    Decent China Tablets

    Looking for an Android tablet with aspect ratio of 4:3 and 2048x1536 resolution. I won't be using the tablet for gaming but minimum CPU should be comparable to whatever's on the HP TouchPad (dual-core Cortex A8/A9-level 1.2GHz, I believe). Primary use is for comics (dual-page landscape mode)...

However, I'd like to get a smartphone (obviously one based on Android since I'm posting here :p) but it seems most carriers require expensive monthly recurring voice/date plans if you opt to use a smartphone. I'm fine...
