Deal | NPad X Android 13 tablet with MediaTek G99 SoC now shipping for US$149

AliExpress has the latest NPad X tablet in stock with Android 13 for $149 USD after applying the coupon code 'NPADX10' at checkout. Otherwise, the tablet retails for $179 before any incentives.

Core specifications for the tablet include:

• 10.95-inch 2000 x 1200 resolution IPS touchscreen, 300 nits
• MediaTek Helio G99 SoC w/ Mali-G57 GPU
• 8 GB LPDDR4 RAM
• 128 GB UFS SSD w/ MicroSD expansion
• Android 13
• 20 MP rear w/ 2 MP macro camera + 8 MP front camera
• 4G dual-SIM LTE TDD FDD, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5
• USB Type-C port
• 8600 mAh battery
• Quad speakers
• 470 g, 7.6 mm thick

The most notable aspect of the deal is its large touchscreen relative to the low asking price. The MediaTek G99 is also less than a year old and it can be found on inexpensive smartphones like the Motorola Moto G72 or Xiaomi Poco M5. Though performance is most similar to lower-midrange SoCs like the Snapdragon 690, it's built on a newer 6 nm manufacturing process for higher performance-per-watt and potentially longer battery life.

Keep in mind that the brightness of 300 nits is notably dimmer than most other tablets where 500 nits or brighter is common. The NPad X is therefore mostly designed to be an indoor tablet where glare and ambient lighting can be controlled.
