Best 10" tablet?

Iristxo · 2012-09-12 22:04:16

I have a budget up to 250 euros but if I spent less, it would be even better. I want a tablet to use more or less like my iphone: email, reading books, watching films and online series, nothing too fancy. I was looking at the Nexus and the Blackberry playbook but I really prefer the 10 inch size. Any recommendations…

There is a thread here where a lot of people bought the Zenithink a while ago, you might be able to get some feedback form some of the posters there who bought that tab.

I've just bought a Cube U20GT for my son, it's got a faster processor than your 3rd choice and also has a Gorilla glass screen. I haven't used it other than to give it a check over when it arrived yesterday as it's a birthday present for him, so I'm afraid I can't give you much feedback other than to say that it is running Android 4.0 ICS and is very quick and responsive. Youtube works perfectly in the stock browser so it has Flash support out of the box.

Apart from the gorilla glass a big consideration for me was that it has a large capacity battery pack 7600mAh so the battery life should be excellent.

Build quality seems to be pretty good.

I ordered it from Aliexpress last Friday and it arrived yesterday with DHL so quick delivery but the downside is I got stung for €30 VAT and handling. So in total the tab cost about €180 all in.

Thank you, do-more. After much consideration I think I am going to go for this:

Seems to be great value for money and gets good reviews all around.

Pretty mixed reviews I'd say
