Today it is the Xiaomi Redmi Pad 2 Pro, for £199 (score 7.1).
The Lenovo Idea Tab, for £199 (score 6.8).
In the 6 Nov 2026 catalog, the median price of the 11 models in the segment is £309, and prices range from £150 to £900. The final price is the one at the store.
Models whose specs list a screen of 10 inches or more, an Apple, Snapdragon, Dimensity or Exynos chip and 128 GB of storage or more are included. Each model counts once: if it has more than one version within the rule, the price is that of the cheapest version and the others show on the card.
From cheapest to most expensive, the tablet that has a higher spec score than all the cheaper ones in the segment makes the line. Anything that costs more and has an equal or lower score is left out. The line doesn’t say which tablet to buy: it only shows which ones don’t lose on both score and price at once.
Every day, with each collection: numbers, chart, ranking and the "What changed" section are rebuilt with the day’s catalog. This edition is from 6 November 2026.
