Last year, Tesco’s Hudl tablet came as something of a surprise. Few people would have expected that an Android tablet offered by a supermarket at such a low price could be any good – but many people were very pleasantly surprised.

It’s easy is dismiss low-cost tablet out of hand but, without wanting to spoil the conclusion of the Tesco Hudl 2 review, sometimes there are devices that buck the trend, offering something really quite special at a great price.

How does it stack up against the competition out there? We’ve been playing around with the Galaxy S4 for a few days and we have a few words to say on the matter. Here is our Galaxy S4 review.
