When we talk about Asian tablets, at first we can think of devices made in China. However, the incorporation of the Asian giant to the technological map is recent if we compare it with that of others, especially Japan and South Korea. Despite the emergence of brands from the Country of the Great Wall, other brands such as LG, Sony or Samsung, remain strong thanks to a wide catalog and a practically global presence.
To further demonstrate the strength of these and other companies, today we are going to show you a list of supports that will go from 0 to 500 euros and that will reflect that in the low cost field and in a multitude of formats, there is still a lot of battle to be done. What terminals will we see here? Will they be able to counteract the Chinese push or will they have lost some prominence? We will try to answer these questions below.
1. From 0 to 100 euros. Basic supports Made in India
The country of the Ganges is stepping on the accelerator to establish itself as another technological powerhouse. To the investments that your government is making to achieve this objective with measures such as the installation of Internet and mobile coverage throughout the territory, there is a boom that has led to the appearance of a multitude of brands, settled in many cases in the city of Bangalore . The first model that we present to you in this list of Asian tablets belongs to a company called iBall. The D7061, designed for the segment low cost and mainly for the public of their place of origin, it costs a few $65.
Its characteristics are as follows: 7 inches with a resolution of 1024 × 768 pixels, 2 Mpx rear camera with autofocus and face detector, front camera, 512MB RAM and 8 GB initial storage.

2. From 100 to 200 euros. Models designed for illustrators
Second, we show you a terminal from a Japanese brand called Wacom that specializes in supports for writers and illustrators. Although in its catalog it has products that can touch 3.000 euros, it is also possible to find others much more affordable such as Intuos 3D, on sale in the main Internet shopping portals for about 165 euros. It is not a tablet like the ones we find daily in shop windows, since, despite having a multi-touch screen of just over 10 inches, it is essentially designed to draw on it thanks to the stylus it incorporates. It has a WiFi and USB connection and is compatible with computers running iOS and Windows.
3. From 200 to 300 euros. Asian tablets from the largest
As we said at the beginning, the largest companies have an offer, in theory wide, that can help to settle them in segments in which Chinese brands have made a strong breakthrough, although with nuances. Third, we show you the X. This model enters the list for its price, of about $226, reconditioned, in the main e-commerce portals but with lights and shadows alike. Its biggest drawback is its trajectory in the market, of just over two years. However, its creators have supported the incorporation of more current operating systems and it is now equipped with Marshmallow.
Designed for him entertainment, its most outstanding features are these: 10,1 inches with a resolution of 1920 × 1200 pixels, rear and front cameras of 8 and 2,2 Mpx that allow recording in FHD, a 3 GB RAM accompanied by an initial storage of 16 and a processor manufactured by Qualcomm that reaches, in theory, a maximum of 2,3 Ghz.
4. From 300 to 400 euros. Nintendo switch
Nintendo has emerged with force thanks to its bet for gamers. Launched at the beginning of this year, the company's sales forecasts seem to have been small with this device that can be used as a console and a tablet interchangeably. Depending on the place of purchase and the accessories that are added, it is available for a range that goes from 300 to 340 euros approximately. Some of its specifications are these: 6,2 inches with a resolution of 1280 × 720 pixels, initial storage capacity of 32 GB that however, can be expanded up to 2 TB and USB Type-C connections that allow it to be connected to other media to enhance the gaming experience. Its biggest drawback is the catalog of titles, still somewhat reduced.
5. From 400 to 500 euros. Galaxy Tab S2 9.0
A few days ago we showed you a list of Samsung terminals of all price ranges. In it, we find this model that, for a few 400 euros, is firmly committed to image and leisure thanks to features such as these: Diagonal de 9,7 inches, although there are other larger versions, resolution 2K, initial storage of 32 GB expandable to 128 and 3 GB RAM.Android Lollipop It is its operating system, although it can be updated and in the performance section we find a processor with an average frequency of 1,9 Ghz that offers fluidity both for the execution of heavier games and for Internet browsing. In this last section, it is worth highlighting its support for 2G, 3G, 4G and WiFi. It also seeks to be an option to consider for professionals thanks to the mode multitask.
