    Does anyone know a good Android Tablet that can run the game efficiently and is relatively inexpensive.
    What kind of specs should I be looking for?

    I'll be honest; the Android tablet market is pretty poor right now. It's either ultra-cheap throwaway devices with MediaTek SoCs that are more designed for kids to have so they don't break their parent's one watching Netflix, or a high-end one like the Galaxy Tab series that tries to go head-to-head with Apple.

    If you're willing to go second-hand, you could look for an NVIDIA SHIELD K1 (although battery life is pretty poor) or a Nexus 7 (but performance would be poor) - other than that, the best midsized gaming tablet for the money is probably an iPad Mini.

    Thank you. This raises a question though, can I transfer my Google play account to an apple device? I imagine it would require linking my Google play account to a Facebook account and use that to load my profile on the ipad.

    I was thinking of the Lenovo Tab 4 Plus 64gb 10 inch. But I am not sure if they will update it to Android 8, like they done with the 8 inch. I hope so.

    Seems to be a good tablet anyhow, with hardly any bloatware.

    Regards,

    I ended up getting the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8"
    So far it is working pretty well.
    It has Android 7.1.1 2GB of memory and only costs about $200

    Hey Josh,

    That is good news! I overlooked that particular model, because I thought it was not up to specs for Battle Bay. But I guess I was wrong, maybe I should look at it too. Although I want a 10". But I wait until I will be able to play again, but that might take a while sadly.

    Enjoy your new tablet!

    Regards,
    Flint
