We do not recommend cheap Android tablets at all, unless you cannot afford an iPad, or don’t want to be a part of Apple’s walled garden. Android tablets are essentially entry-level phones with large sub-par displays and messed up software. Samsung rules this segment because it tries to make the software a bit more productive. However, the tablet segment under Rs. 25,000 hasn’t seen any exciting announcement, until Motorola jumped in with the Motorola Tab G70 LTE.
