Lenovo Tab M10 HD 2nd Gen – Best Tablets Under 10000

Lenovo Tab M10 HD 2nd Gen gives head-to-head competition to the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 for the title of the best tablets under 10000. It is a major overhaul from the first version of the M10 series with a new improved composition.

Specifications:

Display	10 inch 1280*800 pixels HD
Processor	MediaTek Octa-Core
Storage	32 GB (Expandable up to 256GB)
RAM	2 GB
Connectivity	Wi-Fi 5, 4G single sim

Build and Design:

The first noticeable attribute is the metallic body that adds some heft bit also much-needed durability to the tablet. Lenovo Tab M10 HD 2nd Gen comes with volume rockers and a power button and also doesn’t have a fingerprint sensor. You have to stick to face unlock for accessing the device.

Lenovo Tab M10 HD 2nd Gen has a micro USB Type-C connection port which is better than the USB 2.0 port of the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0. It also has a pogo pin connector for connection to an external keyboard which is not bundled in the box. The tablet does support Dolby Atmos and with the dual speaker setup, the audio levels are admissible.

Display:

Lenovo Tab M10 HD 2nd Gen uses an IPS display with an HD resolution of 1280*800 pixels. The major difference is the larger screen size though the pixel density remains more or less the same. The bezels are okayish and nothing exemplary to speak about. They are kept beefy to avoid accidental touches to the display.

Lenovo Tab M10 HD 2nd Gen display can go up to a brightness of 400 nits which is good for outdoor usage as well. The colors lose their sharpness as the brightness increases so it is advisable to use it in dim lighting conditions. It also comes with TUV Rhineland certification to ease the harsh blue light effects on your eyes.

Performance:

Lenovo Tab M10 HD 2nd Gen uses an octa-core MediaTek processor with 2 GB of LPDDR4X RAM which is comparable to the performance of the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 in most scenarios. The tablet is better at multitasking and doesn’t hand abruptly while using it. It comes with 32 gigs of storage that can be upped to 256 GB in case you try to expand the storage.

The best advantage of the latest Lenovo Tab M10 HD 2nd Gen is that it comes with Android 10 out of the box. It is a fairly new experience for tablet users as most of them are stuck with Android 8 or below.

Battery:

The 5000 mAh battery on the Lenovo Tab M10 HD 2nd Gen is adequate for 5-6 hours on moderate usage and charges slightly faster due to the USB Type-C port.

Verdict:

It comes with a dual-band Wi-Fi card and a 4G LTE sim card slot, so you aren’t limited to one form of connectivity.

Alcatel 3T8 – Best Tablets Under 10000

Alcatel 3T8 another popular bestseller in our lineup of the best tablets in India that comes with 4G sim support and direct voice calls out of the box.

Specifications:

Display	8 inch 1280*800 pixels HD
Processor	MediaTek Quad-Core
Storage	32 GB (Expandable up to 256GB)
RAM	2 GB
Connectivity	Wi-Fi 5, 4G single sim

Build and Design:

Alcatel 3T8 keeps it simple with no design surprises whatsoever. You get a plastic body that weighs approximately 300 grams with the battery included and can be held by both kids and adults for a long time. It comes with the latest generation connectivity options which are good if you are planning to upgrade to it now.

For wired connection and charging, the Alcatel 3T8 comes with a USB Type-C port. It also supports a 4G Volte sim card and comes with a Wi-Fi 5 card inbuilt which can help you take advantage of ultra-fast Wi-Fi speed. The tablet uses a dual speaker setup which is fine-tuned but the sound output is not very high. I would advise you to invest in a good earphone if you want to experience to the fullest.

Display:

Alcatel 3T8 uses an orthodox bezel scheme that displays no effort whatsoever has gone into the design of the display. It reminds you of the older generation smartphones from 2015 or so. The tablet comes with an eight-inch HD+ IPS display that is superior to the most basic LCD displays found in tablets of this price range.

With a resolution of 1280*800 pixels, HD content consumers will be a fulfilling experience on the Alcatel 3T8. The display gets adequately bright but not as likes of the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0.

Performance:

Alcatel 3T8 comes with a quad-core processor by MediaTek which is the bare minimum for any tablet running Android 10. Yes! It comes with Android 10 OS so that you can experience the latest and greatest features and security updates with your tablet. Alcatel 3T8 uses a 2 GB RAM module that is enough for light multitasking, gaming, and video output. If you try to run heavy graphics games like Shadow Fight 3, you will be disappointed with the lag.

Alcatel 3T8 comes with a 32GB ROM that can be upgraded to a micro SD card of up to 256 GB without any problem. It supports a FAT 32 TF card only. One little downside is that you get only 20 GB of usable space in the 32 GB ROM.

Battery:

Alcatel 3T8 comes with a 4080 mAh battery which far less than the Lenovo Tab M10 HD and the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0. It should last up to 5 hours on moderate usage and takes around the same time to charge with the 5V charger supplied with it.

Verdict:

Alcatel 3T8 2020 brings a lot of improvements over the previous iterations and is now a great option for users who like a lightweight tablet with full-fledged features. Its cameras are still disappointing like most of the tablets mentioned in our list of the best tablets under 10000 and need a major revamp. Apart from the sluggish battery charger and the camera, the Alcatel 3T8 justifies its price.

“Alcatel 3T8 packs latest connectivity options with a lightweight body.”

Panasonic Tab 8 HD – Best Tablets Under 10000

Panasonic Tab 8 HD is often an overlooked option when searching for one of the best tablets under 10000. It is packed with features and comes with more memory than any of the other tablets mentioned above.

Specifications:

Display	8 inch 1280*800 pixels HD
Processor	MediaTek Quad-Core
Storage	32 GB (Expandable up to 512GB)
RAM	3 GB
Connectivity	Wi-Fi, 4G dual sim

Build and Design:

Panasonic Tab 8 HD is not an eyesore, I guarantee that. It appears that no effort was paid in the design department. The tablet comes with dual sim card slots which are handy if you want to use it as a primary device and cycle between two 4G network providers. It weighs almost the same as the Alcatel tablet and won’t cause hand cramps even if you use it for long.

The connectivity options include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, both of which are older versions and provide lower connection speed. It uses a USB Type-C port for charging and also supports an OTG adaptor. The tablet comes with edge protection and a silicon case out of the box.

Display:

Panasonic Tab 8 HD comes with an HD display measuring 8 inches in size. The display is average at best and has some touch issues in a few variants that can be fixed using a GFX tool. The resolution is capped at 1280*800 and you can run HD content without any difficulty. Moving up to the full HD content isn’t pleasant at all.

The bezels are not narrow as you see on the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 and have an orthodox design. There are no capacitive buttons below the display.

Performance:

Panasonic Tab 8 HD uses a quad-core processor from Mediatek which is common in this price range. It runs most applications but falls short of the power if you try to run games or heavily multitask on it. The 3GB memory does bring a slight increase in power while multitasking but nothing praiseworthy.

Panasonic Tab 8 HD supports up to 512 GB memory card and comes with 32 GB onboard storage. So, storing your favorite media files and pictures isn’t a hassle on one of the best tablets under 10000.

Battery:

Panasonic Tab 8 HD has a 5000 mAh battery that can provide a runtime of 5 hours if you play it light. The charging time is around 4 hours if you wish to refill it from 0 to 100 percent.

Verdict:

Panasonic Tab 8 HD tries to stay relevant in our list of the best tablets under 10000 with its abundant storage and increase RAM. The tablet works well for most tasks but its display needs a tweak from the makers. There are many lingering complaints about the non-responsiveness of the display at times.

“Panasonic Tab 8 HD sports the largest RAM in this budget.”

Fusion 5 – Best Tablets Under 10000

Fusion 5 is a 4G tablet from a lesser-known brand that has a gigantic display size for the price. Its large display is its USP and one of the few major reasons to add it to our list of the best tablets under 10000.

Specifications:

Display	10 inch 1280*800 pixels HD
Processor	MediaTek Quad-Core
Storage	32 GB (Expandable up to )
RAM	2 GB
Connectivity	Wi-Fi, 4G single sim

Build and Design:

Fusion 5 is by no means a lightweight tablet. It has a 10-inch size which adds to the weight of the tablet making it around 400 grams or so. The tablet has a USB Type-C connection which is great but uses older generation Wi-Fi and Bluetooth version for connectivity. If you have a dual-band router the connection speed will still be capped.

Display:

Fusion 5 has a large display measuring 10.1 inches in size. The tablet has huge and uniform bezels with the vertically aligned selfie camera. It is a capacitive touchscreen with a resolution of 1280*800 pixels and can run HD content on it. The peak brightness and color gamut aren’t that impressive at higher brightness.

Performance:

Equipped with a Mediatek processor with four cores, the tablet has the bare minimum spec sheet for the best tablets under 10000. It has 2 GB RAM which is enough for a few applications running in the background. Fusion 5 doesn’t have a large memory extension capacity like the Samsung Galaxy Tab A and only supports an external memory card of up to 128 GB. If storage is a priority I would suggest you skip this one in our lineup of the best tablets under 10000.

Battery:

Fusion 5 has a large 5000 mAh battery and the tablet claims a battery life of 8 hours but I would expect not more than 4 hours from it.

Verdict:

Fusion 5 is a pseudo premium offering from a relatively newer brand. It has a large display and comes with a leather case bundled with the tablet. The major flaw is the weak processor and the older Android 8.1 operating system which makes it rank so low on our list of the best tablets in India.

“Fusion 5 packs one of the largest displays with a bundled leather case.”
