The nicest tablet is 10 inches. The most popular gadgets of the past year. Market positioning

Top models in all categories: summer 2016

We continue our cycle of guides to choosing mobile devices. After articles about fitness bracelets and smart watch we decided to summarize our experience in tablet testing in one article. We will periodically update the article and re-publish it, so that you can always find the latest information here, a description of the best models at the moment and the current prices for them.

If you want to know where to buy it, you can click here to see good offer... And in case you want to know something else, you can. This is to make your video and audio experience as comfortable as possible in the 7-inch size.

We think it is ideal for playing multimedia files because it has more than decent speakers and very good compatibility in its internal software to play all kinds of videos, etc. Something that might not be as great as these features is that the screen isn't all that tightly coupled to those components, although it's decent and its speed isn't quite fluid, reminding us of some of the more mid-range phones. We recommend it for general use and from time to time if you want to buy a 7-inch tablet as your first tablet.



The tablet fashion revolutionized the IT industry in 2010 with the emergence of Apple iPad (everything that was earlier cannot be called a mass phenomenon), reached its peak in 2012-2013 and since then began to fade away. Already in 2015, there was a clear feeling that everyone was tired of the tablets - both manufacturers and the public. And even a way out iPad Pro could not reverse the trend.

Inside mid-sized screens, the price of a tablet is best if you have a slightly more flexible budget and around 200 euros. While following this section, don't stop if you have a more limited budget but want quality, although keep in mind that it won't be the best on the market, but we believe if it's the best in terms of low range.

In terms of 7-inch tablets and the like, we've already made it clear that this is the best option if you're not looking for the largest range of small models. However, if you want the best technology in a small space, it is definitely still at the foot of the canyon and highly recommended to the users who bought it.

However, fashion is fashion, and nobody canceled everyday needs and tasks. Over the years, during which almost all families have acquired tablets, users are accustomed to the fact that such devices are convenient for reading books, surfing the Internet, flipping through social networks and mail (especially lying on the couch or in bed), watching videos and films, playing some types of games ... It is worth noting that tablets turned out to be an ideal device for children: it is with them that most of those born in the late 2000s begin to get acquainted with technology.

You can buy it from a physical technology store, but we recommend using the internet, where you can find a cheaper price, as well as guarantees of return and speed of dispatch. We searched for the most outstanding deals in each of the models. In this final section, we're going to collect what we previously recommended and why we no longer do it. We've looked at this a lot in the past.

You need to add it to this part of the list as the first position. Latest version - a great improvement to version 2 which is one of the referents standing on the bestseller after a short time to be released. It can be bought for about 200 euros cheaper than the manufacturer itself.



In general, whatever one may say, a tablet is a useful and pleasant thing. Maybe it is not as necessary as a smartphone and not as versatile as a laptop, but if there is an opportunity to acquire at least one tablet for a family, it is worth doing it. Therefore, the question of choice arises. Yes, and already existing tablet users sooner or later face the need to update the device - either because of the breakdown of the old one, or because of its obsolescence (which, however, happens more slowly than in the case of smartphones).

Likewise, by screen width, this is the model we recommend for home use. That's not all, apart from the 10 "screen, we can also find 2 8" versions for which the first option seems too large. You may end up considering a tablet with the best price point of this comparison. If you are thinking about getting one, we have found the best deal.

Why don't we recommend it? Although a very good pipe was received and sold very well, it was left without renovation and is no longer for sale. What are we writing about this? A very economical price to pay for the benefits you have. This tablet can be found very cheaply on the internet. Its design looks neat, tidy and elegant. For the cheap one that comes out has very powerful specifications at a very low price. The quality of the cameras is not the best you can find, although this is a key factor that makes this device the best quality tablet for those who think they can be at home and view.

So, if you decide to buy a tablet, you need to answer the main question: why and where in the first place will you use it (or are these two questions already? ..). The answer depends on the answer to two other fundamental questions: what operating system the tablet will be on and with what screen size.

Separate large articles can be written about the nuances of choosing between different OS and screen diagonals, but we will not go into details here and will try to highlight the main thing. With operating systems, it all comes down to whether you plan to use your tablet as a full-featured laptop replacement or not. That is, if you are going to travel with him on business trips, open and edit MS Office documents, run some professional programs such as Adobe Photoshop or 1C Accounting (at least occasionally), then it makes sense to purchase a tablet on Windows.

It is very used for recording, watching TV series and films. If your budget can be stretched further, this is the recommended option. Although the overall score is lower than the previous two, we rightly thought the price was higher, although for many it will be a tablet looking for price quality.

If your budget is tight, we recommend one of the previous two. If you want to take personalization and maximum performance into account at a price adjusted for those specs, I think you've found a tablet that you can buy. Also, if you already thought this is the tablet you want to buy, we did the dirty work and you can find the best deal above. Its benefits may be better, but we can say that it is mobile devicewhich is recommended for those who are thinking of purchasing their first mobile device, in this case it can be considered the best price for tablets.



But if the tablet is supposed to be used for entertainment (games, especially for children, videos, reading books and magazines, social networks ...), then in this case it is worth looking towards iOS / Android devices.

As for the diagonal, the key point here is the place of use. For home use, especially if the tablet is purchased for children or the elderly, a diagonal of about 10 inches is optimal. For constant carrying with you, it is more convenient to use a smaller device (for example, if you get to work by train or take the subway for a long time, then reading is most convenient from a tablet with a screen diagonal of about 8 inches). Well, diagonals of more than 11 inches are already designed for that rather narrow category of users who use a tablet for professional tasks, but they need a tablet, not a laptop. These can be artists, lecturers, etc. Finally, if you buy a tablet on the “let it be, but there is a use” principle and cannot decide in advance on the format of use, then take a device with a diagonal of about 10 inches, this is the most versatile option.

Therefore, it is not recommended that games or applications be very demanding, but for those who want a tablet to take it there without much annoyance, using social media and surfing the Internet is more than recommended. We've seen this in the budget range under € 200 and that's fine.

We think it's still a great model, but with new tablets coming out at affordable prices and hardware per day, it's hard to put this mobile device in the top three podium. At under 250 euros below its size is not the smallest, but the screen of this tablet is very manageable and has good features. We cannot provide a win for the tablet with the best price, because this is something that you, as a visitor, must decide, but if you want a similar screen to this, of course, recommend it.



Now, having decided on the diagonal and the operating system, we can go directly to the choice. We decided to make the rubrication on the diagonal, at the same time taking Windows tablets into a separate category, since they have their own specifics, which are even more significant than the diagonal itself.

Did this information help you?

Here you can see the best and most recommended offer we can find. If you use the offers we linked during the article, you will find the cheapest prices. Plus, buying your purchase will give us a small commission to help us with the blogging costs, the hours we've spent, and keep them ad-free.

  • The analyzes we do are objective.
  • We do not accept trademarks.
This time, we present a comparison so you can pick the best 10-inch tablet.

We warn you right away that we did not include in the article the products of little-known Chinese brands and their Russian "avatars", because we cannot vouch for their reliability and durability, and besides, there are a huge number of them, and they replace each other rapidly. so if you really want to save money, choose at your own peril and risk, focusing on the characteristics and reviews.

We've reduced the options to five models that go from 8 to 10 on the big screen, so we present the ones that were bought the most during the year, the ones with the budget range more suited to your pocket, and the most powerful in the case if you want to buy a tablet of these characteristics.

Comparison of each 10 inch tablet

We've categorized the best 10-inch custom pills, telling you the good and bad things of each. As a conclusion, we consider it the first position, because in terms of quality, the price is the best on the market, for this reason it is also the winner of this section. Today, around 200 euros, we cannot find many options. However, this 10-inch tablet offers us the fluidity and autonomy to be able to use it for hours on a daily basis.

Tablets 8 '' or smaller

The most famous compact tablet is by far iPad mini ... Although Apple did not recognize a diagonal of less than 9.7 inches for a long time (it was exactly what Jobs considered ideal), Tim Cook did not want to give the market of compact tablets to competitors. So it appeared iPad mini, and if the first model turned out to be inferior to the large iPad in all respects, then in the second generation iPad mini acquired a Retina display and a very powerful hardware filling.

It is also an affordable device for doing multiple tasks at once, as long as we don't squeeze hard. Something bad we can say because no device is perfect is that some changes could be made to the video system to accommodate more formats. However, the compatibility is great and we can use it in all situations. For those buyers who want a large tablet around 10 inches, this is undoubtedly best devicewhich we can recommend right now, perfect for tight budgets.



Since then, there have been two more updates: one cosmetic ( iPad mini 3), and the second (i.e. iPad mini 4) Is more serious. But still iPad mini 2 remains quite relevant option, optimal in terms of price and quality ratio. So, the cheapest version (with 16 GB of internal memory and without LTE) can be found for less than 20 thousand rubles.

In conclusion, we can say that this is an outstanding model, not just its specifications. Also for its very attractive design. As expected if you want to know more about her. If we have to say what is not convincing, maybe it is the screen, which if it is quite large, however, the resolution may be better, but also say that you need to fix enough.

In conclusion, with a good start, this model is ideal for those on a tight budget and therefore looking for a cheap 10-inch tablet without sacrificing a lot of quality items. The speakers available for this tablet can turn it into an ideal mobile device that ironically works great for the home and gives it a multimedia experience.

Of course, if you plan to actively use a tablet for taking photos / videos, then 16 GB is not enough, but as a portable reader and compact game console this is enough (again, if the games are not several gigabytes or ten, but smaller). The best option is perhaps 64 GB. But a good compromise in the case of the iPad mini 2 can be the 32GB version (newer generations no longer have such an option).

If we have to name the negative, it will be your camera that will not give you the best. Although this is a feature that is constantly repeated on these cheap tablets, whether 10 inches or not. If you can get the price down, almost always start with the camera, so this doesn't surprise us too much since this is a model that is a sea of \u200b\u200bgoodness.

Final conclusion, conclusion and assessment

These are our recommendations. Whereas a 10-inch tablet is used to more home or office use, we believe that in order to buy a tablet with these characteristics, the factor to consider is price. In this comparison, we have put the best with this type of screen, so it will depend on your price range to choose one.

Among Apple's competitors, Samsung has the widest range of compact tablets. There are models for every taste and wallet, although most of them, of course, occupy the lower segment. In this article, we will not recommend tablets with a screen resolution below Full HD, because, in our opinion, in 2016, it is possible to abandon normal image clarity only if there is simply no opportunity to buy more expensive models. And if, in principle, there is money and you want to choose some reasonable option, then you can save on everything except the quality of the screen. And although high resolution does not always mean that the screen is really good, the inverse relationship is undeniable: 1280 × 800 or 1024 × 768 clearly indicate that the screen has been saved.

It is clear that as we pay more improvements we will have, but with none of them you will not get stuck if you use it for navigation, Internet, social networks and besides. Of the most bought last year, you have the first 3 that also appeared, and if we need to choose one of the three, we recommend what caused the sales and good ratings customers and users who purchased it.

In this last section of 10-inch tablets, we wanted to include tablets that in recent months or even years we thought were right to include, but nevertheless, they have remained off the catwalk for one reason or another due to the models you will find right now on the list ... We find the cheapest tablet in the comparison, but that doesn't mean it will be bad. This is one of the pills we have rated the best, so if you have a budget it's worth considering.



So, going back to Samsung models, we would recommend Galaxy Tab S2 8.0. The option is not the cheapest, but interesting, first of all, the Super AMOLED screen (which means that there will be bright juicy colors and high energy efficiency when reading on a black background), which competitors cannot boast, as well as a fingerprint scanner and the current version of Android ( 6.0 Marshmallow).

It has been one of the best selling and well tested this year, so it gives us a good hint of what to expect. If we need to highlight one aspect above the rest, this will be the screen. On the negative side, we can’t buy the data version, only wireless, and that their cameras are not very good. Something we can expect thanks to these nice features.

As you can deduce by the price, it has a lot of power and maintains very good fluidity, although multiple apps open at the same time, so this is a tablet that holds up to demand. It is also made of high quality materials and gives a very comfortable hand feeling. More to keep in mind that you should be short on touch screen, come on, it is not very sensitive, although it gives the size.

Another interesting iPad mini alternative is Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact ... Water resistance draws attention here (of course, we do not recommend using it under water, but lying on the beach with it without fear of getting sand and splashing the sea is quite possible. Add to this the minimum weight (270 grams) and a rather powerful filling (Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 3GB random access memory) - and we get a great option, especially for fans of the Sony brand.

By the way, an important nuance: the iPad mini and Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 has a 4: 3 aspect ratio. And at Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact - 16: 9. The first is more convenient for the Internet, the second for watching movies.



An interesting solution (primarily in the area of \u200b\u200bdesign) - Lenovo Yoga Tablet 8 2. This tablet has a stand along the long side of the case, and the center of gravity of the device is shifted towards it. Therefore, without additional accessories, you can place the tablet in a convenient position for watching movies or reading, or place it on the table so that its side farthest from you rises slightly above the table. This is a convenient option for typing on the virtual keyboard.

The specifications of the Lenovo Yoga Tablet 8 2 are not bad, but the Android version is old (4.4), and this, of course, is a minus. But the price is also low.



As you have already noticed, all the models that we talked about in this section have a screen diagonal of about 8 inches. But what about the seven-inch models? Of course, they are also on the market, especially in the budget segment. But today it seems to us inappropriate to purchase them, since their display is not much larger than that of tablet phones with a 5.5-5.7-inch screen, but using them as a smartphone is already inconvenient. That is, neither here nor there.

9 '' to 10 '' tablets

Of course, we start with the iPad - over the past six years since the release of the first iPad, Apple has never lost its leadership in the tablet market (as opposed to the smartphone market). And the 9.7 ″ iPad remains the de facto standard.



True, among the current models, Apple has two options: iPad Air 2 and iPad Pro 9.7 ″ ... The Pro's trump card is support for a keyboard cover and stylus (but they need to be purchased additionally, and they are expensive), a more productive SoC, stereo speakers and a better camera.

But iPad Air 2 and without all this remains an excellent choice, while its price is significantly lower. In general, we recommend the iPad Air 2, and only if you are firmly convinced that you need the above features, then take iPad Pro... In our opinion, the price / performance ratio of the iPad Air 2 is significantly better.

The competitors are the same: Sony, Samsung, Lenovo, as well as Huawei, whose MediaPad M2 10.0 seemed to us a good alternative to the iPad Pro 9.7 ″. Let's start with him. Like the iPad Pro, the Huawei tablet allows you to use a pressure-sensitive stylus (there are versions of the tablet with and without a stylus). In addition, the tablet has a fingerprint scanner and stereo speakers. In general, the design is very decent.

This is not to say that Huawei MediaPad M2 10.0 amazed us with something, it does not have any unique or outstanding features, but the balance of features and price is quite good.



The flagship solutions from Sony and Samsung are somewhat more expensive, but they are also more interesting. In principle, their key features are identical to the eight-inch models described above: Samsung has a Super AMOLED Plus display, while Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet - water resistance.


Sony, however, has a higher resolution (2560 x 1600) and a more comfortable aspect ratio for watching movies (16: 9). And both tablets are very thin and light.



Lenovo offers a very interesting model. The Yoga Tablet 3 Pro has not only the original design, similar in concept to the Yoga Tablet 8 2 described above, but also a built-in projector, four JBL speakers and a very capacious battery (10200 mAh).

The screen of the tablet has a resolution of 2560 × 1600, and inside is an Intel Atom x5 Z8500 processor. True, the dimensions and weight of the Yoga Tablet 3 Pro are significantly less attractive than those of the flagships of Samsung and Sony, and the advisability of having a projector (of course, rather weak) is questionable.

Windows tablets and / or tablets larger than 11 inches

An interesting fact: there are practically no tablets with a diagonal of 11 inches or larger on Android. Previously on sale was Samsung Galaxy NotePro 12.2 , but now it is not available either. In fact, the only player in the large format tablet niche with a mobile operating system is iPad Pro 12.9-inch.

What can I say? Highest performance on a mobile ARM platform, superb display, stereo speakers, support for an Apple Pencil, perfect for professional artists, an attachable cover keyboard for touch-typing ... The price constraint will naturally be the price - right say, biting. But there is one more problem: with all its advantages, the iPad Pro cannot be called a universal device - just because of the mobile OS (and therefore - the lack of traditional ports and access to the file system). Therefore, the iPad Pro cannot replace the laptop.



Realizing this, Apple's competitors have relied on Windows 10, which, in general, is quite logical. After all, such devices, approaching in size to laptops, already imply not only entertainment, but also professional use, and for professional tasks a full-fledged operating system is, of course, better.

The range of Windows tablet brands is different from what we've seen with Android. Here Dell, Lenovo, HP, that is, manufacturers of business laptops, come to the fore. This is understandable: such tablets are, in fact, laptops without a keyboard (more precisely, with a detachable keyboard). Take Dell XPS 12, for example.

12.5-inch display with 4K resolution (3840x2160), 6th generation Intel Core m processors (like in MacBook 12 ″), up to 8 GB of RAM, 64-bit Windows 10 Pro, Thunderbolt interface ... Impressive! As, however, and the price.



Simpler and cheaper option: Lenovo ThinkPad 10 2. 10.1 ″ Full HD screen, Intel Atom x7 Z8700 processor, 4 GB of RAM, stylus support, USB 3.0 and Micro-HDMI ports.

An important caveat: such tablets can be connected using hubs and adapters to external monitor and peripherals, using as a full-fledged computer on Windows. It is clear that on such a computer you will not especially work with Adobe Photoshop or Premier, and, moreover, you will not play. But for demonstrating presentations, working with documents and other professional tasks that do not require high performance, they are perfect.



One of the top options (alas, not officially sold in Russia, but available from many resellers) is Microsoft Surface Pro 4. It is already based on a full-fledged laptop configuration - Intel Core-i generation Skylake, SSD-drive from 128 GB, from 4 GB random access memory. Plus to this - an impressive screen resolution: 2736 × 1824 with a diagonal of 12.3 ″.

True, in the case of Windows, it's not always worth chasing an ultra-high screen resolution, because the interface of far from all Windows programs is optimized to use scaling of 150-200%. And without scaling, all icons and icons will be tiny on a small tablet screen. So here you can save on resolution by taking, for example, the HP Elite X2 (with an 11.6 ″ display and a resolution of 1366 × 768) or something similar.

Note that when buying such devices, you should pay attention to whether there is a keyboard in the kit or not, because if it is not there, then the cost of the keyboard must be added to the price. To use a Windows tablet without a keyboard seems odd to say the least.

We have only listed products from the most famous brands here. If you wish, you can pick up something similar from less titled companies. Of course, it will be cheaper. And you can also wait for the appearance of two new players on the market: Huawei with the MateBook model (it will be released in a few days) and Asus with the new Transformer line. Judging by our acquaintance with them at presentations, these are very powerful devices that can correct the alignment on the market.

findings

Having studied the modern tablet market, we can draw several conclusions, which at the same time turn out to be tips for buyers.

First of all, it's worth keeping in mind that the Android tablet market is in deep decline. First, for last year there was not a single really big announcement. That is, the manufacturers themselves do not really believe in the prospects of this direction. Secondly, many very good models of 2013-2014 are already problematic to find on sale. For example, Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet and Z3 Tablet or Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 / 8.4. There is no significant progress here, so you can safely buy tablets from two to three years ago, including at online flea markets and sales. But if you want to keep up with the times and expect to get a really relevant device, then look either at iOS or at the Windows model.

The second point: there is practically no point in purchasing tablets less than 8 inches - only something completely cheap for some specific task (for example, taxi workers). But among the 8-inch models there are already good options, including those on Android (although this does not negate the above about Android tablets in general). But Windows tablets less than 10 inches are not worth taking, since there will not be much sense in this.

But among the models over 11 inches, just Windows tablets seem to us the most interesting solution. The choice here is quite large, and the price range is huge (although top brands do not have very cheap options). True, here you need to think carefully: do you really need a tablet, and is it not worth spending the same money on a compact laptop if you plan to use the device for work, or on a 10-inch iOS / Android tablet if you have fun? Still, no matter how Microsoft promotes its tiled interface and Windows Store, iOS and Android are more convenient for entertainment and purely tablet use with their huge selection of applications.

And the third point. If you bought a tablet two or three years ago, and it generally suits you, that is, it does not slow down, does not bother with external defects, etc., then there is no point in buying new tablet not. You won't get anything qualitatively new.
