Best Mini Tablets of 2025

"I recently got the Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus Tablet, and I find it to be a fantastic addition to my tech collection. The 8-inch HD display and 30% faster processor provide a superb balance of performance and affordability. I appreciate how quickly apps open and the smooth multitasking experience it offers. For the price, it’s a great deal, especially with the added wireless charging feature."

"Having used various high-end tablets, I was surprised to give the Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus a 5-star rating. I needed a smaller, lighter tablet for reading, and this one perfectly fits the bill. The screen is ideal for reading books and manga, and I managed to install the Google Play store without any hassle, allowing me to access all my necessary apps. My kids tested it with games, and while some ran slower, they still enjoyed using it!"

"I primarily bought this tablet for Audible and Kindle reading, and it has been incredibly convenient having everything Amazon-connected. It runs smoothly with fast-loading apps, and I can access many platforms like HBO Max and Hulu without issues. Overall, I'm thrilled with my new Fire tablet and highly recommend it!"

"I recently started a new role that requires me to be more mobile, and the iPad Mini 7 is the ideal companion for meetings, presentations, and note-taking. The updated processor handles heavy software seamlessly, and its screen size is perfect for both media consumption and portability. I downsized from an iPad Air 4, and it was the best decision I made. For the price, the power it offers is unbeatable. The battery life is decent, lasting through my workday, and paired with the new Apple Pencil Pro, it provides an amazing note-taking experience. This device truly blends power and portability."

"Having used larger iPads, I find this model to be the perfect balance between a phone and a laptop. Its size is ideal for productivity and entertainment on the go. The Apple Smart Folio enhances the experience with excellent protection, making it worth the investment. The A17 Pro chip guarantees smooth multitasking and a vibrant 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display. The only downside is the lack of a headphone jack, which can be a bit inconvenient. Overall, this iPad is a fantastic option for anyone looking for a compact yet powerful device."

"I upgraded to the iPad Mini 7 from the previous model and I’m thrilled with the build quality and display. With twice the storage and a better processor, I can now play games like Resident Evil 4 without any issues. The Apple Intelligence feature has blown me away, especially for visualizing my characters as an author. The writing tools are fun for notes but I wouldn’t use them for my creative work. Overall, this iPad Mini is a great media consumption device with the added capability of running AAA games and AI features."

"Having owned a prior Amazon Fire tablet, I was frustrated with its performance and battery life. I decided to give the 2024 Fire HD 8 model a shot, and I was pleasantly surprised! This new version is slimmer and has a fantastic screen. All my previous apps transferred automatically, and it's incredibly fast. Watching videos is a breeze, and the storage is plenty for my needs. I'm really pleased with this purchase, especially considering the incredible price."

"I bought this tablet as a gift for my mother. While it's not the fastest tablet, it does the job well for her needs. The 8-inch size is perfect for carrying around, and I recommend getting a protector for its longevity. It works well for streaming services and social media. I believe she'll mainly use it for YouTube and Facebook, which is exactly what I wanted for her."

"I purchased this for myself to avoid sharing with my niece and nephew. The screen quality is impressive, and the sound is great. It's easy to connect to WiFi and navigate through functions. The size is just right for my usage, making it a very nice tablet overall."

"I absolutely love the 11-inch screen! It's perfect for both on-road and off-road navigation. Finding gas or food stops is a breeze, and I appreciate the split-screen feature. Unlike in-dash units, I prefer this tablet's flexibility and portability. It's been a great companion for my trips!"

"This Samsung tablet is a fantastic upgrade for me. It has a 128 GB memory and is really easy to use. The sound quality is great, and I can even use my Sennheiser wired headphones thanks to the headphone jack. Overall, it's a great bang for the buck!"

"As a tech-savvy 70-year-old, I find this tablet to be a decent upgrade. While the battery life is not impressive, the screen is nice and slim. I’m still giving it a try to see if it meets my needs, but I might consider returning it if the performance doesn’t improve."

"I bought this iPad Mini for my granddaughter, and she loves it. I find myself using it too! It does run a bit slow, but overall, it’s in good condition and a great value."

"I ordered the iPad Mini 4 (128GB, WiFi renewed) and was pleasantly surprised. It arrived in impeccable condition and the battery life is much better than my old one. The seller was very responsive throughout the process, and I would definitely recommend them."

"I received the product well-packaged and protected. The screen is in perfect condition, although the back has a minor scratch that's barely noticeable. The performance is decent for reading, but the browser feels a bit slow to load pages. I’m overall very satisfied with my purchase."

"I've had several Kindles and love them. I needed a tablet for specific apps, so I chose this Lenovo based on reviews. It’s fast, light, and affordable! I upgraded to a child-proof case since I use it for field recordings. Battery life is fantastic, lasting 3-4 days with light usage. I haven’t found anything to complain about in the last three months!"

"As my first tablet outside of Kindle, I bought this for media and laser engraving software. It performs well for both, with decent audio and a premium feel. The screen is vivid, and performance is snappy. If you're after a basic tablet without performance issues, this fits the bill!"

"I got this for reading and browsing, and it's perfect for that! The 9-inch size is just right for one-handed use, and I was pleasantly surprised by the minimal app bloat. While I wished for a bit more responsiveness in the touchscreen, overall, it does what I need for the price!"

"I bought this device for my mother-in-law to help her order groceries. The size is perfect, and the picture quality is outstanding. She can easily see the products instead of struggling with her phone. However, I did notice the processor is slow, especially during the setup process."

"I chose this tablet for our church media booth to run basic apps and play audio clips. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. The charging port is misaligned, making it difficult to connect the cable properly, and it took about 7 hours to charge. Plus, it has a 3-second delay after touchscreen actions and kept rebooting every 30 seconds. I wouldn't recommend this tablet."

"This tablet is a great find for the price! It's a bit laggy on bootup, but once it's running, it performs well. I've been using it for video streaming and browsing for about four months now. As an e-reader, it's excellent and handles multitasking just fine."

"I was thrilled to find the tablet ready to use and fully charged on Christmas Day! My nephew had a blast with it right away. The screen quality is impressive and it's a great value for what I paid. So far, it’s been performing wonderfully, and I love that the screen size is ideal for kids. Videos play smoothly, and the audio is decent too. It’s a perfect intro tablet or a backup for Android needs."

"While setting up the tablet, I found the instructions printed very small and a bit tricky to follow. It took longer than I expected to download the apps, but once everything was installed, I had no issues. Overall, the tablet works very nicely after setup."

"I was a bit disappointed because, even though it claims to have Android 12, it actually runs on Android Go. This made it unusable for my needs as the apps I wanted to install wouldn't run. However, for casual browsing or basic tasks, it might be perfectly fine."

"I bought this three times for my daughter, and the longest one lasted 6 months with heavy daily use. It's cute and lightweight, perfect for slipping into her backpack or jeans pocket. She even prefers it over a fire tablet. I highly recommend it, especially for teens and adults."

"I received the tablet to use for running Teams, but it took forever to install and kept crashing. I realized it didn’t have enough power for Teams, though it runs Android 11. After a week, the screen went dark and the device bricked; I couldn’t reset it."

"I'm really happy with these 7-inch tablets! They are perfect for my ultrasound studio, mainly for live streaming. I’ve had no issues with connectivity. They are a bit slow when clicking, but for the price, they offer great value. I would definitely recommend them for simple tasks."
