For study work plus video calling, the choice hinges less on brand and more on a few practical tradeoffs: screen comfort for long reading and multitasking versus portability and one‑hand use, and front‑camera / microphone quality for reliable calls. noted study and video calls as the priorities; was right to recommend hands‑on testing, and ’s point about a larger display helping reading is valid — below are focused, actionable checks that were missing from the thread.

Useful in‑store checks and quick lab tests include opening a long PDF or ebook to judge text legibility and brightness at a normal reading distance, and making a live 10–15 minute video call (Skype/WhatsApp/other) to evaluate front‑camera clarity, speaker volume and microphone pickup while watching for heat and battery drain. Try a few browser tabs and a notes app at the same time to gauge responsiveness, and type a paragraph on the on‑screen keyboard (and, if planning heavy typing, on a Bluetooth/folio keyboard).

Key specifications and practical considerations: prefer a device with enough RAM for smooth multitasking (2 GB or more in older devices), reasonable screen resolution for reading, either adequate internal storage or microSD expansion, and a reliable front camera and mic. Confirm whether the maker still issues OS/security updates if long term use is intended. Battery endurance under streaming/video call loads matters more than nominal battery capacity.

Tradeoffs and accessories: smaller phone‑style tablets are easier to carry and may support cellular calling; larger tablets make reading and video framing easier and often have larger batteries. Useful extras for study/video calls are a case with stand, a small tripod or adjustable stand, a Bluetooth headset for clearer audio, and an external keyboard for long typing sessions.

Quick checklist:

  • Screen: legibility of a sample textbook PDF at normal distance; check brightness and glare.
  • Camera/audio: perform a 10–15 minute live video call to judge clarity and mic pickup.
  • Performance: open multiple tabs and a notes app; test typing.
  • Battery/heat: stream or call for 20–30 minutes to check drain and warmth.
  • Storage/expansion: verify usable internal space and microSD option.
  • Updates/support: confirm current OS and whether updates are provided.

Computer/phone/tablet gear is very subjective. Try them out at the store (provided you have a store with the devices in question) and then decide which works best for you.

Well, herein I would say both of them offers good deal, I can't suggest you until I hear what are your requirements from device? Why I am saying this is because striking anyone out i.e the Ausus fonepad or Lenovo A10 is just way to tough.

Then, I guess head over for Lenovo A10 as it offers good screen size i.e of 10.1 inch screen and I guess you are already aware about the backup offered by such devices.
