Game, Stream, Work Without Limits: Top 5G Tablets Under ₹30,000

Choosing the right tablet today means balancing performance, connectivity, and value for money. With 5G networks rapidly expanding across India, tablets that support faster internet speeds are no longer just a luxury—they’re essential for gaming, streaming, studying, and working on the go. The good news? You don’t need to spend a fortune. There are several powerful 5G tablets available under ₹30,000 that deliver smooth performance, long battery life, and immersive displays, making them perfect all-rounders for everyday use.

To get good value, make sure the best tablet you choose has:

Reliable chip/processor: Something that can handle games, multitasking, and streaming without lag.

Sufficient RAM & Storage: 6-8 GB RAM or more is good; internal storage should be at least 128 GB if possible (or look for expansion).

Display Quality: Higher refresh rate (90-120Hz) helps, especially for smoother gaming. Good resolution (2K/Quad HD where possible) improves streaming and media.

Battery Size: Big battery (7,000-10,000 mAh) helps with all-day use. Fast charging helps too.

Durability/Build/Features — Dual speakers, good audio, SIM/5G support, possibly stylus support for work/study.

Here’s a quick look at three of them:

Redmi Pad Pro 5G: One of the more balanced picks. It has a large 12.1-inch 120 Hz display, Snapdragon 7s Gen2 chip, good RAM & storage, strong battery (~10,000 mAh), and real 5G support. Great for media, multitasking, and light-to-medium gaming.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ 5G: Best for those who want a known brand, decent display, and solid reliability. Not the highest refresh rate or the biggest battery, but brand support, UI polish, and after-sales tend to be good with Samsung.

Motorola Pad 60 Pro Gaming Tablet: Tailored more for a gaming focus. Expect better touch response, perhaps more gamer-friendly features, and heavier usage capability. Worth it if gaming is a priority.

Honor Pad 9 is another that gets recommended for entertainment and streaming, though check for 5G variant availability.

Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.7 surfaces in spec-filtered searches under ₹30,000. If you prefer larger screen real estate, this is worth a look. 

Things to Watch Out For


Just because a tablet is “5G” doesn’t mean all bands/networks are supported — check if the bands match your carrier.

Big displays + high refresh rate drain battery faster. If you’re using it for long hours, make sure the charger and battery are good.

Updates & software support vary a lot by brand; cheaper tablets may lag on Android version updates.

Build quality/speakers/durability, sometimes trade-offs happen at this price.
