Hello, do you have any 4G cellular versions of this (TCL 8" Gen 2) tablet, please?
Thanks for your question. Unfortunately we don't have the 8" model available in a cellular variant at this time. We do have a larger 10.1" model which has WiFi and 4G functionality however. This can be found under our website using the code 420320. Hope this helps! ^CO

Does this also operate with a Simcard and if so is it 5g capable
Hi there. This particular tablet cannot take a SIM card because it is a Wi-Fi-only model. We trust this helps with your query
