A guide to the top budget tablets of 2019
Budget tablets are always in demand as they are inexpensive and have some quality features. Most of these tablets are priced under $300, and some are available for less than $100. If you’re planning to buy a tablet on a budget, you can check out the top tablets in this segment:
- Apple iPad
This budget tablet provides the best value for money. Its performance is similar to that of the iPhone7. It comes with iOS 12, A9 processor, Retina Display, and HD cameras. The screen measures 9.7 inches. Users get 2GB Ram, 2048×1536 resolution, 10-hour battery life, 8MP rear camera, and 1.2MP front camera. The only drawbacks of this top tablet are that it is thicker than the previous models and its accessories could be costly. - Amazon Fire HD 8 Tablet
It is one of the top tablets in the budget segment. It is not perfect by any stretch, but it could be one of the best devices you can get for the price. Priced at under $100, it is quite cheap and has a sturdy design. It offers an 8-inch HD screen and a 1.3GHz quad-core processor with 1.5GB RAM. Its modest size and weight give it a solid advantage in terms of portability. It works well as a basic tablet, but lacks screen sharpness and has sub-par cameras. - Lenovo Tab 4 8
It is a premium mini tablet which has decent performance and quality design for a low cost. Tab 4 8 is a solid all-rounder with decent screen size, solid battery life, and comfortable design. Its negatives are that users may not get Android Oreo, and the tablet gets scratched quickly. - Samsung Galaxy Tab S2
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 comes with an 8-inch screen. This top tablet in the budget category has a potent mixture of a high-resolution screen and speedy performance with the addition of good battery life. When it was introduced, it was said to be a serious competitor to Apple’s iPad, and the claim still stands. This tablet features polished exteriors and a fairly competent set of specifications. It may seem a little behind in terms of design and has smaller onboard storage which may be restrictive for some buyers. - Amazon Fire 7
This top tablet has a sturdy design and is amazingly cheap. It is also sold in multi-packs. The super-affordable Fire tablet is best suited to first-time tablet owners. It is also perfect for parents who are looking for a device with strong parental controls. Some people also use it as a spare or backup tablet. Poor selection of apps and a washed out screen seem to be the only issues that could dissuade buyers. - Asus ZenPad S 8.0
This tablet has a low price and comes with a superb high-resolution screen. It is focused on providing the user with a value for money experience. It looks quite good, has a sturdy built, and handy features like a micro SD slot and 10-hour battery life. Too many preinstalled applications and an average camera are a couple of negatives of this device.
