all the various Android versions from the super cheap ones from unknown brands, ranging from $75 to $250, ordering from Aliexpress and Temu and here on Amazon. I did a ton of research and a couple things worth noting for those still deciding:* Android 14 or later was key that is an AUTHENTICATED version, mainly because of security concerns* Devices from China have a ton of bloatware and, more importantly, spyware that was built into the system and could not be deleted despite trying uninstaller apps. I found out the hard way after installing my Google accounts, and shortly after, I found out I was getting spam and attempted hacks since my contacts had been downloaded into the device. Luckily, I had 2FA set up for my accounts. I would not install anything sensitive if you bought a device from Aliexpress or Temu with bloatware that can't be uninstalled; check hidden files in settings.* Battery life has to be at least 5 hours or more; some claim high battery life only to find out that the battery drains much faster than described. I would not get any device with less than 6000mh battery.* I didn't want to spend more than $250After numerous devices, I got the Teclast M50 Pro mini and thought I had found the right one. It was good, reasonably fast with minimal bloatware, and cheaper than this Alldocube. It was fast, had a good interface, and had better screen resolution than others I had tried. Then, I discovered it was incompatible with T-Mobile, my wireless carrier for the last 20 years, and I wasn't going to change my family's wireless plans. So I returned it. After more research, I came across this Alldocube for about $200, which was higher than what I wanted to spend. It's the one!Why I liked this device:* Good screen resolution* Just the right size and weight, not too heavy for reading (I use the Libby app to check out books from the library)* Battery life is sufficient, and the processor is zippy!* No bloatware, I didn't find any apps or spyware (I will update if I do)* I bought the 256G internal storage version, and external storage capability said it could accept up to 512G microSD card...I installed a 2Tb card, and it seems to recognize it perfectly fine* Sound quality is what you'd expect from a little device -- not so great, but I always use Bluetooth earbuds anyway, so it was not a factor for me.* Camera -- didn't test it, didn't care. I may use the device for Zoom/Team calls and don't need anything super high-resolution; my iPhone 16 pro is my portable camera, this device isn't meant to be a camera replacement.This is it if you want an Android replacement for your iPad mini, but sacrifice on sound quality unless you use headphones or earbuds.
