Default what tablet

Looking at getting a cheap table, only real requiremets are android, 7 inch and must have bluetooth, 8gb or 16gb is fine.

seems to be you can pick them up for as low as £25 on amazon now, anyone tried these cheap ones?

summit like this,

Dragon Touch Y88X 7'' Tablet PC Quad Core Google Android 4.4 KitKat, Allwinner A33 Cortex A7, Dual Camera, HD 1024x600 Multi-touch Screen, 8GB Nand Flash, Google Play Pre-loaded, WiFi, 3D Game Supported: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories Dragon Touch Y88X 7'' Tablet PC Quad Core Google Android 4.4 KitKat, Allwinner A33 Cortex A7, Dual Camera, HD 1024x600 Multi-touch Screen, 8GB Nand Flash, Google Play Pre-loaded, WiFi, 3D Game Supported: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

I wouldn't buy cheap no name tablets. I bought similar ones before for the kids, they were crap, poorly built and only lasted a few months of use, the battery died and the charging socket broke on another. Got Tesco Hudl for the kids last Christmas and still going strong and get them cheaper using club card points.

You could have had a refurb Hudl2 from Tescos for £99 or £89 with a new customer £10 off code:

Nexus 7. End of. It works, battery lasts ages and is well made.

Mine has now been stolen by my 3 and half year old son now. Hill Climb Racing is so bloody addictive and I have to spent many spare evenings collecting coins to buy new cars/tracks.

Nexus 7 is not sold any more, Google stopped making it and any left are over inflated prices. They were going on clearance for £99 at a lot of places back in November including Sainsburys.

I would have recommended the Hudl2, Ive bought three for my daughters and they are more than capable of playing intensive games and browsers etc are pretty good.

I've just bought a Hudl2 and for the money it's bloody good! OK so it's at the lower end of the market but it seems solid enough to me. I paid £60 cash as I had some Tesco vouchers kicking around and for that kind of money it is incredible value.

My first forray into "Tablets and Android" so I had a bit of a learning curve but had no problems guessing my way round the navigation and by watching a few videos I'm now comfortable after an hour or so.

Now I see why desktop PC's are losing their grip for every day users that just need to browse 'Tinternet and email

Was a real eye opener for me

Hudl2 for me, i've been well impressed with mine. The wife has a Nexus 7 2012 model and that's been gathering dust ever since we got the Hudl2 as we have 2 profiles on it and it's just so much faster and nicer to use with the slightly bigger full HD screen.
