Lab test · Budget 8-inch Android tablet
Verdict
The Alldocube M8 is a budget 8-inch Android tablet whose 16:10 screen stands out, but its graphics fall well behind pricier rivals.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Alldocube M8 Cellular (2GB + 16GB)

  • High-quality 8-inch 1920x1200 IPS screen with crystal-clear picture quality
  • Excellent value for money as an affordable 4G LTE-connected device
  • Dual SIM support with 4G LTE and voice call functionality
  • Clean, near-stock Android 8.0 ROM with minimal bloatware
  • Lightweight and portable design, weighing approximately 345–354g
  • Includes a 3.5mm headphone jack and FM radio support

What customers don't like about Alldocube M8 Cellular (2GB + 16GB)

  • Likely stuck on Android 8.0 with no future OS updates expected
  • Limited to Widevine L3, preventing HD streaming on platforms like Netflix
  • Single mono speaker lacks bass and stereo sound
  • Plastic build quality and non-laminated screen (gap between digitizer and panel)
  • Performance can lag or drop frames in demanding games like PUBG or when multitasking
  • Occasional touchscreen responsiveness issues reported by some long-term users

Verdict

The Alldocube M8 Cellular is a compact 8-inch tablet featuring a high-resolution 1920 x 1200 IPS display and a deca-core MediaTek Helio X27 processor. This specific variant comes equipped with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, though it supports expansion up to 128GB via a microSD slot. Its primary strengths include dual 4G LTE SIM support for on-the-go connectivity, a relatively large 5500mAh battery for its size, and a lightweight 345g build that facilitates easy one-handed use. However, the limited 2GB of RAM can lead to multitasking lag, and the 16GB of internal storage fills up quickly with modern apps. Additionally, the device uses an older Android 8.0 Oreo operating system with no further official updates expected, and the non-laminated screen is prone to reflections.
