I doubt that since, compared to Samsung A9+ 5G Tablet (I assume that's what you are referring to), this tablet has much better specs. Having said that, if it does go down further, it will be an even better deal Smilie

Based on past experience with metro tablets, same unlock policy as phones. 365 days should have passed after initial activation.

Please explain what you mean by "Powerful MediaTek D6300 5G processor"? A G99 CPU is the same speed (maybe 2% faster) and it has been 3 years since we have been seeing G99 CPU on the LOWeST LEVEL tablets.

Even Samsung STOPPED using the 6300 BECAUSE IT IS OLD TECH AND TOO SLOW. But you are telling everyone it is POWERFUL... yes it was POWERFUL about 6 years ago.

Much better specs when you compare it to the 8GB A9+ ??? I don't think I would go that far. They both use UFS 2.2.

Due to the better CPU (newer and more effient) I would say the Moto is about 5 - 10% faster. I would not say that is "MUCH" better specs. I would actually change the word MUCH to BARELY.

But the moto does a MUCH better screen... if that helps. And the screen is important. ALSO moto has WAY less bloatware and most of it can be disabled or deleted. To me this is the most important aspect.

Moto use to be much cleaner.... but it is still not bad, nothing like Samsung which is the worst of the worst. The "Sneaky" Bloat: Recent reviews for the 2026 models mention a "System Tray" or "Moto Hub" feature in the launcher. This sometimes injects affiliate links or "suggested apps" into your search results. For example, searching for an app might suggest a web link that generates a commission for Motorola. The Good News: Almost all of this can be turned off in the settings, and third-party apps like Facebook or LinkedIn can usually be uninstalled completely, not just "disabled."

This is what I don't understand...

$20.00 for 13 months (you need to wait 12 FULL months to unlock) = $260.00 + initial cost.

Why don't you buy a better tablet and use your cell phone's hotspot or your home's wifi? This is what I do not understand?
