    cases may be slightly different ie. Extra space for sim card slot and extra speaker hole etc.

    Anyone know if the Tab 2 A8 is much of an upgrade on this one, €110 down from €180.
    Specs look the same apart from the slightly better processor.

    I think its the exact same tablet, argos added in a new listing with reduced offer. That way they can remove it and leave in the original listing

    sorry they do have different specs, 4.2 vs 5 operating system

    Yeah just seen that, only two differences i can see is the MT8121 processor and 4.2 on the Tab compared to the MT8161 and 5 on the Tab 2.
