The Lifetab S10346 is a 10-inch tablet built by Medion in partnership with German supermarket chain Aldi. Priced at £149.99 and packing basic specs, it’s aimed firmly at the low end of the tablet market. In this way it s much like the critically acclaimed Tesco hudl 2, winner of Best Value Tablet in the TrustedReviews Awards 2014. However, it provides nowhere near as positive an experience as its supermarket rival’s offering. Performance is sluggish, the camera app is faulty and there are also serious issues with the screen. We recommend forking out a little extra for the same-sized…
Tragically out of date, this tablet had issues from the get-go which modern tablets have mostly addressed. It s got no camera s, has only 480p video output, it s browser is hardly capable of properly putting up websites (especially web 2.0), it crashes incessantly, is quite sluggish even to move from screen to screen (this may be in part due to updates it could only partly keep up with) and is not compatible with most modern apps. That said, it can still do basic web searches and display webpages that aren t overly complicated. It s old YouTube app (which you can t delete) no…
USB wall charging flat plate review With a daily need for charging, smartphones and tablets end up causing more USB and Lightning cable mess than old-fashioned rotary dial phones with their curly cords. Wall power sockets in every room of the house are being taken over with plugs for USB charging cables, meaning you need to disconnect the kettle just to charge with your iPhone or Android. Or you go to plug your charge cable in to a plug and find someone else in the house just started charging their device – leading to a very modern-day ethical dilemma. The answer could be this…
HP seems to be focusing on the voice-calling tablet market with its VoiceTab line of products. We saw the launch of HP s previous range in this category early last year, and the HP Slate6 VoiceTab (Review | Pictures) didn t receive a favourable opinion from us. Moving forward, HP s newest voice-calling Android tablet, the HP 7 VoiceTab, is a 7-inch tablet as its name suggests. You won t need to break a bank to purchase one since it costs less than Rs. 10, . Here s hoping that HP has learnt a thing or two from its previous mistakes. Look and feel The HP 7 VoiceTab looks and feels…
The Ematic Genesis Prime Android 4.1 tablet comes in your choice of colors for $79.99. Ematic Dirt-cheap tablets have been around for years, but most of them have proven disappointing. Spend less than $100 and you re almost certain to get stuck with a resistive touch screen (one that requires pressure to recognize a tap or swipe), a pokey processor, an outdated version of Android, or a seriously limited app store. Maybe several of the above. What does 80 bucks buy you versus, say, a $200 Nexus 7? As you might expect, the Genesis Prime offers decidedly entry-level hardware, including…
Polaroid seems to be trying to start a tablet of the month club. The reason I say that is they keep releasing new tablets, all of them cheap and all of them launched with little fanfare. The PMID702C, which I found last weekend at BigLots for $90, is no exception to the quip. It s another sub-$100 7 Android tablet, and like its predecessor the PMID701i it s running the latest version of Android on a 1GHz CPU. But unlike its predecessors, this tablet also comes with a VGA webcam in addition to the graphics chip, g-sensor, 4GB Flash storage, microSD card slot, Wifi, capacitive…

You don t need to spend a fortune to get a good Android tablet any more. You ll always have the high-end, the high asking prices and the people who are willing to pay for them. But for many, just getting good hardware, a great experience and not emptying your wallet is the most important set of factors in buying a tablet. The Android tablet space has exploded in recent years and there are now some great choices to be made around the $200 price point and below. Here we ve rounded up some of the best choices you can make. Pros Powerful internals Near stock software Great for gamers…
Really good tablet. Of course, it can t match the overall quality of a device like the Nexus 7 or the iPad air. But from a relatively obscure brand this really is one of the best overall products you can get. Coupled with the price, I really would recommend this tablet for a family or for children who may break the device, so a more expensive tablet might not be the best decision to make. Firstly the speed is very good, I ve found it s the main strong point of the tablet. Browsing the web is very smooth and clean, as is switching between apps. I have found that the operating…
This time around, the Apple iPad rumor mill was mostly right on. With the Apple s third-generation tablet, we got a super-high-res 2, 048-by-1, 536-pixel Retina Display powered by a beefed-up A5X CPU, a better camera, and fast 4G LTE on AT&T or Verizon. This all brings up the eternal tablet question again: iPad or Android? Though the battle might seem a bit lopsided, we felt it was important to compare Apple s latest tablet with the best Android tablets available right now . A slew of promising quad-core Android slates like the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 and the Toshiba…
Google’s Pixel C Android tablet is the company’s first own-brand slate, designed in its Mountain View HQ. Photograph: Samuel Gibbs for the Guardian Android-maker’s first own-brand tablet is a sleek, powerful, aluminium-clad slate with only a few shortcomings, but could it really be a workhorse? The Pixel C is Google’s first own-brand tablet, designed and made via China by Google and is the best Android tablet available at the moment. The Pixel C joins the Chromebook Pixel - the first piece of hardware designed solely by Google - but instead of running Chrome OS the Pixel C runs…
Tablets are like vinyl records and Tupac, people either think they re dead or alive. The lukewarm feeling for tablets is evident in consistently declining sales. This has resulted in manufacturers significantly slowing down their production; in 2014 and 2015 Samsung released a new Android tablet every couple of months, and we ve yet to see one in 2016. Similarly, we haven t seen Asus release an Android-based Transformer Pad since 2013. Remember when everyone thought the tablet was going to replace the laptop? So far they ve failed to live up to that expectation. I d like to…
Out with the old and in with the new,if you re looking for a device with good performance at an affordable price. However, in with the old might be your best game plan if you re looking to save money while picking up a new tablet. When new and upgraded gadgets are released, they re usually followed shortly by price cuts for older models. Most of the tablets on this list have already seen price reductions in anticipation of their replacements and offer a bargain to those looking for tablets with solid performance. A big, cheap tablet.
