TABLET UNDER 20000 IN INDIA

The Realme Pad X is the company’s most premium Android tablet currently in India. The Realme Pad X comes with multiple storage and connectivity options in India, including support for 5G network.

The USP of the Realme Pad X is its big display. The tablet offers a 10.95-inch WUXGA+ resolution with a standard 60Hz refresh rate. It also offers fairly narrow bezels around the screen. To complement the multimedia experience, the Realme Pad X has a quad-speaker setup.

The Android tablet features a Snapdragon 695 SoC, which is quite popular among phones under Rs. 20,000. The 6nm SoC is paired with up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. It also packs a beefy 8340mAh battery with 33W fast charging support.

The Realme Pad X is 7.1mm slim and weighs about 507g. It comes with a USB Type-C port but misses out on a 3.5mm headphone jack and a fingerprint scanner. The tablet runs on the Android 12-based Realme UI 3.0 out of the box.

The Realme Pad is the brand’s first attempt at an Android-powered tablet. It offers capable hardware in a slim package at budget prices. All of this works fine provided you aren’t looking at it as a productivity device.

The tablet has a quality display which is sharp and is bright enough to handle direct sunlight. Keeping media consumption in mind, it offers Widevine L1 certification, which allows for full-HD video streaming quality. Adding to that experience is the quad-speaker audio setup that delivers sound that’s loud and clear enough enough to fill a room.

Software performance is quite smooth, but with just 3GB or 4GB of RAM, this tablet would be best used for running basic apps and not graphically intense games. Battery life is quite good, and the Realme Pad can last about a day and a half with about an hour of gaming and several hours of video playback.

The Oppo Pad Air is the brand's first tablet entry in the Indian market. Oppo takes a budget approach with this one and focuses on quality instead of performance, making it into a tablet that is built for media consumption more than anything else.

Build quality with the metal unibody design feels quite solid and the designer plastic strip around the back gives it a nice touch. The 10.63-inch display isn’t the brightest we have seen, but gets the job done indoors.

Oppo has used a Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 SoC which is also found in some budget smartphones and it offers good enough performance while driving the large display when it comes to software, but just gets the job done when it comes to heavy 3D games.

Battery life is quite solid and charging speeds are average. Camera performance is below average and the same applies to video recording.
