Teclast M40 Plus: New Android tablet arrives with 10.1-inch and 1200p display for under US$140

Teclast has presented the M40 Plus, which it sells through AliExpress. Listed for US$179.99 on the company's website, Teclast actually charges at little as US$139.45 on AliExpress for the tablet, a power adapter, a charging cable and a card slot tool. Alternatively, the M40 Plus can be purchased with a protective cover and a compact keyboard, should you need either of these.

The M40 Plus is based on the Kompanio 500 MT8183, a chipset that MediaTek released in 2019. Built around a 12 nm manufacturing process, the Kompanio 500 MT8183 features four ARM Cortex-A53 CPU cores, four Cortex-A73 CPU cores and a Mali-G72 MP3 GPU, as well as an AI accelerator that delivers up to 0.5 TOPS of performance. Additionally, the M40 Plus has 8 GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 128 GB of UFS 2.1 flash storage, with the latter expandable via a microSD card.

Moreover, the M40 Plus has a 10.1-inch IPS panel that operates at 1,920 x 1,200 pixels in a 16:10 aspect ratio. According to Teclast, the tablet also has a 7,000 mAh battery, a USB Type-C port for charging and data transfer, an 8 MP primary camera and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Currently, the M40 Plus is only orderable in Sea Blue, although this colourway does not extend to the front, as Teclast's images show. More details about the M40 Plus can be found on the company's website.
