Notes

A8-50F is the WiFi only model. There were also 2 similar models with 4G - A8-50L and A8-50LC. A8-50L had hardware support for 4G, but it was disabled at software level. A8-50LC only released in selected regions. It was possible to flash A8-50LC firmware onto A8-50L to bypass the artificial 4G block. A8-50L and A8-50LC were mostly compatible with eachother, A8-50F is distinct but to my knowledge, close enough together, so if A8-50F starts working, a port to A8-50L/LC could be viable.
