Looking for an Android Marshmallow tablet with LTE that won’t break the bank? Alcatel may just have the perfect option for you.

The new 7-inch POP 7 LTE tablet was built for T-Mobile, and packs a 1,024 x 600 pixel display. That’s not the best part though — the best part is that it comes at a tiny $130.

Apart from the display, the device features a 1.1GHz Qualcomm quad-core Snapdragon processor, along with 1GB of RAM, 8GB of storage, and a Micro SD card slot, so you can expand the storage if you need to. The device launches with Android 6.0 Marshmallow, which makes it one of the few tablets to include the latest version of Android, especially at this price. Also included are a 5MP rear-facing and a 2MP front-facing camera.

As mentioned, the best thing about this tablet is the price, sitting at only $130. Or, if you want to break that down even more you can pay a tiny $0 down and $5.42 per month for 24 months. Easy!

It seems as though the device was released as a replacement to the Alcatel OneTouch Pixi 7, and as a 7-inch tablet, it’s a little more portable than the 10-inch devices out there, making it perfect for someone who wants to use it while traveling.

It’s likely that we’ll see more low-price tablets being released in the near future — many components used in these devices might be a few years old, but that doesn’t make them incapable. Not only that, but the demand for tablets has been in decline over the past few years, and tablet makers are looking to find new markets to sell devices to.

If you’re interested in getting the device for yourself, you can head to the T-Mobile online store, or go buy it at a brick-and-mortar T-Mobile store.

How to find your phone number on iPhone or Android

Rebtel Calling

If you're here, you've likely just had this experience; needing to enter your digits for an account of some sort, you realize you don't remember your own phone number. As you don’t call your own phone number very often, this isn't an extremely uncommon scenario. And it gets even worse if you frequently use a second phone number alongside your main one. It's still embarrassing enough, however, to not want to ask your partner or buddy, "Hey, what's my phone number?"

Luckily, the ability to locate phone number data comes directly on your phone, so checking your friend's address book won't be necessary. Whether you’re using an iOS or Android device, you can quickly locate your own number — as well as your IMEI number — on your phone if you know where to look. Just grab your phone, find the appropriate section below, and we'll show you how to do it.

I can’t wait for Nothing to launch this stunning phone

Nothing Community Edition Project winner.

Say what you will about Nothing, but this brand certainly has a taste for flashy design. After all, how many phones out there light up and sync to the beat of music? But the company's latest smartphone endeavor could just be its best yet.

In March, Nothing introduced its Community Edition Project. The goal was to take ideas from its fans for hardware design, with the Nothing Phone 2a serving as the foundation. The company also has similar plans for wallpaper, packaging, and marketing shenanigans. Today, Nothing announced its winning entry for the phone design, and it’s a stunner.

As much as we love having the best smartphones in our pockets, there are times when those small screens don't cut it and we just need a larger display. That's when you turn to a tablet, which is great for being productive on the go and can be a awesome way to unwind and relax too. While the tablet market really took off after the iPad, it has grown to be quite diverse with a huge variety of products — from great budget options to powerhouses for professionals.

We've tried out a lot of tablets here at Digital Trends, from the workhorses for pros to tablets that are made for kids and even seniors -- there's a tablet for every person and every budget. For most people, though, we think Apple's iPad Air is the best overall tablet — especially if you're already invested in the Apple ecosystem. But if you're not an Apple user, that's fine too; there are plenty of other great options that you'll find in this roundup.
