The Android version isn't a problem for me. I'm posting with an Amazon

    Bummer! So you don't have a real excuse to buy new toys, because the
'old' ones still work and refuse to die. What did you do to deserve such
hardship!?

I have two identical tablets. One fell from the bed, the screen cracked, doesn't read the finger, so I bought another tablet. Then I tried to have the first one repaired; the shop said they could not, but that I would be able to use the tablet with a mouse (over BT). So I did. I use that old tablet in the sitting room to cast Amazon Prime videos to the Google dongle on my TV set (which is not smart).
If I forget to activate the casting, the tablet tries to play the video in its screen, but it doesn't have enough power and it stutters badly.
