now if you're looking for a affordable Android tablet tech class has this model it is a new from
them it's called the ticklast t40s it does have your basic tabletting needs covered with a 10.4
inch full HD display while it's actually full HD Plus powered by an octa-core chipset it even has
eight gigabytes of RAM and 128 gigabytes of storage ufs 2.1 expandable via micro SD a 6
000 milliamp hour battery and it is running Android 12. so is it an affordable tablet you
should consider let's find out in this review of the teclast t40s included with the tablet we get a
warranty card user manual there is a charger here now this charger is 10 watts only nice small size
but it is slow will take just over two hours to charge the 6 000 milliamp hour battery and then
our cable so type A to type c and find finally the micro SD card tool so no there is no sim support
with this particular model now the build quality it's not too bad we do have this metal unibody
housing so it does pick up fingerprints you can see a few of them already now the weight is good
it is 469 grams and the thickness of this tablet is just eight millimeters so this part along
the top that is plastic for the wireless antenna reception and then we do have a flash right here
I don't know why they need to put this on their AI camera because there's really no AI in it at
all seen maybe that's it a 13 megapixel here on the back so I'll give you a sample now what
you can expect from this 13 megapixel camera and then on the front we do have a five megapixel one
video from this 13 megapixel camera is 1080P and you will notice that it's having a few problems
with the focus that it keeps pulsing in and out especially if you move about so your mobile phone
will definitely take a lot better video than this which as you can tell from this footage here it's
quite poor quality the exposes off and just the way it pulses in and out not very good at all
so the front-facing camera five megapixels it's not good quality either now we'll be okay for
things like voice chat apps like Skype video calls that's really about it so it's good that
we have this option with a front-facing camera but you know this quality your phone will definitely
have a better front-facing camera than this on the left side we have our power button volume
up and down this is a little reset button now these buttons here they feel fine uh but they
are plastic okay so it's Alloy on the back of it but the buttons are plastic type c Port here too
now USB two speeds you'll see on the other side there is nothing at all there down the bottom two
loudspeakers now they're not amazing speakers as you can imagine for an affordable tablet
they're okay they do the job the volume is all right it could be a little bit louder however
is the eskute star this model here as you can see is a fat wheeled e-bike so it's
got those four inch wide tires they're from CST and they do soak up a lot of the bumps
and we've got a battery pack that's located here in the frame now it's really large it says 20 amp
hours so with our micro SD card slot here we can expand upon our storage which is great we
can take it from the 128 gigabytes you can even add up to another terabyte so that's
what the slot looks like it does seem like it would have had our 4G support maybe supporting
two Nano Sims or you have to give up one of the Nano Sims and use the micro SD card slot but no
so there's no 4G no data with it but good to see this that we can expand upon that storage
so we do have an IPS panel with this model it is 10.4 inches so it's 2000 by 1200 fully laminated
so laminated so we don't see any of the horrible Gap or anything now it comes with a pre-applied
screen protector the screen's brightness I'll show you it's currently at about 70 now at
a hundred it's just over 215 nits brightness so it's not a very bright screen at all it's
a little on the dull side I wish it was brighter that is really my only complaint considering the
price of this tablet here I think it is fine and great to see that it is fully laminated because
a lot of the more cheaper tablets they won't be fully laminated at all tend to look a bit
uglier now I've just installed a display test and I'll just show you that briefly now you see
the refresh rate listed here is 60 so it's only a 60 hertz panel sometimes it feels a little bit
choppy and I'll just show you some of the real world images they do have here with this test
that it's overall an acceptable screen it's fine for the price tag I think of this one now you see
that when I swipe that seems to be pretty good I have noticed that sometimes you will see a little
bit of lag with the UI so it is running Android 12 and they do have an over-the-air update system
with this particular model too and it's all in all I think it's all right their performance here it's
again nothing amazing sometimes it feels a little bit choppy and you'll see that we have all of
our apps now the good part about it is there's no bloat where we do have FM radio but as I mentioned
before there is no sim support with this we've only got with that micro SD card slot just the
micro SD cards that's it so no Sims no 4G so it is stuck on Android 12 I believe probably forever
I don't ever see this model here gaining Android 13 or 14 that will be it if they do have any bug
fixes or a security patch or anything like that they may be pushed out with this with the system
upgrade but that'll be it now the display does let us tweak the colors in a few extra things thanks
to mirror Vision now it's a little hidden away so I will show you that because when you go into
the display options I noticed straight away that oh hang on where is the color contrast settings
that you normally see the standard Android setting there at least with Android 12 level missing right
so you've got your dark theme your night mode there but it's under mirror Vision so you need
to go into that and I think a lot of people might just see this and go oh okay where is the settings
that I want you need to tap here then you've got it all okay you've got your advanced settings the
picture modes standard Vivid that we normally have and you can go along and change a few of those
other options there which is good so that's all pretty standing there now the day-to-day General
kind of performance for apps is all right so Playbook so do have open this is a large PDF file
that I was taking a look at here just to test out the performance and you can see it's fine it skips
ahead and I think this is what this tablet is okay for and ideal light use like this so just having a
look at PDF files ebooks media consumption YouTube things like that this is a eBook
you can see the text looks sharp I can happily read this and it's under 500 grams the weight of
this tablet so not really too much of an issue at all with it now can invert the text you can apply
the blue light filter that is all there so when you do multitask again this is where you may see
a little bit of lag at times the eight gigabytes of RAM certainly helping out and it is powered by
that Media Tech mt81 83 it's a very old quad core but it seems to do all right with its
Mali g72 Graphics it seems to be all right now when you go into YouTube you do have the option
all setting here the quality so you can of course stream this in 1080P and that is of course what
you want but Netflix and Amazon Prime video sadly because we don't have a wide vulnerable one cert
I hope that Tech glass can fix this but I won't be holding my breath on this one it's streaming just
at standard definition so that is where they don't look amazing you can still watch the TV episodes
and everything but when it's only 480p versus even HD you do notice that drop in quality so
FM radio is on board and all your normal kind of apps they seem to be working pretty well
with it and overall not too bad the performance considering the price of this tablet so there are
just a few other things I wanted to mention when you first get the tablet you've got 114 gigabytes
free now this is ufs 2.1 storage and good that we have 128 gigabytes not 64. and as I showed you
before we've got the micro SD card slot so you can add up to another terabyte now there isn't really
any bloatware in fact none I don't classify any of these applications as bloatware that is their own
over-the-air update system system update that's tech class by the way and we will probably never
get Android 13 or Android 14 on this tablet at this price point it doesn't happen they never
give you those major updates and especially coming from Tech last so that ufs 2.1 storage the speeds
aren't actually too bad for what it is for the older USB ufs 2.1 that is you can see good random
reads and right sequentials are decent there this will not bottleneck the system it is the chipset
that I'll get onto soon so battery life average here I was expecting a little better considering
it displays not that bright a six and a half hours now realistically you can probably squeeze seven
and a half lower the brightness down maybe a tad over that but that's it you can't get like eight
or nine or even 10 hours on the tablet because it's got a slightly smaller six thousand milliamp
hour battery there are some other ones out there with eight eight thousand milliamp hours or seven
thousand five hundred now this is what I was talking about before why we don't have Netflix
and Amazon Prime video info HD is because they do not have the level one suit here for DRM for your
streaming apps which I do hope they can fix but probably won't happen now this test here this is
uh antutu it's showing me that the performance of this tablet is very low end so this is just 2
000 points 200 000 sorry points if it was two thousand that would be terrible but 200
000 points so it's very basic basic needs basic gaming and I will show you a little bit of gaming
and even a super demanding game now here I'll load up gentian impact you can see that I do have it
installed will it be able to play it here now I do have gen chin impact wow on the lower settings and
you can see that yeah there is quite a bit of lag now the game name what I classify this as playable
I think just if you have a lot of patience but I certainly wouldn't really want a game not like
this because it can get very choppy at times and where I'm based on the map at the moment
here these enemies aren't too tough there's not really that much going on but the melee
g72 graphics with its three cores because it's the MP3 version definitely struggling here whoops well
and and I've already got my character's dying here a bit quite choppy now if you play games like pubg
Call of Duty on the lowest settings they do feel a lot better remember this game here is the most
demanding I know a lot of people like to play it but I am finding it just a little bit too laggy
here to be enjoyable okay so to recap here this tablet should be selling for around about 140 US
Dollars and at that price point you're getting something that is good for just basic Android
tabletting needs so I'm talking about Chrome uh YouTube ebooks stuff like that that it's
going to be fine at the UI seems to be right the performance of it it's not too bad the display is
at 60 hertz so no it's not 120 hert kind of model not really would you get that at this price point
either now it does have the eight gigabytes of RAM FM radio a fully laminated display
runs Android 12 which is stock and the battery capacity 6 000 milliamp hours we'll give you a
run time of about six to seven hours but that's only light tasks if you game it'll be about half
of that now the gaming performance as I showed you with the most demanding and quite a popular
game gen impact was very laggy so it's not for gamers really this model unless you're going to
be playing older titles say pubg May maybe Call of Duty some other older games will run okay on
this but just around the lower settings of course now because of the price tag here we are missing
features like GPS 4G in fact there's no 3.5 millimeter headphone jack and it also does not
have a wide Vine level one cert so what that means is as I showed you and talked about it is Netflix
Amazon Prime video they're just in standard definition unfortunately so there we go that
is the tech glass t40s an affordable tablet from them thank you so much for watching this review
