The season of holidays and warm sunny weather is inexorably coming to its logical conclusion, and it's time to see which tablet model is currently the most popular. What is the best tablet right now? This question is certainly of interest to those who plan to acquire this mega-popular gadget in the near future. So, meet the top three.
Apple iPad 4 with Retina display
This model took third place in our impromptu ranking. Many believe that the fourth Ipad is the best tablet not only of the summer, but of the entire current year, and it is rather difficult to object to this. The parameters of this device are as follows:
- screen diagonal - 9, 7″;
- display type - Retina IPS with a resolution of 2048x1536;
- operating system type – iOS;
- video camera - 1.2 megapixels;
- camera - 5 megapixels;
- battery capacity – 42.5 Wh.
The price of this miracleSo far, computer thought is “biting”, but let's not forget that today there is a clear upward trend in sales of devices running the Android system - this means that the competition between manufacturers will become tougher. And this is to our advantage, since prices will definitely decrease in the future. Wait.
Nexus 7 3G
Google engineers have their own vision of what should be the best tablet of the year. 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 operating system has decided not to be inferior in design and functionality to its competitors and every time it releases better and better 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 most popular search engine in the world. Google's specialists this time focused on compactness, convenience, performance and style. However, the price compared to analogues looks pretty decent. Of the shortcomings, only the lack of a microSD slot can be noted, which does not allow increasing internal memory. However, this minus is compensated by constant fresh updates and a lot of free programs from Google Play. These advantages simply could not go unnoticed, and therefore some users believe that the Nexus 7 is the best tablet of this year.
Sony Xperia Tablet Z
The leader of our review was an excellent waterproof "tablet", shown by Sony at an exhibition in Barcelona at the end of February this year. Excellent design (case thickness <=7 mm) and high-quality assembly, complemented by a rich set of programs and excellent technical elements, allow us to unequivocally state that this gadget is the best tablet of 2013. And for those who still doubt this, 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 for which are commensurate with the cost of powerful laptops) pay for themselves by the fact that they serve for a very long time, constantly delighting their owner with the comfort of use.
