With the advent of android, undeniably there’s an exponential rise in handheld devices in the world. Thanks to the ever increasing number of tablet manufacturers in India who have poured-in a lot of devices into market. At times, it’s difficult to find a best 3G tab under your budget. We have many tablets under Rs.10,000 from big players like Dell, HP and Lenovo but they don’t support 3G which has become a crucial deciding factor for tablet because in India we don’t find frequent Wi-fi (free) hotspots around. So let’s see the best 3 top 3G enabled tablets which are priced under Rs.10,000.
Note: One thing to observe here is that the below devices are not killer machines as the price tag we chose here is not a killer-one too, so let’s expect the best decent features within the stipulated price tag and the prices mentioned below may be tentative.

Conclusion:
Above 3 tabs are chosen by me after reading many reviews on 3G tabs. I personally prefer Micromax Funbook Mini P410i as the best 3G tab under Rs.10,000 considering my friends’ feedback too. But if you can push your boundary a bit further I would recommend you go for Lenovo A7-50 tablet which has got 3G, 1.3GHz quad-core processor, 1280 x 800 pixels resolution, good camera and it’s from a trusted brand (that bought Motorola).
