We still have many tablets to discover throughout the year, which has only just begun, but if we are looking to save as much as possible, new models are rarely the solution, so the review that we leave you to the best tablets of 2018 in relation to quality / price It will be in effect for a long time. We leave you a selection with options for all OS and ranges of Prices.
Fire 7: $70
If we are looking for a tablet as cheap as possible, we must never lose sight of the Fire 7, a solid option and that we know that we will have insurance at any time for 70 euros, apart from the fact that on special occasions (Amazon Prime Day and similar), we will be able to buy it even cheaper. Its technical specifications (1024 x 600 resolution, Mediatek processor, 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of storage), are modest, but they are what we will find in all of this price range and at least this guarantees us a smooth operation. . And if you have objections to Fire OS, we remind you that it is possible install without root Google Play y Nova and other launchers so that the user experience is the most similar to that of a conventional Android tablet.
MediaPad T3 7: between 80 and 100 euros
Another cheap tablet that you should never lose sight of, with the only drawback that the official price of this is higher (100 euros) and probably, if you do not find it reduced, it is not worth it so much. The good news is that it is common to see it on sale on Amazon and on occasion it has even been below 80 euros, so check it out before deciding. It is not very different in technical specifications to the Amazon tablet, but it can compensate you to pay a little more to get it to enjoy the experience of using it. Android without having to fiddle and his metal casing.
FireHD8: 110 euros
If you can afford to invest a little more than the minimum, our recommendation is that you take into account the Fire HD 8 since for 110 euros he is going to leave us a few improvements compared to the previous models that are worth paying a little more: the screen is a little wider and, above all, it is already HD, it has a little more RAM (which will be appreciated to use several apps at the same time with some fluency ) and offers us double the storage capacity. And, of course, as far as the operating system is concerned, the same thing that we have said about the 7-inch model applies: there is no reason to give up either the Google Play apps or the typical Android launchers.
Lenovo Tab 4 10: between 140 and 160 euros
There are several interesting options if we are looking for one cheap 10 inch tablet, like the MediaPad T3 10 and the Aquaris M10 HD, but we decided to highlight the Lenovo because all these are quite similar in characteristics (HD screen, Snapdragon 425, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of storage), but this and Huawei's have the advantage of being more recent models, already with Android Nougat (and, therefore, multi-window) and this is also normal that you find it a little cheaper. In fact, from time to time we have it on Amazon on sale for up to 140 euros, which for a mid-range tablet of this size is a very good price.
Galaxy Tab A 10.1: around 200 euros
The price of the tablet Samsung It is a little higher and does not oscillate that much, but for around 200 euros it is one of the best options we have, with a screen Full HD and Exynos processor. Keep in mind that it is a somewhat old tablet (probably its successor will arrive with the 2018 new Samsung tablets), but it is quite up-to-date and is one of the candidates to even receive Android Oreo. In fact, it is only because it has been a while since its launch that we can find it at this price. Its design may be somewhat strange (due to its apparent orientation to portrait mode), but it is very functional.
MediaPad M3 10 Lite: between 250 and 300 euros
La MediaPad M3 10 Lite It is another of those tablets whose price we have seen fluctuate a lot since it was launched and that at its official price of 300 euros goes more unnoticed but, as with the MediaPad T3 7, we have to advise you to check when you go to buy if It does not have some kind of discount at a distributor, because it is the most common, and you can usually find it closer to 250 euros (we have had it for a long time on Amazon for up to 230 euros), than for a Full HD tablet, with Snapdragon 435, 3 GB RAM, 32 GB storage, Harman Kardon fingerprint reader and speakers, it's a great price.
MediaPad M3: around 300 euros
La MediaPad M3 It is another tablet that we are usually going to find at a discount, but that usually stays closer to 300 euros. Depending on when you read this, however, and if the MediaPad M5, the probability that you can find it much cheaper will go up a lot. It is an excellent tablet and the best option in relation to quality / price within the high range, as long as you feel comfortable with an 8-inch screen and you do not care much about not having Android Nougat (because it does not seem likely that it will be updated), with screen Quad HD, Kirin 950 processor, 4 GB of RAM, 32 GB of storage, and also a fingerprint reader and Harman Kardon speakers.
Mix 320: $300
If we want a Windows tablet and we cannot afford to make a very high investment, our best option is the Miix 320, somewhat limited in power because its processor after all is an Intel Atom, but with surprisingly good performance despite this and with quite respectable figures of RAM (4 GB) and storage (64 GB), for what that we are used to seeing in this area. It is another tablet that is quite often on sale on the website of Lenovo, so maybe you even get the pleasant surprise of buying it with between 20 and 40 euros of discounts.
Yoga Tab 3 Plus: between 300 and 330 euros
If you don't want to do without the screen Quad HD but you want 10 inches, the most affordable option is Yoga Tab 3 Plus, another tablet that has been around for some time but that holds the type very well. For example, its processor is a Snapdragon 625, which is somewhat old, but which is still ahead of those that we find in many mid-range. It also has 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage. What can pull us back from this tablet the most is perhaps the design, which is certainly peculiar, but you have to think that not only does it give us a more comfortable support, but it also serves to house a large-capacity battery.
Galaxy Tab S2: between 350 and 400 euros
It must be said that the Galaxy Tab S3 It has been getting a lot cheaper lately, but with prices above 550 euros we still don't dare to include it on this list. The one that is an option that is worth taking into account if we want a level tablet at a good price is the Galaxy Tab S2, which is now usually seen for less than 400 euros and with which we will be able to enjoy one of the best screens, already going beyond resolution. It is also a tablet with an exceptional design, very thin and light, and is one of the Samsung tablets that would upgrade to Android Oreo.
iPad 9.7: $375
Although the star of the Apple catalog is the iPad Pro 10.5, much of the resurgence of its tablets is due to this iPad 9.7. Something that we can not say that surprises us because our sensations when we tried it were really good, with iOS 11 the user experience has improved even and is ahead of its rivals Android both in performance as in autonomy. Its official price, in addition, rises a little from 400 euros, but in Amazon we can find it a little cheaper and take advantage of what we save, even if it is little, to still squeeze its potential with some of your best accessories.
Refurbished iPad Pro: price depending on the model
The tablets of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), they are always safe bets, but with the exception of the iPad 9.7, rarely examples of value for money. There is an interesting option, however, for those who have fallen in love with their iPad Pro but do not want to spend more, which are the restored units, certified by Apple and with warranty one year. The iPad Pro 9.7, with which we already have support for Apple Pencil, you can buy for less than 500 euros, and now we can also get hold of it iPad Pro 10.5 up to 170 euros discount.
Surface Pro: stay tuned for offers
La Surface Pro It is another tablet that in itself cannot boast of having a particularly tempting price (950 euros), but we have made a place for it on this list because it is found very frequently in offer, both on the Microsoft website, as in Amazon and occasionally in other distributors as well. The discounts that are usually offered, in addition, are substantial, easily reaching 200 euros or even going beyond that figure and we have seen it more than once for less than 800 euros, a very interesting figure for a tablet of its level. Keep in mind, yes, that the keyboard is sold separately.
