TCL has announced a new tablet, the Tab 8 LE, which is headed to T-Mobile and Metro in the US.
TCL has introduced a slew of devices over the past weeks, with new smartphones like it, an Android tablet, Windows 2-in-1 laptops, and more. But, it looks like it still has more to share, as it’s now announcing its Tab 8 LE tablet that will be available this week from wireless carriers T-Mobile and Metro in the US.
The Tab 8 LE is relatively compact as it measures 7,761 x 4.91 x 0.35 inches. It features an 8-inch 800 x 1280 display, and is powered by a MediaTek MT8766 quad-core processor, which is paired with 3GB of RAM. It will have 32GB of internal storage with room for expansion using a microSD card up to 512GB. As for the cameras, you’re looking at a 5MP unit on the back and a 5MP sensor on the front.
On top of that, you should be able to use all day long thanks to the 4,080mAh battery, which can be charged via its USB-C port. With all that said, the big thing here is that it will have a nano-SIM slot, giving it access to its wireless internet connection on the go. Of course, if you don’t want to rely on a cellular Internet connection, you don’t have to and you can always use a Wi-Fi connection.
As mentioned before, the TCL Tab 8 LE is coming to T-Mobile and Metro in the US and should be a great budget option if you’re looking for a connected tablet. The tablet will have a fixed cost of just $159 and could be even lower with contracts and incentives. Since T-Mobile and Metro haven’t shared pricing information yet, we’ll update this first article with full details as they become available.
