Best Tablets for Watching Netflix, Hulu or Amazon Prime in 2021

Some people think that you need a very powerful computer or laptop to stream your favorite shows and movies on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video or a similar service, but the truth is that you can do very well on a cheaper tablet.

These highly portable devices have larger screens than smartphones, are light and portable, have impressive battery life, and are powerful enough to provide a solid streaming experience at a modest price.

They can be considered the best option in terms of size and price, right between smartphones (which are small) and laptops (which are larger and generally less portable than tablets).

And in this article, we’re only talking about that: the best tablets to watch Netflix, Hulu or Prime Video in 2021. These are all products that won’t blow up the bank.

Now let’s take a look at these great cheap tablets for watching movies on Netflix or Hulu, ranked from the cheapest to the most expensive at the time of writing.

Fire HD 10 Shelf

 

The Amazon tablet was never meant to impress you with its features, but it’s still a good choice for most people and sells at a very low price.

It also has many features implemented by Amazon. So if you’re a regular customer, you get even more value for your money with the Fire Tablet.

It’s also a tablet that consistently gets the best reviews from its users, which means they’re generally satisfied – and so are you!

It’s not the fastest tablet, but it does its job and makes watching movies easy – that’s all that matters!

In terms of specs and performance, it offers speeds up to 2.0 GHz with an octa-core processor (which is really good!) and 2 GB of RAM – which is a bit less than we like.

It offers a decent amount of internal memory: 64 GB, which can be expanded to 512 GB with a microSD card.

This is the Amazon tablet with the largest screen, 10.1 inches. It offers excellent image quality in Full HD 1080p resolution, with wide viewing angles, less glare and more clarity thanks to an improved screen.

In other words, the perfect experience for watching your favorite shows and movies!

It integrates Alexa, but it’s also easy to turn off if you’re not using the features.

One of the biggest drawbacks is the camera quality, which is below average at just 2 MP – both front and rear.

But if you don’t use it to take pictures and only watch movies and shows from Neflix, Hulu or Amazon Prime and the latest games and surf the web or read books, you don’t have to worry about it.

It’s the perfect tablet, especially for those who use Amazon a lot, whether it’s for shopping, reading books, watching movies, or using Audible.

Of course, everyone can benefit from it, and it’s the cheapest on our list, which makes it even better. It’s not the best tablet, but it does the job – and you also get a product from a well-known brand, and all for a very low price.

MatrixPad P31 – best budget

 

Now we’re moving on to a brand that’s not so well known, but luckily that’s one of the reasons we keep the price low.

We only value quality and performance, and this unit offers both! As you will see, it has a lot to offer for the money and is perfect for online distribution of movies and the like.

It is a fairly large tablet with a 10-inch screen that offers good image quality with good contrast and color gamut. It’s not the best you can get, but for the price, you have nothing to complain about!

It still has a very solid resolution (1920×1200 pixels), which means the picture quality will be really good. We don’t expect the average user to feel much difference from the more expensive tablets when watching movies.

It’s very fast thanks to its octa-core processor, but also has 4GB of RAM (which is more than enough for movies) and 64GB of internal storage that can be expanded with an SD card.

These are very good values and the performance of the tablet will impress you.

It has a decent 6000 mAh battery that works for about 8 hours on a single charge. It has a simple but solid design and is very responsive.

As with all tablets, the camera is not impressive, but not bad either. The standalone camera offers only 5 megapixels, while the rear camera is 13 megapixels. However, do not expect superior photo quality.

But if you buy this device mainly to stream movies and TV shows from Netflix / Hulu (or any other online service) and to surf the web and use applications and games, then it’s perfect and at a price you’ll love!

As a bonus, there is also a keyboard and stylus that can be attached. This really makes it a great mini-computer and even more versatile.

UBook X

 

We’ll stick with the hybrid tablets for this recommendation: Chuwi UBook X, which is really interesting.

Like the previous model, it has a removable keyboard and silhouette, but this model runs on Windows 10. So if you’re already familiar with this OS and not Chrome or Apple’s iOS, you get a bonus.

The information technology also has breathtaking specifications, such as B. 8 GB RAM and an impressive 256 GB SSD storage (which is very fast).

It only has a quad-core Intel N4100 processor, which is far from ideal, but it still offers very decent performance, and you won’t see any hiccups or freezes when streaming movies.

It’s the biggest on our list – with its 12-inch screen, it offers a bigger screen for your movies, which is always welcome. It also has a very solid resolution of 2160 x 1440 pixels, which provides crystal clear picture quality with good colors.

When it comes to cameras, it’s not impressive anymore, quite the opposite! The device has very basic cameras – a 2 megapixel front camera and a 5 megapixel rear camera. It’s better than nothing, but know that you won’t get that because of the quality of the cameras.

But that’s the problem with all these pills: They are not meant to be photographed!

Nevertheless, the Chewie tablet is very resistant. It’s very powerful, offers plenty of storage and runs on Windows 10, which may be a bonus for some.

Latest iPad Air news – Editor’s Choice

 

This is our first recommendation, although it’s cheap using the latest Apple iPad, it’s a bit over the top. But it really is an extraordinary product that you are going to love!

And you should know that despite the hate and attacks, Apple makes high-quality gadgets – including the iPad Air.

Powered by Apple’s A14 Bionic chip with desktop-like architecture and 4GB of RAM, this tablet moves quickly and beautifully, just like all iPads.

We use it a lot and there is no reason to complain about the speed: From streaming video applications like Netflix or Hulu to the latest applications and games, everything works perfectly on this tablet!

It can even handle 4K videos with ease. So you will be happy with this model, which is also our first recommendation.

Even the storage is decent – 64GB on this recommended model, but there are 256GB models (which cost more). The problem is that the iPad doesn’t have a microSD slot, so you can’t expand the storage capacity.

But unless you take a lot of photos and videos and store them on the tablet itself, even 64 GB should be enough: certainly enough to stream movies from your favorite service and use various applications.

If you can deal with the limited storage capacity, you get all the features of the current generation Apple iPad and the price is really good.

You also get a decent camera for photography – a huge improvement over previous models. The 12-megapixel rear camera can record 4K video, while the 7-megapixel front camera is good for selfies and video calls.

Thanks to the Retina display, you also know that the image quality is very good: definitely the best in this list. And the 11″ screen is perfect for watching movies.

So, while it is a bit expensive, it really is a great product that you will use for years to come, unless something unexpected happens.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S7

 

If you want to stay on Android and want a tablet with similar performance to the iPad recommended above, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 is for you.

Samsung, one of the best known brands in the field of Android tablets and smartphones, is fortunately in our list this year, even though the price of its tablets is far from low. But you know you are paying for quality and performance!

This tablet has an excellent processor that allows it to run applications and everything else at lightning speed: an octa-core processor that works at up to 3.09 GHz, which is surprisingly fast.

It’s also paired with 6GB of RAM to keep everything running as smoothly as possible.

As for the internal storage, we get a massive 128GB capacity, but it can be expanded by another 1TB with a microSD card. In other words: You don’t have to worry about internal memory at all.

It’s also a large tablet with an 11-inch screen. The picture is clear and attractive thanks to a TFT LCD screen with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels.

The Galaxy Tab S7 also has great battery life, offering up to 14 hours of uninterrupted video playback on a single charge.

It also comes with an S Pen for quick note taking, drawing or whatever you want. A nice addition that won’t really interest most regular users, but still nice to have.

Unlike most other tablets, this tablet offers a wide range of photo options. It is equipped with a dual rear camera (a 5 megapixel wide-angle camera and a 13 megapixel regular camera) and an 8 megapixel front-facing camera.

Overall, this Samsung tablet is slightly more expensive than the others, but it’s still a really solid option, especially for those who want to buy it from a reputable manufacturer.

Choosing the best tablet for watching movies

For those unfamiliar with technology, watching Hulu or Netflix or other online videos on a tablet also requires an internet connection.

If you have WiFi at home or at work or wherever you want to use your tablet, this is not a problem and it can work perfectly with the products we recommend.

Although the tablet market is not very competitive and you don’t have many products to choose from, there are always great products on sale that offer great performance when it comes to streaming movies.

These tablets recommended above are not only able to stream your favorite shows and movies, but also run applications and games and even take decent photos or videos without any problem.

This way you get a well-rounded product, no matter which one you choose!

In our experience, tablets have a much longer lifespan than smartphones, making them even less profitable in the long run, so they are actually a very solid investment, despite their declining popularity.

Personally, I prefer tablets over smartphones for everything but taking pictures and making calls, and I think it’s a good idea to choose a tablet over a phone for streaming Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney Plus, etc.

Conclusion

Here are our favorites for the best tablets to watch Netflix and other streaming services in 2021. You should make the best choice based on your budget, keeping in mind that the most expensive models usually offer better performance.

I have to say it again, it’s the best Apple iPad (but also the most expensive). If you can’t afford it, don’t worry! All of the above recommendations are excellent for online film distribution.

If you’re not sure if a tablet is the best choice for watching Netflix, we also have a list of the best phones for Netflix, as well as the best Chromebooks for Netflix. You can also check out the list of the most advantageous laptops for streaming movies in the Review section.
