Best Android Tablet for around $100?

CryssieJade on 07/04/2015 - 22:22

Hi all,

I might be asking a lot for my price range, but I'm looking for a 7" or 8" tablet I can buy from a BRICKS AND MORTAR store, around the $100 mark (slightly extra is okay).

I'm not looking for anything fancy, but I do require the best screen resolution I can get for the price, plus USB on the go capabilities.

All help appreciated!!
Cheers :)

    Pendopad?

    You could get anything fancy for ~$100 at a b&m store.

      Haha, probably

      Pretty much anything is fancy compared to my current Optus V9 ZTE tablet (yep, still got it!!)

      However, doesn't Pendopad have terrible screen quality?

    Go and do rounds at ALDI stores at their not sold electrical/pc items. There are normally in a glass locked cabinets. You may have to look through a number of stores.

    ALso check out the clearence cabinets at Big W and even better the service counter at Coles where you may need to ask. Last clearence in local store thus not ozbargained was pendo with Avenger theme.

      Cheers Kevan2, I have been taking a peek when I visit Aldi. Can't really 'do the rounds' too well without a car tho!! There was one that looked decent, but was 10"

      I haven't yet tried Coles on a serious level, the Pendopads keep coming up, but I'm not that convinced with them…unless they are practically giving them away

    Check target, they have couples of no-brand tablets around $80. Try to play with it in store if you are happy with it buy it.

    Spend a little bit more and get the Nexus 7 (2013), it will save you headaches ($$$) later on. Plus, amazing screen.

    If it's out of your price range, get the 2012 edition.

      Thanks, but I won't buy one for the same reason I won't buy an iPad (which I would prefer)…

      I want expandable memory for next to nix.

        I see, I use a 64GB OTG USB flash drive in mine, so it's not much of an issue.

        Ideally, expandable memory inside the device is better, but this is the next best option.

          Ahhhh, okay I see…
          That could work :)
