Xiaomi MiPad 4 64Gb LTE

Rating: 4.9

You need to start with Xiaomi products. The Chinese company now produces a variety of electronic devices. The tablet computer market did not escape her attention either. However, this manufacturer did not try to sell a top model equipped with the best specifications. Instead, the focus is mainly on mid-budget devices. For example, for Xiaomi MiPad 4 they ask for about 19 thousand rubles, and sometimes a smaller amount.

Most often, the display of an inexpensive tablet has a fairly wide frame. However, the Xiaomi device is an exception to the rule. Here, only the areas above and below the screen are any wide. The side frames turned out to be very narrow, thanks to which the eye is literally drawn to this model while it is on the store counter. The screen, by the way, was created using IPS technology. The resolution of the 8-inch LCD panel is 1920×1200. There is no doubt that you will regularly use this tablet to watch movies - you will enjoy both high detail and maximum viewing angles.

This device runs Android 8.1. Communication with the Internet is carried out either via Wi-Fi (802.11ac standard is supported) or via LTE networks. You will definitely post photos taken using this tablet on social networks. The fact is that there is a 13-megapixel camera on its back panel. This is extremely atypical for “pills”! But this gadget is not capable of taking a good selfie; the front camera here is intended only to provide video communication.

The tablet computer is powered by an eight-core Snapdragon 660 processor, 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of permanent memory. Not a bad set, serious slowdowns are practically excluded with it. I'm glad that there was room on the device's body for a 3.5 mm jack. Sound can also be output to a wireless speaker using Bluetooth 5.0. Well, a USB Type-C port is used to synchronize with a PC and connect a charger. The battery, by the way, is capable of providing a couple of days of battery life, depending on the intensity of use.

Advantages

  • Built-in battery with a capacity of 6000 mAh;
  • Cute design;
  • There are 3.5 mm and USB Type-C connectors;
  • A large number of sensors;
  • Implemented support for LTE and Wi-Fi 802.11ac;
  • Excellent rear camera;
  • There is a Bluetooth 5.0 module;
  • Large memory capacity;
  • Very powerful processor;
  • Latest software version;
  • High resolution display.

Flaws

  • The weight cannot be called minimal;
  • To some, such a screen will seem small;
  • The cost is far from the lowest.

Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite 8 32Gb LTE

Rating: 4.8

Mid-budget tablets are also available from the Chinese company Huawei. Now she is under pressure from the American government. However, sanctions do not prevent the sale of old devices. For example, you can easily find the MediaPad M5 Lite 8 on store shelves. And don’t be alarmed by the fact that the device was announced at the beginning of 2021! There is no doubt that this device will not become obsolete even after several years.

Android 9.0 is installed as the operating system. This OS is powered by an eight-core processor with a clock speed of up to 2.2 GHz. Also hidden under the body of the tablet computer are 32 GB of permanent memory and 3 GB of RAM. The volume is normal, many buyers will not even install a microSD card, although the slot for it is not forgotten here.

On the front panel of this “tablet” there is an 8-inch screen. The side frames around it turned out to be very narrow, which is good news. The display is created using IPS technology, which means maximum viewing angles. There is also no fault with the resolution; it is 1920×1200 pixels. In short, you will definitely enjoy watching video content.

Interaction with the global web is carried out here via Wi-Fi 802.11ac and LTE networks. The device also includes a Bluetooth 4.2 module. Many people will not really use it, because it has the ability to connect a regular wired headset. There is also a micro-USB connector on the metal case. Perhaps this is the only serious drawback of the device. Competitors are trying to provide their tablets with a more convenient socket, the plug into which is inserted only the first time.

Otherwise, the Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite 8 is hardly capable of surprising anything. The battery of this device has a capacity of 5100 mAh, which cannot be called an outrageous parameter. But with it, the device turned out to be very light - the scales under it show only 310 g. Therefore, this is a good choice for those who plan to regularly use a tablet computer in the subway or other types of public transport.

Advantages

  • Built-in powerful processor;
  • The latest version of the operating system has been installed;
  • High screen resolution;
  • Implemented support for Wi-Fi 802.11ac and LTE;
  • Excellent 13 megapixel camera;
  • The 3.5 mm audio jack has not been forgotten;
  • Not very heavy.

Flaws

  • The display diagonal may seem insufficient to some;
  • Built-in micro-USB connector;
  • Fast charging is not supported.

Lenovo Tab 4 Plus TB-X704F 32Gb

Rating: 4.7

This tablet may seem significantly less advanced. This is hinted at by the wide frames around the display. But this screen is quite large. Need I say that watching movies on a 10-inch screen is much more comfortable than on a smaller one? Especially at a resolution of 1920x1200 pixels. It should also be noted that the display is made using IPS technology. This means that it has maximum viewing angles. However, it would be strange to see a TFT panel in a tablet for 15,000 rubles.

This device has been in stores for several years. In this regard, it should not be surprising that the device runs Android 7.0. However, for most buyers, the capabilities that this OS offers are quite enough. It is powered by an eight-core Snapdragon 625 processor, the clock speed of which reaches an acceptable 2000 MHz. The product also received 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of permanent memory. Well, in games the Adreno 506 graphics accelerator is activated.

Unlike the models discussed above, Lenovo Tab 4 Plus does not have a SIM card slot. The list of wireless modules present here is limited only to Bluetooth 4.2 and Wi-Fi 802.11ac. For many people this will, of course, be enough. Rarely will a person want to carry such a large tablet anywhere with them.

The product received 3.5 mm connectors and USB Type-C. The first is needed to connect headphones, while the second is most often used to connect the network adapter. The sound here can also be output to the built-in speakers. There are two of them, and this is where the tablet differs most from much cheaper models. As for the charger, its connection may be necessary once every two days, not more often. We have a 7,000 mAh battery to thank for this.

Some modern tablets are capable of creating high-quality photographs. But Lenovo Tab 4 Plus is not one of them. On the back panel of this device there is an 8-megapixel camera, which is seriously inferior to its sisters from many smartphones. Well, the front camera only has a 5-megapixel resolution. However, some competitors, as you will soon see, cannot boast of this either.

This “tablet” differs from its analogues by the presence of a “Home” button located under the display. What is important is that it includes a fingerprint scanner. It remains to be seen whether the device, which is unlikely to be taken outside the house often, needs it.

Advantages

  • There is FM radio;
  • There is a fingerprint sensor;
  • Decent battery life;
  • Built-in USB Type-C and 3.5 mm connectors;
  • Good stereo sound;
  • There is support for the Wi-Fi 802.11ac standard;
  • High resolution display;
  • A very powerful processor.

Flaws

  • Heavy weight;
  • No LTE module;
  • Not the latest version of Android;
  • Quite difficult to find at the right price.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 SM-T515 32Gb

Rating: 4.6

Another tablet with a display on the front panel, the diagonal of which reaches 10.1 inches. The product differs from analogues in its greater prevalence. It must be admitted that now this is one of the most popular tablet computers. The South Koreans even released three color options. This is also one of the latest devices; it managed to receive the Android 9.0 operating system. Therefore, you definitely won’t suffer from insufficient functionality.

The screen located here has a resolution of 1920×1200 pixels. This allows you to watch movies comfortably, and the gameplay should provide increased pleasure. By the way, there is a Mali-T830 graphics accelerator, so the picture in games will be very detailed. As for the processor, it is Samsung’s own creation, consisting of eight cores. Rest assured, slowdowns are very rare here. However, the device still has some problems in this regard. The fact is that the product received only 2 GB of RAM. Because of this, some applications will close too early, and you will have to forget about normal multitasking.

There are 32 GB of permanent memory for storing media files. If this does not seem enough, you can use the microSD card slot. The buyer should also like the list of wireless modules. Bluetooth 5.0 is used for sound transmission. Internet access indoors is via Wi-Fi 802.11ac, a standard characterized by very high speed. Well, access to the global web on the street is provided by the LTE module; you just need to remember to insert a SIM card.

Otherwise, this is a typical 10-inch “tablet”, sold at a relatively low price. On the back of the device there is an 8-megapixel camera that can’t catch the stars from the sky. There is also a front camera, but its resolution is only 5 megapixels. As for the battery, its capacity is 6150 mAh. The weight of the tablet is 470 g. Not the best choice for using the gadget in the subway, holding it in one hand. But the device performs well at home. It can also be used to play music, because there are full-fledged stereo speakers on the side ends of the device.

Advantages

  • A special children's mode is preinstalled;
  • Very powerful processor;
  • Implemented support for LTE and Wi-Fi 802.11ac;
  • There is a Bluetooth 5.0 module;
  • High screen resolution;
  • The latest version of the OS has been installed;
  • Built-in USB Type-C connector;
  • Three body colors to choose from;
  • Good stereo sound.

Flaws

  • Very heavy weight;
  • Simple cameras;
  • Low RAM.

Huawei MediaPad T5 10 16Gb LTE

Rating: 4.5

Another tablet computer released by Huawei. Its cost usually does not exceed 13 thousand rubles. This indicates that the user is unlikely to expect luxurious characteristics. So, what did the Chinese save on?

First of all, when you get acquainted with the characteristics, the amount of RAM is striking. It is only 2 GB. This means that you will have to forget about good multitasking; the system will close particularly heavy applications too quickly. The volume of built-in storage also turned out to be small - 16 GB will make you think ten times before installing this or that application. And if you want to download movies to your tablet, you will have to get a memory card.

Otherwise, it seems that the “tablet” has quite good characteristics. Android 8.0 is used as the operating system; this version will not soon become obsolete. The HiSilicon Kirin 659 processor with its eight cores produces 2360 MHz. Well, the 10.1-inch display located here can boast not only a resolution of 1920×1200 pixels, but also maximum viewing angles.

Huawei is well known for its telecommunications equipment. Therefore, you should not be surprised that the MediaPad T5 10 received support not only for Wi-Fi 802.11ac, but also for LTE networks. There is also a built-in “blue tooth”, which is used to transmit sound to a wireless headset. However, you can listen to music using stereo speakers, because they sound surprisingly great. But nothing good can be said about the rear camera. It has only 5 megapixel resolution. Well, I don’t want to use the front-facing camera even for video calling.

At the ends of the tablet computer there are 3.5 mm and micro-USB sockets. The presence of the latter is somewhat sad; I would like to see a more modern port here. Well, under the metal body of the device there is a battery with a capacity of 5100 mAh. Alas, even with such a tiny battery by the standards of such tablets, the weight of the device reaches a significant 460 g.

Advantages

  • Good stereo sound;
  • The 3.5 mm jack is not forgotten;
  • LTE and Wi-Fi 802.11ac networks are supported;
  • High resolution display;
  • Built-in powerful processor;
  • The latest version of the OS is used;
  • Affordable price tag.

Flaws

  • The tablet turned out to be heavy;
  • Not very long battery life;
  • Uses micro-USB connector;
  • The simplest cameras;
  • Very little memory.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 SM-T295 32Gb

Rating: 4.4

Above we have already looked at a mid-budget tablet produced by Samsung. However, it was a model with a large screen, which made no sense to take with you on the subway. But the Galaxy Tab A 8.0 performs well on such trips. He has at his disposal a relatively small display, and therefore the weight of the device does not exceed 347 g. You can safely hold the “tablet” in one hand while reading a book or a fascinating article.

It should be noted that this is one of the cheapest tablets reviewed in this article. Its cost is often only 11 thousand rubles. It’s easy to guess that the manufacturer had to save on something. In this case, the South Koreans decided to lower the display resolution. The 1280×800 pixels parameter can be called satisfactory, but nothing more. An adult will want to see a clearer picture. But a child will definitely be happy with such a tablet, who will mainly use it to watch cartoons.

There are two color options for the device on sale. Whichever version you choose, you will find a tablet computer running Android 9.0. The problem is that the OS is powered by a quad-core processor. Its clock speed can reach 2000 MHz, but the lack of four more cores is still felt. The limitation is also noticeable in terms of multitasking, because only 2 GB of RAM are built in. Well, the amount of permanent memory is 32 GB. This is already quite a decent parameter, allowing you to install a fairly large number of applications. There is also a slot for a microSD card. However, all the devices discussed in this article have it.

This model is capable of operating in LTE networks. However, it seems to us that the owner of the device will use 802.11n Wi-Fi networks much more often. The tablet also received a GPS chip and a Bluetooth 4.2 module. If you don’t have wireless headphones, you can connect regular ones using a 3.5 mm jack. There is also a micro-USB socket on the metal body of the device.

Of course, we can't help but return to the shortcomings of the device. Alas, the tablet received a very modest battery. If you intend to use it quite intensively, then you will have to use the network adapter every evening. The viewing angles are also confusing - they are by no means maximum.

Advantages

  • Children's mode is preinstalled;
  • Good stereo sound;
  • Low cost;
  • There is a 3.5 mm audio jack;
  • Compact size and not very heavy;
  • There is LTE support;
  • The latest version of the OS has been installed.

Flaws

  • Not the best viewing angles;
  • Uses micro-USB connector;
  • Not very high display resolution;
  • Not the longest battery life;
  • Low RAM;
  • Built-in weak processor.

Lenovo Tab 4 TB-304L 32Gb

Rating: 4.3

This tablet has a 10.1-inch screen created using IPS technology. This means that the buyer can expect maximum viewing angles, and the size of the display will allow him to comfortably watch cartoons and other videos. Only the resolution is 1280×800 pixels. However, it will definitely be enough for the child. And an adult will not experience serious problems if the device is not used very regularly.

This tablet is built on the basis of a quad-core Snapdragon 425 processor. This is a good chipset, but you should not count on the “reactive” operation of the Android 7.0 operating system. 2 GB of RAM also introduces a certain limitation. But the manufacturer did not skimp on built-in storage, introducing 32 GB. If this still doesn’t seem enough, you can use a microSD card.

Lenovo Tab 4 TB-304L received a double tray. It is a haven not only for a removable storage device, but also for a SIM card. When installing the latter, you will have access to LTE networks. You can also access the Internet using Wi-Fi 802.11n. The list of wireless modules present here also includes Bluetooth 4.0. But much more often, many owners of this tablet use a traditional headphone connection. If you need to charge the “tablet”, then the micro-USB port comes to the rescue. You need to use the AC adapter once every one and a half to two days, since there is a 7000 mAh battery inside the device.

This model has received a number of other advantages, which also cannot be ignored. For example, the device produces stereo sound. This allows you to regularly use this gadget to listen to Internet radio. Or even a regular one, because there is an FM tuner!

Mid-budget tablets rarely have high-quality cameras. Here their resolution is 5 and 2 megapixels. It is unlikely that you will use them very often. Also somewhat puzzling is the case, which is made of plastic - it is not as pleasant to the touch as metal.

Advantages

  • Maximum viewing angles;
  • LTE support implemented;
  • Good stereo sound;
  • There is a 3.5 mm audio jack;
  • Good battery capacity.

Flaws

  • Weak processor;
  • Not the latest OS version;
  • Low RAM;
  • Not very high display resolution;
  • Disgusting cameras;
  • A micro-USB socket is used;
  • Large size and weight.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 SM-T385 16Gb

Rating: 4.2

Above we have already talked about one 8-inch tablet from Samsung. But perhaps you will be more satisfied with the model designated SM-T385? It comes in two color options. On its front panel there is a display whose resolution is 1280x800 pixels. For some reason, South Koreans do not like to use IPS panels in their devices. Here, too, the TFT screen is not the best, and therefore the buyer will have to put up with viewing angles that are by no means maximum.

Despite the low cost, this “pill” has a number of undeniable advantages. For example, the manufacturer did not skimp on the USB Type-C connector. Need I say that the plug is inserted into it only the first time? The product also boasts a slot for a SIM card. If you use it, you will have access to 4G networks, which allows you to access the Internet even outside the premises. It is also impossible not to note the 3.5 mm audio jack, which has recently disappeared not only from smartphones, but also from tablets. The undoubted advantage of the device is its 364 gram weight. Such a “tablet” can easily be held in one hand, which is often necessary to do in the subway and some other places.

But, of course, such a tablet cannot consist only of advantages. Someone will definitely not like the fact that the Android 7.1 operating system is installed here, when more recent versions exist. The built-in processor is even more disappointing. This is a quad-core Snapdragon 425, the clock speed of which does not exceed 1400 MHz. There is also 2 GB of RAM hidden under the body of the device. Built-in storage is also not much, only 16 GB. You can't do without a memory card. But problems may arise with it, because not all applications agree to be sent to an external drive.

Fortunately, this is where the list of the most significant shortcomings ends. The rest of the specifications can be called average. For example, the cameras built here have a resolution of 8 and 5 megapixels. In theory, sometimes you can shoot something worthwhile with them, but much more often the result turns out to be unimpressive. The wireless modules present here include Wi-Fi 802.11n and Bluetooth 4.2. Well, the battery used by the device is unlikely to provide very long battery life.

Advantages

  • Low cost;
  • There is support for LTE networks;
  • Not the worst cameras;
  • The 3.5 mm audio jack has not been forgotten;
  • Built-in USB Type-C port;
  • Compact size and light weight;
  • There is a children's mode.

Flaws

  • Display resolution is only 1280×800 pixels;
  • Viewing angles cannot be called maximum;
  • Weak processor;
  • Little RAM and permanent memory;
  • Not very long battery life;
  • The touch buttons are not backlit.

Digma EVE 1806

Rating: 4.1

Our rating ends with the creations of companies specializing in the production of exclusively budget tablets. Digma EVE 1806 is sold in most Russian stores for 11 thousand rubles. At the same time, the device can be supplemented with a QWERTY keyboard! Fabulous offer? Only if you are willing to accept certain shortcomings.

Let's start with the fact that this tablet runs Windows 10. And you yourself should understand how demanding this operating system is when it comes to hardware. The manufacturer of this device, no matter how hard he wanted, could not provide it with powerful components. In particular, it integrated 2 GB of RAM and a quad-core Intel Atom x5 Z8350 processor clocked at 1440 MHz. With such components, the Microsoft operating system will regularly slow down. However, you will not be able to install Adobe Photoshop and other applications here that are not available on Android. They simply do not have enough space, because most of the 32 GB storage is occupied by the operating system. And even if you try to install the program on a memory card, it will start with great difficulty, which should be blamed on the aforementioned processor and RAM.

The image here is displayed on a familiar 10.1-inch screen with a resolution of 1280×800 pixels. I'm glad that it was created using IPS technology, so you can enjoy maximum viewing angles. Internet access is provided via Wi-Fi 802.11n. There is no slot for a SIM card, so it is better not to take the device outside. Yes, you won’t do this, because the weight of this monster reaches 970 g. How could it be otherwise? Numerous connectors, a full-fledged processor from Intel and a QWERTY keyboard could not but affect the mass. Of course, if you detach the keyboard, the tablet will become noticeably lighter, but it will still remain heavier than any of the devices discussed above.

It’s better not to pay attention to the cameras here. They are here, but you are unlikely to achieve anything worthwhile from two-megapixel matrices. You shouldn’t seriously count on a battery with a capacity of 6000 mAh - we’ve all heard about how power-hungry Windows-based devices are. But there is nothing bad to say about the connectors. Unlike competitors, Digma EVE 1806 allows you to display an image on a monitor or TV using a micro-HDMI socket. To connect the charger, micro-USB is used, which is quite acceptable at such a cost. There is also a 3.5 mm audio jack.

Advantages

  • Comes with a QWERTY keyboard;
  • A large number of connectors;
  • Maximum viewing angles;
  • Supports 128 GB memory card.

Flaws

  • Very large size and weight;
  • Not very long battery life;
  • Terrible cameras;
  • I would like a higher resolution display;
  • Very little RAM and permanent memory;
  • Weak processor.

Haier HV103H

Rating: 4.0

Another tablet running Windows 10. Devices equipped with this operating system are usually used for typing and programming. Therefore, it is not surprising that this model also comes with a QWERTY keyboard, like the device discussed above. Together with it, the weight of the device reaches an impressive 990 g. To be fair, full-fledged laptops are usually even heavier. But they may have powerful components, but here you have to put up with the bare minimum.

First of all, any tablet buyer pays attention to the display. Here it is a 10.1-inch IPS panel with a resolution of 1280x800 pixels. Maximum viewing angles are great. As for the QWERTY keyboard, there are no complaints about it either. But the charging connector is disappointing - it is proprietary. This means that you can charge your tablet on the road, but not from every power bank.

If we're talking about sockets, we can't help but note the presence of micro-HDMI. It allows you to display an image on a TV or monitor. The QWERTY keyboard has a full-size USB port. You can use it to connect, for example, a printer or an external hard drive. The tablet also has a 3.5 mm audio jack to which a headset can be connected. If you have a wireless accessory, then Bluetooth 4.0 is used. Well, Wi-Fi 802.11n is used to access the Internet. Unfortunately, there is no SIM card slot here. Devices with Windows on board rarely boast of it.

Otherwise, the Haier HV103H has the usual characteristics. It has a 6000 mAh battery, which allows you to hope that the device will not turn off until evening. However, an intense load may force you to look for a network adapter after lunch, and there’s nothing you can do about it. Well, it’s better not to think about the cameras used here at all. One can only guess why they are built into such devices at all. Well, how can you make a modern buyer laugh with matrices whose resolution is 2 and 0.3 megapixels?

Advantages

  • Decent number of connectors;
  • Low cost;
  • Comes with a QWERTY keyboard;
  • Maximum viewing angles.

Flaws

  • Not very long battery life;
  • Proprietary charging connector;
  • Large size and weight;
  • The display resolution will not suit everyone;
  • Little RAM and permanent memory;
  • Weak processor;
  • Disgusting cameras.

By default, Android 9 is installed here, but you can easily upgrade to “ten” over the air.

No. 2 – Lenovo Tab 4 TB-X304L 16Gb

Price: 10,969 rubles

The Lenovo Tab 4 TB-X304L 16Gb tablet with a Snapdragon 425 processor and 2 GB of RAM is capable of showing decent performance not only when surfing the Internet and watching videos, but also in games such as Hearthstone. The device runs on Android 7.1.1 OS. The main feature of the firmware is the absence of unnecessary pre-installed applications that slow down the operation of the gadget.

The advantages include the speakers. They produce pleasant Dolby sound, and you can customize it using the built-in program. The 10.1-inch screen with a resolution of 1280 by 800 pixels has a good response and a detailed picture, but it is deprived of an oleophobic coating, so we recommend immediately sticking a film on it. The icing on the cake of the positive aspects of the model is its dimensions - 505 grams of weight will allow you to easily carry the tablet with you in a backpack or bag.

Price: 3,990 rubles

The budget Irbis TZ165 was released in 2021, but is still a good solution for people with limited funds. The gadget is powered by a Spreadtrum SC7731G processor and is complemented by a chipset of 1 GB of RAM. The combination is extremely modest, so you shouldn’t count on running demanding 3D games, but it’s quite enough for surfing the Internet and watching video files.

The image is displayed on a 10.1-inch screen with a resolution of 1024 by 600 pixels. It will not please you with rich colors and natural color rendition, but, again, this is not required in everyday processes. But, due to the weak hardware component, the 4000 mAh battery easily lasts the gadget for one and a half to two days of battery life. To be objective, this is an inexpensive but good tablet, the only thing that bothers us is the plastic body, so we advise you not to drop the device on the floor.
