I’ve got an old Lenovo Tab3 850M table, running Android 6.0.1

It’s pretty vanilla and I haven’t installed any custom ROMs or rooted the device. The battery is in pretty good condition and the table can idle for around a week I think.

It has an 8 inch IPS display, Quad-Core 1.0GHz ARM Cortex-A53 CPU, ARM Mali-T720 MP2, 500 MHz, 4-Cores GPU, 2GB of RAM, and 16GB internal storage. The cameras are pretty terrible (even for 2016 standards), and the battery is 4300mAh.

What useful things can I do with it?

    I’ve recently hooked my old tab s up to my 3d printer to have a nice touch screen instead of the 128px lcd with rotary knob.

      How? I’ve been looking into this but there are lots of apps and I’m not sure where to start

      Interesting use. Unfortunately I haven’t found any usage like that. Maybe a home automation system and an Arduino interface?

        Using them for a Home Assistant interface is a pretty popular use.
