I bought a ridiculously cheap Android tablet from AliExpress many years ago, and didn’t even know that Android on MIPS was a thing. Until I received the tablet in the mail and learned that it had a MIPS ISA CPU. Many apps on Google Play would not install on the device, because they were for ARM only. Things may have changed since then idk, I haven’t used Android in many years. But the experience at the time was, well... The tablet ended up in a drawer and has been sitting there since. I should add though, regardless of whether app compatibility is a problem or not still that app compatibility was not the main reason for relegating the tablet to sit in a drawer. The main reason was battery life. Not surprising given how cheap it was. And it was really slow. But those two things aren’t meant as a knock on MIPS. They obviously put in the cheapest CPU and the lowest capacity cheapest battery to make the tablet as cheap as it was. Just adding this to explain why I ended up not using the tablet for anything at all.
