It’s not easy to choose from simple

Ladies and gentlemen! I am with you at the same time as a question and with a small drawing. I have the following task: to buy a tablet for a young niece who would combine several incongruous qualities simultaneously. It is necessary that 1) it was more or less powerful, 2) it worked on Android no lower than 3.x (because it got used to a mobile phone on a robot), 3) it was not scary in appearance, 4) it would cost no more than 10 kilo rubles. I see no reason to pay more, because school, children, etc.



I’ll warn in advance that advice like “little girls don’t need tablets” is not good :) I googled a bit and found out that for this price you can only buy three tablets that meet the conditions: Explay Informer 701, TeXet TM-7025 and Archos 80 G9 Turbo . Plus, the Prestigio MultiPad 9.7 Pro should be available soon.

What are they?

Explay and texet are very pleased with the price, but not at all pleasing with a diagonal of 7 inches, resolution and weak hardware. So I really only consider two options: buy Archos now or wait until the end of April and take Prestigio. And I am inclined to the second option, because firstly, I turned it a little in my hands on CeBIT, and secondly, it’s a couple of cheaper (if it really costs 8k in retail) and (oh, horror! Can I say that?) it looks like iPad and therefore it is +100 to the karma of a 12-year-old girl. On the other hand, Archos will be more powerful, and he has more memory. But on the other hand, the Multipad has an IPS matrix and a kosher case included ... And also: does a teenager need Bluetooth today, like eight years ago? .. In short, I'm confused :)

My main question is: who will advise what? I have little experience with budget tablets, as The “party policy” of our test lab provides mainly for high-end gadgets. Thanks in advance!

PS If it’s not right about only these models, correct it.
