While this is no powerhouse, if you are looking for a tablet with a big screen, and good speakers and don’t care about Android updates, the Honor Pad 8 is a good option under Rs 20,000. The base variant of the Honor Pad 8 with 4GB RAM is currently available on Amazon for Rs 13,999, but if you can spend Rs 2,000, we recommend spending a bit more and going with the 6GB RAM variant.
