Best Tablets Under 5000 Rupees

Quite a few good smartphones are now available for an affordable price of 5000 – 6000 rupees. But what about tablets? Since tablets have larger displays and higher capacity batteries, the cost of manufacturing a similarly spec’ed tablet is more than a smartphone.

Fortunately, a few Android tablets priced under 5000 rupees are now available that perform reasonably well. Do note that you should only be picking one of these tablets if you are on a tight budget. If you can increase your budget, then there are hundreds of better options in the market. 

Limitations of buying a Tablet under Rs 5000

  • The Android tablets that we have listed below, can only perform basic tasks like web browsing, video / music playback and run basic applications that are available in the Play Store.
  • Some tablets do not come equipped with a camera and even if they do, don’t expect the picture quality to be great. You can’t expect a lot out of tablets costing less than 5000 rupees.
  • Most of the below tablets do not come with sim-card slots. What that also means is, you cannot make voice calls and data usage will only be through your local wifi network or wireless tethering from your mobile phone.
