Whether you're headed back to school or back to work after a relaxing summer vacation, now is the perfect time to consider investing in an Android tablet. They can be fantastic tools, the perfect entertainment device when you need something larger than a smartphone—or simply another option when you want to give your phone a break and focus your attention elsewhere.

The best part is that you don't have to spend a lot to get a lot. There are a number of excellent Android tablets available for less than $200—and, in some cases, for less than $100. That's an amazing value, especially when you consider how many features and capabilities can be packed into these budget-minded devices.

Think about how you're going to use your tablet, and what priorities you have for it. Is a durable design vital, because it'll be used by the whole family? Is long battery life most important? Or maybe you simply want a large and clear screen, to give your eyes a rest from staring at a smaller cellphone. Keep reading to learn about some of the best Android tablets under $200 dollars.
