Friends, interestingly, I'm noticing a trend in the tablet industry - a renewed interest has emerged. People are going back to tablets again. In the middle part of last season, tablets tended to be pretty much out of sight, but there seems to be this big spike of excitement about tablets now.

This Blog is basically about best tablets under 30,000, between 10,000 and 30,000. If your budget is 10,000, 20,000, or 30,000, I'm going to tell you about good tablets in all price ranges.

1. Best Tablet Under ₹10,000

Redmi Pad SE

Checked

★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ (4.0)

First, even below 10,000, you can get a good tablet in the form of Redmi Pad SE. You can make calls with this.

• Compact tablet - tablet and compact don't usually go together, but this has an 8.7-inch HD+ display with 90Hz refresh rate.

• It comes with Helio G55, has 4G (not 5G). For 10,000, you're getting an 8.7-inch display with 90Hz.

• Stereo speakers, and HyperOS which is a really good tablet OS - one of the more optimized tablet OSes.

• It has an 8-megapixel rear camera, 5-megapixel front camera, and the 4GB/64GB variant is available for 10,999.

With offers etc., you'll get it around 10,000. For that price, you're definitely getting a good tablet. If you don't have a higher budget and want to use it for 2-3 years, you can consider this.

2. Best Tablet Under ₹15,000

Realme Pad 2

Checked

★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ (4.2)

But under 15,000, there's a good pad - that one was 4G, but this is Wi-Fi only, but it gives good performance for the price.

• The Realme Pad 2 has an 11.5-inch display with 2K+ resolution and 120Hz IPS display. So in terms of display, if it's for multimedia, spend 5,000 extra instead of 10,000 and get this - you'll get a big display.

• It comes with Helio G99 processor, RAM options of 4-6GB, and 128GB storage, so that is good.

• It has quad speakers, 8360mAh battery, 33W charging, and 8+5 megapixel cameras for 14,999. I think this is really, really good.

3. Best Tablet Under ₹20,000

Poco Pad

Checked

★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ (4.4)

Under 20,000, if you can increase your budget a bit, then definitely you should look at Poco Pad.

• It has a 12.1-inch display with 2.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and Gorilla Glass 3 protection. So you know, if it falls or gets hit a little, there's not much tension - it's durable.

• It comes with Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor, which again is decent, and HyperOS, which I've already mentioned.

• It has quad speakers, a large 10,000mAh battery, 33W charging, and its 8/128GB variant is for 19,999.

  ^ ^ Tips ^ ^

(The Poco Pad and Realme Pad 2, I mentioned are Wi-Fi variants, so use hotspot - generally that's what people do. They don't buy more expensive 4G or 5G LTE tablets, they buy Wi-Fi and use it on hotspot.)

4. Best Tablet Under ₹30,000

Xiaomi Pad 7

Checked

★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ (4.5)

Xiaomi Pad 7 is probably one of the best value-for-money Android tablets out there.

• Pad has an 11.2-inch 3.2K resolution IPS LCD display with 144Hz fast refresh rate.

• It comes with Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3, which in my opinion is a very, very good processor even for gaming. It scores around 1.4 million on Antutu, so you can actually game well on high settings.

• For gaming, multimedia, it has HyperOS 2.0, quad speakers - excellent overall display, performance, OS - full marks.

• It has a large 8850mAh battery, 45W charging, 13+8 megapixel camera, and the 8/256GB variant is available for 27,999.

5. Best Tablet Under ₹32,000

Apple iPad 10th Gen

Checked

★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ (4.7)

Apple surprised me. For the first time I'll say, if you know that the iPad 10th generation was literally the best-selling tablet for 2-3 years, this is its successor - iPad 11th generation.

• It has an 11-inch IPS display, A16 Bionic chipset - it's one of the most powerful.

• It's a 4/64GB variant, but I'd say don't look at RAM and ROM here, because the optimization is such that if you're getting performance equivalent to 12GB on an Android tablet, 4GB is more than enough on an iPad because the best combo of OS and hardware is magical.

• It has stereo speakers, iOS, and you'll get tremendous updates - iPad OS updates for four, five, six years.

• It has a 7606mAh battery, 20W charging.

(When looking at any Apple product, you shouldn't look at specs but at the experience. So if you want a long-term tablet that you can use for four-five years, I'd say go for iPad 11th generation because the 6/128GB variant is 34,900, but with bank offers it comes under 30,000 - around 29,000. I think for that price, iPad 11th generation is excellent. You can definitely look at it.)

Point To Note Down

And then creatively, you get support for the first-generation Pencil. If you get the Xiaomi Pad 7, it also supports their Xiaomi Pen, but the iPad 11th generation also has it own. So if you want to do creative work, you can look at either Xiaomi Pad 7 or iPad 11th generation.
