welcome back to Android QA my name is Jason this is where we try and answer your most pressing Android questions like Santa yeah the big guys come into a chimney near you in the next two months but whether you've been naughty or nice you may not have the 530 stones to drop on the Nexus 9 as gorgeous as it is so today's Q&A is all about the best entry-level Android tablets sub 200 bucks we'll take good care of you so right at the top of that list even though it's a year old we got to talk about the Nexus 7 and here's why the Nexus 7 2013 edition has a quad-core Snapdragon s4 processor clocked in at 1.5 gigahertz and backed by an Adreno 320 GPU it has two gigabytes of RAM and is still more than capable of handling all but the most intensive activities its display resolution is still the highest you can get in this size category and most importantly you get instant Android updates then that includes the all new Android 5.0 lollipop this is why the Nexus 7 2013 Edition opens up at the best of our cheap Android tablet list the other thing to note about the Nexus 7 is that now that the Nexus 9 has come out we expect that the Nexus 7 2013 edition will be dropped in price watch out for that now if you're looking for a decent build quality at an affordable price you may want to consider the LG G pad 7.0 the LG G pad 7.0 is a great example of a budget-friendly device offering a solid feel and build quality while made entirely of plastic it has a matte finish which is less prone to fingertips not only is the G pad very sturdy it's also light overall in the specifications Department you get a processing package that is becoming increasingly common with the current crop of mid-range devices as we see from similar devices the performance is actually quite good this LG G pad sports a 7 inch IPS LCD display with 1280 x 800 resolution with 216 PPI it has a 1.2 gigahertz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor with an Adreno 305 GPU it has one gigabyte of eight gigabytes of storage but that storage is expandable it has a three point one five megapixel rear facing camera and a 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera and it sports a 4000 milliamp hour battery now when we're talking mid-range Android tablets we got to talk about the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 Samsung's signature design language makes a return here along with TouchWiz and it's key features such as smart stay and multi window the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 is not without its shortcomings however just like any other low-cost tablet but if you're looking for a Samsung tablet at a very reasonable price this device may be for you now just because we're considering budget tablets it doesn't mean we have to sacrifice on sound at least according to lanova and that's where they come in with the idea tab a8 what makes this tablet stand out is the availability of front-facing speakers powered by Dolby Digital offering some great sound whether you're listening through your headphones or the speaker's themselves while the specifications are quite standard fare across the board it has a near stock android 4.4 kitkat allowing for smooth and snappy software experiences there's a lot of things that this tablet does pretty well and even if it does have its flaws at the end of the day the idea tab a8 is very competitively priced it sports an 8 inch IPS LCD display with 1280 x 800 resolution with only 189 PPI it has a 1.3 gigahertz quad-core MediaTek processor 1 gigabyte of RAM 8 or 16 gigabytes of internal storage that is expandable and has a 5 megapixel rear facing camera and a 2 megapixel front facing camera and of course it has the 42 hundred million power battery alright thanks for watching Edward army my name is Jace and I would love to connect with you right here on Google+ or Twitter but I have a gift for you today that's right I have inbox invites you know Google's inbox I talked about last week that looks really cool well I have three more invites I ran out I gave them all away but Google's giving me three more and I want to give them to you but I need your help I'm looking for topics to cover on the next Android Q&A need three things one it needs to be a topic I haven't covered before or a new slant on an old topic and two it needs to help a broad spectrum of people so it can't be a question like when does my device get Android lollipop no needs to help a lot of people and three it needs to be interesting or fun in some way if you can put that in the comments below I will choose the top three suggestions that I like and I will give you Google inbox invites yeah in the next 72 hours try it don't forget about my brothers in Android Josh Joe in the tech ninja Kevin Lonnie Chris all working really hard to deliver the best Android content on the web I should see you next week on Android Q&A
