All tablets are not created equal. Some are great, others are a lesson. Do not just purchase a tablet based on face value, that will be a grave mistake. It may be a lesson waiting to happen.

If you have been keen, you may have heard horror stories from those who opted to buy some cheap knock-offs from River Road. It’s almost laughable.

Who said you have to rob a bank to buy an awesome tablet in Kenya? Forget those cheap-looking tablets that you see people holding during family gatherings. There is better where these came from.

There are many tablets in the market but only a few deliver on their promise. This article suggests top five tablets you can buy in Kenya for under 20k.

1. Samsung Galaxy Tab A

Price: Ksh. 17,550

Shop: Jumia

This tablet sports an IPD LCD capacitive screen display of 7.0-inches, 800×1280 pixels resolution (216ppi pixel density).

It comes with Android 5.1.1 out of the box but you can always upgrade to Android 6.0 Marshmallow for a better experience.

Other important features are 1.5GB RAM, 8GB internal memory, Quad-core processor, 5MP back camera and 2MP front-facing camera.

The massive 4,000mAh battery should be good enough for your use, especially heavy users.

2. Huawei MediaPad T1

Price: Ksh. 10,999

Shop: Jumia

This is a fairly priced tablet with fair specifications. The device comes with a 7-Inch IPS LCD capacitive screen and 600×1024 pixels (170ppi).

It runs on Android 4.4.2 Kitkat (that’s like four OS’s ago though), quad-core 1.2GHz processor, 1GB RAM, 8GB ROM, 2MP for both the back and front-facing camera.

The tablet is powered by a 4,100mAh battery. That’s definitely acceptable.

3. Asus ZenPad C 7

Price: Ksh. 14,500

Shop: Phone Place Kenya

Asus ZenPad C 7 comes with an IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen of 7.0-inch screen display and 600×1024 pixels (170ppi pixel density).
