Best Android Tablet Under $200 in 2024 – our top picks

If you are looking for the best Android tablet for general use, then you should check out the Lenovo Tab M9, which we think is a good pick for under 200 dollars.

The tablet has a 9-inch HD display, which is slightly smaller than the regular 10-inch tablets. Now, HD resolution might not sound like a lot, but as 9-inch is a small screen, you should get clear visuals due to high pixel density.

As far as portability is concerned, the tablet weighs only 0.8 pounds, which should be light enough for most users to carry around. To add to that, you get up to 13 hours of battery life, which should give you a day’s worth of use.

Coming to security, the tablet offers facial recognition so you can keep your files under lock and key. Considering that not many budget options offer face lock, this is a welcome feature.

The variant that we have selected comes with a Folio case, so you should not be worried about wear and tear. Plus, you won’t have to buy a cover separately.

If you are looking for a tablet for toddlers or teens, then you can consider getting the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite.

Much like some of the best 8-inch tablets, this tablet has an HD+ resolution (1340 x 800p), which should look good on an 8.7-inch screen. Plus, the screen is framed with a durable metal frame, which protects the tablet against wear and tear – even when your kids use it.

Considering that you will be buying this tablet for your kids, the tablet offers “Samsung Kids,” – which is a kid-friendly app that gives you access to children’s content. With this, you can adjust your kids’ exposure to the internet and foster healthy internet habits.

As far as portability is concerned, the tablet weighs only 0.8 pounds, which should not be too bulky for kids. Plus, you get a massive battery that should last you for at least a few hours.

If you want a tablet primarily for streaming Netflix shows on the go, then you should check out the Amazon Fire HD tablet, which was released in 2023.

The tablet sports a 10.1-inch display, which is a nice sweet spot between smaller 7-inch displays and bigger 13-inch displays. Plus, much like some of the best 10-inch tablets, this one has an FHD resolution, so you can expect good picture quality while streaming your favorite shows.

The tablet runs on the Fire OS, so you can download most apps like Netflix, Prime Video, Kindle, and whatever apps you want to use on your tablet. Plus, this tablet has Amazon Kids, which lets you use parental controls. And if you subscribe to Amazon Kids+, you can get kid-friendly apps, games, and videos.

On the inside, the tablet has an octa-core processor, which promises 25% faster performance than the previous iteration of this tablet. Plus, you get 3GB of RAM and 64GB of storage space, so you should experience faster performance and get sufficient storage at the same time.

Aside from this, you get two useful features – support for Alexa and Amazon Stylus Pen. With Alexa, you will be able to get hands-free voice commands. Meanwhile, the Amazon Stylus lets you note down stuff and doodle whenever creativity strikes. However, note that the stylus pen is sold separately.

Amazon’s Fire HD 10 tablet is a great, affordable option for under $200. It’s fantastic for entertainment – mainly streaming. However,it’s not ideal for gaming, although that is to be expected with a tablet in this price range. The streaming is speedy and clean.

This is a good tablet for Microsoft app users – Office, Outlook and Teams all work super well on it. It comes with a lovely, bright display and 50% more RAM than the previous generation. However for more intensive work tasks like video editing, you might want to look elsewhere.
