Best budget 8 inch tablet for around £100 or so.

Hi there folks,

Hope everyone is good. I have a few Kindle fire 8 tablets, think its the 22 model, only 2 GB Ram, so waiting on apps and things to open on them is a right pain in the behind. 

I have reset but after a few days or so same old thing. I have tried a few close all apps software and while it helps I do think I will get a new tablet with more Ram needs to be at least 4gb.

I do like the eight inch tablet and have been looking at the Samsung A9 which has 4GB Ram and a 8.7 inch screen which is ok. I do notice that there are quite a few tablets Such as lenovo which might fit the bill too, so any pointers in the right direction is very much appreciated.

Thank you

    You can a Lenovo 11" for £120 from Argos. Not the highest specs but it will generally be a higher spec than
    the smaller screen units.

    If you can stretch to a little bit more, the 8Gb version of the A9 is smoother and quicker, not suffering the slowdown the 4Gb (or less has)

    Based on my experience I certainly wouldn't buy an Amazon Fire tablet (despite the praise they often seem to get on here).

    I have heard good things about the Samsung A9 from a source I'd trust.
