Why would someone release an a new tabnet or phone with Android 8 now?
Even releasing a new device with Android 9 is pushing it as Android 11 has been released.
I would not buy a new device today that did not at least have Android 9 is my plans was not soley to hack it with an other OS.
At a size of 21.5″ and with VESA mounts, I won’t call this a tablet anymore…. And probably you would not buy a tablet of that size, whatever its Android version 😉
It is not a product for mass consumption, but rather oriented to professionals and to be used in kiosk mode, loaded with a custom app (so it doesn’t care about being bleeding edge OS). Just imagine a kind of usage like self-service point-of-sale in a shop.
I know plenty of people who would want one or several of them in their homes for different interactive displays, including home automation control
Yeah but this isnt the intended market for this product
kids need bigger screen for their online classrooms now. 10 inch tablet too small.
