1. Irresistible Tablets Priced Below 4 Million VND
In the past, tablets under 4 million VND were mostly associated with Chinese-made products lacking renowned brands, leading to issues in quality and warranty. This year, the market has seen the introduction of reputable brands like Asus, HP, Acer, and Lenovo, providing users with more reliable and affordable tablet options.
Here are 4 appealing tablet models under 4 million VND in the market.
Asus Memo Pad HD7
Asus is arguably the most enthusiastic manufacturer in the affordable tablet segment in the Vietnamese market. The brand offers numerous models in the price range from over 3 million to 6 million VND. MeMo Pad HD7 is the second generation of the 7-inch MeMo Pad series. The official price of the device is higher than the previous version by 400,000 VND, but the worthwhile upgrades justify the increase.
The device features a 10-point touchscreen, IPS display panel, 7-inch size, and a resolution of 1,280 x 800 pixels. Despite having a quad-core processor, the Memo Pad HD 7 uses the budget-friendly MediaTek MT8125 with a speed of 1.2 GHz, and SGX - 544 graphics chip. The device comes with 1 GB RAM, 16 GB internal storage, and supports up to 32 GB microSD cards.
The reference price for this product is 3.9 million VND.
HP Slate 7
HP Slate 7 is a direct competitor to Asus Memo Pad HD7 in the Vietnamese market. Both models were introduced almost simultaneously with comparable prices. The device features a 7-inch display with a resolution of 1,024 x 600 pixels. It has a square design with sturdy metal borders and buttons.
Despite its affordable price, HP Slate 7 boasts a solid configuration with a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor clocked at 1.9 GHz, 1 GB RAM, and 8 GB internal storage, expandable via microSD cards.
The device features dual cameras, with a VGA front camera and a 3.1-megapixel rear camera, a resolution lower than the current camera standards. The device runs on Android 4.1, and it integrates Beats Audio technology, similar to HP's computer models.
The device is priced at around 4 million VND.
Acer Iconia B1
Acer Iconia B1-A71 stands out as one of the most affordable tablets in today's market. Priced at around 2.9 million VND, it competes favorably with many Chinese-manufactured tablets, albeit without a prominent brand name.
The device is equipped with a 7.1-inch WSVGA display with a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels, a dual-core MediaTek processor clocked at 1.2 GHz, 512 MB RAM, 8 GB internal storage, and support for up to 32 GB microSD cards. Acer Iconia B1-A71 runs on Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean.
Acer's budget tablet also features a 3.5mm headphone jack, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and GPS. Acer Iconia B1-A71 has dimensions of 197.4 x 128.5 x 11.3 mm and a weight of 320g.
Lenovo IdeaPad A1000
IdeaPad A1000 stands out with a sim card slot supporting GSM/EDGE bands, allowing users to make regular phone calls as well as access wireless Internet. Unfortunately, the product lacks 3G connectivity despite demanding features in a tablet priced at only 3.5 million VND.
IdeaPad A1000 runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean with a dual-core 1.2 GHz processor, 1 GB DDR2 RAM, and storage expandable up to 32 GB via the MicroSD card slot. The device features a built-in 0.3-megapixel front camera, enabling remote communication through video chat applications like Skype. A1000 is available in both white and black variants, mirroring the A3000 model.
