Best Android Tablets In India Under Rs. 30,000

1. Redmi Pad 2 Pro (128GB, Wi-Fi)

The newly launched Redmi Pad 2 Pro is the first entrant in our best Android tablets under Rs. 30,000, and for a couple of good reasons. If you want a big-screen tablet with a powerful chipset and a large battery so you can take notes, consume content, or multitask on the go, this could be the ideal option.

First, it features a large 12.1-inch IPS LCD screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. Powering the mid-range Android tablet is the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 (4nm) SoC, one of the most powerful chipsets in the segment, enabling smooth multitasking. Furthermore, the tablet is powered by a 12,000 mAh battery that supports 33W fast charging.

The Redmi Pad 2 Pro is the only entrant on this list to offer a 256GB storage variant with 5G connectivity, priced just under Rs. 30,000. I’d say the device provides the best value for your money under RS. 30,000.

2. OnePlus Pad Go 2 (128GB, Wi-Fi)

Next on the list of the best Android tablets under Rs. 30,000 is the OnePlus Pad Go 2, priced at Rs. 26,999 for the base variant with 128GB of storage.

The device is slightly more premium, featuring relatively thin bezels and a metallic frame. However, you should buy it for its vibrant 12.1-inch IPS screen (900 nits peak brightness) and its powerful quad-speaker setup, which makes consuming content or listening to music a delightful experience.

The device is powered by the Dimensity 7300 Ultra chipset, which can handle moderate multitasking with ease. You also get a 10,050 mAh battery that provides around 10-12 hours of screen-on time in Wi-Fi-only mode. Finally, the ColorOS 16 delivers a refined, clean, and smooth user experience (mostly free of bloatware).

The OnePlus Pad Go 2’s 256GB storage variant (Wi-Fi only) costs just under Rs. 30,000, in case you want to check that out.

3. Xiaomi Pad 7 (128GB, Wi-Fi)

If you’re looking for a slightly smaller Android tablet, the Xiaomi Pad 7, with its 11.2-inch screen, could be the ideal fit under Rs. 30,000.

The screen is a tad smaller than the other contenders in this list so far, but it is significantly sharper (344 ppi), supports 800 nits of peak brightness, a maximum refresh rate of 144Hz (making it the smoothest display in this list), and is protected by the Corning Gorilla Glass 3.

Under the hood, the tablet is powered by the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 SoC, which delivers enough performance for multitasking, casual gaming, and light editing. There’s an 8,850 mAh battery that supports 45W wired charging and delivers a day’s worth of usage.

The 12GB + 256GB variant of the Xiaomi Pad 7 costs Rs. 30,999.

4. Galaxy Tab S10 Lite (128GB, Wi-Fi)

Next on the list of the best Android tablets under Rs. 30,000 is the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite (128GB, Wi-Fi-only variant), which highlights a 10.9-inch 120Hz LCD screen and a free S-Pen in the box.

Samsung’s Exynos 1380 SoC powers the tablet. While it’s not the most powerful chipset in the segment, it handles day-to-day tasks and multitasking with ease. The tablet is powered by an 8,000 mAh battery that supports 25W wired charging.

What sets the tablet apart is Samsung’s commitment to provide seven years of operating system updates. So, if you’re looking for a tablet that lasts longer (three to four years without significant hiccups) and gets the latest Android and security version, consider this one.

5. Moto Pad 60 Pro (128GB, Wi-Fi)

Before we conclude our list of the best Android tablets under Rs. 30,000 with the last entrant, the Moto Pad 60 Pro, we have reserved a spot for its massive 12.7-inch LCD screen.

If you want the biggest possible screen on an Android tablet in your budget, the Moto Pad 60 Pro is the way to go. Its 12.7-inch LCD screen offers a sharp resolution, 400 nits of HBM brightness, and a 144Hz refresh rate. The tablet runs on a relatively capable chipset, the Dimensity 8300, and offers a massive 10,200 mAh battery that supports 45W wired charging.

6. iPad 11th Gen (128GB, Wi-Fi)

Usually priced at Rs. 32,990, the baseline iPad (128GB, Wi-Fi) often sees price cuts, bringing its discount to sub-Rs. 30,000 category. If you want an iPad that’s a jack-of-all-trades (multitasking, gaming, video editing) but you’re on a tight budget, the A16 iPad is the way to go.

Right off the bat, the iPad features a contemporary design (it no longer has a Home button). Furthermore, it offers an 11-inch Liquid Retina display (limited to 60Hz) with stereo speakers. The tablet is powered by Apple’s A16 Bionic chip, which delivers enough power to edit basic videos smoothly. It features a 7,819 mAh battery that easily lasts an entire day of moderate use.

Like other Apple devices, this one will also get robust software support. Expect smooth performance from the device for another three to four years. Finally, it offers excellent connectivity with other Apple devices, including iPhone, MacBook, AirPods, and Apple Watch.

If you’re either entering the Apple ecosystem or plan to do so in the near future and want to start with a tablet, this is the ideal device to go ahead with.
