TABLET UNDER 15000 IN INDIA

OnePlus’s Pad 2 offers a large display in its own taller aspect ratio which the brand claims is ideal for both work and play. The display has thin borders and has a premium feeling all-metal unibody chassis which has a unique looking rounded design with rounded sides and corners.

The software experience keeps up with the times. OnePlus adds a bunch of AI tools to its Oxygen OS skin which has been optimised for tablets in this case. Open Canvas makes it from the OnePlus Open to this tablet and it works wonderfully.

The Smart Keyboard optional accessory is well built and now consists of two parts. The keyboard is spacious and comfortable for typing and so is the trackpad. But the trackpad does have some minor issues.

Battery life is pretty good and easily lasts two work days. With the bundled charger it can also charge as fast as a smartphone.

Xiaomi’s budget tablet has a design that is a mix of polycarbonate plastic and metal. While a majority of its rear panel is made up of metal, there is a plastic strip running at the top to allow the cellular antennae to breathe and transmit data efficiently. The tablet given its compact dimensions does feel a bit heavy but is made well.

The Redmi Pad 2’s display now offers a higher resolution, which makes it sufficiently sharp when browsing the web and watching video. It’s not very bright or useful outdoors but indoors it provides vibrant colours and also offers FHD video streaming playback.

Its quad-speakers with Dolby Atmos sound, sound immersive. Cameras are poor and barely useful except for capturing documents or answering video conference calls.

Its battery has gotten larger, but is also slower to charge. At the same time, it lasts a whole day of continuous use which is expected at this price point. 
 

The Infinix XPad has a very practical-looking metal unibody design which has a plastic insert at the top for better radio connectivity. There’s two speakers on each side (when held horizontally) and they deliver rich sound with sufficient bass for watching video content. Despite its compact dimensions the tablet is quite heavy and does not come with any accessories.

Performance is on par with the competition and just about delivers enough power for day-to-day requirements. Image quality of the front and rear camera is passable and meets the necessary requirements for a budget tablet as well.

Battery life is again average for a device at this price point and will last users a day of continuous video viewing. While it's nice to see a charger in the box, we did find the charging speeds to be average.
