Going traveling shortly - don't want to take a laptop - or rely on my phone apps - but do want to be able to access banking and/or some interwebbing on hotel wifis.
Phone worries me in case it's pinched...
Thinking the best solution is a cheap reliable tablet - would probably put a vpn on it so can access Uk sites easily.
Any simple, cheap recommendations?

I bought this mainly for digital newspapers and things like BBC I-player.
I've used it abroad with a VPN to watch the various UK channels, and I would highly recommend it. It's also highly rated.

I do my all my online banking on a computer.
But if you do online banking on a phone, I don't think this is any different. And I can't see why you can't download the apps.
It would, however, be advisable to get internet security and a VPN.
EDIT: it has the Play Store, and the Nationwide banking app is available. [Post edited 4 Nov 2025 14:39]

It uses Android 13 which I think is pretty up to date. | | | |

Yeah, I heard that Android 12 was a bit rubbish  | |

Any idea if there’s a similar iOS version to sync with my apple laptop and phone, anyone?
Net sure I could get my head round reverting to android after about 6 years! |  |

There are loads of refurbished ipads and ipad minis out there. Only thing to double check is when Apple stop supporting them. |  | | |

Having tried a number of different tablets in the past, I'll always revert to iPads. They are not that expensive anymore and blackmarket and other such sites do good value refurb ones. |  | | |
