What is a good Android cheap tablet?

Looki ng to get one for my LS swapped RX7 to run Torque since only a few gages work.

Might use it every so often to watch Youtube or stream movies.

Looking for 7 or 8in

I think that kindle fires run a variant of Android and can be had for far less than the $100 mark, especially around holiday shopping time.

I have Torque L ite on my Fire HD 8. I don’t remember if it’s directly compatible with the tablet, or if I had to make it work, but it works. Amazon went to great lengths to keep users from goin g anywhere except Amazon’s own app store, but there is a workaround. If you install a handful of APKs, you can get the Google Play app, and get Torque from there.

Amazon is pretty aggressive about directing users back to Amazon in as many ways as they could. They want you coming back to Amazon for apps, for one thing. Also, the default Silk browser lets Amazon track users. And you can’t change the screensaver/lock screen to display anything but ads unless you pay a fee.

Hisense makes a decent tablet. Last time I used one it was very unadulterated Android softw are , dunno if that’s the same but I would buy one if I was looking.

I just bought a refurbished 8 inch Galaxy Tab A for $ 70 on eBay. So far it's been pretty swell. Model number is SM-T380 if you want to find the same one.
