Will it work if I just take the TMobile sim from my phone and insert it into the tablet? Or I have to get a new data line?
got no idea

Would this tablet be good enough as a simple Android head unit in the car? Tethered to phone for data; aux cable to car for audio out.

Will only use it for navigation, music/podcast streaming, check gas prices, no gaming. Possibly Android Auto, if this setup works.

Figured at this price, I can upgrade to a new tablet every few years, as needed. I would think this would be better than any stock/aftermarket head unit, maybe.

Last time I checked, most, if not all, reviews online have stated the fact that the A9 plus is a TFT yet have given it stellar reviews and considered the best budget tablet in the market now. You're not enlightening or discouraging us from the A9 plus.

Also, if you click on "View More" on Samsung's product page, it's literally mentioned "TFT" at the beginning section of the specs. No hiding.
All displays have TFT. TFT just means thin-film-transistor. IPS is a technology strategy on the alignment of the liquid crystals. I believe IPS was first introduced by name by LG Display. Samsung makes their own displays and they have their own version of IPS (in plane switching). Basically the same thing. I think most display manufacturers are using the similar type of IPS. IPS is not the only factor in the viewing angle though. The backlight unit optical films directs the light uniformily and directionally. when using cheaper products, the viewing angle will suck. The polarizer also plays a big part. Due to the light path is longer when light is shot out diagonally and so the light has not gone through the full retardation. A compensation film added to the polarizer will make up for that and expand the Contrast at different angles.
Moral of the story: IPS is only one factor of the three that determines the optical quality with respect to viewing angle. so, you better off checking it out in real life before purchasing.

The Q&A on the product page says that it is unlocked.

Yes, this TCL 10.1" Tab 10 5G Tablet is unlocked for any GSM carrier.

It can perform all those tasks: GPS, check; VLC player, check; Opera browser, check; Android 12, check; Bluetooth 5.0, check; and so on.

Here is my area of concern. The CPU is weak. The storage is weak (32GB eMMC). The display may not be bright enough. Ultimately you'll be the one to decide if the tablet is good enough for you.

As for me, I'll pass due to 1, the speakers are weak; 2, the microphone is weak. Those are not problem in your usage, but impede mine.

I believe it should serve fine as a head unit in the car, but a few things to look out for.

1) The brightness may not be fully up to the task when it's really bright outside which can be slightly circumvented with a matte screen protector.

2) According to the product page, it only supports GPS, which is completely fine, but other tablets (mostly all of the Samsung ones) support multiple satellite systems like Beidou, Glonass, which can help further accuracy.

3) Chipset can be slightly sluggish, but for navigation and other simple stuff, it should do fine.

I'm currently using a Samsung Tab A7 Lite currently for my head unit and it works absolutely fine. The cpu on my a7 is even slower than the TCL. Brightness can be an issue due to the glossiness, but the matte screen protector helps a ton.

Just received mine, I like it. Screen looks fine (not a retina), sounds fine (for what it is), comfortable back to hold - nice texture (I hate covers) Everything I want to use works (Netflix, Surf, YouTube, Gmail and Chrome programs, Netflix. I have not tried the cell coverage, that will be for this summer while traveling. Overall, very positive experience. A great deal at the BH price.

Do you own one? Because I do and so far it works great. No stuttering issues, speakers are as decent enough and loud enough in a car but honestly isnt that why you own BT headphones?. Microphone I don't know as I don't plan on using it. All at $120? Very Happy. Now I have not tried out the 5g yet, and won't till this summer, but to me this is a great price on a 5G tablet. I could spend a lot more money to get a 5G tablet but why?

I don't own this one, because I'll pass. I do have watched several YT reviews on this tablet. And I own a Lenovo Yoga Tab 11 with a Mediatek CPU (Helio G90T). While it's 100% adequate for my needs, I am under no illusions about its performance. I can feel it is slower than Snapdragon every time I reboot the tablet.

What the heck is your point? The member is sharing their experience with a tablet and their disappointment with the screen. Nothing you say contradicts that, who cares what other reviewers say about it, it doesn't change the fact that THEY returned it because of the screen
Because they said

(Samsung buries the fact that the A9+ has a TFT display on the specifications of the product page by not specifying the type of the display and by omitting the viewing angles).

Slow as molasses, SMS both ways didn't work- like with other tablets.
Returned the next day.

mediatek makes fast chips and slow lower end ones. so does qualcomm (snapdragon). has nothing to do with the brand. it's like saying my chevy loses to a ford mustang therefore all chevy's are slower than all fords, ignoring that corvettes and Camaros and pintos exist

the kompanio 800t in this i cant get a read on, seems very rare. if anything it looks like it might not be awful. there are low end tablets with awful chips. 4gb ram is a negative too tho, tho expected at the price.

I am sorry for you... that you actually think it is a good deal.

There is the "Lincplus T3" or "iplay 50 mini pro NFE" ONLY TWO budget tablets to consider.

The Lincplus T3 is cheaper then this deal and is a WAY BETTER tablet.

And I have both of those tablets and completely recommend both. Both are available at Amazon.
