What customers like about HTC A101 Plus 4G (8GB + 128GB)

  • Comes with the latest software experience (Android 14) out of the box
  • Large 10.95-inch WUXGA IPS display with a sharp 1920 x 1200 resolution
  • Healthy memory configuration with 8GB RAM and 128GB expandable storage
  • Modernized design featuring a clean aesthetic and relatively slim metal body
  • Decent 7,000 mAh battery capacity for extended use
  • Includes essential connectivity like a 3.5mm headphone jack and dual nano-SIM slots

What customers don't like about HTC A101 Plus 4G (8GB + 128GB)

  • Underpowered Unisoc T606 chipset, which is slightly slower than the older model's processor
  • Slow 10W wired charging speed for a battery of this size
  • Visible and somewhat 'chunky' display bezels
  • Limited availability, primarily launched in specific markets like Russia and South Africa
  • Camera performance is basic and uninspiring for a mid-range device
  • Strong competition from better-equipped alternatives in the same price range, such as the Redmi Pad SE

Verdict

The HTC A101 Plus 4G is a budget-friendly tablet featuring a 10.95-inch WUXGA IPS display with a 1920 x 1200 resolution and a 16:10 aspect ratio. Under the hood, it is powered by a Unisoc T606 octa-core processor paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, which is expandable via a microSD card slot. Its key highlights include 4G LTE connectivity, a substantial 7,000 mAh battery, and the modern Android 14 operating system. Main pros consist of its generous memory configuration for its price point, integrated stereo speakers, and a slim 7.5mm metal-bodied design. However, notable cons include its relatively slow entry-level chipset, limited 10W charging speed that may lead to long recharge times, and a lack of advanced biometric security beyond basic AI face unlock.
