And, we're here to guide you to that perfect budget-friendly tablet.  We've used plenty of tablets and reviewed even more.

That feature proves especially useful for outdoor use, where you might be faced with bright sunlight. There's also the new and handy Center Stage feature when taking video calls which means the camera keeps you in frame at all times. We found this made a big difference.

This includes a 10.1-inch display with a 1920 x 1200 resolution which we found made watching films or videos while on the move look pretty good - and with decent stereo speakers it sounds good too. Battery life is about 12 hours, so you won't have to worry about finding a power source too often either. Elsewhere, you've got a choice of 32GB or 64GB of storage depending on your budget, plus you can go for wireless charging too for added convenience, and its lightweight build means it's ideal for extended use.

Beyond that, it's much the same as its cheaper sibling. But that in itself makes it faster than the previous generation of the Amazon Fire HD 8, as well as giving you much more storage to play with. The Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus still isn't the fastest of slates in our tests, but it holds its own for what it costs, and if you want a tablet and smart display all in one it's a top choice – though for just the tablet part you might want to consider the standard Fire HD 8 (2020) instead.

There's no wireless charging but nor would you really expect it from such an inexpensive tablet. Given how cheap this slate actually is though, it still delivers lots for your money, including good battery life, so you can have a movie marathon wherever you are, without needing to charge it up halfway through. This isn't one for power users, but nor would we expect it to be.

However, you might want to think twice about upgrading from the previous model. Other highlights of the Amazon Fire HD 8 (2020) include a 3.5mm headphone port and a cleverly positioned front camera – which is at the top when you hold the slate in landscape, as you likely will during video calls.

With Google's Android operating system providing plenty of flexibility, coupled with a large HD display, the Tab A 10.5 is great for movies and web browsing. It also benefits from long battery life in our experience, so you can indulge in a movie marathon. It's not the most powerful slate around and we found its size makes it slightly less portable than some, and overall we'd give Apple's cheapest iPad the edge, but for media and basic app use around the house this is a strong choice.

That's a compromise you'll have to make if you're wanting Amazon's latest super-cheap device, as it won't grace your eyes with a stunning display or slick performance. However, we found there was enough power under the hood to get you through basic tasks, like streaming content or shopping. We also found in our review that it was great as a Kindle device, if you want your Kindle to also come with Alexa and the internet and the best books of all - movies.

One thing we were disappointed with is the battery life, as even cheap tablets often last a long time, which this one doesn't. But, it's hard to be too mad when this costs so little.

Read the full review: Amazon Fire 7 (2019) How to choose the best cheap tablet for you There are always compromises on cheaper products, so in choosing one of the best cheap tablets it's important to identify where the corners have been cut, and whether those things matter to you. Equally, if anything in particular is very important to you, be it the battery, screen or anything else, make sure that the tablet you're considering performs well there. There are also variables that apply no matter how much you're spending.

For example, you might want something relatively small, light and portable, such as an 8-inch screen and a weight of under 400g. Or maybe you want a big, immersive 10-inch display.

Operating systems are worth considering too, with the options typically including Apple's iPadOS, Android, and Amazon's Fire OS. You're not going to get a master of all trades at a low price, but it's very possible to find the balance you need. What is the cheapest good quality tablet All of the tablets above are cheap and good quality, but for one of the very cheapest options consider the Amazon Fire 7 (2019) or the Amazon Fire HD 8 (2020).

How we test cheap tablets We only include tablets that we've fully reviewed in this best cheap tablets guide. That means that we've used every entry extensively and delivered a final verdict on them. That process includes testing every key feature and using them as our main tablet, just like a typical buyer would.

This allows us to easily rank and compare different tablets, factoring in their specs, performance, price, value, age, screen quality, battery life, and any other factor worth considering. With that information we know exactly which ones to include and which to exclude, and whenever a new cheap tablet is released, we'll compare it to the other entries in this list before deciding if or where it should be placed.Round up of today's best dealsReduced Price (opens in new tab)Apple iPad 10.2 (2021) (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab)$329 (opens in new tab)$299 (opens in new tab)View (opens in new tab)See all pricesReduced Price (opens in new tab)Amazon Fire HD 10 Plus (2021) (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab)$179.99 (opens in new tab)$104.99 (opens in new tab)View (opens in new tab)See all pricesDeal ends Thu, Oct 13Low StockReduced Price (opens in new tab)Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab)$109.99 (opens in new tab)$54.99 (opens in new tab)View (opens in new tab)See all pricesReduced Price (opens in new tab)Amazon Fire HD 10 (2021) (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab)$149.99 (opens in new tab)$74.99 (opens in new tab)View (opens in new tab)See all pricesReduced Price (opens in new tab)Amazon Fire HD 8 (2020) (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab)$89.99 (opens in new tab)$44.99 (opens in new tab)View (opens in new tab)See all pricesReduced Price (opens in new tab)Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.5 (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab)$371.11 (opens in new tab)$224.99 (opens in new tab)View (opens in new tab)See all prices (opens in new tab)Amazon Fire 7 (2019) (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab)$49.99 (opens in new tab)View (opens in new tab)See all pricesWe check over 250 million products every day for the best pricespowered by James RogersonJames is a freelance phones, tablets and wearables writer and sub-editor at TechRadar.
