Amazon Fire HD 10 Plus is a great budget tablet, and for a reason, it’s a best seller. The 10-inch model has a faster processor than 8-inch and 7-inch Amazon tablets, which improves your productivity while using the device. You can play a bit heavier games and launch a bit havier apps, but with limitations, of course, it’s still a budget tablet, and it won’t be able to handle the heaviest apps like Lightroom, Photoshop, PUBG, etc. These apps require heavy processing power.

It has a great big screen good battery life of up to 13 hours, which allows you to watch movies with ease, TV-shows, YouTube, TikToks, and other video materials.

Good for ebook reading, comics, social media, etc.

Definitely, a huge bonus is the Alexa assistant, which allows you to search the web hands-free, set timers, set reminders, do some shopping, etc.

If you’re on a budget, there isn’t really a better option for now.

This is the latest budget tab from Samsung. It comes at a low price range, making it a perfect contender. It comes with a 10.5-inch screen with some broad bezels to rest your fingers.

The body is an aluminum build, and the back has a round camera module which gives it a very premium look. It comes in gray, silver, and pink gold colors. It’s a lightweight tablet making it very easy to carry anywhere, either in your backpack or in your handbag.

The screen of the tablet is very bright for indoor use, and the color combinations are very crisp. The overall media viewing experience becomes very good with the great speakers that provide surround sound.

Overall a great budget tablet that will handle the expected – Movies, TV, music, web, social media, ebooks, light games, video calls, etc.

The display is beautiful, the performance is decent, the full Windows experience is amazing, and I love the portable nature. You can also get the type cover that makes it a great portable laptop replacement and an amazing media machine.

Note: Microsoft has released the 3^rd generation of the Surface Go lineup, but it will be a little more expensive, taking your budget up to the $400 price mark.

Chuwi is a very well-known name in the Chinese market and specializes in producing tech products. The HiPad Pro is a successor of the HiPad Pro (2021) and is worthy of being the same.

It comes with a 10.8-inch display and has a 2K resolution and a quad stereo speaker setup, making it the best tablet for enjoying multimedia content on it. Also, the tablet’s overall design is very sleek and slim, making it very reliable to use and carry around. 

The front has a very good screen-to-body aspect ratio with not so many broad bezels and has the front camera embedded into the screen itself. Also, the back has a gradient type of color with blue in one half and grey in the other. The screen brightness is up to the mark and can be used easily in daylight conditions.
