Below you’ll find a comprehensive roundup of all the best budget tablets under \u00a3350\/$400. The list includes a range of options to choose from. Some people go for price, while others focus on other elements such as a great display, long tablet battery<\/a><\/u> <\/strong>life or powerful processing power, and we’ve highlighted the highlights of each element as much as possible to make your buying decision easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honor Tablet X9<\/strong>The Honor Tablet X9 features a large 11.5-inch display and a 2000 x 1200 resolution, which is enough to compete with most of the budget competition, but the addition of a 120Hz refresh rate makes it really stand out. The super-smooth refresh rate helps the tablet feel responsive, with smooth animations and better response times when playing games on the tablet. Despite being powered by a middling Snapdragon 685 chipset and 4GB of RAM, the Honor X9 can still handle everyday tasks such as browsing the web, split- screen multitasking, and even gaming at a moderate graphics level. Add to that the long <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honor X9<\/strong>  tablet battery<\/strong><\/a> life, a landscape-mounted selfie camera for video chats, and surprisingly good speakers, and it becomes an easy recommendation for any budget tablet buyer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple iPad 9<\/strong>Best Value iPad<\/strong>The iPad 9 is our cheapest Apple tablet recommendation for budget buyers. Although it didn’t impress us as much as the lighter and more powerful iPad Air 2022 when we reviewed it, it’s still the best value option if you’re 100% committed to an Apple device. While the screen doesn’t have a variable refresh rate and the bezels around it are undoubtedly thick, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better option at this price, especially if you’re an Apple fan. The 10.2-inch Retina display is the sharpest on this list, and with solid black levels and high maximum brightness, it’s perfect for watching Netflix on the go. The tablet is also solidly built and comes with a variety of case options, some of which come with keyboards, meaning it’s a good choice for older kids who need a device for schoolwork and entertainment. The A13 Bionic chip in the iPad 9 means that, according to our exhaustive testing, you won’t run into any performance issues unless you’re doing high-end video editing or vector graphics. The only downside is that, despite being cheap by Apple standards, the iPad 9 is still the most expensive option on this list, which is why we can’t recommend it for young children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lenovo Tab M10 Plus<\/strong>Best Cheap Entertainment Tablet<\/strong>The Lenovo Tab M10 Plus is a budget tablet that has a premium look and feel, with an aluminum unibody body and a stone-grained strip on one side of the back that further elevates its design status. It’s really a good-looking tablet, measuring just 7.5mm thick and with rounded edges that are comfortable to hold in the palm of your hand. The 10.61-inch 2000 x 1200 display has a 16:10 aspect ratio, which keeps black bars to a minimum when watching video content such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, and when paired with the Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers, the viewing experience is quite enjoyable. Brightness of 400nits isn’t enough for HDR playback, but it’s more than adequate for outdoor use. It’s a shame the MediaTek MT6769V chipset isn’t more powerful, with our reviewer noting that unpredictable stuttering occasionally plagued the tablet, and it’s also not powerful enough to run demanding 3D games. It does have a compatible stylus accessory, which makes it a tempting option for note-taking students, although it’ll cost you an extra \u00a345.Lenovo Tab M10 battery<\/a><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon Fire Max 11The Amazon Fire Max 11 is the latest in a series of Amazon Fire-branded tablets from the retail giant, though this one looks and feels different. With a more mature design that’s a bit reminiscent of Apple’s iPad Air, complete with rounded edges and a slightly raised single-camera bump on the back, the tablet feels a lot more premium than its price tag would suggest. The 11-inch 2000 x 1200 IPS LCD display may not have the OLED technology of more premium tablets, but it does have a fully laminated screen. That might not sound like much, but it means there’s no air gap between the front glass and the LCD panel, like there is on Apple’s cheaper iPads, eliminating that cheap, hollow feeling when you tap and swipe on the display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Amazon, the large display is designed for productivity, and it even sells a dedicated stylus and keyboard case accessory for the tablet separately, further separating it from the rest of the budget Fire range. Despite Amazon’s best efforts to position it as a productivity workhorse, the lack of pro-level apps on Amazon’s limited Fire OS and Appstore hinders it from achieving its goals. Even the built-in word processing app doesn’t properly adapt to the tablet’s display. It’s a real shame, too, because the chipset inside easily beats almost everything else in our chart, and by a wide margin. Still, it does mean it’s great for gaming and general everyday use, as long as your favorite apps and games are available on the Fire OS platform. The Amazon Fire Max 11 also has great <\/p>\n\n\n\n
