The season of holidays and warm sunny weather is inexorably approaching its logical conclusion, and it is time to see which model of the “tablet” is currently the most popular. What is the best tablet right now ? This question is probably of interest to those who plan in the near future to acquire this mega-popular gadget. So, meet the top three.
Apple iPad 4 with Retina display
This model took third place in our impromptu rating. Many believe that the fourth iPad is the best tablet not only in the summer, but throughout the current year, and it is quite difficult to object to this. The parameters of this device are as follows:
- diagonal of the screen - 9.7 ″;
- display type - Retina IPS with a resolution of 2048x1536;
- type of operating system - iOS;
- video camera - 1.2 megapixels;
- camera - 5 megapixels;
- battery power - 42.5 Wh.
The price of this miracle of computer thought has so far been “biting,” but let's not forget that today there is a clear tendency to increase sales of devices running the Android system - this means that the competition between manufacturers will be tightened. And this is good for us, since prices will definitely fall in the future. Let's wait.
Nexus 7 3G
Google engineers have their own vision of what the best tablet of the year should be. Let me introduce the Google
Nexus 7 model
, which took second place in our ranking. It seems that the creator of the most popular Android OS has decided not to be inferior in design and functional characteristics to its competitors and every time it releases all the best and best devices. Nexus 7 was no exception. Parameters:
- display - 7 inches;
- screen technology - IPS;
- resolution - 1280 x 800;
- camera - 1.2 megapixels;
- system - Android 4.2 Jelly Bean;
- 3G modem - present;
- battery power - 4325 mAh.
Some experts believe that this is the most successful model from the world's most popular search engine. This time, Google’s specialists focused on compactness, convenience, performance and style. At the same time, the price in comparison with analogues looks quite decent. Of the shortcomings, we can note only the lack of a microSD slot, which does not allow to increase the internal memory. However, this minus is compensated by constant fresh updates and a lot of free programs from Google Play. The listed advantages simply could not go unnoticed, and therefore some users believe that it is Nexus 7 - this is the best tablet this year.
Sony Xperia Tablet Z
The leader of our review was the excellent waterproof “tablet” shown by Sony at an exhibition in Barcelona at the end of February this year. The excellent design (case thickness <= 7 mm) and high-quality assembly, complemented by a rich set of programs and excellent technical elements, allow us to clearly state that this gadget is the best tablet of 2013. And for those who still doubt it, we recommend paying attention to its water and dust resistance. Of course, such advantages will certainly affect the cost, especially if the model also contains 3G. But, as they say, the greedy pays twice, and really good tablets (the prices of which are comparable to the cost of powerful laptops) pay for themselves by serving for a very long time, constantly pleasing their owner with the comfort of use.
