The Xiaomi Pad 6 is the most affordable tablet on this list, and interestingly enough, is also one of the most well-equipped. The Xiaomi Pad 6 offers quad speakers with Dolby Atmos certification as part of its features list, which makes it ideal for watching shows on it. The Pad 6 is also powered by a near-flagship grade older chip, thus giving it ample performance chops for gaming, while entertainment-wise, the 11-inch display has one of the highest resolutions within this price point — alongside being only the second laptop here to offer fast refresh rates.

The OnePlus Pad offers a premium overall build, with a design that is in line with how the brand's smartphones look like. The tablet does not exactly support a 5G SIM but supports cellular data sharing where your phone's 5G data plan can be shared with the tablet itself — thus not needing you to compulsorily use a hotspot to connect the tablet to the internet. It also has decent performance chops, thanks to the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC, and comes with a 144Hz refresh rate display for a smooth user experience. The OnePlus Pad is on the pricier side of things, but it is still considered an affordable tablet for the kind of features it offers.

The speakers also get Dolby Atmos certification, suggesting that this is a well-rounded tablet for all entertainment use cases.
Pros:
- Good speakers
- Nice battery life
Cons:
- No headphone jack
- Not great for gaming
