The tablet is one of the most versatile devices. You can use it to watch movies, send emails, browse the web, or even work with documents. Of course, smartphones can do the same thing. However, the screen size of the largest mobile phone still falls short of the smallest tablet.

The stylish one-piece anodized aluminum device looks a lot more expensive than its price tag.

GPS instantly finds satellites and does not lose them in the process. All applications (except the most demanding ones) are fast.
Cons: although the speaker is loud, it has almost no low frequencies, applications can only be installed in the internal memory.

The set includes a protective film (already glued to the screen) and a cover and even a stylus.

The best tablet from the Chinese Huawei is equally good for work and play. It is equipped with a stylus that is sensitive to the tilt of the wrist and recognizes 4096 degrees of pressure, has a fingerprint scanner, and is equipped with the latest USB Type-C connector. The M5 Folio keyboard case can be purchased separately; this accessory connects to the tablet via a magnetic connector. The sound from the stereo speakers is beyond praise, and the screen with a resolution of 2560x1600 pixels has an anti-glare coating that allows you to read text even in bright sunlight.

A protective anti-glare film is already glued to the screen of the device, Wi-Fi works smartly, and audibility during calls is excellent. The display is bright enough and responsive to touch. Out of the box there is an application "Commonwealth", which includes road maps of Russia and neighboring CIS countries. What else do you need from an inexpensive tablet?

The new ProMotion screen offers impressive brightness levels, excellent color reproduction and 120 Hz refresh rates. At the same time, the frame of the new item is much larger than that of the iPad Pro 9.7. Another advantage of the device is an excellent rear camera, which 90% of tablets cannot boast of.

This is a worthy rival to the fourth number in our review. Even if the screen size is slightly smaller, the price is significantly lower, and the capabilities are not less than that of the iPad Pro 10.5. It has a USB-C port as well as four speakers, a fingerprint scanner and a mechanical home button. The screen has a resolution of 2048x1536 and supports high dynamic range (HDR).
With a fast quad-core processor, the Galaxy Tab S3 is capable of running heavy applications. It also offers the ability to work with the included S-Pen. The rear camera resolution allows you to take good quality photos and videos with your tablet.
Samsung's Adaptive Fast Charging delivers a full charge in just three hours, giving you 12 hours of intense tablet use.
Cons: The back glass cover makes the Tab S3 a "slippery type", so don't place it on an uneven surface - it will slip.

- front camera 0.3 Mpix

The best children's tablet, judging by the reviews on Yandex.Market. Packed in a bright rubberized case, imitating the coloring of a zebra or a leopard, respectively. A feature of the device is access to the corporate catalog, which contains over 50 educational and educational TURBO applications. The presence of a slot for a memory card allows you to download a variety of games and programs to the tablet, and parental control ensures that the child does not spend more time "sticking to the tablet" than necessary. We also note a screen that is comfortable in terms of brightness and contrast and a responsive touchscreen.
The downside is the weak rear camera. In addition, the device is quite heavy - 290 grams, and its battery is not very capacious (3000 mAh).

In the 2018 tablet ranking, this model is ahead of all competitors in terms of user reviews. This is one of the best Android tablets available today, and it can also work in mobile phone mode. So for a relatively low price, you actually get a mobile phone with a huge screen. Excellent build quality, a 7300 mAh battery (which means 2-3 days of battery life), the ability to work with memory cards up to 200 Gb, a bright and responsive display make this tablet the best of 10 inch.
And playing games on it is a pleasure, even the most modern ones go without slowdowns.
Cons: Not the cheapest tablet. Don't expect good quality when shooting videos and photos. If you want great photos, it's best to buy one of best camera phones of 2018.
