by far the best 7' tablet is the google Nexus 7 which is over your budget at £180 +



However you might get lucky on ebay for a 2nd one for around £100

I would rather have a used Nexus 7 than some of the budget tablets, many of which are inferior

There is a 7" version at £80. but I feel 800 x 480 resolution is a bit low. 8" with 1024 x 768 is a bit better.

Specification wise, sumvision wins. However, I would expect Acer will have better support.

Ployer Momo7 IPS £95. Dual core, 16Gb, twin camera, HDMI output, 1024 x 600 IPS display (less power, wider view angle), slimmer only 1.4mm more than an ipad mini, latest Android 4.1.1 Jellybean which works well on tablets.

UK distributor with good support.

Depends on whether expandable storage is a factor for the OP or not. The Nexus 7 is a non-starter for me as I cannot see the point of a multimedia device with fixed limited storage.

They sell mostly on Amazon so website is a bit token I guess. A lot of sellers on Amazon for this tablet are shipping from china so I posted the GTR website as I know they are UK and see lots of reviews saying they give good service.

When you look on Amazon at the seller choice you can see in each sellers description which ship UK and which from China, the ones from China run the risk of a £20 customs charge and harder to send back.. avoid.

The unlikely sounding Wendy Lou is also a good UK specialist seller of tablets on Amazon.

I bought a case from GTR for my Ployer Momo8 and they were good.

OTG is supported and the cables are dirt cheap. Rather messy solution in comparison to an SD card slot I'll grant you. TBH I wouldn't choose to watch movies on a tablet anyway and my first gen 16GB Nexus 7 only has a couple of GB occupied and that is mostly apps.

I got Currys PC world to price match plus 10% of the difference, making it £85.
