TaoHaoHuo 10 Inch Android Tablet

 
The 10" TaoHaoHuo has an A33 Quad Core Cortex-A7 Processor, which consists of 4 x 1.3Ghz Cores. It also has Mali-400, which is basically a built-in graphics card, but in many ways a much cleverer one that is a perfect match for the TaoHaoHuo's A33 Quad Core Quad Core Processor.

TaoHaoHuo-10-inch-Tablet-PC

This TaoHaoHuo has now been discontinued. See an alternative here.

The operating system installed on this Tablet is Android Kit Kat. A lot of the cheaper Tablets have an 8GB hard drive and 512MB RAM but this one has double that with 16GB of internal storage and 1GB RAM (DDR2). Perfect for all the usual things like playing games, watching films, Apps, reading books, music, Interneting, and doing Afterschool studies! Get yourself an add-on external keyboard and mouse and it becomes a mini-laptop. A cheap little workhorse.

Bluetooth and USB On The Go are present. The 10 Inch TaoHaoHuo Tablet also supports an external 3G device (dongle). The Dual cameras are the same basic quality that most of the cheap Tablets have. A third of a megapixel front facing camera, and a 2MP camera at the back. Overall this is a great little package for the low price. And taking into consideration the specifications, this Tablet will should be a good multi-tasker for the price.

Another potential bonus depending on the quality of the lithium Ion battery itself is that the battery in this Tablet has a bigger capacity than a lot of the other Tablets have that fall within this price range. The battery is 5000mAh. Whether or not that converts into the battery actually lasting longer will be down to the user to determine from using the Tablet daily. Reviews are good. And there's a 12 month UK warranty included for peace of mind.

Fusion5 7 Inch Quad Core IPS Tablet

 
A Fusion5 Tablet was included on the previous list, and it was a bigger sized Tablet (9 Inch) than this 7 Inch model. However, this 7 Inch Fusion5 Tablet is an updated version in more ways than one. Being one of the updated models, It has slightly tougher, more durable build quality. And also has many of the latest features that are seen in other Tablets from different brands currently new on the market, like an IPS display and the latest Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system (Now PIE). If you're not aware, an IPS (In-Plane Switching) display basically means better, more vivid colours and the ability to see what is displayed on the Tablets screen more clearly when looking at the screen from obscure angles. The Tablet is around half an inch is thickness.


The Fusion5 7 Inch Tablet also has 1GB RAM and a built-in 8GB of Flash storage space (Upgradable to 32GB maximum). The Quad Core Processor is made up of 4 x 1.2Ghz Processors. This is an excellent little Tablet that has impressive reviews. But then again, most Fusion5 Tablets do have good reviews. The Fusion5 7 Inch will be more than enough for most people who want to read books, play games, surf the Internet, Youtube etc, with a fast and responsive Tablet that won't break the bank.

Comes with mini USB cable and charger. This Tablet, like the rest from Fusion5, comes with a 1 year warranty included. It also has all the usual features most cheap Tablets have like dual cameras, 3.5mm headphone jack, micro SD card slot etc. But please note: This Tablet does not have Bluetooth or GPS. Still a great deal.

Tabtronics KAPOW 7'' Childrens Android Tablet Bundle

 
If you're looking for an excellent little Tablet bundle deal to give to a child as a gift, this Tabtronics KAPOW 7 Inch Android Tablet Bundle is going to be hard to beat. For £50 you get a fairly powerful, responsive 7 Inch Tablet, a neat little Tablet case, and a pair of kids headphones.The Tabtronics KAPOW 7 Inch Tablet has an A33 Quad Core Processor (4 x 1.2Ghz Cores), Android Kit Kat 4.4 Operating System, 8GB hard drive, 512MB RAM, Bluetooth, WiFi, built-in microphone, 3.5mm headphone jack, Micro SD card slot and dual cameras.
 
TABTRONICS-KAPOW-7-KIDS-Tablet1
 
 
It's a great Tablet for kids or someone who is new to the Tablet world and wants something that's basic and easy to use, but still very capable. It comes pre-loaded with Google Play, and because it's an Android Tablet your child can download as many games, educational or otherwise, as they so desire. This will keep them occupied for hours.

Be aware though, 8GB of storage will not last very long if you are downloading lots of apps, TV series from BBC iPlayer, or films. You will most probably need to buy a Micro SD card to add extra storage space. This is the same as any Tablet that comes with 8GB of storage space because around 3GB will have been used up by the operating system and other files and software that the Tablet comes installed with.

Thankfully, SD Cards are cheap to buy. You can get a 32GB Micro SD card for very cheap. A 12 month UK warranty is included with this deal. You don't have to buy this Tablet as a bundle. It can be bought on its own. Tabtronics KAPOW 7" is available in Pink or Blue.
 

 Honourable Mention

 
If you're on a really tight budget and need a decent Tablet as a Christmas present for the kids, the EUHubb 7 inch Android Tablet is well worth a look. It has many great reviews and is very cheap to buy. You can get the Dual Core model for a low price. Or you get the Quad Core model, which will perform better, for a little more. Both have 8GB of built-in storage space, 512MB RAM, WiFi, dual cameras, headphone jack, and a Micro SD card slot.


EUHubb-Kids-Computer-Tablet_UK
 
Updated model for 2020 / 2021 (12 hour battery life, 32GB Storage space)
 
It has parental control software ready to be set up already on the device. Google Play is present and it also comes with lots of kids games pre-loaded and ready to go. One negative is that the battery life isn't that long. Other than that the EUHubb 7 inch Android Tablet is a good little deal. It's not just for kids, adults can also use this Tablet and be able to do everything they could on any other Tablet that's considered as an "Adult" model. Available in Blue or Pink.

The Best Linx 8 Inch 10" Tablet Case

A wide selection of accessories are available for Tablets. From touch screen stylus pens, external keyboards, screen protectors, and of course protective cases. They are all just as important as each other. One case that really stands out from the rest, is the Linx 8 PU Leather Folio Case made by Fintie. It's very well made and has a multitude of great little features that a lot of the other cases just don't have. All round quality being the main, most noticeable one. It looks really neat and professional.

Linx-8-Case
Click here to check out the full range of 8 Inch Tablet Cases that fit the Linx 8 and 810B. Looking for a case that fits the 10 Inch models of Linx - Find them here. There's also some great cases available for the 12 Inch models, including the 12X64 and 12V64 - Find them for sale here.

The outer layer of the case is scratch proof and made from tough PU leather. The inner layer is made from a gentle microfiber fabric which helps keep the screen protected and blemish free. It has a stylus pen holder so that when not in use the pen sits neatly at the side of the case. The stylus pen is not included with the case but it is extremely cheap to buy. The stand capabilities feature a picture frame style angle for watching videos or viewing pictures.

That is available as landscape or portrait, whichever you prefer to use. And there is also a lower, tilted position which makes tasks like typing with the virtual keyboard, and even general usage on a flat surface feel nice and comfortable. And of course, it can be closed up so it looks like a diary with the tablet completely concealed. With the case fitted you still have the ability to press any button or access anything else, like the USB port on the Tablet device itself. You can even use the camera with the case fully fitted.

This is most probably the best case out there for the Linx 8" Tablet. The good news is it's also available for the other sized Linx Tablet models like the 7" and 10 Inch. The 8 Inch case also fits the 810B model. And there's more good news. The price is the same for the 7", 8" and normal 10" Tablets. The only model where this case is more expensive to buy is for the Linx 1010B. By most accounts the fit of these cases is super tight, making it extremely well fitted and secure. That's exactly how you want it to be when its holding your nice new Tablet inside.

The different colours available make this case suitable for just about anyone. Here is the full range of colours and designs that are for sale. Black, Blue, Green, Magenta, Navy, Purple, Leopard Magenta, Leopard Rainbow, Newspaper design and Vintage Map. Lots to choose from. This is a great product for the price. See all the designs and colours.

What about Customer Reviews


Customer feedback for this case is mostly excellent. The big majority of customers are impressed with its quality for the price. However, like any product, there are some negative reviews. But it should be noted: The positive reviews far outweight the bad ones. For most people this is one of the best covers for the Linx range mentioned here. The most common complaint is the fitting, backed up by the functionality.

Some people say the case just doesn't fit their Tablet even though they bought the correct size for their model of Tablet, making it hard to use the touch screen options at times. However, due to the Linx models having the Windows operating system installed it is possible that it's actually Windows itself causing the problem. Certain applications (Apps), don't mix well with Windows at this time and won't fully fit the screen.

So that may actually be the culprit with some of the reviews, not the case itself. Although, it does seem like there is some confusion among buyers as to which is the correct size for there model. Especially between the normal Linx 10" and Linx 1010B.

Functionality: A few customers say some of the buttons can't be used properly when the case is on. And a select few said using the external keyboard with the cover on can be a bit annoying. All the little hindrances aside, this case has one of the best review scores on Amazon. And that says a lot on its own.
