Shopping for an affordable Android tablet in 2025 is… less than ideal. We’re at a point where Samsung and Amazon are largely keeping the budget tablet market afloat, coupled with endless options from no-name brands, none of which are worth your time or attention. It can make your choices feel quite limited, but you do have more to choose from.
The Lenovo Idea Tab Pro is one such choice. It was announced at CES this January and hit store shelves this April, all of it done with very little fanfare. The $390 price is on the high end of the budget Android tablet space, but it’s more appealing than the $500+ flagships. The hardware looks good, too, but the quiet, inconspicuous launch makes it feel like Lenovo lacks confidence in the tablet.
