Looking for affordable iPad alternatives? Look no further! Stiftung Warentest has identified several strong options for you.
First up, the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro (Gen.2) and Lenovo Tab P11 (Gen. 2) are two excellent mid-range choices. With display sizes between 9.7 and 11.8 inches, these tablets offer impressive performance and versatility. The Lenovo Tab P11 Pro scores a commendable 1.9 overall, with its 11.2-inch display and functions, endurance, and handling receiving high marks. Although versatility is only rated as satisfactory, this tablet can be yours for around 480 euros. If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, the Lenovo Tab P11 with an 11.4-inch screen scores 2.2 and retails for just 230 euros.
If you're looking for a larger tablet, the Xiaomi Redmi Tab is a strong contender. With a quality rating of 2.2, this tablet stands out for its great endurance, 10.6-inch panel, and functionality, and can be found for just under 200 euros.
For a more affordable choice, the Huawei MatePad SE is still a worthy alternative. The 10.3-inch display is passable, and the tablet performs well in all other categories with a score of 2.5, priced at only 170 euros.
Lastly, if size really matters, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra 5G and Lenovo Yoga Tab 13 are the best bets. The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra 5G is the uncontested champion in the large tablet market, reproducing a 14.4-inch display with extraordinary clarity and dazzling colors. With an impressive list of features and outstanding performance, the tablet retails for around 1100 euros. However, if that's too rich for your blood, the Lenovo Yoga Tab 13 is a significantly more affordable option. The 13-inch display is equally impressive, and the tablet is available for as little as 500 euros.
Technological tests carried out by Stiftung Warentest suggest that some Android tablets – such as the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro and Lenovo Tab P11 – offer budget-friendly alternatives to Apple's iPads with outstanding results.
Don't overlook lesser-known alternatives like the Amazon Fire HD 8 (2024), Redmi Pad Pro, Honor Pad 9, Lenovo Tab P12, and Besttab A20. These budget-friendly options provide great features and performance, catering to a variety of preferences and budgets. This shows that you don't have to splurge on an iPad to enjoy a high-quality tablet experience.
