Good deal – The Realme Pad Mini touch tablet at €149.99

There are few tablets under 10 inches on the market today. The Realme Pad Mini therefore goes it alone, offering a decent experience for a low price, even if it means making a regrettable compromise on the definition of its screen.

The Realme Pad Mini is a compact tablet whose 8.7-inch screen diagonal is like a UFO at a time when competing models are getting bigger and bigger. For a contained price, the device shows overall satisfactory performance and provides long-lasting autonomy. But a tablet is above all a multimedia consumption tool, and with its screen with a definition limited to 720p, it makes a concession that is a little too visible.

Strong points

• Good autonomy.
• Neat finish.
• Expandable memory, mini-jack socket.

Weak points

• Screen only HD.
• Unsatisfactory photo modules.

Alternatively

The Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 is a well-finished tablet that offers both performance and autonomy for a tight price. We regret, however, that it does not offer a more pronounced upscaling than the previous version, in particular by granting a faster charge. It is nevertheless a good entry-level slate, but the competition now more numerous is to be considered.
