There haven’t been a lot of 10 inch tablets being released this year, but the ones that have been released a while ago have dropped to around $300 or less, which makes them pretty good deals now. Let’s see what are some of the best 10 inch tablets with Android that you can get right now for $300 or less.
Asus Transformer Pad TF300T
The Asus Transformer Pad TF300T had quite a big launch, and it was quickly declared the best Android tablet for $400 at the time. It’s now significantly less than that, which makes it a very good deal. Plus, Asus has been one of the best companies when it comes to getting upgrades, so it’s no surprise that it comes with Android 4.2, which is the latest version of Android. How about that? Check out its specs, too:
- CPU: quad core 1.2 Ghz ARM Cortex A9 Tegra 3
- Display: 10″ IPS LCD, 1280×800 resolution
- RAM: 1 GB RAM
- Storage: 16 GB, microSD slot (up to 32 GB)
- Camera: 8 MP
- Front-camera: 1.2 MP
- Connectivity: Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n
- OS: Android 4.2
Sony Xperia Tablet S
The Sony Xperia Tablet S was Sony’s very first Android tablet. It was a decent time at the time. The only problem was that it started at a too high price of $600. But the price has dropped to about half that now, which makes it pretty good value for your money, if you want to get one of the best 10 inch tablets around with Android. Here’s the list of specs:
- CPU: quad core 1.2 Ghz ARM Cortex A9 Tegra 3
- Display: 10″ IPS LCD, 1280×800 resolution
- RAM: 1 GB RAM
- Storage: 16 GB, microSD slot (up to 32 GB)
- Camera: 8 MP
- Front-camera: 1 MP, 720p recording
- Connectivity: Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n
- OS: Android 4.1
ASUS MeMO Pad Smart
The ASUS MeMO Pad Smart is another great 10 inch Android tablet, which also comes with Android 4.2, and is quite a bit cheaper than the Transformer Pad TF300T, but has lower specs:
- CPU: quad core 1.2 Ghz ARM Cortex A9 Tegra 3
- Display: 10″ LED LCD, 1280×800 resolution
- RAM: 1 GB RAM
- Storage: 16 GB, microSD slot (up to 32 GB)
- Camera: 5 MP
- Front-camera: 1.2 MP
- Connectivity: Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n
- OS: Android 4.2
Lenovo Idea Tablet S2109
The Lenovo Idea Tablet S2109 is also one of Lenovo’s first Android tablets, at a time when they were trying to compete with the iPad, and wanted to make it as close as possible in how it looks. This is why it has the same 9.7″ screen size, and the same 1024×768 resolution like the iPad 2. So if you prefer a tablet that can be used in portrait mode like the iPad, but comes with Android, for only $300, then this is the one to get. More specs:
- CPU: dual core 1 Ghz Ghz ARM Cortex A9 OMAP 4430
- Display: 9.7″ IPS LCD, 1024×768 resolution
- RAM: 1 GB RAM
- Storage: 16 GB, microSD slot (up to 32 GB)
- Camera: No
- Front-camera: 1.3 MP, 720p recording
- Connectivity: Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n
- OS: Android 4.0
Toshiba Excite AT205T16I
The Toshiba Excite AT205T161 doesn’t exactly have a name to remember, but it’s another decent 10″ Android tablet for $300 that you can check out. Just like the other tablets, it comes with Android 4+ and a dual core ARM-based Marvell processor, among other specs:
- CPU: quad core 1.2 Ghz ARM Cortex A9
- Display: 10″ IPS LCD, 1280×800 resolution
- RAM: 1 GB RAM
- Storage: 16 GB, microSD slot (up to 32 GB)
- Camera: 5 MP
- Front-camera: 2 MP
- Connectivity: Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n
- OS: Android 4.0
These are some of the best 10 inch tablets with Android, and my recommendation would be to get the Asus Transformer Pad TF300T or the Sony Xperia Tablet S, if you want a better designed tablet.
