These days, most of our entertainment is at the palm of our hands. Televisions are becoming less relevant as more people turn to handheld smart devices for their streaming and gaming needs. With so much media consumption going on, a 6 inch screen may eventually become an eye-strain. This makes the larger screen on tablets more practical. Here are some recent offerings that make viewing content a pleasure.
Apple iPad Pro 11
One of the best tablets in the market today is the iPad Pro 11. It has a ridiculously powerful Apple M4 chip which is even better than a lot of laptops. While you can opt for the 13 inch screen, the 11 inch is actually more than enough.
The downside is the hefty price tag and the overkill in terms of processing power as you probably do not need as much if you’re solely using Netflix. Unfortunately the experience on the Pro series cannot be compared to the regular iPads as those only have a 60Hz refresh rate. Yes, this is a 2024 article.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S10
Samsung recently released the Tab S10 series without the inclusion of the smallest variant available on the Tab S9 series. This makes the series available in 14.6 or 12.4 display sizes.
Samsung also introduced reduced glare screens to the Tab S10 series, making it a more pleasant viewing experience with less reflections.
HONOR MagicPad2
A strong contender in the Android tablet arena is the Honor Magicpad 2 that was made available in the middle of 2024. It has an optimised refresh rate of 144Hz and what it calls the 3K OLED Honor eye comfort display which claims reduced flicker and blue light.
It also has what is called IMAX enhanced audio across its 8 speakers for a much better movie viewing experience. In terms of power, it houses the Snapdragon 8S Gen 3 which is a mid tier processor which may not be the best for gaming.
Xiaomi Pad 7
With half the brightness of the Honor MagicPad 2 at 800 nits max brightness, the Xiaomi Pad 7 is more affordable but surprisingly impressive. It has a refresh rate of 144Hz and a display that supports Dolby Vision for excellent viewing.
The basic Xiaomi Pad 7 uses the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 which is considered a mid-range processor, sufficient for video viewing.
realme Pad 2
The Realme Pad 2 is one of the more affordable devices on this list. Despite its price, it has a 2K display and Dolby Atmos Quad Speakers for a pleasant viewing experience.
In hand, it feels right with its 11.5 inch screen. It also possesses an 8360mAh battery for lasting viewing enjoyment.
OPPO Pad 3 Pro
Featuring a massive 12.1 inch 3K, the OPPO Pad 3 Pro is Dolby Vision enabled, has a 144Hz refresh rate and 900 nits peak brightness despite being an LCD screen. Powered 2024’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, it is highly capable and can run games without a hitch.
With a 9510mAh battery, and 67W charging speed, battery life is unlikely to be an issue with this device. Those looking for a premium Android tablet that is not Samsung, should consider this one.
