Top tablet ranking by 7 inches

7 inches - the most optimal diagonal for the tablet, which is planned to constantly carry with them. Of course, such a screen will not fit as much information as a 10-inch (although most often it is not in physical dimensions, but in resolution), but portability in this case plays a crucial role.

We picked up 7 models of 7-inch tablets, which are definitely recommended for purchase.

How to choose a tablet for 7 inches: what to look for

1. Screen diagonal is an important, but not paramount parameter when choosing a tablet. The performance of these devices is largely determined by the characteristics of the hardware platform on which they are built. Therefore, the most important specifications when choosing are the following:

2. CPU. Despite common misconceptions, the number of cores and the clock frequency do not matter. The new quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800-series runs significantly faster than the “not very fresh” 10-core MediaTek Helio X20. Therefore, it is recommended to pay attention to the year of manufacture of the chip or the tablet itself. Well, it is worth remembering that Qualcomm Snapdragon is preferable to MediaTek, but Rockchip, Allwinner and Spreadtrum are better to ignore;

3. RAM. It depends on the speed of the tablet when performing multiple tasks simultaneously. Moreover, background processes (for example, Telegram and WhatsApp messengers, as well as clients of social networks like VKontakte) should also be taken into account. Considering that the latest versions of Google Services alone “eat off” 200-400 MB of RAM depending on the Android generation, it is not recommended to choose tablets with less than 2 GB of RAM;

4. Permanent memory It is here that the operating system, the applications installed by the user, their data, as well as other information - photos taken, downloaded music, offline maps for the navigator and much more are stored. Therefore, the more permanent memory - the better. It is desirable that it was at least 16 GB. And if you plan to use the tablet for watching movies, then you should pay attention to the model with a slot for a microSD memory card.

5. These parameters determine the performance of the tablet. Depending on the intended use, you should also pay attention to the support of the mobile Internet device, camera resolution, battery capacity, screen resolution and other parameters.

6. Regarding the operating system, there is no consensus. Android, iOS or Windows - it depends on personal preferences.

7. If we talk about manufacturers, then tablets from Samsung, Lenovo, Huawei and, of course, Apple are recommended for purchase.
