FNIRSI DPOS350P
For hobbyists who want a high claimed bandwidth, a spectrum view and a generator in a portable 7 in tablet. Memory depth is the trade-off.

An oscilloscope draws a voltage against time, which a multimeter cannot. These rankings cover the scopes hobbyists, car repairers and electronics students buy: pocket scope-multimeters, tablet scopes and entry bench scopes, from FNIRSI, Hanmatek, Hantek, OWON, Zoyi, Rigol, Siglent and Micsig. PC-only USB scopes and lab scopes above about $800, such as Fluke ScopeMeters and Tektronix and Keysight bench models, are left out.
Bandwidth is the headline number, and here it is always the maker’s claim. We have not verified it, and cheap importers often state it generously. A scope should have a sample rate of at least four or five times its bandwidth to show a signal well, so look at sample rate and memory depth beside it.
Form is the next choice. A handheld runs on a battery and fits a toolbox. A tablet scope has a larger touchscreen and often a multimeter. A bench scope has the most memory and the best screen but needs mains or DC power.
Resolution is mostly 8-bit. A few scopes here have 12-bit converters, which show small signals and ripple much better.
