Android tablets range from around £50 to £500 (some cost even more). They vary in size and quality, but some are exceptionally good value indeed and are typically the best iPad alternatives. In the chart below we rank the best Android tablets available to buy in the UK in 2017. There are also new tablets coming in 2017 which we haven’t yet reviewed.

Amazon Fires are a little different as they run on Android, but it’s Amazon’s heavily customised and locked down version. They make good kids’ tablets, so if you’re after a tablet for a child, check out our list of the Best tablets for kids.
