OnePlus’ Pad 4 somehow packs a gorgeous 13,2’’ display, 8 speakers and the newest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip at just a $669 price. Not only that, OnePlus even offers a new stylus that matches the Apple Pencil Pro on paper. If the spec sheet doesn’t lie, there’s almost no point in buying an iPad Air anymore. I spent the last 3 weeks testing the OnePlus Pad 4 nonstop. I used it for work, at home for streaming and, of course, for gaming.

Remember phablets? A mix of phone and tablet. Alldocube is trying to resurrect the giant smartphone era with the iPlay 80 Mini Ultra. It’s a brand new 8,8’’ 5G gaming tablet that doubles as a smartphone. And best of all, the price starts at just $380. All that sounds great on paper. But can you actually trust that Alldocube didn’t cut major corners to hit a lower price? That’s what we investigated over the past 3 weeks.

Let’s be honest: shopping for an affordable Android tablet is usually an exercise in managing disappointment. Most options under 11 inches leave you drowning in buyers’ remorse, thanks to laggy processors, fuzzy screens, and builds that feel like cheap toys. Enter the Redmi Pad 2 9.7. Priced at 189 Euros, it still offers premium features like a high-refresh display.

Huawei built the world’s most advanced tablet. The MatePad Pro Max is the thinnest, lightest 13’’+ tablet on the market, it has a brilliant OLED display with a matte coating and the best tablet speakers we’ve ever tested, so why can’t we recommend it? Over the past 2 weeks, I’ve spent hours testing everything from Netflix streaming, gaming, working and even taking photos with the MatePad. And there’s a very, very big flaw that made the entire experience nearly unusable. Let’s get into it.

The Lenovo Idea Tab Pro Gen 2 just released, and it’s a great value tablet with solid performance and most importantly, a 13 inch display. So today we’re comparing it to the OnePlus Pad 3 and Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE+,2 other affordable 13’’+ tablets, to see which one is the best big tablet for the money. We’ll start with the best tablet overall, then for students, then best for entertainment, best for gamers, best for work, and finally best price-performance.

If you want a rugged tablet that you can bring with you on a construction site, then Lenovo has got just the thing for you. The ThinkTab X11 is a rugged, unique tablet with a removable battery that looks as if a ThinkPad laptop and a Samsung Galaxy Tab Active tablet had a baby. And over the past 2 weeks, we’ve been testing it rigorously for work, studying and entertainment. It has plenty of exciting features, but also one thing that really bothers us. Let’s get into it.

The Honor MagicPad 4 is the thinnest tablet in the world at just 4.8 millimeters, with insanely slim display bezels and an OLED panel that hits up to 2,400 nits. When Honor announced it at Mobile World Congress, I was genuinely excited. I’ve spent a few weeks with it now, tested it extensively, and compared it head to head with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 and the OnePlus Pad 3. And I’ll tell you this right off the bat: in one specific area, the MagicPad 4 actually beats Samsung’s ultimate flagship.

Should you get a MacBook or an iPad? At $599, the Neo costs exactly the same as the iPad Air 2026, and nearly the same as the base iPad 11 with a keyboard and stylus. So which one’s better for whom? That’s what you learn in this comparison. Let’s talk pricing first. The base iPad is the cheapest of the bunch, starting at $349. The official keyboard will run you another $249. That already costs you $598. Add on the cheapest Apple Pencil and you’re spending $677 for the whole package.

Is the new iPad Air a real upgrade over the iPad Air M3, and is it even worth buying compared to the base iPad 11, or the iPad Pro M5? To find that out, we spend the last 2 weeks using both the 11’’ and 13’’ tablets almost daily. I used it at home for streaming videos and TV shows, for gaming and editing videos, and I even wrote this review on the new iPad Air. And spoilers: there’s a very clear reason why you should get this year’s iPad Air instead of the base iPad and iPad Pro.

It’s 2026, and Samsung is making the choice for a mid-range tablet harder than ever. On one side, we have the Samsung Galaxy Tab A11+, a nice budget tablet that you can find for under $250. On the other side is the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Lite, which you can get for $350. We took another deep dive and compared both tablets, and realized they differ in one fundamental way. For some people, the A11+ will be the clear winner.
