The Rs 30,000 price range in the Indian tablet market is highly contested right now with brands launching multiple well-rounded devices in this segment. In this price range, customers are usually looking for tablets with a high-resolution, bright display along with seamless performance and great battery life. So, we have compiled a list of tablets that deliver on all these fronts.
Best tablets under ₹30,000
1. Apple iPad 10.2 9th Gen
Apple is the current market leader in global tablet sales, which is mostly thanks to its stylish feature-packed devices and unparalleled software experience on tablets. Considering all that, it is easy to see why the Apple iPad 9th Gen which debuted in 2021 is our best pick on this list.
The tablet has the A13 Bionic chipset that powers the iPhone 11, paired with a 10.2-inch 2160×1620 pixels True Tone Liquid Retina display. It also features the best cameras in the segment. The only downside to this tablet is the internal storage, as this device comes with just 64GB of storage. The tablet has a retail price of 30,500 in India but is usually on sale for ₹27,900 on vendors like Amazon and Chroma.
2. Xiaomi Pad 5
Moving over to the Android camp, the Xiaomi Pad 5 is the best Android tablet on the market in this price range. It features a beautiful 11-inch 2.5K display (1600 x 2560 pixels) with a 500nits typical brightness and 120Hz refresh rate.
Under the hood, the tablet has a powerful Snapdragon 860 chipset that can easily handle popular titles like BGMI with ease. It also comes with the Android 11-based MIUI for Pad which as the name suggests has been optimized for tablets. It also has a quad-speaker setup with Dolby Atmos support. The tablet is available in two variants. The 6GB+128GB configuration is priced at ₹26,999 while the 6GB+256GB configuration costs ₹28,999.
3. Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite 2022 edition
The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is quite identical to its predecessor with the one difference being the chipset. Instead of being powered by an Exynos SoC, the Tab S6 Lite 2022 has the Snapdragon 720G chipset. The tablet has a 10.4-inch TFT LCD display with 2000 x 1200p resolution and supports up to 16 million colors.
It has 4GB of RAM with 64GB of internal storage but gets access to a memory card slot that can expand its storage by up to 1TB. It also gets AKG-tuned Dual stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, but the most attractive feature of the tablet is that it comes with an S Pen stylus bundled in the box. Another major plus point for the tablet is that it ships with the Android 12-based One UI 4.1. The tablet is available in a WiFi-only model for ₹25499 on Samsung’s website, while the LTE model is expected to arrive soon in the country.
4. Lenovo Ideapad Duet Chromebook
For our last pick in the list, we’ve added a Chrome OS tablet. The Ideapad Duet Chromebook launched 2-years ago, however, it will continue to receive software updates from Google until June 2028.
The tablet has a 10.1-inch LCD screen (1920 x 1200 pixels), MediaTek Helio P60T chip, LPDDR4x RAM, eMMC 5.1 storage, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 4.2, 8MP rear camera, 2MP front-facing camera, dual stereo speakers, and a 7,180mAh battery. It could be said that this is the best choice for students in this price range as it ships with a kickstand case and a keyboard accessory in the box. The 4GB + 128GB model costs around ₹25,000.
