Best cheap Android tablets

While high-end devices are generally the stars of the Android world, there is a growing emphasis on quality on a budget, and that’s very visible in the tablet arena. From companies that are willing to sacrifice profits …

Samsung Galaxy Tab S3

If you’re looking for a high-end Android tablet, look no further. Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S3 is one of the best tablets you can buy right now.
The Galaxy Tab S3 sports an HDR-enabled Super AMOLED display, quad speakers for stereo audio, and a battery that recharges very quickly, making this a true multimedia powerhouse. Not only that, the Tab S3 also comes with an S Pen that’s perfect for taking notes and drawing.
Oh, this thing is beautiful, too. It’s designed with Samsung’s Galaxy smartphones in mind, with glass surfaces on the front and back, complete with an all-metal frame around the edges. There’s no denying the premium aspect in play here, one that’s further accentuated by its svelte chassis and lightweight feel. All of this, of course, helps to justify its more premium price point.
The Galaxy Tab S3 is a bit pricey at around $600, but if you’re in need of a capable Android tablet, the high price point may be worth it.

Google Pixel C

Google surprised many of us at its 2015 Nexus event when it unveiled the Pixel C, an in-house built tablet that’s made for productivity. While it may be a tad overpriced, the Pixel C does a lot right. It comes with a big 10.2-inch display, a 34.2 WHr battery and 7.1 Nougat, all powered by NVIDIA’s Tegra X1 processor and 3 gigabytes of RAM. There are quite a few decent official accessories available for the tablet, too, like the official keyboard or folio keyboard.
Like we mentioned earlier, the Pixel C is overpriced for what it offers, though it’s still a great Android tablet if you have the extra money to spend.

Specs

  • 10.2-inch LTPS LCD display with 2560 x 1800 resolution, 308 ppi
  • 64-bit 1.9GHz octa-core NVIDIA Tegra X1 processor
  • 3 GB of RAM
  • 32/64 GB of on-board storage, no microSD expansion
  • 8 MP rear camera, 2 MP front camera
  • Non-removable 34.2 WHr battery

NVIDIA Shield Tablet K1

Did you love the original NVIDIA Shield Tablet? Well, you’ll probably feel just the same about the Shield Tablet K1, its direct successor. The specifications and design are pretty much the same with both tablets, aside from the addition of a rubberized surface next to the speakers and brushed metal lettering on the back of the K1.
NVIDIA also removed the stylus holder on the K1, which brings us to our next point – the stylus is gone! So are the charging cable and wall adaptor. The big news here is that NVIDIA is trying to cut costs, and they did just that by not including a stylus or charger. With that said, this tablet is now only $200, which makes it not only one of the best Android tablets out there, but also one of the most affordable.

Specs

  • 8.0-inch LCD display with 1920 x 1200 resolution, 283 ppi
  • 2.2 GHz quad-core NVIDIA Tegra K1 processor
  • 2 GB of RAM
  • 16 GB of on-board storage, microSD card expansion up to 256 GB
  • 5 MP rear camera, 5 MP front camera
  • Non-removable 19.75 WHr battery
  • Android 7.0 Nougat
  • 221 x 126 x 9.2 mm, 390 g
