I need an Android tablet.
10 inch or if better overall an 8 inch will do.
It needs to be a recent Android OS so to work with some security apps
for my aged parents.

I hope to buy several and to keep the cost under $200 each.
I do not need much memory as a SD can be added to most.

Processors speed or number of cores might be needed as the tablet will
be used with Android compatible security cameras etc.

5G WiFi is also needed (not a range problem I have checked) ! I am
using up all their 2G bandwith right now.

Really just using as a monitor.

Thank you so much to these helpful knowledgeable groups.

The reviews I read on line (Googled) are confusing and at Amazon almost
all tablets are pop-pooed except for the very expensive ones.

The Amazon Alexa monitors are NOT android either and I read that setting
up my chosen cameras is difficult and NOT free to stream for viewing to
the Alexa screen device. So I gave up on that even though the price was
about $100 for the 8 inch Alexa Screen.

The Android app's screen gives full camera control too so it is Android
I need.

I bought and returned an Amazon Fire as it implied Android compatibility
but it is NOT compatible so returned. Gave me a full refund even though
I opened the box and turned it on and tried. The tech understood my
dilemma and agreed so refunded all.

It looks like you get what you pay for.

The input end of things is *important*, especially
for old people. For example, someone with arthritis
might not be able to actuate any HID devices worth
a damn. (Big thumbs and tiny tiny chiclet keyboards.)
And it takes the fun out of life if your
hands no longer work. Don't buy a computer for
someone with arthritis, without sneaking a peek
at their hands, and how ruined they are.

This is what I learned from attempting to use
"survey tablets" they have at the doctors office.
I would have used a keyboard or a stylus, if they
had offered me that option. I don't like trying to
use my fingernail to write my lifes story on glass.
