Dimensional tablets with a screen diagonal of more than 12 inches are quite rare and unusual for this segment. Here we are used to seeing netbooks, ultrabooks and chromebooks, that is, a full-fledged computer device with a keyboard and display.
As a rule, such gadgets are a double-edged sword. Yes, they have more effective visual feedback: watching movies, playing games and drawing on such devices is much more comfortable. But the increased diagonal also implies a lot of weight, as well as specific design features. Therefore, the ergonomic part of the device in this case is very lame.
Nevertheless, the demand for large mobile gadgets, albeit small, is still there, and well-known manufacturers sometimes delight their admirers with large tablets. No matter how much minimalists hate such devices, they still find a buyer. We will try to highlight this issue and consider the most remarkable models, most of which can be found on sale.
We present to your attention an overview of the largest tablets in the world. Photos of devices, main characteristics, as well as other features will bediscussed in our article. We will list from largest to smallest. So let's get started.
Ardic Technology London Edition (screen diagonal 383”)
The world's largest tablet has a diagonal of 383 inches and is located in London. The model was specially made for the capital of Great Britain. The device was installed by a dozen workers almost all day, and the next day it was set up by specialists.
In addition to the massive display, the world's largest tablet is connected to a keyboard of the appropriate size. Between the buttons, you can see special tracks for users, allowing you to relatively quickly get to the desired key.
Device Features
Despite the more than workable stuffing, the world's largest tablet is more of an art project, because the practicality of such a device is a big question. The device works on the Windows Mobile platform.
As for the technical characteristics, the gadget can not boast of high performance. The world's largest tablet does a great job of playing videos and showing photos, as well as ordinary OS applications. But, alas, it will not work to launch something serious on it.
Ardic Technology Mobile (65”)
Another brainchild of the same company, which can be safely called the largest tablet. The model is noticeably smaller than the device installed in London, and more like a large TV than a handheld tablet. This device is also rather a demonstrative art device, becausehow devoid of the practicality that you expect from a mobile gadget.
In addition, the large tablet (pictured above) is running the Android operating system, not Windows Mobile. To smooth out ergonomic corners, the developers made a smaller copy of the gadget with which you can control this device. But even without it, it has all the necessary qualities of a tablet.
The touch display allows you to manage a large tablet in the same way as with small gadgets. The model received a rather impressive set of chipsets and a powerful enough battery to power it all. There are also a couple of cameras - front and rear, as well as USB, HDMI ports and Wi-Fi support.
The model is used, as a rule, for presentations, due to the lack of ergonomic qualities for the tablet format. In addition, you can’t take such a device on a trip.
Panasonic Toughpad 4K UT-MB5 (20”)
The third largest tablet can be called a model from the well-known Panasonic brand - Toughpad 4K UT-MB5. This is one of the best large tablets of our time. The gadget received 256 GB of internal memory, 8 GB of RAM, as well as a powerful processor from Intel.
The model allows you to run even the most demanding gaming and graphics applications. The tablet works under the control of the Windows platform and supports all software specific to this model.
The device has all the necessary tools for communication: wirelessmodules wi-fi, "Bluetooth", and also has a slot for a SIM card. In addition, there is support for USB 3.0. The designers did not forget about the cameras. The front device can shoot at a resolution of 1280x1024 pixels, and the rear one at 1920x1080.
Device Features
The tablet received an intelligent sensor that supports up to ten simultaneous touches. The model is positioned as a tool for designers, artists and typesetters, so the company prudently included an advanced stylus in the kit. The latter greatly facilitates the work of the above-mentioned specialists.
The model also pleased with the build quality and the materials used. There are also magnesium alloys, and fiberglass, and other noble elements. In addition, the device has good protection and calmly survives a fall from a height of half a meter onto a hard surface.
All components work great, but the tablet has the same weakness as other mobile gadgets of this kind - a short battery life. If you properly load the device, then the maximum that can be squeezed out of it is a couple of hours of fruitful work. In other occasions, such as music and web surfing, the battery lasts for five to six hours.
Samsung Galaxy View (18, 4”)
Another far from small tablet from Samsung. With its size, the model easily closes even some laptops. The brand rarely experiments with monstrous screens due to the specifics of this segment, but this gadget turned out to be very successful and in demand.
The size of the screen could not but affect the weight of the device. 2650 grams are felt on the knees not like a tablet, but like a serious laptop. But the manufacturer has foreseen this moment and suggests using the model in stationary mode using a special stand that comes with the device.
The technical part of the tablet is not so hot, but it is enough for designers and layout designers. Gamers, on the other hand, are not satisfied with the “stuffing”, because in serious gaming applications you have to reset the graphic settings to medium, or even minimum values.
Device Features
The brand's Exynos 7580 processor with eight cores, 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory is responsible for performance. Cameras are also available, but you won’t be able to take great photos with them. The front peephole is suitable only for video messengers, and the rear one takes ordinary pictures, which can be rated as good. But the manufacturer did not position its device as a photographer's tool.
There are no questions about the build quality and materials. The case does not play, does not creak and behaves quite adequately. Pleased with the battery life. An impressive 5700 mAh battery allows you to work up to 4 hours with a full load or up to 8 with a moderate one.
Apple iPad Pro 2017 (12, 9”)
This balanced model is designed to solve almost any problem. Thanks to a powerful set of chipsets, the gadget is good for both work and entertainment. Omodels leave positive reviews not only for designers and layout designers, but also for pretentious gamers.
12, 9-inch gadget received a matrix of excellent quality with high resolution. The speed of the device is comparable to mid-price laptops, and in some cases (application layout) premium segment.
On sale you can find several modifications of this series. They differ only in the amount of internal storage - 64, 256 and 512 GB. The processor does not change, as well as the size of the RAM - 4 GB.
Device Features
As a rule, in the production of large gadgets, designers save on cameras, but not in the case of the 2017 iPad. The tablet offers the user excellent shooting quality from the rear camera and good from the front. The optical stabilization system alone is worth something.
As for the build quality and the materials used, here we have a classic representative of Apple, without even a hint of design flaws: there are no backlashes, squeaks or cracks in sight. Despite decent dimensions, the ergonomic part suffered to a minimum. The tablet is comfortable to use and easy to hold.
Also pleased with the capacity of the battery. Even if you properly load the gadget with everything you can, it will work quietly for up to 9 hours. In mixed mode, it is completely enough for a day. Well, for those who want to use the device as an e-book or surfover the Internet, you can not worry about recharging for a couple of days.
Naturally, you will have to pay a lot of money for all these pluses, but judging by the reviews of popular reviewers, there is no overpayment for the brand here. In addition, this model has been on the market for two years and prices have dropped significantly.
