Best Tablets

The Xiaomi Pad 8 tablet brings interesting features and specifications at this price point. The tablet offers a sleek design that makes it easier to carry. Moreover, the tablet packs a large display in a compact size, making it easier to handle. The display is probably one of the best you can get in this price segment. The performance is up to the mark, and you won’t feel any stutter or lag during a longer period of gaming or multitasking. The battery life is also improved. If you are looking for a good tablet in 2026, you can surely consider this one. 

The Redmi Pad 2 Pro 5G does a lot of things correctly at its price point of Rs. 22,999, making it a very strong offering for those on a budget for a new Android tablet. The large 120Hz display, reliable use experience, long battery life, and interesting accessory support options give the Redmi Pad 2 Pro 5G a level of versatility that makes it very useful, especially for media consumption and light productivity.

The new Kindle Paperwhite is great for avid readers and brings tons of upgrades for those who love reading e-books on the go. The new Kindle is thin, portable, and travel-ready. The 7-inch display is the biggest highlight of the new Paperwhite as it packs the largest display yet. The 300PPI pixel density feels optimum, while IPX8 keeps your worry-free for reading experience anywhere and anytime. You can also enjoy e-books in additional languages such as Hindi, Tamil, and Marathi, among others. 

HP recently launched the OmniPad 12 in India for Rs. 48,999. The tablet is currently on sale in the country via the company’s online store in a single Meteor Silver colourway. It is a well-built tablet bundled with a detachable, full-size QWERTY keyboard, aiming to replace conventional work laptops. It sports a large 12-inch 2K resolution LCD screen, which gets most things right. However, its underpowered chipset pulls down the overall experience.

The OnePlus Pad Go 2 is a well-rounded Android tablet aimed at users seeking a reliable, affordable alternative to the base iPad. It offers a sharp 12.1-inch display, strong battery life, and a polished OxygenOS 16 experience with useful multitasking features. Performance is suitable for everyday productivity, streaming, and light gaming, while the built-in 5G adds flexibility on the go. Camera performance and charging speeds are average, but overall, the Pad Go 2 delivers solid value for its price.

Xiaomi’s budget tablet has a design that is a mix of polycarbonate plastic and metal. While a majority of its rear panel is made up of metal, there is a plastic strip running at the top to allow the cellular antennae to breathe and transmit data efficiently. The tablet given its compact dimensions does feel a bit heavy but is made well.

The Redmi Pad 2’s display now offers a higher resolution, which makes it sufficiently sharp when browsing the web and watching video. It’s not very bright or useful outdoors but indoors it provides vibrant colours and also offers FHD video streaming playback.

Its quad-speakers with Dolby Atmos sound, sound immersive. Cameras are poor and barely useful except for capturing documents or answering video conference calls.

Its battery has gotten larger, but is also slower to charge. At the same time, it lasts a whole day of continuous use which is expected at this price point.
