I'll be using the tablet for watching online streaming, web browsing and light gaming.

In a dilemma now. Both this and the Amazon Fire 10" Tablet have attractive price points and the specs are decent. Which one would be a better choice for me? Please recommend. Thanks in advance.

Are you comfortable with manual install of apps not available on Amazon app store ?

Amazon tablets are running a forked version of Android. Just so you know.

I reckon I should be able to install Google play on the Fire Tablet as I'm also using a Fire Stick atm.

Then in that case, in my opinion Amazon tablet had better hardware specs which can't be modified unlike software.

M3 10” is about $438 new (LTE). Lenovo Tab 4 10.1 Pro is around $499 although street price should be around $400 or so

Thanks.
1.5GB out 2GB ram use with few apps sounds a bit tight.
Just noticed from the youtube review by LOHTEC on the 8 plus version which had showed 1.8GB out of 2GB used for a day and the guy mentioned that "better close everything before playing gaming app".

The Japan plus version has no LTE but with 3G ram/16G storage whereas Korea version is with 4G ram/64G storage but no LTE (Happy Mall.. Qoo10 , 8 plus version ard S$380 with Qoo10 coupon ) .

[6/11] Amazon US has dropped USD 24 for both 8 inch and 10 inch LTE version ..baseline price for the coming year end sales? However the 10 inch one has been quoted as "does not ship to Singapore" now ..

Just a heads up. Tab 4 10 Plus on Amazon is now US$225.99 with free shipping to Singapore, although it is 2GB/16GB model.

That's about S$300 which is a better deal unless one really need 3GB RAM.

Just checked, the Tab 4 10 Plus on Amazon now charge ~US$10 for shipping to SG (at check out page)-there is no option as buy $125 free shipping to SG.

Just received the Tab 4 8 plus LTE set free shipped from Amazon after 2 weeks of waiting. Overall is good.

Found there is no dialer but can receive sms and mobile data is working. Called the Lenovo here (very messy as they just pass the ball to few other contact no) but none of their cso know if the tab 4 plus model can make phone call or not. Anyone can confirm if it can be used as phone (make/answer call)?

Found also no speech/voice output from its google voice (just show answer on screen with no voice response). Anyone experienced the same-no voice output from its google voice?
