Update: Now is a great time to pick up a new tablet, so we've updated our list of the best cheaper options on the market. Read below to see the best cheap tablets under £250.
This year has been strange time for tablets. There haven't been many exciting releases, and the most fascinating tech has been restricted to the top end of the market.
The best tablet in the world is the iPad Pro 9.7, but that's not cheap so we've put a selection of the most affordable tablets together. This year both the iPad mini 2 and Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact joined our best cheap tablet.
This list also includes suspiciously cheap tablets that can be picked up for less than £100 at your local supermarket – although we'd advise against purchasing most of these.
There are a number of high quality affordable slates available too though, and the following are our favourite choices for the best cheap tablet you can buy right now.
Amazon has gone for the lowest price possible on the new Fire tablet, and that means it's not for everybody. You can pick it up for £50 and Amazon thinks you'll want six around your home as well as giving one to your kids.
Considering the price, it has some good spec and has a sturdy design that isn't going to break right away. If money is your biggest factor, the Amazon Fire may be the one for you.

The Asus ZenPad S 8.0 - also known as the Asus ZenPad Z580C - is a great value tablet with a premium looking design.
It's one of the best looking slates on this list and packs a surprising 10 hour battery life, microSD support as well as a great 8-inch screen. The best part though is the price, it's only £129.99.
Don't want to spend much on your new tablet? This choice from Asus is one of the best options for you.

If you're in the market for a low cost tablet with up to date specs then the new Amazon Fire HD 8 and HD 10 deliver.
They won't bless you with a stunning display, sultry design or slick performance - but they will give you enough grunt under the hood to play even the most demanding of games.
The heavily modified Android interface (known as Fire OS) may not be to everyone's liking, but for less tech savvy users it's arguably less cluttered and easier to use.

The Amazon Fire HD 6 is one of the most enticing tablets to come from Amazon, mixing efficient integration with the Prime services and a compact footprint that makes it easy to drop in your bag.
It's no tablet king, but it does what it sets out to well. Its crazy low price tag means it's perfect to hand off to the kids without the fear that they're wielding an expensive bit of kit around.
It may be too small for some, and the cameras aren't up to much, but the Fire HD 6 gives you the core tablet experience for not very much outlay, making it a budget tablet worth buying.

Sony's Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact is a few years old now, but it's only now entered our best cheap tablet list as it's dropped down in price quite a bit over the last few months.
The Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact is one of the best cheap Android tablets you can buy right now and comes with a Full HD 8-inch display, a super slim body and a light but waterproof design.
You'll be able to upgrade it to Android 6 Marshmallow software right out of the box too.
The battery life on the Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact is also strong, so you shouldn't have to sit next to a wall to be able to use this Android tablet.

What's this? The iPad mini 2 in a list of the best cheap tablets? Why yes. It may be a premium slate but it's been superseded by the iPad mini 4 and the already discontinued iPad mini 3 and as such it's dropped in price to under £250.
Better yet, as the iPad mini 3 is basically the same tablet with added Touch ID you hardly miss out on anything by buying this older model, though you do miss out on the power-boost found in the iPad mini 4.
Still, with a brilliant screen, a stunning design and quite a lot of power the iPad mini 2 is difficult to beat at this price point. It looks, feels and performs like something far more expensive.
