10 best tablets under 15,000 rubles
Let's talk about tablet computers in the category up to 15,000 rubles. This category contains gadgets for both work and play. To avoid excessive spread in characteristics, we also took models whose price is not lower than 8,000 rubles.
Comparing typical representatives of a given price range, one can immediately draw several conclusions about their main features:
- The predominant number of tablets falls on models with a screen diagonal of 10.1 inches
- The TFT IPS-matrix is one of the most popular and combines rich color reproduction thanks to 8 bits per channel, wide viewing angles of 178 degrees and near-perfect blacks. Its disadvantages are high cost, low response time and poor brightness and contrast.
- Resolution 1920 x 1080 or Full HD. An excellent indicator for watching movies.
Despite the rich variety, buyers are paying more and more attention to smartphones with screen sizes from 5.5 inches. Here everything depends on the buyer himself and everyone uses what is most convenient for him. We reviewed the top 10 best tablets under 15,000 rubles in order to make the right choice, based on specifications, price and customer reviews.
TOP 10 best tablets with a budget of up to 15,000 rubles
10 Lenovo Yoga Tablet 8 3 2Gb 16Gb 4G
An eight-inch Chinese Android 5.1 tablet with an unusual design. A comfortable aluminum stand with several positions is already built into the body. The device can be installed in two positions - vertical and semi-horizontal.
It is very convenient to hold the tablet in portrait orientation - the cylindrical bulge on the left works like a pen. An interesting solution - the tablet has only one camera, 8 megapixels. And it can work both as a frontal and as a main one thanks to the swivel mechanism.
The screen resolution is small, only 1280x780. The display does not fade even at maximum tilt. AnyPen technology is supported, so you can even use a toothpick or pencil instead of a stylus. The technical characteristics are weak - 2 GB of RAM and a processor with 4 cores and 1.3 GHz are enough only for undemanding applications. The built-in 16 GB storage is expandable by an additional 64 GB. The tablet lasts for 10-12 hours of active work. A 6200 mAh battery is responsible for this. The reviews say that the tablet slows down.
9 Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 SM-T385 16Gb
Samsung has pleased us with a decent budget tablet with an 8-inch screen and Android 7.1. There is a slot for a SIM card and all the features of a standard dialer. The screen has relatively wide viewing angles and a pleasant color gamut. The resolution is 1280x800. The maximum brightness is sufficient for outdoor use. Specifications are not the best - 2 GB of RAM and a 1.4 GHz quad-core processor. Samsung's proprietary software significantly expands the capabilities of the main camera by 8 megapixels. And a 5 megapixel front camera, which makes good selfies. In the reviews, users note the overall high quality of the tablet, but not everyone likes the lack of button illumination and the quality of the display.
High autonomy of the tablet is provided by a 5000 mAh battery and a proprietary power saving mode. The device will live up to two days with an average load and up to 12 hours with a high one. It's nice that a 256 GB expansion is supported with a 16 GB drive. This will allow you to store your favorite movies, music and books on your tablet.
8 ASUS ZenPad 10 Z301ML 16Gb
Full plastic device with a 10.1-inch display running Android 7.0. Supports SIM card installation. A good option on the road. The plastic case is securely assembled. And the back cover is covered with a rough texture, so the device does not slip in the fingers. The location of the speakers (on top of the screen) is also pleasing.
1280x800 resolution is not enough for such a diagonal, graininess is still noticeable. This spoils the impression of a display with vibrant colors and excellent viewing angles. The gadget has good characteristics.2GB RAM and 1.3GHz 4-core processor can handle browsers, YouTube and light games with ease. But heavy applications will slow down. Fairly high quality sound and high volume are suitable for watching movies and listening to music. The device's 4680 mAh battery lasts up to 9 hours under high load. Charges via USB Type-C connector.
An unpleasant nuance - you cannot transfer applications to a memory card (up to 32 GB). Therefore, many games and programs cannot be installed on the tablet - it has only 16 GB of memory, of which 7 are occupied by the system and basic applications.
7 Irbis TW118
This tablet is different from many others due to its excellent operating system. Windows 10 Home is installed here, which gives a particular model an advantage in the form of using computer software without cutting back on functionality. Additionally, there is a half-kilogram keyboard, which is why the TW118 can be turned into a netbook. The keys have a small stroke and it is a pleasure to work on it. Microsoft believes that these models are the future and that they will supplant both tablets and laptops.
It is made of plastic and weighs quite heavy, about 700 grams. The magnetic holder allows you to hold any angle, depending on the preference of the buyer. RAM 3 GB, 4000 mAh battery provides the device with a working capacity of up to 7 hours. Both cameras have a minimum resolution of 2 megapixels. Squeaks are observed during use and should be extremely careful during transportation. Also, buyers in the reviews note very quiet speakers.
6 Huawei MediaPad M2 8.0 LTE 16Gb
Full metal tablet with an 8-inch display running Android 5.1. The screen is covered with tempered glass and has an oleophobic coating, and the back cover is rough. The model will not slide in your fingers. There is a slot for a SIM card and dialer functions.
The display of the model has wide viewing angles, a resolution of 1920x1200 and a very high-quality image. No graininess, everything is very beautiful and bright. The performance of the device is also at a high level - 2 GB of RAM and a processor with 2 GHz and 8 cores will pull most games and applications. The storage is only 16 GB. However, it expands by another 128 GB. The battery is not bad - 4800 mAh can keep the device "afloat" for about 8 hours under active load - video, internet and so on. And games will kill the battery in 4 hours. The camera module leaves much to be desired - only 8 megapixels. The front camera has 2 megapixels and does not stand out in any way.
One of the best reviews - users praise the device's performance and cool design. 83% advise buying a model.
5 Digma CITI 3000 4G
The Digma CITI 3000 4G became a kind of "quiet" of our rating of the best tablets up to 15,000 rubles. Of course, its main feature lies in the name, namely support for 4G networks of the LTE format. At the same time, the manufacturer focused on autonomy, reducing the frequency of the 4-core processor to 1.1 GHz, but at the same time providing it with a huge 13.3-inch diagonal and an equally monstrous 10,000 mAh battery. Ideal for work, but not very good for games, since the processor simply cannot handle many games.
The lack of anti-fingerprint coating is also worthy of criticism, which makes it easy to smudge it even with clean hands. The build quality is not the best, as you can often hear the characteristic crunching sound. The tablet is extremely picky about memory cards, which many manage to insert with the available 64 GB of internal memory. Weak GPS and weak speakers stand out among the shortcomings.
4 LENOVO TAB 4 TB-X304L 32G
This model is made of plastic and has a 10.1-inch screen diagonal and pre-installed Android 7.0 operating system. The tablet is assembled with high quality and pleases with performance. The quad-core processor has a frequency of 1.4 GHz and is complemented by 2 GB of RAM. The model has a 32 GB drive, expandable by another 128 GB. The picture on the screen is juicy and detailed, despite the resolution of 1280x800.
Soft-touch coating prevents the tablet from slipping out of your fingers. Powerful speakers are on the top edge, so you can't block them with your hands.They are complemented by Dolby Atmos software. Cameras - 5-megapixel main and 2-megapixel front cameras, perfect for video communication. It's nice that the tablet has a SIM card slot. The 7000 mAh battery can work up to 12 hours at high load and up to two days at medium.
It is impossible to call from the tablet in the standard way. But this can be easily fixed by any program with the ability to make calls. The device honestly earned the People's Choice Award - 93% of users recommend buying it! In the reviews, there is a high-quality assembly and a gorgeous sound, like most Lenovo gadgets.
3 HUAWEI MediaPad M3 Lite 8.0 32Gb LTE
Our language does not dare to call this model revolutionary in terms of style or design, but immediately I would like to note the lowest weight of 310 grams and 8 Megapixel cameras on the back and front. Huawei in this regard deserves all the praise, since, unlike many competitors, they did not "infringe" on the front camera. In the package you can find a charging cable and, importantly, high-quality headphones.
The body, in spite of everything, is not plastic, but metal. In terms of filling, it is much more cheerful than its predecessor and many other models. Despite the 8-inch screen, a full-fledged eight-core processor with an average frequency of 1.4 GHz is installed here. The built-in memory is only 32 GB, and the operating memory is 3, which is not a record, but it is quite acceptable, taking into account modern tasks and applications. Thanks to the good autonomy due to the 4880 mAh battery, we can recommend the tablet for schoolchildren and busy people, when it is not possible to carry a laptop, but want to play a little or watch a movie.
2 Lenovo Tab M10 TB-X605L 16Gb LTE
The tablet is made in a standard form factor by modern standards and with large frames. Just 8.1mm thin is not a record, but the 480g weight makes it comfortable to wear and use. It's nice to hold it in your hands. The left side has buttons for adjusting the volume and power. Both of them can be reached without touching your hands. Great joy is the presence of USB Type-C and 3.5 mm headphone output. Somewhat confusing is the microphone, the niche of which is very similar to the tray for receiving memory cards. The operating system is represented by Android 8.1 with minimal interference with the base shell, which makes the tablet convenient to use, economical in terms of charge and a minimum of software junk.
There are video cameras. In the amount of two pieces. One 8 megapixels is the front camera and 5 megapixels is the front one. For Skype and chatting with friends on social networks - that's it. It is recommended to use the device in a horizontal orientation, as indicated by its top edge. The speakers are angled to create a surround sound effect. The 2GB of RAM works with a decent eight-core processor with a frequency of 1.8 GHz.
1 Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 32Gb
We consider the Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 32Gb to be the best tablet under 15,000 rubles. Unfortunately, its 64 GB version costs almost 3000 more, so it didn't make it to our top. But those who do not care about the amount of built-in memory will really like it. This is a truly gaming model with Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor with 8 cores and 2.2 GHz frequency. 14 nanometer technical process allowed to significantly reduce the heat package and improve the interaction between all the components of the "stone", making it more productive. In addition, the Adreno 512 video accelerator helps it to pull "Tanks" at maximum settings without lags and freezes, but after 20 minutes the heating begins to be felt and, as a result, the frequencies drop, so it's better to play in short sessions.
Compared to the Mi Max 2, the Mi Pad 4 bypasses it in all respects, perhaps only loses in terms of compactness. PUBG is doing great too, but poor game optimization still makes its own adjustments and the rendering suffers the most from this.
