The G-Tab T8S 64GB 4GB is now available at Mascom International for KSh 9,000, in stock at our Old Mutual Building store on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. This 8-inch Android 14 tablet runs a UNISOC T310 quad-core processor at up to 2.0GHz, pairs 4GB built-in RAM with up to 4GB extended RAM, and holds 64GB of internal storage. A 5000mAh battery and a 1280×800 HD IPS screen round out the package. The G-Tab T8S charges over USB Type-C and connects through Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, making it a practical entry tablet for Kenyan households shopping on a tight budget.
Mascom International stocks the G-Tab T8S for students, young children, and families who need an affordable second screen without paying full smartphone prices. University students at Kenyatta University, JKUAT, and USIU use it for reading PDFs, joining Zoom classes, and watching lecture recordings. Parents buy it as a first tablet for kids, loading learning apps and cartoons while keeping their own phones free. Small traders use it for stock records and WhatsApp catalogues. The problem most budget tablets create is cramped memory and sluggish storage; the G-Tab T8S answers that with expandable RAM and a full 64GB.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya who push unbranded tablets with no warranty backing, Mascom International sells the G-Tab T8S with a clear 12-month warranty and honest specifications. Buyers across Nairobi report that the light 8-inch body slips easily into a handbag or backpack for the daily matatu commute, and that the 5000mAh battery comfortably clears a school day of video and browsing. At KSh 9,000, the G-Tab T8S undercuts most 8-inch Samsung and Lenovo tablets while running the same Android 14 software. Visit our Nairobi CBD store to handle the tablet before you buy, or order for pay-on-arrival delivery countrywide.
Common Questions About the G-Tab T8S
Is the G-Tab T8S good for students in Kenya?
Yes. The G-Tab T8S suits students who mainly read, take notes, and attend online classes. Its 8-inch 1280×800 HD screen shows PDFs, e-books, and Google Classroom material clearly, while Android 14 runs Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet. The 64GB storage holds course notes, past papers, and offline videos without filling up quickly. Battery life covers a full study day. For students at University of Nairobi, Strathmore, or Daystar wanting an affordable study screen, it handles the essentials well.
What can the G-Tab T8S do with 4GB of RAM?
The G-Tab T8S handles everyday tasks: web browsing, YouTube, WhatsApp, social apps, e-books, and light gaming. The 4GB built-in RAM combines with up to 4GB extended RAM, borrowing storage space to keep more apps open at once. This reduces the reloading you get on 2GB tablets when switching between a browser and a chat app. It will not run heavy 3D games or dozens of background apps at speed, but for reading, streaming, and communication it stays responsive throughout the day.
Does the G-Tab T8S support a SIM card or only Wi-Fi?
The G-Tab T8S is a Wi-Fi-only tablet. It does not accept a SIM card or connect to Safaricom, Airtel, or Telkom mobile data directly.To get online, connect it to home Wi-Fi, an office router, a MiFi device, or your phone's hotspot. This keeps the price low and suits users who already have Wi-Fi or a data-sharing phone at home.
How long does the G-Tab T8S battery last?
The 5000mAh battery in the G-Tab T8S lasts a typical school or work day of mixed use. Expect roughly 6 to 8 hours of active browsing, video, and reading on a single charge, and several days on standby with light use. It charges over the standard USB Type-C cable included in the box. For students watching lectures or children on learning apps, the battery comfortably covers a day away from a socket, then recharges overnight for the next morning.
Is the G-Tab T8S suitable as a kids' tablet?
Yes. Many Kenyan parents buy the G-Tab T8S as a first tablet for children. The included silicone case adds grip and drop protection for small hands, and the 8-inch size is easy for kids to hold. Parents load learning apps, cartoons, and offline videos, then use Android's built-in parental controls and Google Family Link to limit screen time and content. Because it is Wi-Fi only, children stay on your home network rather than running up mobile data bills.
What is included in the G-Tab T8S box?
The G-Tab T8S retail box includes the tablet, a silicone protective case, a USB Type-C charging cable, a power adapter, a screen protector, and the user manual with warranty documentation. This is a fuller package than many budget tablets, which often ship without a case or charger. Mascom International confirms box contents per unit before dispatch, so you know exactly what arrives. Available colours are Blue, Grey, and Purple, subject to current stock at our Nairobi CBD store.
Can I expand the G-Tab T8S storage?
The G-Tab T8S offers 64GB of internal storage as standard, enough for a wide library of apps, documents, photos, and offline videos. Its memory is expandable too: 4GB built-in plus up to 4GB borrowed from storage for smoother multitasking. Most 8-inch tablets in this class also accept a microSD card for extra space.For most students and children, the 64GB base already covers a full year of schoolwork and entertainment.
How does the G-Tab T8S compare to a cheap Samsung or Lenovo tablet?
The G-Tab T8S trades some polish for price. A Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 or Lenovo Tab M8 offers stronger brand support and slightly better screens, but both cost noticeably more than KSh 9,000. The G-Tab T8S matches them on Android 14, 64GB storage, and a 5000mAh battery, while adding a free case and screen protector in the box. For buyers who want a working, warranty-backed tablet for reading, streaming, and classes rather than a brand badge, it covers the core essentials for less money.
Is KSh 9,000 a fair price for the G-Tab T8S in Kenya?
At KSh 9,000, the G-Tab T8S is one of the more affordable branded 8-inch Android 14 tablets on the Kenyan market. Comparable Wi-Fi tablets from bigger brands typically start higher, and unbranded alternatives often skip warranty and after-sales support entirely. Mascom International backs the G-Tab T8S with a 12-month warranty and a physical Nairobi CBD store you can visit. For a first tablet, a study device, or a kids' screen, the price fairly matches what you get in hardware and support.
