Country: Russia
Average price: 5130 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
Large tablet 10 inches from the budget price category. The model is old, and therefore the manufacturer has set an extremely low price for it. Spending about 5000 rubles, you will get a device running on the seventh Android, with 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of built-in, 4000 mAh battery. It is charged via micro-USB, and the charge does not last for a long time - usually the battery life ends at the fifth hour.
The screen resolution is good - 1024x600. The reviews say that the screen is quite comfortable, but the slow operation is frustrating. The device is slow to respond to commands, it takes a long time to open even simple applications.

Rating (2022): 4.5
This is a budget tablet model aimed at children. The body is made in bright colors, there are rubberized ears on top. The case is thick and designed to protect the device in case of falls. Some owners who bought this one of the cheapest tablets soon regretted their purchase - it works slowly, games download too slowly, despite the Internet speed of 100 Mbps. And some users claim that the tablet is good for its money: “yes, it heats up during games, but it works tolerably and pleases with a simple interface aimed at children of three years old.”
The charge lasts up to 5 hours. There are even stereo speakers, they are not too loud. Most children like the tablet, but those who used their parents' smartphones from the more expensive price segment for games and educational applications will be dissatisfied with poor performance.

5 DIGMA Optima Kids 7 (2019)
Country: China

Rating (2022): 4.6
Inexpensive tablet designed specifically for children. This is manifested not only in appearance: the manufacturer strengthened the case so that the filling does not suffer from falls from small hands, and also installed a special children's mode in the software. The screen is good: IPS matrix with a resolution of 1024x600, and for 7 inches this resolution is enough to play and learn in educational applications with relative comfort.
The Android version is still up to date - 8.1, so there will be no problems installing the necessary applications. The RAM is only 1 GB, and the built-in memory is 16 GB.Numerous reviews confirm that the device is very slow, the sensor is wrong, the battery is weak (enough for 3 hours). If the tablet freezes, you have to wait until it is completely discharged. After charging, you can turn it on, and then it works.
4 Archos Core 70 3G V2 16Gb
Country: France
Average price: 3860 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.9
One of the most inexpensive, but at the same time quite good tablets. It looks neat and boasts that IPS is installed here as a matrix, and the screen resolution is 1280x800. This means that the color reproduction is close to natural, the viewing angles are large, there is no color inversion when changing the viewing angle. Among other things, there is 16 GB of internal memory, while devices in the same money from other manufacturers are equipped with only 8 GB.
Users in the reviews say that on this tablet you can even play light games, watch movies, read news on the Internet. The MediaTek MT8321 processor is weak, so be prepared for the fact that the device will work slowly. This is the best tablet for the money.

Average price: 3800 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.5
The most inexpensive tablet, the screen diagonal of which is slightly larger than that of direct competitors from our rating: 7.85 inches versus the standard 7. But the model loses to rivals in software - it has an old Android 4.2. It will not be possible to install even all basic applications like instant messengers on it, since many no longer support such an old version of Android.
The rest of the characteristics are about the same as those of other representatives of our top cheapest tablets: 1 GB of RAM and 8 built-in memory, a 3200 mAh battery, charging via micro-USB, two cameras: the main one with a resolution of 2 MP, the front one - 0.3 MP .

2 BQ 7083G Light (2017)
Country: Russia
Average price: 3790 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
One of the cheapest 7 inch tablets. The model is already old - 2017, but is still sold due to the budget price. Despite the low cost, two SIM cards can be installed in the tablet. There is also a slot for memory cards, as the internal memory is only 8 GB. The screen has a resolution of 1024x600, and on a seven-inch diagonal it is felt that the resolution is low - you can see individual pixels.
The main disadvantages of this extremely inexpensive tablet lie in the rapid discharge of the battery, unstable Wi-Fi connection, errors in the operation of the screen sensor and software - it is not always possible to open the desired application on the first try. If you need the cheapest tablet for basic tasks, then this model from a Russian brand may be suitable.
