Best Cheap Tablets under $100 in 2023 – Top Picks

The Lenovo Tab M8 (4th Gen) is a great option in our best cheap tablets under $100 list. It comes in with a mid-tier price range of $79 at the time of writing. It normally costs $109, but is cheaper right now! This tablet is the clear winner from our list regarding battery life. If you value a long battery life, this is your best option. This tablet from Lenovo has a stunning battery life of 16 hours!
It also has a top spot for the rear camera with 5 megapixels. However, it shares that spot with 3 other tablets. The internal storage of 32 GB can be extended with a microSD card of up to 2 TB.

With 2 GB of RAM, it is on the lower end of the picked tablets. This is a great tablet for simple tasks like web browsing and social games. You might want to look at a different high-end tablet for more intense tasks, such as games with a higher performance requirement.

Conclusion

This tablet is super lightweight. With just 11.4 ounces, it is a lightweight tablet that will not feel heavy, even if you use it for several hours. Of course, I also love the battery life! We have to charge so many devices daily now. It feels good not having to charge this tablet after every use.
With a bit more GB RAM, it could take on a few more complex tasks, but if you don’t need that, this tablet is a really good deal.

The Lenovo Tab M8 (3rd Gen) is very similar to the 4th Gen model. It has the same front and rear camera with 2MP and 5MP, respectively. With $89, it is a bit cheaper than the regular listing price of $108 for the 4th Gen model. The screen size of 8″ is identical, and so is the resolution of 1280×800.

This tablet comes with 3 GB of RAM. But the battery life is shorter, at 7 hours. The 8 core processor running at 2.3 gigahertz has more than enough power. The internal storage of 32 GB can be extended with a microSD card of up to 2 TB.

Conclusion

Almost every aspect of this tablet is comparable with its 4th-generation counterpart. You still get an excellent tablet that can get the job done.
The weight is also smaller at 10.7 ounces, which is a plus. The processor and memory are actually larger in comparison.

The Lenovo Tab M7 is among the cheapest options in my list of best cheap tablets under $100. It was first sold in 2021 and is an older model. At the time of writing, it costs only $59.
A notable difference to all other tablets is that you charge it with a Micro USB cable. All other tablets are using the newer USB-C connector.

The front and rear cameras both have 2 MP. This is enough to do video chats, but if you want to take some nice pictures with your tablet, you might want to look for a better camera. The 32 GB of internal storage can be extended with a microSD card of up to 2 TB.

Conclusion

Because it is cheap, it is likely best used for simple tasks like browsing. If you aren’t doing more than that, this is your best choice on a shoestring budget. With a 10-hour battery life, it is in the middle field of all the tablets in the list.
Its weight of 14.4 ounces makes it more heavy than the newer M8 models.

The tablet options from Amazon are all very popular. But it doesn’t always have to be the newest version. With the Amazon Fire 7 from 2022, you get a small tablet with a 7″ screen diagonal at a 1024×600 resolution. It is one of the best budget tablets on the list, with a very affordable price of $58!

Keep in mind that it only comes with 16 GB of storage. There is also a 32 GB version available for $78, tough. For even more storage, you can install an external microSD card with up to 1 TB of additional storage.

This tablet is the most lightweight, with 9.9 ounces total weight. You will not find a better deal if weight is your primary feature.

The 2 GHz quad-core processor in this model provides a good speed, enough for simple tasks.

Conclusion

If you are looking for a cheap entry-level tablet, this is a wonderful pick. It is the cheapest tablet on the list. With 16 GB, it is limited in the amount of storage, but there is a larger 32 GB version available.

The Amazon Fire HD 8 from 2022 is an excellent tablet. It has the most powerful processor of all tablets on this list. It runs with 6 cores at 2 GHz. A good front and rear camera with 2 MP and 5 MP will make your video calls a breeze. The tablet is lightweight, with 11.88 ounces, and has a notable battery life of 13 hours. It’s the perfect tablet for on-the-go.

This tablet offers an 8″ screen with 1280×800 screen resolution. You can stream your favorite shows on Netflix, Hulu, or any other streaming service.

You can upgrade your storage capacity from 32 GB to 64 GB for a bit more money. This might be an option if you want to store more images, videos, or music. However, you can also install an external microSD card of up to 1 TB of storage.

Conclusion

Fire Tablets from Amazon are always a good choice. They are known for being reliable and responsive. The Amazon Fire 8 is no exception. If you have $100 available, look at this tablet’s great value. Besides the apparent browsing, reading, listening to music, and streaming video, you can play games with this tablet. Maybe not the most graphics-heavy, but not every game needs the best tablet to run nicely.

What I like the most about this tablet is the combination of power and battery life. It strikes a nice balance by running up to 13 hours on a single charge.

With this tablet, you get a real deal! It comes with a whopping 8GB of RAM, far exceeding all the other tablets on the list! It also has the most internal storage with 64GB.

There are two important things to note: The battery life is on the lower end, with 6 hours per charge. It’s also one of the heavier tablets with 22.4 ounces. For a device you primarily use at home, that might be completely fine. For usage on the road, it could become more of a chore to keep it charged.

Conclusion

I really like the price of $69 compared to the performance and power you get. This tablet is definitely in the top area of all tablets on this list in terms of performance.
The rear camera, as well as the front camera, are only coming in at 2 MP, though. Taking awesome photos isn’t exactly a strength with the Newision Android Tablet. For this usecase, there are better options available.

This tablet is the only one on this list with a 10″ screen diagonal. If you are looking for the largest screen possible, this is your tablet!

The 6000 mah battery provides 7 hours of battery life on a single charge. Definitely on the lower end of the list. It is also the heaviest tablet on the list, with 25.6 ounces. Given the size of the tablet, this might not come as a huge surprise, though.

The Winsing Android Tablet is powered by a 1.6 GHz 4-core ARM Processor and has 2 GB of RAM installed.

Conclusion

Perhaps the biggest plus of this tablet is its price! For only $57.89, you get a large screen and enough power to make your user experience excellent. You will also get a decent camera with 2MP/5MP front and rear. I think this tablet is a really good option to consider if you don’t mind getting a lesser-known brand name!
