Introduction: The 20-Forint Question
When looking for a tablet, the market shocks us with two extremes: on the one hand, there are premium models costing hundreds of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, and on the other hand, suspiciously cheap devices from unknown brands. However, most users are looking for something in between: a reliable device that is perfectly suited for basic tasks (browsing, YouTube, Netflix, emailing), but doesn't empty the wallet.
However, the biggest stumbling block of cheap tablets is usually the software: a nice display is useless if it runs a 3-4 year old, outdated Android system that no longer receives security updates or is incompatible with modern applications. This is exactly the niche that the N-ONE Y1 tablet, which is trying to break the rules with an almost unbelievably aggressive price tag. It promises that for just 20 thousand forints we will not only get a 10-inch tablet, but we will also get the latest Android 14 operating system, 8GB of RAM, and a complete starter package with a case and a screen protector. But what is the fine print?
The Package That Solves Everything: Unboxing and First Impressions
One of the biggest tricks of the **N-ONE Y1 tablet** is that the price already includes the accessories that we have to pay separately for with other brands. In the box you will find not only the tablet itself, a Type-C cable and an EU charging adapter, but also a precisely fitting case and a screen protector.
This means immediate savings in practice. You don't have to spend days browsing the internet for a suitable case, and you don't have to worry about scratches. The included case is a simple but functional "book-style" case that protects both the display and the back, and can also be used as a stand for watching movies. This kind of care in this price range is extremely commendable, and makes the device ready for use immediately, whether you're giving it as a gift to a child or an elderly relative.
The **N-ONE Y1 tablet** itself is a clean, no-frills piece. The 497 gram weight and 8.8 mm thickness are completely average, comfortable to hold in your hand. The back is plastic, but it feels solid. The assembly quality is absolutely fine, there are no annoying gaps or creaks. The frame of the 10.1-inch display is not ultra-thin, but this is more of an advantage than a disadvantage: you can hold it comfortably without accidentally touching the display.
The Biggest Attraction: Android 14 on a 20-forint tablet
This is the most important and most noteworthy feature of the **N-ONE Y1 tablet**. While a significant number of competing cheap tablets are still sold with Android 12 or 13 (at best), N-ONE has installed the latest Android 14 system on the Y1. But why is this so important for the user?
The answer is “future-proofing.” A fresh operating system has three key benefits:
- **Security:** Android 14 includes the latest privacy features and security protocols. This means your data is more secure and your system is more protected against malware.
- **Compatibility:** This is perhaps the most important. As the years go by, applications (especially banking and streaming apps like Netflix or HBO) require newer versions of Android. A tablet with an outdated system suddenly wakes up to the fact that it cannot run your favorite apps. With Android 14, the **N-ONE Y1 tablet** guarantees that it will remain compatible with the Google Play Store for years to come.
- **Modern Features:** Although the N-ONE uses a “stock” Android, the refinements of Android 14 (better battery management, more customizable interface) all contribute to a more pleasant user experience.
The fact that the **N-ONE Y1 tablet** is able to offer a completely modern software foundation at such a low price is remarkable in itself. This is not an “out-of-the-box” device, but a truly 2024 (or even 2025) entry-level machine.
Under the Hood: Rockchip RK3562 and “8GB RAM”
Of course, the price champion title also comes with compromises, and these are mostly in the area of raw power. The heart of the **N-ONE Y1 tablet** is powered by a Rockchip RK3562 processor. This is a modern, 2.0 GHz, quad-core (Quad Core) ARM Cortex-A53 processor, which is complemented by an ARM Mali-G52 GPU (graphics accelerator).
What does this mean in practice? This chip is not a powerhouse. We won't be running 3D games (like Genshin Impact) on high graphics settings with it. But it wasn't designed for that. The Rockchip RK3562 is a particularly low-power processor optimized for media consumption. It provides perfectly enough power to smoothly navigate the Android 14 interface, scroll through websites, read emails, and most importantly, play 1080P videos (e.g. YouTube) smoothly.
The other big marketing buzzword is “4GB+4GB RAM”, which the manufacturer advertises as “8GB RAM”. It is important to be clear here. The **N-ONE Y1 tablet** has 4GB of physical, built-in RAM. The “other 4GB” is so-called virtual memory. This means that the system “borrows” 4GB from the 64GB internal storage when needed and uses it as temporary memory.
This solution is clearly better than having only 4GB of RAM in the device, as it helps with multitasking (multiple apps can run in the background without the system closing them). However, it is important to know that virtual memory (which comes from the slower ROM) will never be as fast as real, physical RAM. The bottom line: the **N-ONE Y1 tablet** handles open apps better than a regular 4GB counterpart, but don't expect the speed of a true 8GB high-end device.
64GB of internal storage (ROM) is now the absolute minimum, but it will fit most basic apps and some data. The real salvation is the MicroSD card slot, which can officially accept up to 1TB cards. This essentially solves the storage problem: we can download movies, series, and music to the card.
Display and Multimedia: What is 1280×800 Good For?
**N-ONE Y1 tablet** has a 10.1-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1280×800. This is where the low price is most noticeable. This resolution is not Full HD, so if you look very closely, the edges of the text or images will not be razor-sharp. The pixel density is lower than what we are used to on a modern smartphone.
However (and this is an important but), the panel is IPS technology. This means that the colors are vivid, the contrast is okay, and the viewing angles are excellent – the colors don’t invert when viewed from the side, like with cheaper TN panels. In practice, from a normal distance (e.g. propped up on a table to read a recipe, or held on your lap to watch a movie), this resolution is completely enjoyable. It displays Netflix, YouTube, Disney+ content without any problems. The lower resolution also has an advantage: it puts less strain on the processor and battery.
The multimedia capabilities are completed by the built-in speakers and cameras. The speakers are basic, providing enough volume for watching movies, but don't expect miracles from them. The real good news is the presence of a 3.5mm headphone port! The **N-ONE Y1 tablet** doesn't force us to buy expensive Bluetooth headphones, we can connect any traditional wired headphones to it.
The cameras (2.0MP front, 5.0MP rear) serve exactly what they should in this category: video calls (Messenger, Zoom, Teams) and document or QR code scanning. The front camera is perfect for this, and the rear camera is perfect for taking a picture of a receipt. Don't use it to take vacation photos.
Battery and Connectivity: The Compulsory Compromises
**N-ONE Y1 tablet** has a 5000mAh battery. This is not large compared to a 10.1-inch tablet. However, as we mentioned with the display, the lower resolution and the energy-efficient RK3562 processor consume less. Thus, the device can provide 3-5 hours of screen time with normal use (browsing, watching videos at medium brightness), which is usually enough for a tablet used at home on the couch.
In terms of connectors, the **N-ONE Y1 tablet** has the essentials, but nothing more. Charging is done via a modern Type-C port, which is commendable. There is also a 3.5mm jack and MicroSD expansion. However, the low price shows in terms of wireless connections.
The tablet supports Bluetooth 5.0, which provides a modern and stable connection. However, WiFi only supports the 2.4GHz band, not the 5GHz band. This means that WiFi speeds will be slower, and in crowded apartment buildings (where there are many other 2.4GHz networks), the connection may be less stable. This is enough for basic browsing and HD video streaming, but we cannot take advantage of the benefits of a 5GHz router.
The other two important shortcomings that you should be aware of: the **N-ONE Y1 tablet** does not have a GPS module, and there is no 4G (SIM card) slot. This clearly positions the device: it is a device for use at home, on a WiFi network. It is not suitable for car navigation or for browsing on the go, using the mobile network.
Who do we recommend the N-ONE Y1 tabletand?
The **N-ONE Y1 tablet** is a device that is extremely sharp, focused on price-performance ratio. It doesn't want to appear to be anything more than what it is: the cheapest entry ticket to the world of modern, up-to-date tablets. It knows exactly where to compromise (display resolution, WiFi, GPS) in order to get the best value for money in the most important things (fresh software and a complete package).
We highly recommend:
- For children's first tablet: It's cheap, protected by a case and a screen protector, and runs the latest Android 14, so YouTube Kids and educational games run smoothly. If you drop it, it won't cause 100 kronor worth of damage.
- For older age groups: The 10.1-inch display makes it easy to read news, the 2MP front-facing camera is perfect for keeping in touch with relatives, and it's easy to use.
- For your kitchen “second screen”: It's perfect for watching YouTube on the table while cooking or browsing recipes.
- For anyone looking for the cheapest possible tablet, but NOT one that is software-wise outdated: If you just need a device on the couch for reading the evening news or watching videos, and your phone's display is already small, the **N-ONE Y1 tablet** is an unbeatable choice for the money.
