Singapore Expats

Can someone recommend me some cheap tablets with long battery life? My budget is maximum SG$150.
Tell me roughly what is the battery life for the recommended tablet...
for streaming videos alone?
for reading ebooks alone?
for general purpose?

And what price and where can I buy it. Thanks.

Edit:
After some considerations, I had narrowed down my tablet search to these 5 choices.

Lenovo Tab M8
Amazon Fire HD8
Samsung Galaxy Tab A8
Lenovo Tab M9
Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 lite

I am looking for long battery life to use with my logos bible app from google play to read their ebooks and maybe once in awhile, watch videos.

Which do you recommend I get?

Tab 8 for me

Considering your budget and usage preferences, the Lenovo Tab M8 or Amazon Fire HD8 could be solid choices. Check online retailers for the best deals. For optimal battery life with your apps, reviews suggest the Lenovo Tab M8 may suit your needs. Happy tablet hunting!

I'd recommend the Lenovo Tab M8 for its balance of battery life and price. It offers up to 12 hours of video streaming and 15 hours for reading eBooks. Available on Lazada for around SG$140.

I would recommend the Amazon Fire HD8 for your needs. It offers around 10-12 hours of battery life for streaming, and slightly more for reading eBooks due to its optimized display. It's one of the best options in your price range, especially if you're looking to use it with apps like the Logos Bible app. It's also very budget-friendly and can often be found for under SG$150 during sales.

I strongly advise against the Amazon Fire HD 8 if long-term usability is a priority. Its battery is notoriously hard to replace due to limited availability of third-party batteries and the need for specialized tools (e.g., heat guns) to disassemble the glued-in battery. Sourcing replacements locally in Singapore is also challenging, often requiring expensive imports.

Instead, consider the Lenovo Tab M8:
1.Battery Availability: Cheap and widely available online (Shopee/Lazada, ~SG$20-30).
For example： https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=L19D1P31

2. Replacement Ease: Simple disassembly with standard tools (no adhesive).

3. Bonus: Compact 8" screen, Google Play support, and often priced below SG$100 during sales.

While the screen is smaller than the Tab A8/M9, the Tab M8’s repairability and battery accessibility make it a practical choice for budget-conscious users.

Amazon Fire HD 10 is a solid budget pick — lasts around 12 hours, good for streaming and browsing. Lenovo Tab M10 is another decent option if you want Android instead of Fire OS

My daughter has a Xiaomi, too. Very good value for the money, and long battery life.

I’d go with the Lenovo Tab M9—it offers solid battery life for reading and light streaming. For the price, it’s a good balance of performance and endurance.

For your budget and needs, the Lenovo Tab M8 (3rd Gen) is the best choice — it’s affordable (around SG$130–150 on Shopee or Lazada), has solid build quality, and offers long battery life: about 10–12 hours for reading eBooks, 7–8 hours for streaming videos, and 8–10 hours for general use. It supports Google Play, runs the Logos Bible app smoothly, and is more battery-efficient than the Fire HD8 while being cheaper than the Samsung models.
