The Chinese super-budget Android tablet scene has thrown up some superb bargains in the sub-£100 range, now here’s a 10″ model for less than £100. The Disgo DISTAB8104R offers a 10.1″ capacitive display and Android 4.0 for a bonkers £99, which is the current asking price for the tablet over at Dixons.
For that you get a 1024 x 600 display, front-facing camera, 6,500mAh battery, 4GB of onboard storage space plus additional SD card support, but only 512MB of RAM.
Might be a bit rubbish, but for £99 there’s no cheaper way to get a 10″ Ice Cream Sandwich tablet out there right now. Ideal for a child to play Angry Birds on for 22 hours a day, at least.
Here are the tech specs of the DISTAB8104R Tablet PC:
Processor ARM Cortex A8 1.2GHz processor with Mali 400 GPU
Operating system Android 4.03

The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
The HTC One V is HTC’s third entry in its high-profile new HTC One range, offering a smaller 3.7″ display running on a single-core 1GHz processor. It is is very much the “affordable” option in HTC’s newest Android series, but…
The HTC One S is the piggy in the middle of HTC’s 2012 line-up, offering a 4.3″ AMOLED display inside a very slim and stylish aluminium chassis. The end result is a phone that’s very, very slim and stylish.
HTC’s new quad-core monster, the 4.7″ flagship for 2012 that introduces the Tegra 3 processor to mobile phones, updates HTC’s range to Android 4.0 and brings us the supposedly streamlined version 4.0 of HTC’s Sense user interface.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?
