Any recommendations for a cheap tablet?

Have an ipad 2 currently which is getting a bit creaky after 6 years.

It is only used for internet browsing on the sofa and very occasionally watching TV via iPlayer, 4OD and the like.

Given the limited amount of use, don't really want to spend £400+ on a new ipad. Was hoping to find something under £150 but there is so much out there I don't know where to start sorting the wheat from the chaff.

Android is fine, have discounted the various Kindles as I believe it is hard to load the Play store onto them? An 8" screen or larger would be good too.

Any thoughts?

Linx 1010 or whatever the latest gen is called. Good, cheap Windows tablet, not powerfull but it doesn't need to be to do what you want. We have 3 in the family, two 10 inch and one 8 inch.

Had a Lenovo Yoga Tab 8 for a few years. Broke it trying to extract 3G sim. Bought Yoga Tab 3 10.

Very long battery life, but a bit heavy. Android bloat-free. Can be Windows-ised with Windows Apps in Android Play Store. It's had two security upgrades, one a month ago. Great 'kick-stand' and stereo speakers. The Infiland case for it has a 'sleep-magnet'. (Amazon.) No issues with memory, add 32GB card. £149 at the moment. Good media/browsing/email weapon.

Android 6.01, security last upgrade 1 March, 2017, 2GB ram. Can be de-Googled data-slurping with free Netguard firewall.

We do a lot of field data collection on tablets, now use three of these with no issues. All day battery life is excellent.

I also had a Linx 10, nice machine with the magnetic keyboard but heavier than the Yoga 3 10.
