After the previous guide written on the best 7 inch budget tablets to buy in the month of January 2013, we come back with a new guide on the best budget tablets to buy under a budget restriction of Rs. 15,000. 10 inch tablets are costlier in the market, with starting prices nearing Rs. 10,000 (cheaper ones have a 9 inch display). These tablets are the ideal dimension for someone who wants to add a doc and work completely with a tablet instead of a laptop (as far as possible). Sized about the Google Nexus 10 (or the Apple iPad), these budget tablets are here to grab your attention (and money) with their bang for buck offerings.

However, the Videocon VT10 is the one that simply steals the show with it's excellent price tag and combined design of the tablet (aesthetically pleasing) as well as having a very good display with an aspect ratio of the Nexus 10 device (instead of the 9.7 inch 4:3 aspect ratio Karbonn and Wammy tablets, just like the Apple iPad).
Other brands and offerings weren't listed as they simply do not compete with these products, either by being too expensive and not having the latest Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS as well as other criteria like dual core CPU or RAM content. Simply put, these are the best products for your money's worth.
