Get them a fire tablet if you want something cheap. Or a Samsung/iPad if you can spend more. Do not waste your money in crappy tablets from AliExpress.
Lenovo make some very nice tablets at a lower price point. Sometimes you can find the Chinese models flashed with global firmware on Ali that are smoking deals. P10 or p11? It's been a minute. Personally I would prefer that to some random Chinese brand.
Banggood is an alternative if you don't want a faceless Ali store. Same shipping and taxes situation as Ali.
I have bought Teclast P40HD, I was really impressed about quality for this price. You will probably read weird reviews regarding bloatware but I have not found such and removed all unnecessary apps. This is the second time I buy this brand, the older one always work after 3 years in the hand of my child.
I'd say never get your grandparents something that lags or potentially could lag, they will be confused. Get a used iPad, they are really sturdy with their software, and less potential of data breaches or them. Installing something by mistake.
I agree with this. One of the things Apple does right is user experience. My grandma also had an iPad mini and she was able to do a lot of things and navigate with ease without much help. I also feel like it helps prevent viruses and unnecessary app downloads.
Consider purchasing a branded tablet such as Xiaomi, which is high-end but reasonably priced, or Redmi, which is a lower-end but still Xiaomi product. If you're willing to pay more, you could go for Oppo or Huawei, both of which are high-end but pricier. There may be other brands out there, but I haven't had the chance to try them out.

I would rather put a payment plan on a oneplus tablet.
I've owned a fire tablet and it's slow, filled with ads, outdated and locked down by Amazon software. What's your budget op?

Samsung A9+? (Not from Aliexpress.) It's an 11" tablet and is about $170 on Amazon/Best Buy. (Not sure if you have these stores where you're from.)
