Teclast T40 HD tablet review – The budget tablet with lots of fast storage and mobile data

For a price of just over US$200, the Teclast T40 HD makes a decent impression: Its passable speakers, long runtimes and its Widevine L1 support all make the tablet a great companion for streaming and movie nights. The device comes with plenty of fast storage, a high-resolution and somewhat bright screen, as well as the option to use cellular data for calls or to surf the web on the go.

Even so, the Teclast T40 HD likes being indoors more than it does being outside: On bright days, its screen isn’t quite bright enough, its speakers aren’t loud enough to drown out ambient noise, and its location services are a bit inaccurate.

Its cameras are usable for snapshots or scanning documents — however, as is the same with all cheaper tablets, you can’t expect the same picture quality as can be achieved on expensive smartphones. Its software support is rather rudimentary, too, and you will have to make do with quite a short 12-month warranty.

A sleek metal case and extensive features (including lots of fast storage and a cellular modem) all make the Teclast T40 HD an interesting device within its price class.

If you don’t place much importance on battery life but are on the hunt for more performance and better sound, then you should take a look at the Teclast M50 Pro. On the other hand, the Lenovo Tab M10 2022 (Gen 3) also supports LTE, but you’ll have to settle for an older version of Android.
