Powerful Processor
Samsung holds the title of the most popular manufacturer of Android devices. Its smartphones and tablets have different functionality and prices, so they can satisfy the needs of every user. The Galaxy Tab A is one of the more advanced models that can be used both for work and play.
This 10-inch tablet is fitted with an advanced 8-core processor. The Exynos 7904A ensures that the device will work smoothly, without glitches or delays. This tablet is also able to tackle a few operations at once. This model supports Android 9.0 Pie, one of the most advanced versions of this operating system so far, and it is also fitted with the latest version of Bluetooth.
The next good thing about this model is the camera quality. Like most of the modern gadgets available today, this model is fitted with both rear and front cameras. The main camera with an 8-MP resolution and an Autofocus feature allows you to take high-quality pictures and film videos and watch them on a tablet, HD monitor or TV. And the 5-MP front camera also makes for pretty decent selfies.
As for battery life, it is pretty average. The tablet is able to work for about 13 hours on one charge. The charger is your average USB type C cord. The unit also has a pretty sleek design and is available in 3 colors: silver, black, and gold.
Quality Image
Surely, this big-screen tablet from Samsung is suitable for playing games, watching films and videos. The resolution of the 10-inch display is pretty good (1200 x 1920 pixels). Hence, you will get a quality image. The only thing we don’t really like is the placement of the speakers. They are both situated on one side, that’s why watching a movie in landscape mode may be a bit uncomfortable. But since this device is fitted with a 3.5 mm stereo port, you can connect your headphones or a separate pair of speakers.
The other extra features include a Wi-Fi module for wireless connectivity and a MicroSD slot for a separate memory card. The tablet’s RAM equals 3 GB and the amount of the onboard storage is about 64 GB, but you can add up to 512 GB. The last perk we want to highlight is the weight of this tablet. It is just slightly heavier than 1 pound, so we hope you or your children will have no trouble carrying it around.
To wrap the whole thing up, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A is a pretty powerful appliance that will be equally suitable for working tasks and entertainment. This robust appliance from a trusted brand is definitely worth every penny.

Unique Operating System
Want a simple yet functional tablet for family use? If so, we highly recommend purchasing the Amazon Fire HD Tablet. The 2019 edition offers you some useful innovations that make this affordable gadget a very worthy buy.
The whole line of Amazon tablets works on a unique operating system called Fire OS. The 2019 edition is fitted with one of the latest versions (Fire 7.3) that is based on Android 9.0 Pie. Thanks to that, you can use Alexa with this tablet for hands-free voice control. Plus, you get easy access to different Amazon services that provide you with various multimedia content like books, films, music, and so on.
The tablet works on a MediaTek 2 GHz Quad-Core processor. It may not be the most advanced one on the market, but it is still powerful enough to provide quick performance while you read, watch videos or play games. The amount of RAM is 2 GB, plus there is 32 GB of built-in storage. You can expand it with a microSD card up to 512 GB.
Moving on to the screen, this model is fitted with a 10.1” display. Its resolution is 1200 x 1920. Hence, it will be a pleasure to watch films and videos or view photos on this Full HD screen. The only disappointing thing about this device is the camera quality. Both the rear and the front camera have a resolution of 2 MP, which is not enough to take good selfies or film high-quality videos. Yet, most people won't be bothered by this minor con.
Fast Charging
As for the design, Amazon made its tablet in a sleek matte body. It is available in black and white colors as well as in bright blue and plum. You can also purchase the tablet with a case and a screen protector.
Moving on to the battery capacity, it is pretty decent for a tablet. It can work autonomously for about 12 hours. But when it comes to charging time, a lot of users seem to be very pleased. The USB Type-C Port with a 9-W charger significantly shortens it, so this process lasts only for 4 hours. If you want to make it even shorter (up to 3 hours), you may separately purchase an advanced 15-W power adapter.
Like most other portable gadgets, this tablet is fitted with Bluetooth (version 4.2). And of course, it allows you to browse the internet thanks to fast Wi-Fi connectivity.
In the end, the Amazon Fire 10 is a good tablet with a unique operating system that is perfectly suitable for family entertainment. It has a big screen with a decent resolution and a capacious battery, so you will be able to binge-watch and enjoy your favorite films and TV shows for hours.

Capacious Battery
If the first thing you pay attention to when choosing a new tablet is battery life, we suggest checking out the VANKYO MatrixPad S30 Tablet. This device will become your trusted companion on many trips.
First and foremost, this model comes with a capacious 6000 mAh battery that is enough to provide 15 hours of browsing, playing games, and listening to music after one full charge. The Type-C charging and connection cable comes included in the set. The model also has a very energy-efficient Unisoc processor that prolongs the autonomous work even more. And speaking of which, this octa-core processor has a decent frequency of up to 1.6 GHz, giving you plenty of power for stable work without freezing or lagging. The tablet allows you to enjoy all the advantages of Android 9.0 Pie.
Moving on to the screen specs, this gadget boasts a 10.1” Full HD screen with a 1920 x 1200 resolution. The screen is bright and vivid, and, combined with the pair of high-quality dual speakers, it can make watching your favorite movies a more enjoyable experience.

Stable Wi-Fi Connectivity
The VANKYO tablet offers up to 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage space for pictures, films, books, and other media files. Plus, thanks to the built-in slot for a micro SD-card you can expand the memory to up to 128 GB.

The other cool thing about this model is the price. Despite all its perks, it won’t cost you a fortune, which makes it an even better choice if you seek a device to entertain you only during the trips.
However, we are not a fan of the design of this model. The tablet features a rather big frame around the screen and adds a bit to its weight, so this unit is slightly bulkier than its counterparts. It also makes the gadget seem a little out of fashion. But if the design is not a major concern, we hope you will be able to skip this minor con.
Other than that, we have no problem with this device. If you seek a functional gadget with long autonomous work, a powerful processor, and a reasonable price, we suggest going with the VANKYO MatrixPad S30 Tablet.

Decent Viewing Angle

Yet, it still has a large viewing angle of 178 degrees, so you can share the tablet with your relatives while watching a film, and still clearly see the picture without any color distortion.

What Is an Android Tablet?
An Android tablet is a combination of a smartphone and a personal computer that runs on an Android operating system. Since this OS was designed by Google, all these gadgets feature cloud storage that gives you easy access to all your data from different devices, linked to your account. However, even though all of the appliances work on and share the same system, different companies are responsible for the hardware. Thereby, the general features may be the same, but you might notice slight differences in design and functionality. They are also pretty customizable, which allows you to adjust your device to your own taste.
Like all the Android smartphones, tablets are fitted with a touchscreen that gives you a comfortable and convenient way to control your gadget. These devices are great for use on the go since they are very portable and easy to carry around. Besides, the tablets are able to work completely autonomously. Equipped with power batteries, they can run for a few hours without a recharge, depending on the battery capacity. Plus, these tools feature a built-in WiF transmitter that provides you with an Internet connection. Some models even feature a SIM card slot that gives you access to 3g or 4g internet, same as your smartphone.
What Features to Compare
Display Parameters
When deciding on an Android tablet, the tablet case type and display parameters are the factors we recommend to consider first. Generally speaking, there are types of tablets on the market regarding their case design: standard monoblock models and those with an attachable keyboard for a more comfortable text input (also called transformers) that have all the standard functionality. You need to determine the intended use of your Android tablet and choose either type depending on the use. Please keep in mind that the display is still the main organ of interaction with the tablet even for transformers, so you need to select display parameters carefully. The Android tablets available offer displays with diagonal sizes ranging from 7 to 14 inches. It is important to keep in mind that tablet displays also have different maximum resolutions and use different panel technologies. With that, it is recommended to choose an optimal resolution for a specific display size. For example, for a 10-inch or so display the optimal resolution lies within the range between 1280x800 and 2048x1536 pixels. In this case, the icons and text are neither too small to read nor too big to look awkward and the grain effect is not very evident.
Performance, RAM, and Storage Capacity
Continuing with the consideration of important aspects of our Android tablet we come to its performance, RAM, and storage capacity. These parameters make difference first of all for those users who plan to use their tablets not only for Internet surfing but want to run modern games and applications. Android tablet PCs, just like desktop PCs and laptops, are equipped with CPUs (the CPUs are integrated into so-called SoCs together with GPUs in most Android tablets) and RAM. Thus, the more powerful CPU or SoC your tablet has under the hood the better the tablet runs different applications and the better is a user experience with the most recent and CPU-hungry applications and games. The more RAM is installed on the tablet the better the system responds to user commands and actions, the more applications you can run simultaneously and smoother they run.
In addition to the RAM, Android tablets have an onboard storage, which serves for storing the system and user data, including applications, media files, etc. While some models offer 64 GB of storage space or more we recommend choosing tablets that support storage expansion via micro SD or SD cards to reserve a room for the future tablet use.
Interfaces
The availability of various wireless technologies and connections also influences the possible scenarios of the Android tablet use. With all the modern tablet PCs supporting the Wi-Fi connectivity it is advisable for the tablet to support a dual-band Wi-Fi connection, which, in particular, the most recent 802.11ac standard offers. If you plan to use your Android tablet outdoors frequently it is worth choosing a model with a mobile Internet connection (3G, 4G or LTE). The Bluetooth connectivity also plays an important role in the use of your tablet as it allows a close-range pairing of the tablet with other digital devices. Another way of integrating your Android tablet with a global network, for example, a global positioning one, is the use of a built-in GPS module that enables the determination of your current location via specialized navigation software. Other indispensable slots are a 3.5 headphone audio out and a micro USB slot, which often serves also for the device charging. In case you wish to be able to charge your tablet wirelessly you will need the NFC support. Thus, the more slots and connections your tablet has the more equipment you can pair it with and more convenient it is to work with.
Additional Features
Last but not least tablet PC parameter to consider is additional features, which include front and rear cameras’ specifications, tablet battery life, version of the installed Android OS and its upgradability, case material, tablet weight, etc. The quality of rear camera optics and its resolution determine the quality of photos you can take with your tablet, for example, to share with your friends, while a front camera enables you to make video calls. If the tablet has built-in speakers you can listen to music and watch videos without connecting headphones. The importance of a long battery life speaks for itself, especially when on a trip. It is also important to check whether the tablet has the latest Android version installed and if not whether you can upgrade the OS to the newest one to eliminate possible issues of compatibility with new applications and games. And don’t forget about the balance of a stylish look of the tablet, the durability of its case and its light weight.
Did you know?
That:
- More than a billion people in the world operate a tablet on a semi-daily basis and over 150 million own one of these devices.
- Android tablets have had a large spike in popularity over the last few years and were able to finally surpass Apple with a market share of 57 percent.
- Average tablet usage adds up to about 15 hours a week which is considerably more than that of a smartphone and a computer.
- Some may find this statistic surprising but the most popular tablet activity has nothing to do with work, any form of videos or internet in general. It is actually video games with movies and TV shows trailing behind them in popularity. About 84% of tablet users tend to spend at least a few hours a week playing video games on their favorite device.
- Although your average tablet boasts a convenient structure capable of providing a sufficient level of mobility, up to eighty-two percent of tablet owners use their device strictly at home, with 28% of them replacing their computer with a tablet altogether.
- Researchers found that people tend to spend more time with their tablets than they do with paper books. Although this statistic may be somewhat ambiguous since a lot of individuals tend to read books on their tablets.
Bit of History
Although the first touchscreen piece of equipment was introduced fairly recently, with the first ever model being produced in 1982 by George Samuel Hurst and released in 1993 by IBM (though the technology didn't really receive any kind of popularity or commercial success for another 10 or so years), it does seem like touchscreen devices have been around for ages, doesn't it?
Part of it certainly has something to do with the fact that while the device became popular in the last decade, the first attempts to produce a touchscreen technology date back to 1970s when a couple of engineers from CERN developed a transparent touchscreen based on their work at a television factory in the early 1960s. Another cause for it could very well be the fact that an idea of a touchscreen technology has been prominent in the science fiction genre being mentioned as early as 1951 in Isaac Asimov's series of science fiction books called The Foundation.
The last but not least possible reason for this kind of phenomenon could possibly be the fact that a touchscreen technology provides a tremendous amount of convenience and utility that simply isn't possible to achieve using a regular device paired with an orthodox screen.
Speaking of convenience and utility, did you know that you could use your tablet as a powerful TV remote? With the right model in your hands, you will be capable of entirely replacing your remote with a tablet. Some of these devices are specifically designed with this kind of application in mind. The popular Samsung Galaxy Tab line, for instance, boasts a built-in IR transmitter that can be used as a universal TV remote. Although just like with the good old-fashioned remote, you will have to aim directly at your television set in order for it to work.
But that isn't even the remotely the most peculiar possible application for your tablet. The honor and privilege of bestowing that title would have to go to those bright folks that figured out that you can use your touchscreen device to tune your guitar. Professional and aspiring musicians usually tend to carry electric guitar tuners with them. But if you're an intermediate player that just wants to quickly tune his favorite musical instrument, or you would like to have a backup guitar in case your band is on tour, all you have to do is download Guitar Tuna, a free Android and iOS app that will do that job for you.
