I'm in the market for an affordable Android tablet in 2024, and I'm hoping to get some recommendations from the community. My budget is around $200 - $300, and I'm looking for a device that offers good value for money without compromising too much on performance and features.
I mainly plan to use it for web browsing, watching videos, light gaming, and maybe some productivity tasks like email and document editing. A decent display (preferably 1080p or higher) and good battery life are important to me. I'm also curious about which brands are currently offering the best budget-friendly options.

If you'd love spend a bit more, you can get more powerful Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE. It offers a compelling package for users seeking a well-rounded tablet experience. It successfully brings many of Samsung's high-end features to a more accessible device, making it a strong contender in the mid-range tablet market.

The Xiaomi Pad 6 might still be available in your region. It's a bit more gaming-oriented, but it's versatile enough for productivity tasks too. Xiaomi has been making waves in the budget tablet market, so it's worth a look.

I recently picked up the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2024 edition), and it's been a great budget option. It's right in your price range at about $230. The 10.5-inch 1080p display is crisp, and the battery easily lasts a full day of use. It handles basic tasks and light gaming well, though don't expect flagship performance. Samsung's software support is pretty reliable too. Definitely worth considering!

I've been using the Tab S6 Lite as a secondary tablet alongside my M1 iPad Pro 11", and while it doesn’t match the power of the iPad, it's still a solid device. The build quality is good and the battery life is impressive.
My primary uses include taking notes with Samsung Notes, reading through apps like FBReader and Olive Tree for Bible studies, playing light games (mostly Stardew Valley and Another Eden), coding with Termux, and enjoying music via YT Music and audiobooks from Audible. Everything runs well, though starting some games can be a bit slower compared to the iPad. Multitasking isn’t its strong suit; split screen works fine for two apps, but three can feel sluggish.
For battery performance, I used it from 10 AM to 11 PM, and still had 29% left, having only turned off the screen for about two hours. The S Pen is excellent for note-taking, attaches magnetically, and doesn’t require charging, which is convenient.
However, the display has some downsides—there's noticeable backlight bleed and glare, which can be distracting. Overall, it meets my needs, but the display is something I hope to see improved in future models.
