- Should you buy a budget Android tablet in 2023 and is the Oppo Pad Air a worthy choice? This review shows off the familiar specs and features of the Oppo Pad Air, comparing vs rival cheap tablets like the Xiaomi Pad 6, and that more expensive iPad.
For under £200 you can grab a decent budget tab these days, ideal for web browsing, reading magazines, streaming video, editing docs and more. I’d also recommend grabbing an Oppo Pad Air or similar affordable Android if you want to keep your kids entertained, or as a portable screen to carry around the home.
You can even turn budget tablets like the Oppo Pad Air into a compact makeshift laptop using a keyboard dock. They’re small, light and great for smashing out emails or essays wherever you wander.
So what’s your pick of the best budget Android tablet in 2023? Let us know what you’re using below!

FINALLY a reviewer who includes battery size. I can't tell you how many videos I have watched where people ramble about cameras and accessories but give ZERO information about the battery. Thanks for the upload, my guy.

I got the Oppo pad free with the Find X5 Pro last year. It's been good, not really gamed on it but it's worked great for Netflix and RUclips.
How good is it for forex trading
Absolutely love your vids Chris. The wit and references are just wonderfully British. You're a legend. I don't think I watch any other techtuber more than you. But I'm a little puzzled as to why you opted for this 10" Oppo tablet as the best budget option rather than say the 12" Honor Pad 8, which I have.. It's got the same or better specs and 2 inches bigger screen than this, all for the same money so surely that would have been a better bang for your buck choice.
Regardless, keep up those shenanigans and keep the country amused!
Lenovo P11 Gen2 Pro is fantastic. Look no firther, unfer 300$. I use the latest ipadPro (1K plus) and the Lenovo. I use the iPad for the same things and Lenovo's tablet is really impressive, amoled display, 120 hz uad speakers..it's a joy for movies and you tube. buy buy buy
Does it come preinstalled with a screen protector? Thanks.
These anime wallpapers on EVERY device this Chad reviews is something on completely another level, really

I always recommend the Lenovo P11 or Yoga Tab 11. We have the Yoga in the household and it is incredibly versatile with the built-in kickstand/hanger, good speakers, great display, and the pen also works really well. It's take it over the comparative 9th gen any day.
The M8 is a no-go because micro USB but the M9 that replaced it fixed that.
What would you say is on the level of the new fire 11 max tablet? As I want Google on it lol
@@davetech356 Yes, very comparable. The Fire 11 Max is subsidized, meaning it will generally be cheaper since it is used primarily as a terminal for Amazon services. This is something that is a selling point for some or a total turn-off for others.
I like as close to bone-stock Android as possible, so I avoid Fire tablets. But that's just me.
Spec-wise, they're very comparable. The display might even be the same panel.
@@forgottencameras exactly. the fire 11 max is hampered by it's bloated amazon UI.
Can anyone suggest a good table for $59.99 or so as I need a budget friendly tablet.
Mi pad 6 is probably the best tablet in the budget segment
I like your videos as always entertaining. Is it possible if you include mentioning if the smartphones or tablets support type c display output to monitor via hdmi and screen mirroring? Cause there is no reviewers mentioning about these features.
Budget tablets usually don't unless mentioned in their sites.
@@joelconolly5574 you have to see what usb c standard they are using. Lenovo even has a dex like experience.
Can I please ask your advice, is this a better purchase or the Huawei Matepad SE. Or is there any other around £150-200 you could recommend please.
Thanks Chris, I do desire that larger screen for portable entertainment and sometimes a laptop mouse and keypad can be annoying.
mbruh...laptops exist
Bruh, laptop are more cumbersome and can't be comfortably used everywhere @@teleportingpotatoe
I bought an Amazon Fire Tablet last year for just under 200CAD. It has a 10.1 inch FHD display, 64GB memory, earphone jack, great battery life, and I can plug in a flash drive if I want to access more data. It does have some drawbacks: many of the apps in Google Playstore aren't available and have to be sideloaded, like Chrome, and it's not blazing fast but since I use it exclusively for reading e-books and occasionally watching a movie, it's more than good enough, especially considering the price.
@techspurtvideo how about tackling the ridiculous pricing of the Google tablet in the UK?
I sideloaded the play store on my fire hd 10 and tbh the only app I use from it is RUclips. There are some other cool apps like shonen jump for manga, vudu for movies, and some other niche ones but I don't really need them on my Fire since I have an Android phone already
@@KD6-3.7.2I'm using a Fire HD 8 for manga reading by installing Tachiyomi and MangaPlus. Bigger than smartphone but still one handed friendly for manga reading
If you sideload the Play Store, you don't have to futz with sideloading anything else. But yeah I'm here because honestly I hate Fire OS
Bro Amazon Fire Tablets are ass like they don't last long I used to have one
Ahhh Seaburn, a place close to my own heart 😂 anyway great review, was a bit mislead by the title tho, thought there would've been more budget devices being looked at 🤔
Is this good enough for basic video editing?
You've just summoned all hoshiyomis with that wallpaper, me included
Wish they would release a mid to high range 8 inch tablet. Miss the nexus 7
Legion Y700
@@markryanlocsin1317 only available in china. International shipping and fees make it less of a deal
Tech Spurt, This made me laugh so hard, thanks for sharing!
What precision stylus would you recommend for a drawing program? I bought a s9pen but these kinds od tablets dont have the charge slot. :(
@Tech Spurt Is there a budget Android Tablet with LDAC you can recommend? Thanks
Can u review and do a camera test on the touch X20 tablet plz thanx
I'm having trouble locking down anywhere to buy one. Wheres a place I can trust to get a Oppo pad air?
Ohhh looks good, how would these compare to something like the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite?
Nice video
I've literally been looking at budget tablets for the last week so this was very well timed! Aiming to pick up the Redmi pad but will look more into the Oppo Pad Air.
Redmi pad is awesome for the Price. Watching this on it
As opposed to figuratively looking?
I just bought a Lenovo m9 on sale for 90 bucks and i love it.
I always recommend the Redmi Pad at this price point.
dose the type c USB can be use the headphone through it ?
Ive been using a Samsung Tab A8 64GB Model i got on sale for $200, and i am very pleased with the tablet so far. It even came bundled with a free cover for free.
hi ive been looking at getting a Samsung Galaxy tab a 8 myself, just wondering how well does it perform with multitasking? does it lag ever?
@@cuffsflop7551 it usually lags for a few or more seconds when multitasking with 2 or more apps but once it loads up its pretty good. I've tried using Google and RUclips side by side and once it completely loads it's very usable. Just temper your expectations since it is a Budget Device, but I've had no hard issues with the multitasking so far. And if you really want a solid budget tablet that can handle multitasking I also suggest the Samsung Tab S6 Lite 2022 and IPad 9th Gen.
@@cuffsflop7551 get the 4 gb RAM version, it's definitely better at multitasking and does not lag unless you open way too many apps (7 or more) at the same time based on my observation
@@cuffsflop7551performance is shite
A8 is dreadful, lags , and really slow with minimal installed . I would avoid we don't use it now
wasn't expecting to find a mackem shopping for presents
Hey Mr Spurty... Is it possible to start doing a quick check on the phones/tablets you get to review to see if they can connect to your TV via USB to HDMI cable and such? In other words, which have USB Displayport - 'ALT Mode' capabilities... I have a well aged Nvidia Shield K1 Tablet connected to my TV as a form of media player, and with it's old Android 7 and 2Gb Ram is DEFINITELY showing its age! So, am interested in what phones/tablets have this type of connectivity, and NO it doesn't have to be Moto's Ready for or Samsungs DeX etc, just maybe check/mention which devices you CAN do USB 'ALT Mode'. Would be a handy thing to know for us out here that would like the option to connect our phones to 'The big screen'. Thanks fella! 👍
😎🇬🇧
Check Xiaomi Pad 6 and Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro, both of them have Display out feature via USB
@@mvkishoresr Yeah, I came across them in another video recently, and even just the pad 6 has impressive specs for the price, and... A fairly bare bones stock android too! Nice! 👍
The Lenovo Tab P11 cannot be connected to TV or monitor via HDMI cable. But it can connect to a smart TV thru Casting. I wish I bought Xiaomi Pad instead.
Smart man not speculating on whats done with ones hands while viewing a tablet
Nice tan, you want from Shalhoub 5head to redhead.
Excellent vidio
Yes hope honor pad 8 is in the list
The Oppo isn't budget tablet at £240. Budget is £100 or less to me.
True, these RUclipsrs think that everyone is making 1000's of dollars just sitting on their asses
Yeah good luck with that budget you're gonna end up with a laggy mess 😂
So basically just the one tablet, lol.
Report it ⬆️

I think my iPad mini 4 is fine thanks
This tablet is cheap but works great better than Xiomi and realme
@@typhfanuwu7526nobody told you not to be. Some people prefer android, it really depends on what you use them for.
as a teacher this seems interesting to use it with the smart tv
i hope showing queen's blade limit break ad on screen won't demonetize this video
I just need a review if it's suitable for work and stuff but all the reviews on RUclips just show playing games worthy 🙄 but thanks for the info. Highly appreciate it. 💕 I'll check out more before purchasing one.
That's cause if a device can play games well, then it can probably do everything
140 quid for the 64 gb version on prime day for Amazon subscribers might be worth considering at that price for some
I think something like the Alldocube iPlay 50 mini is considered much more budget considering it's $100+ but has 8 inch FHD+ that's supposedly Widevine L1 certified. Whether you can use that widevine is up for debate.
Joel Conolly I have an Alldocube iplay 50 Pro. Paid $165 here in Leyte for it. It's fantastic. i gave my old iplay 30 pro to a needy person. I hate to promote Chinese products, but have to admit they are cheap and good.
Thanks friend
Where to buy tho??
Hiya mate. Can you do reviews on things like the iPad pros? There isn't a decent iPad etc reviewer
If you can stretch your budget a bit further for a tablet then importing from china the Xiaomi pad 6 (or even better the pad 6 pro) will give you a tablet that is better in almost everyway for not too much more money
Did you try an SD card in it?
How about OS updates?
@@Pypnlr4ug no worries since I got it I've had 3 OTA updates currently on the October security patch
I wish Uncle Spurt could send me this tablet for my birthday
Just the good ones even, I have the Xiaomi pad 5 and I love it, it's great for media and great for studying, genuinely recommend
but it doesn't have sd support
Urgent: Can you PLEASE review the XGODY P70 pro tablet with 512gb and check if it really has that much internal storage and if everything else is correct? 🙏
Or does anyone have it and can tell me?
I'd still like to have a video about it, so I can see for myself.
I bought an Alldocube iplay 50 Pro for $165 or about 132 pounds. It has a Media Tek Helio G99 (Antutu 355,000) with 8gb ram and expandable 128gb storage as well as a 3.5mm headphone jack.
My old iplay 30 Pro is still working good so gave that away to someone needy.
I hate to promote Chinese products especially after all the security problems with Huawai and Tik Tok but I have to admit they are good tablets at a very cheap price.
talk about the display,on alldocube
@@dinozaurpickupline4221 I'm disappointed with the display because it's smaller than my iplay 30 pro.
Not usually a fan of no name products ut have to say the teclast tablets are both reasonably priced and surprisingly good quality. It ould be great to see uncle spurt pointing his eyes at one of these... the t50?
I mean it's good for the price but you aren't sure if it would last years maybe a month but not a year they put the same things in almost all their tablets m50 pro is the same and p40hd also and they take the same name for other tablets it's confusing and finding a case is difficult
OPPO is the fifth largest mobile phone manufacturer in the world
THANK GOODNESS FOR CAPTIONS!!
Any one know if you can put an SIM card in it or the 12 inch one
I just bought the s6 lite for the s pen support
اشتريت تابليت شركة onn 32gb storage and 2gof ram but the antenna of 5g wifi is so weak not like lgg4 or lg k40 i want to boost its antenna how
What wallpaper is that looks nice
Looks like tablet I would use to read books and watch movies from time to time and that's max
If you showcase the front camera for video calls you must show the back one as well, as often people swap between the two to show something to the people they are on a call to. I agree that photos are pretty much irrelevant, though elderly and young people are less likely to have a phone with a camera (see Doro) so that's a bit disgusting to say that if you are old or a toddler and use the only camera you have to take photos, you will burn in hell, but that aside, there is real case use for that back sensor if you are not a spoiled middle age tech reviewer.
Xiaomi pad 6 has no OTA updates in the United States correct?
i've got a massive gaming lappy and it's just too big and too precious to take on my beach holiday so i can watch youtube/twitch/amazon prime movies
i have an android smartphone but it gets hot after a while and don't want to risk burning it out
looking at lenovo
thanks for this
Is that a Hoshimachi Suisei wallpaper? If so, based.
this is review of the Oppo Pad Air,
Not wether budget tablets are worth it.
android vs iOS would be a good comparison (lack of updates vs apple updates, etc), are we just getting to the realm or CPU/RAM updates and little else?, etc
I just want a bigger screen for maps while delivering on my motorbike
I'm looking for a real CHEAP tab, 10" (aliexpres) ONLY to look at food recipe videos. Not going to be used very often. Any ideas?
Literally just got my Xiaoxin Pad 2022 (aka Lenovo M10 plus) for 130 usd off AliExpress, amazing tablet for the price
@TwinTurbo Ray when most electronics are produced in china, seems rather unavoidable no?
My kids currently have a Galaxy Tab A7. Awesome devices. They a few years old. What is a good replacement??
ipad 9th gen is the best experience,google nest is a second one
I always buy android tablets for a reason - youtube revanced. I just cant go back watching youtube full of ads. the quality of life improvements of revanced is something I cant leave.
I got a Samsung s5e. Not the strongest, but the display and speaker kills most budget and midrange tablets on the market. The amoled screen gorgeous. I only do light gaming and media consumption, so it's perfect for me.
Google have destroyed regular RUclips with ad's every few seconds it's insane. Like you I use Revanced and will never go back
I'm still using the youtube app,which vanced are you using,the version number?
Does the oppo pad air have stylus support do you know? I know they sell a pen for the Indian version but seems to be buggar all info about the UK version
Hi there, the stylus isn't available to purchase in Europe currently.
Thank you.
Still unable to find a successor to my NINE YEAR OLD(!!!) Sony Xperia Tablet Z3 Compact. It's 270g light, 6mm thin, has IP68, 16:10 FullHD Screen, front facing stereo speakers, micro-SD, headphone jack...
Most modern Tablets have like 2x the weight and no IP-rating

Hi, which tablet under 300€ is best for work with AutoCad files? I need to use it on construction site. Thanks
No tablet ipad os android os support Autocad u need windows tab
Can you Suggest android tablet around 250 dollars? I dont play games i only used it on excel and watching streaming like netflix
For the money, its hard to beat the Kindle Fire HD 6. Tgey can be had for about $20 for the 1GB/16GB configuration and converting them to full Android is rather trivial. Your only limitation seems to be Android 5.0 (AOSP) on board
honestly im very happy with my, pretty much noname, chinese tablet. 10 inches and big enough battery for reading PDFs and checking mails, and that`s all I do on my tablet.
I think i have a budget android tablet i have the galaxy tab a 8.4 2020 im watching this on the tablet
It support wired controller?
I have a lenovo p11 an dlove it, my only gripe i cant find a keyboard case that i like. The type keyboard case i like only availble for ipad and fire hd10 which shame. Not fan of folios and kickstand style ones. Mainly cause i usually have my tablet when in bed and cases with stands and foilios arent really perfect for bed.
I prefer one ui action, so tab a7 for me
9th gen ipad only 2 years old and will be supported for a good while yet
I am simple man.
I see Suisei, I click like on the video.
It's already difficult finding an adult with a tablet
The Honor X9 11.5 tablet looks to be the best value, £179 120hz screen android 13.
But the Honor x9 has no android updates and only one year of security updates starting from July 2023 according to their support team so its basically good for a year
How do I get these types of wallpapers can someone please help thanks
Suisei Hoshimachi wallpaper, I see you are a fellow Hoshiyomi ☄️
Budget tablet is called Lenovo y700
Could be perfect for some RUclips action and just what I'm looking for! Something small with a half decent screen and some BT headphones. Done!
Not sure about budget tablets but i absolutely love my Tab S8+
Android on a budget tablet is pointless.
@@mikelarsen5836No it isn't. Tablets are media consumption devices and Android is perfect on budget devices
I like to use my tablet with Android Auto on long trips in the car using a suction cup holder on the dashboard, 10 inches sat nav works really well via Google or Ways.
Can u test realme pad mini ?
I clicked on this video because of sui-chan wallpaper...No cap
Should I go for this one or amazon fire max 11?
Probably this. Amazing fire are generally garbage. Even mebbetr would be xiaomi pad 5 if can find at good price.
So this is better than an Amazon tab?
Android tablets are awesome and much better for movie watching than iPads due to the screen aspect ratio. The best bang for buck is probably the Fire 10 which is easily turned in to a regular Android tablet by sideloading Google.
The new iPads have the same aspect ratio as Android tablets.
@@deleqtronica8733 I'm pretty sure that's not correct
Why can't they do an 8" with a halfway decent octa core in it, anyone? You get some fairly decent processors in budget phones but those same processors seems WAY too good for a smaller Android tablet. So, if you want to navigate in-car using a tablet which will open Waze, and respond before you get to your destination, an iPad mini with a cell feature is sadly your only option. Seems normal people should keep taking care of their eye sight since you'll need to either keep navigating with your phone or get lost with in-car navigation.
Large phones killed small tablets

Seria interessante um VERSUS de comparações dos GOOGLE PIXEL TAB e NOKIA T21 !!
Is that a Suisei wallpaper? 🧐
that suisei wallpaper tho
It's inevitable that you will compare the performance of the tablet with your phone's. In a year from now it will seem painfully slow and you will put it in a box where you keep your never-used gizmos...
So 2K is 2000x1200? I always thought 2K was just 1440p lol
I say they are. Mine is a little downloading machine.
Did anybody else have to put on subtitles to understand the slightest bit of what he was saying? Lol no hate, cheers mate
I don't even care about the tablet, i saw suichan on the thumbnail and instantly clicked
