Even though tablets may not be as popular as they once were back in their early days, these devices are still very much useful and important for anything you want to do in your daily life either as a professional or as a student.

Even for mere fun, the fact that you have a bigger display to work on gives you an advantage over the use of a smartphone.

Even though smartphones are getting bigger nowadays, the reality is that they cannot be as big as tablets and that is why tablets are like computers but with trimmed down features.

However, I’ve been able to collate a couple of interesting tablet devices that may catch your attention ranging from Lenovo XiaoXin to AllDoCube X Game, to Xiaomi Pad 5, Umidigi A11 Tab, and other interesting tablet devices that are cool.

Without any further ado, below are some of the most affordable Android tablets you can buy under the US$500 price tag today.
