Can this tablet make calls?

Yes, the YT3-850L model has a SIM card slot and supports both mobile data and regular phone calls.

Does AnyPen technology mean I need a special stylus?

Will Netflix and YouTube work on this device in 2026?

YouTube will work in the browser or with an older app version. For Netflix, there may be limitations due to Android 6.0 support; it is recommended to check app compatibility.
