When shopping for Android tablets, considering factors such as screen size, operating system, internal memory, connectivity, and battery life will help you choose a quality WiFi or 3G tablet. We look at these factors and the 3 best Android tablets.
screen size
7-inch and 10-inch whiteboards are the most common. Examples of 7-inch Android tablets include the Kindle Fire Color, Nook Tablet, and Kobo Vox. These devices are more like e-readers (with the advantage of color) and are therefore popular with children and bookworms because their smaller screen and light weight make them ideal for reading books.
10-inch tablets are ideal for watching movies, playing games, browsing the Internet, and reading large publications like newspapers and magazines.
Android Tablet PC vs. Apple
When buying Android tablets, you have the choice of Android or Apple tablets. If you intend to use download websites, the best slate PCs to buy are Android slate PCs. This is because they have download support while Apple tablets do not.
If you’re looking to buy a cheap desktop PC, Android tablets are a better option because you have a wide variety to choose from, both high-priced and budget-friendly. Apple tablets, on the other hand, are premium products and therefore expensive but quite reliable.
Internal memory
Most Android tablets come with 16 Gb internal memory as standard. Of the aforementioned internal memory, 12Gb is available for user content. If you want more memory than what comes on board the device. Make sure the WiFi or 3G tablet you buy supports microSD memory cards. A microSD memory card will allow you to increase the memory by 8 Gb, 16 Gb or 32 Gb.
Along with internal memory, purchasing a PC slate with a USB port will allow you to store your content externally on a USB flash drive.
connectivity
Whether you travel frequently or just want an always-present connection. A device with 4G or 3G mobile broadband is recommended. This is because it will save you the hassle of searching for an access point or swiping SIM cards on the go.
Android Wi-Fi tablets only require you to be near an access point to connect, but have the advantage of being cheaper than those with 4G or 3G mobile broadband.
Battery duration
A WiFi or 3G tablet capable of giving you a battery life of more than seven and a half hours is worth considering. Some of the best Android tablets, like the Asus Eee Pad Transformer and Samsung Galaxy Tab, give you more than nine and a half hours of battery life with normal use.
