What customers don't like about TCL Tabmax 10 4 WiFi (6GB + 256GB)

  • Underwhelming 13MP rear camera quality, especially in low light
  • No 3.5mm headphone jack, requiring an adapter or Bluetooth
  • Lack of a fingerprint scanner, relying on standard PIN or face unlock
  • Software updates are infrequent, with the device often running older Android versions
  • Performance can struggle with demanding 3D games or intensive tasks

Verdict

The TCL TABMAX 10.4 is a mid-range WiFi-only tablet featuring a 10.36-inch IPS LCD 'NXTVISION' display with a 2000 x 1200 resolution and an 83.2% screen-to-body ratio. Under the hood, it is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 octa-core processor paired with a generous 6GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage, which is expandable via microSD up to an additional 256GB. Key pros include its high memory capacity for multitasking, a large 8,000mAh battery with 18W fast charging that supports long-duration video streaming, and its slim 7.65mm lightweight design. However, notable cons include the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack, no cellular LTE support in this specific model, a missing fingerprint scanner, and somewhat narrow viewing angles on the display.
