SkillfulSpence Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I made a similar list last year, and I have done the same again this year, but i've broken them down into the different prices as shown because ultimately this is probably the most important thing for most of us! Spot any errors? Let me know and i ll fix. You can also see the same list of compatible tablets for FM Touch 2016 on my website, which is where I also published last years list too and it was very useful to lots of people. Would be cool to expand this if anyone can share there experience with each compatible tablet? Cheaper Range (for under £200) Acer Iconia Tab 8 A1-840FHD £96.11 (used price) Asus Memo Pad 8 ME581CL £116.00 Asus ZenPad S 8.0 Z580C £169.99 Lenovo Tab 2 A10-70 £171.75 Lenovo Tab S8 £129.99 Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 10.1 £179.95 Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 8.0£129.99 Mid Price Range Tablets (£200 – £400) Acer Iconia Tab 10 A3-A30 £209.99 LG G Pad 8.3 £227.49 Nokia N1 £235.00 Nvidia Shield £250.00 Nvidia Shield LTE £370.00 Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) £319.99 Lenovo Yoga Tablet 10 HD+ £289.00 Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro £399.99 HP Slate 17 £395.96 Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 £344.99 Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 £289.99 Sony Xperia Tablet Z LTE £369.99 Sony Xperia Tablet Z Wi-Fi £483.35 new, but much more affordable used (under £200) as its an older tablet Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact £356.53 Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 £248.39 Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 LTE £369.99 High Price Range Tablets (If you have the money to burn) HTC Nexus 9 £599.99 HP Pro Slate 12 £530.00 HP Pro Slate 10 EE G1 £447.54 Asus Transformer Pad TF303CL £462.29 Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 £554.99 Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 LTE £499.99 Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 £554.99 Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 LTE £594.99 Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 £554.99 Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 LTE £429.00 Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 £577.16 Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet LTE £413.99 Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet Wi-Fi £438.99 Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet LTE £579.99 Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet WiFi £501.63 Requires Confirmation NVIDIA SHIELD K1 £149.98 (this is a very high spec tablet (4K resolution + better performance for cheaper than previous models)) this is a bargain price, and if we can confirm that this is able to play FM Touch 16 then it would be very good to know. So please can someone confirm they have played this with an image as proof and tell us about performance etc. From a Mod in replies below "Re the NVIDIA SHIELD K1 - we don't have one in-house so I can't 100% confirm its compatibility, but I believe hardware wise it is similar to the original Nvidia Shield ."

rich10 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I'm always bangin on about the Nvidia Shield tab on these forums but it's been re-released here for £149. It's just a STEAL. Worth noting that in order to achieve this new low price point they've had to remove both the charger & the stylus from the tablet - a shame but no dramas really.

Please answer only if you are 100% sure otherwise I'll have to find you to get my 200€ back... Im pretty sure it wouldnt work. The way i understand it, is that its a device only thing, rather than a spec thing. They have to tweak the game one device at a time in order for it to work and be compatible with said device. So if its not on the list then its not compatible.. but dont take my word on this. Would be good to have confirmation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich10 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Indeed, we need someone who has bought both the K1 and FMT16 to be 100%.

I'll eat my raumdeuter if it doesn't run on it. It certainly should. The K1 is significantly more powerful than most of the tablets on the list, and can be bought for as little as £135 via cashback sites like Quidco / TCB then on to BT shop. Incidentally, the link in the OP is probably the wrong one for the Nvidia Shield Tab as it goes through to the 5" one with the built in controller.

lordlovebucket Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Just a heads up that Quidco are offering 10% cashback on Currys this weekend which would bring the high end Galaxy S2 8" tablet down to just under £200. Having been to try them all out, this seemed to be the best option for me in terms of portability (it's incredibly light), screen (HD Amoled) and power (3gb ram, meaty processor). Nvidia Shield is excellent for the price (£135 if you shop around) but much heavier than the Samsung. Ideal for sofa/bed gaming I'd say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That say we may try our luck even some devices not on lists? well i would just test it on an adroid tablet as usually there is that refund option if the thing does not work well. i'm quite happy with it so far. i do not have much time to play the game on the desktop/laptop, so this version works well so far. has its nibbles here and there, but for the price, its decent. but i think by FMT 2017, I would probably need to get a better tablet.

right_winger Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I might start looking for a tablet soon to play FMT on my commute. Not good at this as never needed a tablet so would be appreciated if someone could briefly advice: 1) is 10" screen enough to play comfortably without tiring eyes quickly and see everything you need to see in the game (on the pitch as well as in menus)? 2) how much RAM and hard drive space is enough to play longer careers without major issues? 3) how those under 200 quid tablets cope with the game generally? and how likely are they to cope decently with FMT17 (question for SI people I guess)? 4) is it possible to switch between the game and other apps or websites etc?

lordlovebucket Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Ended up getting a Galaxy S2 when it worked out at just under £200. Samsung are doing £50 cashback on them at the moment but as the retail price has gone up to £299 it doesn't work out so well. However, if anyone can hang on until after Xmas then I'd expect a few good S2 deals which might work out very well with £50 cashback if you buy before 31st Dec. Best bang for the buck is probably the Shield K1 going via Quidco to the BT shop for 10% extra cashback. So go to http://www.quidco.com/bt-shop then use the link there to the BT shop who are selling it for £150. Total cost £135(ish) after the cashback.
