Given that the tablet looks to be aimed mainly at emerging markets, we won’t be too harsh on its specifications or design. But it’s still strange to see HTC — creators of the first Android phone and a firm Google once entrusted to produce a Nexus-branded tablet (the Nexus 9) — producing such forgettable devices. The A101 even ships with 2020’s Android 11, rather than Android 12 or the big-screen-focused Android 12L.
