Best tablets on the market

The size of the tablet can range from about 7 inches wide to 12 inches. The size of the tablet screen may vary depending on the bezel, which is the part between the screen and the edge of the device.

Most small tablets are usually ideal if you are looking for something more portable and easy to fit in your bag. Large tablets are more cumbersome to transport and are not recommended for day-to-day use outside the home.

Tablets screen

Make sure you get a good screen with anti-glare coating and good color depth. If you are able to compare tablets in the store, look outside to see how many fingerprint marks are on the screens. IPS and multi-viewing angle technologies are another good feature.

Screen resolution is important, too, and if you primarily want to use your tablet for entertainment, like playing games and watching movies, it's worth paying more for higher resolution and more visual detail.

Resolution is the number of pixels included on your screen, the more the better. As you can know regarding what also happens with TVs, the best screen that you can currently get is 4K (4, 096 x 2, 160), but this amount has yet to reach tablets.

You are more likely to find tablets with HD resolution (1920 × 1080), but probably not less than 1024 x 600 (known as WSVGA).

Tablet storage

Tablets typically have at least 8 GB of storage, although some of this can be consumed by pre-installed apps that cannot be removed.

Storage options typically increase in duplicate: 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB. Obviously, the one with the most storage is the most expensive.

Many tablets give the option of increasing the amount of storage at a low price by using a microSD card. Also remember that there are cloud storage options that save space and store photos, music and movies online, instead of directly on your tablet.

Tablet processors

Most tablets use at least a dual core processor. A quad-core processor with 2GB of RAM adds to the cost, but it also means the device will handle games and play videos seamlessly.

Android tablets

Android tablets are manufactured by a lot of different companies. Samsung and Sony are the best-known brands on Android tablets, but LG, Acer, Asus and Toshiba are other reliable brands. Google also co-develops tablets like the Nexus, which it made with HTC.

Some of these companies add their own applications to the Android tablets they sell, but these are not to everyone's liking. For example, Samsung tablets run the TouchWiz interface, with lots of different features.

There are plenty of Android tablets to choose from and the price is often a good indicator of quality. If you really need to keep costs down, you can buy a cheap Android tablet, but there will be a big difference in build quality, screen resolution and performance compared to the more expensive ones.

WE RECOMMEND YOU Google will reduce the development of tablets and Notebooks

Google tends to update Android every year. The newer version is called Marshmallow, but phones and tablets are being sold with older Android versions, such as KitKat and Lollipop. Updates are issued at different times, depending on the agreement of each tablet with Google.

IOS tablets

Such is its popularity, that the iPad is a synonym for tablet. The build quality, design, ease of use, and choice of apps has proven to be reason enough for millions of people to choose an iPad, and they are unlikely to regret it. In fact, the price is most likely to deter you from choosing an Apple tablet.

The applications downloaded from the Apple App Store bring together millions of people, many of them specially designed for use on a tablet.

The latest iPad models, the 12.9-inch iPad Pro and 7.9-inch iPad Mini 4, are the best and most popular among iOS tablets that people choose.

Apple tends to update its operating system every year, most recently to iOS 9, to add new features and functionality. Because it has so few tablets, unlike Android, that Apple is quite generous in providing updates for older devices.
