Actual material: Tablets rating 2020.

We evaluated popular tablet models based on a variety of factors, including performance, battery life, screen quality, and price. The ratings on Yandex.Market and expert reviews of popular specialized publications such as Techradar and Techadvisor were also taken into account.

The device in a stylish case made of a single piece of anodized aluminum looks much more expensive than its price.

GPS instantly finds satellites and does not lose them in the process. All applications (except the most demanding ones) are fast.

In the kit there is a protective film (already glued to the screen) and a case and even a stylus.

Separately, you can purchase a keyboard cover M5 Folio, this accessory is connected to the tablet via a magnetic connector.

One of the best budget tablets that can perform, in addition to the main function, the functions of a DVR, a navigator and a mobile phone. A protective anti-glare film is already pasted on the device’s screen, Wi-Fi works smartly, and audibility during calls is excellent. The display is bright enough and responsive to touch. Out of the box there is an application "Commonwealth", which includes road maps of Russia and the CIS countries. What else do you need from an inexpensive tablet?

The best 7-inch tablet at the moment is definitely the iPad mini 4. It has an excellent screen, impeccable build quality, a fingerprint scanner and NFC, and many Apple applications. You will not be disappointed if you can afford it.

The new ProMotion screen offers an impressive level of brightness, excellent color reproduction and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. At the same time, the scope of the new product is much larger than that of the iPad Pro 9.7. Another advantage of the device is its excellent rear camera, which 90% of tablets cannot boast of.

Cons: does not support the mouse, the screen is not protected from scratches, high price.

• working time (video) 12 h
• accelerometer gyroscope

This is a worthy opponent of the fourth issue in our review. Although its screen size is slightly smaller, its price is much lower, and its capabilities are no less than those of the iPad Pro 10.5. It has a USB-C port, as well as four speakers, a fingerprint scanner and a mechanical Home button. The screen has a resolution of 2048 × 1536 and supports high dynamic range (HDR).

Thanks to its fast quad-core processor, the Galaxy Tab S3 is capable of launching heavy applications. He also offers the opportunity to work with the stylus S-Pen, which comes with the kit. The resolution of the rear camera allows you to shoot photos and videos of good quality using a tablet.

Samsung’s adaptive fast charge provides a full charge in just three hours, giving you 12 hours of intensive tablet use.

Cons: the back glass cover makes the Tab S3 a “slippery type”, so don't put it on an uneven surface - it will slip.

• front camera 0.3 megapixels
• working time 4 hours
• accelerometer

The best children's tablet, judging by the reviews on Yandex.Market. Packed in a bright rubberized case that simulates the coloring of a zebra or leopard, respectively. A feature of the device is access to the company directory, where there are over 50 development and training applications TURBO. The presence of a slot for a memory card allows you to download many games and programs to the tablet, and parental control ensures that the child does not spend more time “sticking into the tablet” than necessary. We also note a screen that is comfortable in terms of brightness and contrast and a responsive touchscreen.

The downside is the weak rear camera. In addition, the device is quite heavy - 290 grams, and its battery is not very capacious (3000 mAh).

1. Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 SM-T585

• working time (video) 13 h

In the ranking of tablets in 2018, this model is ahead of all competitors in user reviews. This is one of the best Android tablets to date, and it can also work as a mobile phone. So for a relatively low price you actually get a mobile phone with a huge screen. Excellent build quality, a 7300 mAh battery (which is 2-3 days of battery life), the ability to work with memory cards up to 200 Gb, a bright and responsive display make this tablet the best of 10 inch.

And playing games on it is a pleasure, even the most modern ones go without slowing down.

Cons: not the cheapest tablet. Do not expect good quality when shooting videos or taking photos. If you need superb photos, better buy one of the best camera phones of 2018.
