The best Android tablet for under $200?

The best Android tablet for under $200?

1. What do you want the tablet for?
If you want to be running the latest and greatest releases, playing games etc etc then you’ll have to cough up a lot more than $200. If you want something to browse the web and play web videos etc, then you may well be able to get away with something around the $200 mark.

2. Work out what features you must have and what features would be nice and what you can live without.
What version of Android would be ok?

3. What size screen/resolution do you want?
The best one is a larger screen of around 10 inches, it would be better and you can feel the higher resolution means there is more you can do with it. Of course larger screen means you lose out on other features for the same price and portability is reduced.

Sometimes, these advertisements for applications have hidden or strategically placed conditions, that do charge you eventually, and sometimes, they can actually be hacking software for mobile phones.
