The budget Android tablet I recommend has a dazzling display - and it's on sale for Black Friday
Source: Zdnet.com English
It's easy to imagine a budget tablet as a cheap chunk of plastic and glass, with a mediocre processor and display and a battery that can barely last a morning. The Blackview Mega 1 is nothing like this. It's a tablet with a premium feel that offers a hardware experience that would have commanded a high price only a few years ago. From its thin and light design to the 11.5-inch 120Hz display, this tablet oozes quality and delivers a great user experience.

Should you buy a cheap Android tablet from Amazon? This model is a surprisingly viable option (and the price is slashed for Amazon Prime Day)
Source: Zdnet.com English
Now, let's talk about the price. The Blackview Mega 2 is priced at $329 on Amazon (but discounted to $199 with the clip-on coupon) or $241 directly from Blackview (excluding shipping and additional taxes). For comparison, the new iPad starts at $449 for the equivalent Wi-Fi + cellular version with 256GB of storage. At this price point, the Mega 2 is a solid tablet packed with potential -- especially if you take advantage of the extra 24GB of expandable RAM. The caveat here is Android versus iPadOS, which is more intuitive and reliable. A few years ago, a tablet with these features would have cost a small fortune. But thanks to the rapid pace of technological advancements, you can now get a capable device like the Mega 2 at a budget-friendly price. While it's not the fastest tablet by any measure, the Mega 2 is still more tablet than most people need.

Blackview:

This brand from the Blackview International Group was created in Hong Kong in 2013. Smartphones are the focus of marketing.

However, there are only few reviews and the market shares are very low (2016).


Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

ARM Mali-G57 MP2: Integrated mid range graphics card with 2 clusters. Based on the Valhall architecture.

ARM Mali-G57 MP1: Integrated mid range graphics card with 1 clusters. Based on the Valhall architecture.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


Mediatek Mediatek Helio G:

Integrates a Cat-13 LTE Modem (4G) and a ARM Mali-G57 MP2 graphics card. Compared to the older Helio G96, the G99 is manufactured in the more recent 6nm process and clocks higher.

Helio G99: ARM-based octa-core SoC (2x Cortex-A76, 6x Cortex-A55) with 64-bit support and up to 2.2 GHz clock rate for smartphones and tablets. Integrates a Cat-13 4G LTE modem. In contrast to the MediaTek Helio G96, the G99 is manufactured using the more modern 6nm process and has a higher clock rate.

UNISOC :

12.00:

This range of display format is largely the upper limit for tablets and the lower limit for subnotebooks.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small in size and therefore easily portable. The tiny display has the added advantage of requiring little power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is exhausting for the eyes. High resolutions, which one is used to from a standard laptop, are almost not usable.

The same applies to tablets in this size range.

13.00:

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
