Bezels, 2013 is calling saying it wants its designs back.

Cameras should be properly usable or don’t include them.
An 8MP rear camera is very much usable, if it’s paired with decent drivers and camera app. The old Samsung Galaxy tab A 10.1 (2016) had an 8MP f1.9 and could take good photos. So if Samsung could get it right in 2016, how the heck could Oppo get it wrong in 2023?

What makes this a tablet I simply cannot consider, is it’s WiFi only, and has no stylus. I rely on my tablets being phones, and I’ve come to rely on the functionality of the S Pen stylus.

I tend to agree that Android tablets are a tough sell, and to be honest, I doubt any Android tablet vendors are moving big numbers of them. If you want and use a tablet for productivity, almost certainly its some variant on the iPad; they’ve really dominated this market segment and I see no signs of that letting up.

As for the comment about paid articles, this most certainly wasn’t one.
