Buying a tablet is no longer an expensive proposition.
In fact today you can get a tablet for less than 5k but with low prices comes certain compromises on design and performance. To ensure that you get the most tablet bang for your buck, here are a few points to keep in mind when you venture forth to purchase a low cost tablet
DISPLAY:
It is not just a matter of screen size, one should also check the touch of the display and its resolution. Generally a capacitive touchscreen provides a better experience and as for resolution, the higher it is, the better your tablet experience.
OPERATING SYSTEM
The essence of a device is its operating system(os). Always try to get a tablet running as recent an os as possible. It will not only support newer apps but will also get obsolete for a while and will generally operate more smoothly.
PROCESSOR
Gauging a processor these days is a difficult task, with even multi-core processor tablets being available for less than 10k while nothing beats actual experience, we would once again recommend the "more is better" rule here. We would recommend not going for anything with less than 1ghz of processing muscle really.
BATTERY LIFE
The best of tablets is of little use if you spend more time charging it than using it. Again, there are no concerte figures, but in general, a 3,000 MAH will provide around six hours of back up over wifi, again , the rule e thumb here is- more is better!
CONNECTIVITY
Not too long ago, getting a budget tablet with SIM Card support was a rarity. That, fortunately has changed and today you can get tablets that cost less than 5k and some with sim card slots.
CAMERAS
No, we are not convinced that tablets are great for taking pictures but that is no reason why you should not to pay attention to its camera. We would advise not going by the megapixel count and actually taking some sample shots to check for clarity. As a general rule, anything below 3.2 megapixel will not really deliver images worth viewing or sharing.
