There are a couple of other cheap-but-powerful SoCs too BTW, I just
named this one because I read about them recently (they sell their SoC
for 5 USD or less if you order large amounts from them).

FWIW: HDMI is supported internally by the SOC so, simply said,
manufacturers just need to connect a physical HDMI connector to it...
(The Allwinner A10 also has on-chip SATA support, which is quite
exceptional for this type of SoC).

An example of such a tablet, costing 150 USD:

(And you can find even cheaper ones.)

Lots of similar tablets are sold rebadged to local supermarket brands,
so I won't be surprised if they turn up in your local Carrefour or Aldi
or Blokker some of these days...
