Amazon cuts iPad by 34% – but is selling a cheap tablet that ‘gives it a run for its money’ and it’s £235 less

AMAZON has two tablet deals up for grabs right now, both with big savings.

The Apple iPad is down by a massive 34%, but if you’re after something more budget-friendly, there’s a hidden gem that’s £235 cheaper and still delivers great value

Apple iPad 10th Generation (Renewed), £450 £294.99

I’ve seen my fair share of Amazon deals, and Apple’s price cuts are always worth noting.

At the moment, you can find a great deal on its iPad, which sees the 10.9-inch tablet available for £294.99, down from its usual £450.

Granted, this is for a renewed model, so it’s not going to be fresh out of the box.

But it has been professionally tested and comes with a one-year warranty for peace of mind.

Its features are undeniably impressive, no surprise with Apple tech.

It sports a Liquid Retina display with True Tone technology, and the A14 Bionic chip offers speedy performance with a 6-core CPU and 4-core GPU.

The cameras don’t disappoint either; a 12MP Wide rear camera and a 12MP Ultra Wide front camera with Center Stage make it ideal for family video calls.

Apple’s tablets are a favourite for a reason, and shoppers agree this renewed model is ‘great quality’ and they ‘wouldn’t have known it was refurbished.’

It’s also a fantastic saving on a relatively up-to-date model, but the long and short of it is that even renewed Apple tech doesn’t come cheap.

You’re paying a premium for that sleek design and iconic logo.

Doogee U10 2025 Android 14 10-inch Tablet, £79.99 £59.99

If you’re not fussed about big-name brands and just want a reliable tablet, Amazon has plenty of hidden gems worth a look.

Take the Doogee U10 Android tablet, currently on sale for £59.99, down from £79.99.

That’s a huge £235 less than the iPad, making it a much better pick for families who want something the kids can use without stressing over sticky fingers or accidental drops.

It doesn’t come with Apple’s prestige, but its price tag and features make it a great alternative for those on a tighter budget.

Don’t be fooled by these low-spend devices, they often deliver surprising value for money.

The Doogee U10 runs on the Android 14 operating system and comes with a 10.1-inch display, which is just a touch smaller than the iPad’s.

It’s powered by a Quad-core CPU, offers 128GB of storage (expandable to 1TB), and has a battery that lasts up to 12 hours with general use.

The stereo speakers and 5MP rear camera won’t win any awards, but they’re perfectly fine for everyday tasks.

Amazon shoppers seem thoroughly impressed, with one noting, ‘It actually gives my 5th generation iPad a run for its money.’

Another praised the tablet as a ‘feature-packed steal for the price.’

This isn’t the first standout deal to catch my eye this month; just last week, I covered a Garmin smartwatch alternative that came in a whopping £159 cheaper.
