Aldi Medion Lifetab is a budget tablet that is going to take on Tesco and Apple’s iPad as speculated.
Medion Lifetab E7310 is a 7″ (17.8cm) tablet with a multi-touch display, Android™ 4.1 Jelly Bean, and an internal memory of 8GB. The tablet also comes with Wi-Fi, 2 built-in cameras (2.0 MP rear, 0.3MP front webcam), card reader etc.
Tesco has enjoyed huge success with its low-priced Hudl tablet but at £119, it is now far more expensive than Aldi’s Medion Lifetab which is expected to be priced at £79.
The popularity of android tablets, especially, amongst young people have motivated top UK retailers such as Argos to manufacture their own android tablets. Argos tried to grab a share of the market, launching its £100 MyTablet
Budget Tablets
When it comes to budget supermarkets, it seems there’s no such thing as peace and goodwill at Christmas. Aldi has opened up a new front in the festive price war by launching its own version of android tablet costing just £79.
Experts said that while the quality of budget options might not compare with Apple’s original tablet computer, the affordability factor would lead to a rush of new sales.
