We recently brought you a selection with the tablets with the best quality / price ratio of 2017, in all ranges, but the truth is that in recent times a good number of entry-level tablets, perfect for those who want a tablet for simple tasks and are not worth spending too much, and it is necessary to review best.
MediaPad T3 8
We start with one of the most recent models, so much so that in fact it has not yet reached the stores, and in fact we do not know how much it will cost exactly: the MediaPad T3. In any case, and although it may end up not being one of those that leave us a better quality / price ratio, it must be recognized that it is one of the best features it offers us without entering the mid-range field, with HD resolution , Snapdragon 425 processor and up to 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage capacity, in addition to arriving with Android Nougat, something that many higher-level tablets still cannot boast of. What makes it stand out the most, however, is its design and its metal casing.
Lenovo Tab 4 8
Also very recent, although a little less, but in any case still pending to reach the stores, we have the Lenovo Tab 4 8. Its technical specifications are very similar to those of the MediaPad T3, with HD resolution as well and the same Snapdragon 425 processor, only in this case we do not have a model that gives us extra memory and storage, and we have to settle for 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of ROM. Admittedly, its design is somewhat simpler too, with no metal casing to boast about. Also here we already have Android Nougat, and in this case we can put a price on it, also, because Lenovo He gave it to us already on the day of his presentation: 169 euros.
Aquaris M8
The technical specifications of the Aquaris M8 They are very similar to those of the previous two (HD resolution, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of storage capacity), but it is true that instead of a Qualcomm processor we find a Mediatek. We are not going to enjoy Android Nougat either, but it still comes with Android Marshmallow. In return, it must be said that it has a plus when it comes to using it as a multimedia device, which are the front stereo speakers, and you can find a little cheaper than what the others seem to be, for around 150 euros without having to search too much, despite the fact that its official price on the bq website is a little higher.
Fire 8HD
Although it does not have the charm of the novelty, because it has been on sale for some time, one of the best options of the entry-level range is still the Fire 8HD and, we even bet on the version without special promotions, which costs $120 (If the ads don't bother us too much, we can save 10 euros), it is difficult to find a tablet with similar characteristics for that price, even if we have to make some concessions, such as that with it we are left with 1.5 GB of RAM or that the processor is Mediatek instead of Qualcomm, in addition to that it must be taken into account that Amazon tablets use Fire OS, which changes a lot compared to pure Android, and have some limitations, although solutions can always be found.
Galaxy Tab A 7.0
If the 10-inch model The Galaxy Tab A seems to us to be the basic reference in mid-range tablets right now, it must be said that the one of 7 inches It is also one of the most interesting in the basic range, with the only drawback that its screen is a little smaller than that of the other tablets on the list. For the rest, its technical specifications (HD resolution, Snapdragon 410, 1.5 GB of RAM) and its price (about 130 euros) are on horseback, as you can see, of the tablets that occupy the podium here and the Fire 8 HD. The only thing in which it would lose is that it remains in 8 GB of storage capacity, but we always have the option of gaining some space externally through a micro-SD card.
More options
We have limited ourselves to highlighting the tablets of basic range higher level, those that are already at the doors of the mid-range, but if we look for cheap tablets We have a few more options, as we showed you with our recommendations for tablets of less than 200 euros for gifts for Mother's Day. Of course, we can always keep an eye on the low-cost terrain, where we will never lack the most interesting options, and we take the opportunity to remind you that we have yet to know the winner to the draw for an Energy Tablet Pro 3.
