Latest Android slates come in 10.8- and 8.4-inch flavors, with optional pen input and a desktop mode. Your options for good, cheap Android tablets a pretty limited these days. Samsung`s Tab S3 line is the go-to option for many in the West. Huawei, however, occupies the number three spot for tablet sales — after Apple and Samsung — when you look at the global numbers.
