Getting confused after seeing so many brands in tablets may confuse you. However, we have made a note of some important factors to keep in mind while buying the best tablets.
Important Features to consider before buying a tablet
The tablet performs many of the tasks that a laptop can perform. However, before purchasing a tablet, it is essential to know the essential features that you must look out for in the tablet.
Weight and size
Tablets have been designed to be portable. When buying a tablet take care of the size and weight. There are chances that you will be holding the tablet for a long time. Therefore, the device must not be bulky. The lighter the tablet is, the better it is for you. However one must compromise with the quality of the tablet. The tablet may fall from your hand accidentally. If it is not durable, you will have to incur huge repairing charges. The dimension of the tablet is also vital. If the tablet is wide, it will be difficult to hold it in the portrait mode.
Display
The display is the main interface of the tablet. Therefore, it plays an important role when purchasing a tablet. Some of the key factors to take into consideration are the resolution, size, brightness, coating, and viewing angle. The size helps to understand how big the product is. When you tie this aspect with the resolution, it helps to determine how difficult or easy you can read on the tablet. The resolution is important for those who want to watch full HD (1080p) shows or films on the tablet. A minimum of 720 p is required.
Viewing angles are important because there are times when the tablet will be viewed by more than one person. Then the viewing angles gain importance.
Brightness is to be considered by the user is you plan to use it outdoors often. The brighter the screen of the tablet, then you will easily be able to see the content when there is a lot of glare. Check for durable coatings which will prevent the product from scratches.
Software
Many operating systems, OS are found in the tablet market. Apart from Android and iOS, there is Windows and Amazon’s Fire OS. Each OS has its advantages and drawbacks. First, decide as to how you will use the tablet and then decide which OS will suit your needs the best. If you want to work on the tablet like a computer, then Windows is best. For watching, films, or shows or playing games, iOS is best but they are high priced. Android is the best choice if you are looking for budget-friendly OS with multitasking features. You should also consider the number of applications available on each platform.
Connectivity
Tablets are portable devices and they must be able to connect to the internet easily. There are two kinds of connectivity namely wireless and Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi needs access to local Wi-Fi networks. In this case, one will have to keep in mind the forms of Wi-Fi your tablet supports. The best option is those tablets that can support both 2.4 GHz and 5GHz radio bands.
For cellular networks, a customer will have to consider coverage, carriers, contract rates, and also whether they are compatible with 3G, 4G networks. Bluetooth can also be used for local connections between two tablets.
Battery Life
Battery life is an important thing to consider as you might carry the tablet throughout the day. One can judge the battery life by continuous browsing on the internet and also by watching videos on the tablet. Watching videos takes a lot of power. And if you are doing other jobs side by side, there will be huge drainage of power. A tablet must have a running time of eight hours including browsing the internet and watching videos.
Processors
Different tablets have different processors. Companies usually inform the buyers about the speed of the clock and the number of cores it has. As a buyer, you need to know a bit more. You should go through the Tablet Processor Guide which will throw light on the different aspects of the processor.
Storage Space
To save power, make the product durable, and small in size, many companies offer limited storage space on the tablet. However, since you are likely to be carrying it around with yourself, good storage is very important. Though you may not store much data as you would do in a laptop, ensure that it has enough space to store data while you are on the move.
Most of the tablets available in the market come with 8GB and 64 GB space. This is very low when compared to a standard laptop. If you are just browsing the internet or playing games or reading books or watching videos, this space is enough. However, if you are planning to keep HD movies or several games on the tablet, you will require more space in the tablet. Some tablets come with flash memory slots and you can expand the storage space easily. The tablet storage can easily be supplemented by cloud storage too. However, this is possible when the tablet is connected to the internet.
These are some specifications that you need to remember when you buy a tablet.
