[Android Central Question]

Buying cheap tablet (just for games & photos really) and it has Android 8 installed. Will I be able to update to Android 9?

Welcome to Android Central! Which tablet? Since you say it's cheap, it's 99.99% likely that you can't -- cheap devices are lucky to get even one security update.

As a general rule, any such update needs to come from the manufacturer.
As a general rule, high-end tablets may get an update.
As a general rule, low-end tablets do not get updated.

Which tablet are you looking to buy?
