Best Android-Tablet 2011-2014

Best Android-Tablet 2011- 2014

Tablet market continues to grow, primarily through decisions on Android. Sales of "pill" increased by 36 percent in the last quarter compared to the same period last year. Increased satisfaction of the owners is directly related to the increase in application optimized for the big screen on Google Play. At the end of each year, to sum up, and we also decided not to stand aside. Today we present to you our top rating of the best plates of the outgoing 2013. For a more objective comparison we broke Android-tablet into two groups: large and small. 

We will start with small plates, ideal for people looking for a truly portable solution, especially as it is the 7- and 8-inch solutions were the most popular this year. 

Nexus 7 

Nexus 7 is a sample of 2012, issued in collaboration by Google and Asus, became a hit in its time. Most buyers and critics sincerely loved this tablet, epitomizes the best value for money. The successful experience of cooperation between the two companies decided to continue in 2013. And this summer we got another titled "masterpiece", but with several important enhancements regarding the screen, performance and design. 

The first thing that catches your eye when you pick up the new Nexus 7 is a stunning IPS-display with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels. Videos, photos and books look on it is just fantastic! Complete with integrated stereo speakers, Nexus 7 can rightly be called the perfect portable device for consumption of any content. Inside the tablet quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro 1.5 GHz and 2 GB of RAM. All this allows you to play the latest games and not pay attention to the applications running in the background. It should also be noted that the new Nexus quickly got its update to the KitKat 4.4, which brought a number of small improvements in performance and battery life. Despite the fact that Google had to raise it a little price to 229 dollars for a 16 GB version, Nexus 7, is still the best solution in this segment and price range on the market of small plates. 

LG G Pad 8.3 

The LG decided that 7-inches is not enough and so the best Android-plates are small, in their opinion, should be the G Pad, which has a 8.3-inch display with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels. The same resolution as the Nexus 7, but due to the increased density of the display pixels per inch was 273 PPI. Other specifications are also good: quad-core processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 with 1.7 GHz and Adreno 320 graphics accelerator, 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal memory with support for MicroSD cards. 

Disadvantages G Pad is its price tag of $ 350 and average battery life. If you can put up with the first, as the price, though higher than that of the Nexus 7, but still acceptable, with a battery of 4600 mAh will not get far. This tablet will have to recharge every night, because if you intend on it to watch movies or play, it "dies" quickly. But all in all a great device, and if you want a little more screen 7-inch, the LG G Pad 8.3 is a good option. 

Asus MemoPad 7 HD 

It is necessary to assume that the direct producer Nexus 7, the company Asus, knows a lot about "planshetostroenii" and you can be sure that MemoPad 7 HD for some paltry $ 150 is able to please its owner. For limited budgets MemoPad 7 HD is the best solution. Something he recalls the first generation of the Nexus 7: Quad Cortex A7 with 1.2 GHz and 1 GB of RAM. 7-inch screen with not a bad resolution (1,280 x 800 pixels) for the money. There is nothing supernatural in it you will not find, but the budget solves. Oh yeah, I forgot to say that he has one thing that is lacking in the Nexus 7 - Card slot MicroSD. 

Now to the best big Android-tablet. 

Nexus 10 

This device, released in 2012, is still the best 10-inch Android-tablet in 2013. Google and its partners from Samsung, presenting Nexus 10, did manage to hit all the huge 2560 X 1600 pixels on a 10-inch display. Google understands that people primarily want to have tablets for content consumption and, despite widespread struggle with costs, the screen did not save. Everyone expected the update Nexus 10 until the end of this year, but it looks like this will not happen until 2014. However, the tablet has already managed to get the update KitKat 4.4 and continues to carry out its functions perfectly, even with under the hood is not the most recent dual-core processor Exynos 5250 (Cortex-A15) with a clock speed of 1.7 GHz, the benefit of RAM 2 GB is sufficient for mnogozadochnosti . Lack of MicroSD card slot in Nexus 10, like his younger brother, has already become a "good" tradition of all Google-devices. At $ 399, this tablet is still an attractive proposition. 

Sony Xperia Tablet Z 

If not for the TFT-screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels and a density of 224 pixels per inch PPI, then this tablet could claim the top spot in the rankings. After all, with such powerful hardware component (quad-core 1.5 GHz Qualcomm, Adreno 320, 2 GB of RAM) can "turn up the hill." Although the display looks good and does not cost very much neglected technology Sony Bravia, but still to a level of 10 pictures from the Nexus, he obviously does not hold. In terms of build quality and appearance of the Xperia Tablet Z is the undisputed winner. He has incredible style and beautiful. It does not want to let go, wherever you are. However, with the tablet, you can not give up, even in the bathroom or shower because it is waterproof! The battery life is also excellent and even has a slot for MicroSD. Xperia Tablet Z boasts a decent user interface and the presence of its own distinct applications. Besides, thanks to built-in IR port, the tablet works as a universal remote control. 

Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014) 

It's a beast! Just look at these options: quad-core 1.9GHz Exynos 5420 with 3 GB of RAM, 16 GB or 32 GB of memory with a card slot MicroSD, a screen resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels and it works with the support of the enormous battery capacity 8220 mAh. 

Despite all this, the smooth operation of the tablet, however. Samsung is constantly criticized for overloading their devices numerous "questionable" functions. A ubiquitous TouchWiz has become a byword when it comes to performance and battery life of Korean devices on Android. But despite the visual interface freezes, Galaxy Note 10.1 was interesting tablet. Technology S Pen stylus and availability make it attractive for those engaged in the design, or just fancies himself an artist. But most ordinary users, overpayment for all these "artistic" supplement nothing but extra costs will bring. And so the Note 10.1 remains a niche device nedostigshim top lines in our ranking.

Sony Ericsson K750:

Nokia N95 :

In 2006, the question of choosing the manufacturer of smartphones hardly stood. Then the vast majority of consumers stayed at Nokia.

Nokia 6300:

today's leading designers manufacturers of smart phones is declining and every new device more and more repeats previous, then hear about the Nokia 6300 you already had. 

Employees of the Finnish company managed to create a phone refined design which like almost everything. Metal case and elegantly dissociated numeric keypad - the mention of some of the former owners probably be allowed a tear.
