The annual Delhi pollution has descended in full force, which has got people invested in buying air purifiers to keep their homes clean. However, the schools are also operating online once again, which means the kids need a reliable screen to use for their virtual classes. And that’s where you can see the value of a solid, budget Android tablet, available from brands like Samsung, Xiaomi and Oppo among others.
The usual sweet spot for the consumers is below Rs 15,000 and over here, we have got not one, not two, but five options to consider this winter. Most of these devices are reliable enough to run through your hour-long classes and also handle other extra tasks if needed.
Best Android Budget Tablets To Buy For Online Classes
OPPO Pad Air
The Pad Air model lives up to its name as the tablet only weighs 440 grams, even with a bulky 7,100mAh battery under the hood. It is powered by a Snapdragon 680 chipset, paired with up to 6GB RAM and 128GB storage which is expandable further using the microSD card slot.
Oppo Pad Air has a 10.3-inch LCD display that offers 2K resolution at 2000 x 1200 pixels and 60Hz refresh rate. The colours don’t look punchy but they fit well with general usage.
Oppo has used the Snapdragon 680 chipset to power the tablet which is adequate for most computing tasks that you do daily.
Lenovo Tab M10 FHD Plus
Lenovo is another brand that is worth having on your list. The Tab M10 FHD Plus gives you a decent-sized screen, with support for 2K resolution. And yes, the device is powered by the Snapdragon 680 processor like the rest on the list, and you can pick it up with 6GB RAM. The Tab M10 FHD Plus comes loaded with a 7,700mAh battery which should be enough to last you through multiple classes.
Redmi Pad SE
Redmi Pad SE features a 11-inch display that gets 90Hz refresh rate and supports FHD+ resolution. The tablet is also powered by the Snapdragon 680 chipset with up to 8GB RAM and 128GB storage that is further expandable. The tablet is priced at Rs 12,999 for the base model.
It has an 8MP camera at the back, and a 5MP shooter on the front. It has Dolby Atmos-tuned stereo speakers and the metallic body packs an 8,000mAh battery. The overall fit and finish gives it a premium look and the performance is ideal for most people, especially if you want to take online classes for long hours.
HONOR Pad X8a
You have another Snapdragon 680-powered tablet available in the range from Honor called the Pad x8a which gets a 90Hz refresh rate display, with support for Full HD+ resolution and Android 14 out of the box. The tablet features a metal body, weighs under 500 grams and still packs a 8,300mAh battery. You can buy the X8a in the single 4GB + 128GB variant priced at Rs 12,999 in the market.
Samsung Galaxy Tab A9
And the last option we can recommend in this price range is the Galaxy Tab A9 from Samsung. If you don’t want a bigger display, the Tab A9 sports an 8.7-inch screen which makes it friendlier to use. Unlike the rest, this one uses a MediaTek Helio G99 chipset with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. You also get a smaller battery pack of 5,100mAh that supports 15W charging speed.
