It is true that to find cheap tablets it is not essential to resort to import, but it is also true that we will always find more affordable options with different characteristics that we are looking for, whether they are high resolution screens, 2 in 1 Windows, 4G tablets, tablets to play ... We do a review of the best chinese tablets that we can buy right now.
The great reference: Mi Pad 3
We are going to start by highlighting the latest tablet from the most popular of Chinese manufacturers and surely the one that has the least need for presentations: the Mi Pad 3. There may be more interesting options if we have very specific needs or preferences, but Xiaomi devices are probably the ones with the best manufacturing qualities, the easiest to find and with the best shipping and warranty conditions, in addition to having the support from a very broad and active user community that will make it very easy for us to install a different ROM or make any other type of adjustment. Especially if it is our experience with a Chinese device, it is always the safest bet.
As for the tablet itself, it must also be said that it is one of the best 8-inch tablets that we have seen this year, Chinese or not, with a screen with a metal casing, resolution 2048 x 1536, a processor Mediatek but very powerful, 4 GB of RAM and up to a 13 MP camera. Not only is a safe bet because it is a Xiaomi device, but it is also because it will respond very well to different types of use (unless we want it to work, in which case, it is true that the screen can be very small. Even its predecessor , the Mi Pad 2If we find it with a good price, it is an interesting option.
Android tablets with high resolution and the best price
The Mi Pad 3 is a high-end tablet and although its quality / price ratio is excellent, it may be a bit out of our budget, but there is no need to worry because ultra low-cost Android devices are the ones that made the most popular. Chinese tablets first and there are always plenty of options to choose from. Among the most recent launches we have, for example, the Cube iWork8 Air Pro, with dual boot, Full HD screen and Intel Atom processor, for about 100 euros. Not so recent, but just as cheap and with quite remarkable performance, we have the FNF iFive Mini 4s, with 2048 x 1536 screen and metal casing. If we can raise a little over 100 euros, it is worth taking a look at the Teclast X98 Plus II, with the same resolution but with 10 inches and 4 GB of RAM
Onda is another brand that has a fairly wide catalog of Android tablets with good prices, although it is true that it is perhaps not one of the best valued brands in terms of finishes and performance, and it specifically suits the models with its Phoenix SO. In any case, the Wave V80 SE leaves us a Full HD screen and an Intel Atom processor for around 70 euros, and his most recent Then V10 ProIf we are willing to spend a little more, it offers us for less than 200 euros a 10.1-inch screen with Quad HD resolution, and with the cleaner version of Android Marshmallow it is quite fluid, as you can see in the video test.
2-in-1 Windows at a mid-range price
In addition to getting Full HD screens at minimum prices, one of the best reasons we can have to resort to the Chinese tablet market is probably to get 2 in 1 Windows with a reasonable price, something really difficult looking among the manufacturers that sell In our country. If we settle for Intel Atom processors, which saw the light recently with 11-inch Full HD screen and 6 GB of RAM, we have the Teclast X3 Plus. And shortly after came the Cube iWork 3X, which boasts the same screen as the Surface Pro 4 (12.3 inches and 2736 x 1824 resolution.
We even have a few options also for those who want to enjoy at least Intel Core M processors (usually the M3 7Y30), such as the Teclast 5X Pro, with a 12.2-inch Full HD screen, but you have to have that the price here can already go up to 400 euros. A little cheaper and with the same chip we have, on the one hand, with a 10-inch screen, the Cube Mix Plus, and on the other, with an 11.6-inch screen, the Wave Obook 11 Pro, both for around 350 euros. We even have a simply spectacular convertible, the Cube i35, with a 13.5-inch screen and 3000 x 2000 resolution, but here the price is already similar to that of the conventional 2 in 1.
Tablets for gamers in the purest Nintendo Switch style
It is true that one of the great claims of the Nintendo Switch It is the catalog of games that we will have available but, as we have already argued on other occasions, Android can give us a lot in terms of games, so it may be interesting to opt for one of the Chinese tablets that have tried to imitate (more or less faithfully, depending on the case) the design of the Japanese tablet and that will be much cheaper (if more than the design itself, what we want are good performance, image and audio with a reasonable price, however, we continue to recommend that you bet on the tablet of Nvidia).
We recently talked to you, for example, about the GPD XD, which comes with a Nintendo and PlayStation game emulator and sells for less than 200 euros. The same company has a slightly more expensive model but that comes with even more sophisticated controls, which has earned its name, GDP WIN PC, for even having a keyboard. The cheapest of all, in any case, would be the JDX S7300C, which is around 100 euros.
