Just yesterday, we brought you news that Karbonn had brought a 7-inch Android Jelly Bean tablet to market at a Nexus-bothering $125. That’s all well and good, but what if you’re still not convinced be all this 7-inch display nonsense? You’ll be needing something bigger. 

How about a 10-inch tab running Android 4.0, replete with expandable storage and a bevy of inputs for just £119? That’s exactly what Kogan Technologies has to offer.

Kogan, the Australian company run by controversial tech figure Ruslan Kogan, concerns itself with making tech that apes the premier manufacturers’ goods, but at a fraction of the cost. Which neatly explains the thinking behind the Agora 10-inch tablet.

The budget Nexus 7 killer?

While it may not run on Android 4.1, it more than makes up for it elsewhere, when you consider what you’re getting on a spec-to-cost ratio. That 10-inch multi-touch display sits in front of a 1GHz ARMv7 with 1Gb of RAM. Storage is 8 or 16GB, although that’s expandable via MicroSD.

On top of that there’s a pair of cameras (2MP rear and 0.3MP front-facing), HDMI output and a battery that should kick out up to 8 hours of use. Hardly the pinnacle of Android tab specs, sure, but it’s served up in a tidy, Nexus 7 inspired casing and is now available to UK customers from £119. That’s a bargain.

    Good for the price, but I would advise looking at better products on the market for a little more money. That telechips chip will struggle to cope with what most people want to use the tablet for.
    For example, check out the Window(Yuandao) N101 or the Cube U30GT.
    Both properly decently powerful dual core (RK3066 chipset, which has proven to be quite a stonking performer for the money) chipsets, both with 1280 * 800 IPS screens, bluetooth, HDMI out, coms with ICS etc etc can be had for £150-160 inc delivery and VAT.
