Avoid MediaTek because of pretty much no community (XDA Developers) support at all, so no custom ROMs to keep your device up to date. Many of those ROMs are much better than stock is, so yeah. And with stock firmware on any cheap tablet you're 99.99% guaranteed to receive MAYBE one official update, almost always just some random security release or so.

There's also one other important thing and that is NAND speed - expect VERY slow loading times on cheap(er) tablets because of (s)low read/write/4K speeds. I had a cheap Lenovo tablet, 8", very decent by all means, but almost one full minute to just load a track/race in RR3 was way too much to endure, honestly.

Then, few weeks ago, I bought a brand new iPad 2018, 9.7", 128 GB WiFi-only model. It's quite cheap but it's extremely fast and superior to basically any other non-iPad Pro tablet out there. 32 GB model is even cheaper (ldo) and 32 GB is plenty for almost anyone. I got that one initially but returned it to get 128 GB because I really like that thing and it's great for everything, not just gaming. Actually I like it to that point that I'm thinking to ditch smartphones completely and turn to dummy phone + iPad 😁 So that's my recommendation to you if tablets are also an option for you.

If not, just get the OnePlus 6 if you can afford it (Starting at 520€). Awesome phone, awesome official support with frequent updates, current top level specs, great screen... I got its predecessor, 1+5 (not 1+5T, just 1+5) and I'm happy with everything.

Weren't we supposed to ditch that aspect ratio when CRT tubes were taken off the market?? I prefer wide screen aspect in RR3, because I like seeing more of the track around a corner, more than I care about looking at the sky. With 4:3, in horizontal space, you see exactly the same as with 16:9. But you see much more in vertical space. So, you see more with 4:3 and not with 16:9. It took me some time to get used to it after getting my iPad. That said, I would really, really, really, really like to be able to adjust FOV in RR3, damn. 120° would be sweet. Btw, 4:3 is much better for reading and surfing (actually for productivity in general) but it sucks for videos (black bars on top and bottom) 😁 Ok, finally found this conversation. Concerning what you see 16:9 Vs 4:3, here are two screenshots. Same car, same event, stopped at the starting line. It's obvious which is which.
