What is an Android tablet?
Like any modern tablet, Android devices are small, flat, internet-enabled computers with a touchscreen and no permanently attached keyboard. They are the undisputed market leader in the tablet sector and a fully-fledged yet cheaper alternative to that Apple iPad. The biggest difference between them and Apple Tablet PCs is the user interface or operating system. Android tablets are based on the Android OS, an open-source operating system that is operated and further developed by many software manufacturers – including Google. For this reason, Android tablets are considered particularly diverse and innovative. Many brand manufacturers like Samsung, Huawei, Lenovo and Microsoft have become enthusiastic about the Android OS and have brought many of their own Android tablets onto the market. The selection is now huge – and we’ll show you how you can best find your way around it and why buying a tablet PC with Android is worth it.
Tablets with Android: These are the advantages over the iPad
The counterpart to the Android tablet is the iPad, which is equipped with the iPadOS operating system. In a direct comparison, Android has many positive aspects such as the greater variety of apps and the lower average price for these apps. The user interface can also be designed more individually by the user on the Android tablet. This means you can always find the design that suits you best and have the option to customize many other details such as font, font size and menu icons after purchase. Since the iPadOS is not open source based and Apple has a uniform design, the high degree of customization that can be implemented on Android tablets is not possible on Apple tablets.
If you attach great importance to Google services such as Gmail, Maps and Google Search, the Android tablet is also the better choice because these apps are much better integrated into the operating system and optimized for it. Perhaps the biggest advantage of Android tablets is that they are sometimes significantly cheaper. Entry-level tablets are available in Kenya for just over Kshs 15,000, while an Apple iPad costs more than Kshs 55,000 at the minimum.
Android tablets: This is what you should pay attention to when buying
Which is the best Android tablet and which one should I buy? Below we will introduce you to the features and features of tablets with Android in more detail and tell you which configurations you should choose depending on the intended use .
Display
The display is one of the most important criteria when choosing the best tablet. A variety of properties are important when it comes to the display. The most important criteria are the type, resolution and size of the screen. Are you looking for an Android tablet with a large display? Then choose a model with a screen diagonal of more than 10 inches. Do you want a compact tablet for work on the go? A display with a 7 to 9 inch diagonal is right for you.
A high screen resolution ensures clear, sharp and detailed images and videos. The larger the display of the Android tablet, the higher the resolution should be to avoid blurry images. The choices ranges from models with HD resolution to screens with crystal-clear QHD. Please note, however, that the higher the resolution, brightness and size of the display, the more battery power it usually uses.
The type of display is also important because, in addition to the resolution, it also determines the quality of the visualization. In the high-end range you can find tablets with OLED displays. This technology is particularly impressive with its high contrast values and color fastness. With this technology, the entire display is not backlit, but rather each pixel has its own light source. This can significantly minimize the load on the battery and increase the running time. IPS technology also offers very good color fastness and contrast with little compromise in image quality and higher battery consumption compared to OLED displays. It is used in mid-range Android tablets. Other display technologies such as TN or TFT are installed in tablets in the entry-level segment.
Battery life
If you travel often and for a long time, you should definitely pay attention to the battery life: it should be as long as possible. When comparing tablets, the indication mAh (milliampere hours) usually appears. The higher the specified value, the better the battery life is usually. Please note that stated battery life times are always based on average use. If your Android tablet is constantly running videos or demanding gaming apps, the battery won’t last as long as stated. A useful addition to this is a Power bank, which allows you to charge your device on the go.
Storage capacity
Our Android tablets have internal memory between 32 GB and 256 GB. The choice of storage size should depend on whether, how many and what type of files you want to store directly on the tablet. Videos use up significantly more of the available storage space than text files. However, the internal storage capacities are usually completely sufficient – if the storage space should still run out, the capacity of many tablets can be increased via Memory card expansion. Before buying a tablet, make sure it has a microSD slot for storage expansion.
Processor and memory
What tasks will your Android tablet have to handle on a daily basis? The choice of the right processor and the amount of RAM required depends on the answer to this question. Internet browsers and office programs do not require much processor power or RAM. A more powerful processor and more RAM should be installed for gaming and videos. CPUs with 8 cores and up to 8 GB of memory are also available in Android tablets and should be considered if you want to run demanding applications on your tablet smoothly and quickly.
SIM card slot
Some Android tablets have a SIM card slot installed. If you want to surf on the go, you can insert a SIM card into your device and use the Internet via the mobile data connection thanks to 4G LTE. If you only use your tablet at home or in places with WiFi coverage and don’t want to make phone calls, you can forego the more expensive versions with a SIM card slot and instead save money by buying a tablet with a built-in WiFi function as standard.
Operating system
The Android operating system regularly receives major updates that continually improve speed and usability as well as compatibility with other modern devices. Before you buy, find out about the latest Android version available and how long the manufacturer will provide the tablet you want with new updates for. Every Android tablet can be easily upgraded to a newer Android version after purchase.
Camera
Modern Android tablets usually have a high-resolution front and rear camera. However, since the area of application of tablets is usually productive work or graphics applications, the cameras are usually less powerful than smartphone cameras. Nevertheless, with resolutions of up to 13 MP, they offer the opportunity to take very good photos or videos or participate in high-quality video chats . However, the camera is usually less important when choosing the right tablet.
Extras
Before you buy, you should consider which ports your Android tablet should have. Do you use the tablet to listen to music? Then you should make sure that the tablet either has an audio connection via a jack (3.5mm) or supports audio output via USB-C. Do you want to connect the tablet to the TV or connect it to another monitor? Make sure the tablet either allows this via the available physical ports or offers a wireless solution, such as Wi-Fi. If you connect the tablet to your devices via cable, you will in most cases need an adapter. Useful additional functions such as Bluetooth, GPS or NFC are also built into many Android tablets.
How to save when buying an Android tablet
Variety is the biggest advantage of Android tablets. At printerpriceskenya.com, you will find everything from entry-level tablets to professional models: you can get entry-level devices for just over Kshs 15,000. These tablets are particularly suitable for occasional use or less demanding applications such as email programs or text editors. Consider forgoing expensive features such as particularly powerful processors, extremely high-resolution cameras, SIM card slots, OLED displays and large screen sizes if you don’t need one or more of these features – this will significantly reduce the price. You can also decide to purchase a used Android tablet if you need advanced features but cannot afford a new tablet
Android tablet accessories
Tablet pockets protect the housing and display from scratches and breaks: choose original accessories from the manufacturer or accessories from other manufacturers; the choice here is a question of your own taste. You should definitely choose a protective film based on the model of the tablet, otherwise the functionality of the front camera or sensors may be limited. An additional Memory card must not exceed the maximum expandability of your Android tablet: you can find out how high this is on the respective product page and of course also in the operating instructions.
Adapters & Cables – You can also find options for connecting to external media sources and other devices as well as charging your tablet in our range. To increase productivity, we recommend expanding with suitable Pens & keyboards.
