*Review of the best according to the editors of expertology.ru. About the selection criteria. This material is subjective in nature, does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before purchasing, consultation with a specialist is required.

Just a few years ago, tablet computers were quite popular. Models with a relatively small screen were in greatest demand back then. Consumers liked such devices due to the fact that they could easily be taken with them, thrown into a backpack or the pocket of a winter jacket. And the weight of such a tablet was quite acceptable for reading books and watching videos for a long time. However, now such tablets are less interesting; they have been almost completely replaced by smartphones with a 6-inch display. That is why if a consumer is looking towards a tablet computer, then he expects to get a device with at least a 10-inch screen on the front panel. In short, we decided to tell you about the best “tablets” equipped with a large screen. In this case, we will talk about a variety of gadgets - not only about models running Android.

• Operating system: Android 8.1
• Battery life: 5-6 hours
• Weight: 840 g
• Other Features: Keyboard support

Price: from 12,100 rub.

This solution from China is far from top-end in terms of parameters, but if you need a large and cheap tablet with Android, then it is ideal. The model received an old ten-core chipset, but even today it is quite possible to run games on it at medium settings. The memory depends on the configuration chosen by the user - a maximum of 4/128 GB is offered, there is a slot for microSD, but in this case you will have to give up the second SIM.

Internet access is possible via Wi-Fi; 2.4 and 5 GHz networks are supported, as well as via LTE. There is also a GPS module, Bluetooth 4.1 and stereo speakers. The latter will make watching movies comfortable. The 8000 mAh battery is designed for 6 hours of active work. Wired interfaces are represented by a charging connector, Type-C and 3.5. Cameras – 13 and 5 megapixels. A keyboard with a touchpad and a stand is not included in the starter kit; it is connected using a magnetic mount.

Advantages:

• Affordable price.
• Stereo sound.
• You can expand the memory or use two SIM cards.
• Performance is good for its price tag.

Flaws:

• Battery holding is weak.
• Processor 2021.
• The old version of the operating system is Android 8.1.

Digma CITI 3000 4G

• Screen: 13.3 inches, 1920x1080
• SIM cards: supported, LTE
• RAM/RAM: 3/64 GB
• Processor: MediaTek MT8735, 1.1 GHz, 4 cores
• Main/front camera: 5/2 MP
• Operating system: Android 8.1

Price: from 15,900 rubles.

For the most part, manufacturers create tablets with large screen sizes and Windows OS. In this case, the situation is different, the device has a 13.3-inch IPS matrix with FHD resolution and it runs Android. The device is designed for work - not the most productive chipset and 3 GB of RAM will provide the necessary performance for working with office applications and for surfing. Games are not the best idea for this device. The built-in storage has a capacity of 64 GB; if this seems not enough, there is support for microSD with the same capacity.

The device has a nice design - a plastic body with a metal edging. The top back panel is textured like leather, which makes it visually more interesting. The device has LTE support, which is definitely a plus. The tablet is equipped with two cameras – the main one is 5 MP, the front one is 2 MP. They are not the most powerful, but they are quite enough for communicating on Skype or photographing documents. The battery capacity is 10,000 mAh; according to reviews, it is enough for comfortable work throughout the working day. It is worth noting that at the moment the device has no direct competitors on the Russian market, but at the same time you can buy it not because of a lack of choice, but because of the excellent combination of price and filling.

Advantages:

• Nice appearance.
• Decent performance for work.
• LTE support.
• Sufficient autonomy to work throughout the day.

Flaws:

• Not the most user-friendly interface.
• There is no oleophobic coating on the display.
• No auto brightness adjustment.
• In the sun, the image is practically invisible - the display is not bright enough.

The largest tablet in the world: characteristics and photos

Large tablets with a screen diagonal of more than 12 inches are quite rare and unusual for this segment. Here we are used to seeing netbooks, ultrabooks and Chromebooks, that is, a full-fledged computer device with a keyboard and display.

As a rule, such gadgets are a double-edged sword. Yes, they have more effective visual output: watching movies, playing games and drawing on such devices is much more comfortable. But an increased diagonal also implies greater weight, as well as specific design features. Therefore, the ergonomic part of the device in this case is very lame.

Nevertheless, there is still a demand for large mobile gadgets, albeit small, and well-known manufacturers sometimes delight their fans with large tablets. No matter how much minimalists criticize such devices, they still find a buyer. We will try to illuminate this issue and consider the most notable models, most of which can be found on sale.

We present to your attention an overview of the largest tablets in the world. Photos of devices, main characteristics, as well as other features will be discussed in our article. We will list from largest to smallest. So let's get started.

Ardic Technology London Edition (screen diagonal 383”)

The world's largest tablet has a diagonal of 383 inches and is located in London. The model was specially made for the capital of Great Britain. A dozen workers installed the device almost all day, and the next day it was set up by specialists.

In addition to the massive display, the world's largest tablet is connected to an appropriately sized keyboard. Between the buttons you can see special paths for users, allowing them to relatively quickly get to the desired key.

Device Features

Despite the more than functional filling, the world's largest tablet is more of an art project, because the practicality of such a device is a big question. The device runs on the Windows Mobile platform.

As for technical characteristics, the gadget cannot boast of high performance. The world's largest tablet does an excellent job of playing videos and displaying photos, as well as ordinary OS applications. But, alas, it won’t be possible to launch anything serious on it.

Ardic Technology Mobile (65”)

Another brainchild of the same company, which can easily be called the largest tablet. The model is noticeably smaller than the device installed in London, and looks more like a large TV than a hand-held tablet. This device is also more of a demonstrative art device, because it lacks the practicality that you expect from a mobile gadget.

In addition, the large tablet (photo above) runs the Android operating system, not Windows Mobile. To smooth out the ergonomic corners, the developers made a smaller copy of the gadget with which you can control this device. But even without it, it has all the necessary qualities of a tablet.

The touch display allows you to control a large tablet in the same way as small gadgets. The model received a fairly impressive set of chipsets and a powerful enough battery to power it all. There are also a couple of cameras - front and rear, as well as USB, HDMI ports and Wi-Fi support.

The model is used, as a rule, for presentations, due to the lack of ergonomic qualities for the tablet format. Besides, you can’t take such a device on a trip.

Panasonic Toughpad 4K UT-MB5 (20”)

The third largest tablet can be called a model from the famous Panasonic brand – Toughpad 4K UT-MB5. This is one of the best large tablets of our time. The gadget received 256 GB of internal memory, 8 GB of RAM, and a powerful processor from Intel.

The model allows you to run even the most demanding gaming and graphics applications. The tablet runs on the Windows platform and supports all software specific to this model.

The device has all the necessary tools for communication: wireless Wi-Fi modules, Bluetooth, and also has a slot for a SIM card. In addition, there is support for USB 3.0. The designers did not forget about the cameras. The front device can shoot at a resolution of 1280 by 1024 pixels, and the rear one can shoot at 1920 by 1080.

Device Features

The tablet has a smart sensor that supports up to ten simultaneous touches. The model is positioned as a tool for designers, artists and layout designers, so the company prudently included an advanced stylus in the kit. The latter greatly facilitates the work of the above-mentioned specialists.

The model also pleased with the build quality and materials used. There are magnesium alloys, fiberglass, and other noble elements. In addition, the device has good protection and can easily survive a fall from a half-meter height onto a hard surface.

All components work great, but the tablet has the same weakness as other mobile gadgets of this kind - short battery life. If you load the device properly, then the maximum that can be squeezed out of it is a couple of hours of fruitful work. For other uses, such as music and web surfing, the battery lasts five to six hours.

Samsung Galaxy View (18.4”)

Another far from small tablet from. With its size, the model easily covers even some laptops. The brand rarely experiments with monstrous screens due to the specifics of this segment, but this gadget turned out to be very successful and in demand.

The screen dimensions could not but affect the weight of the device. 2650 grams feel on your knees not like a tablet, but like a serious laptop. But the manufacturer has foreseen this point and offers to use the model in a stationary mode using a special stand that comes with the device.

The technical part of the tablet is not so great, but it is enough for designers and layout designers. Gamers are not satisfied with the “filling”, because in serious gaming applications they have to reset the graphic settings to medium, or even minimum values.

Device Features

Performance is ensured by the brand's Exynos 7580 processor with eight cores, 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory. There are also cameras, but you won't be able to take great photos with them. The front peephole is only suitable for video messengers, while the rear one takes regular pictures, which can be assessed as quite good. But the manufacturer did not position its device as a photographer’s tool.

There are no questions about the build quality and materials. The case does not play, does not creak and behaves quite adequately. I was also pleased with the battery life. An impressive 5700 mAh battery allows you to work up to 4 hours at full load or up to 8 at moderate load.

Apple iPad Pro 2021 (12.9")

This balanced model is designed to solve almost any problem. Thanks to a powerful set of chipsets, the gadget is good for both work and entertainment. Not only designers and layout designers, but also pretentious gamers leave positive reviews about the model.

The 12.9-inch gadget has an excellent quality matrix with high resolution. The operating speed of the device is comparable to mid-price laptops, and in some cases (application layout) premium segment.

Several modifications of this series can be found on sale. They differ only in the volume of the internal storage – 64, 256 and 512 GB. The processor does not change, as well as the size of RAM – 4 GB.

Device Features

As a rule, when producing large gadgets, designers save on cameras, but not in the case of the iPad 2021. The tablet offers the user excellent shooting quality from the rear camera and good quality from the front camera. The optical stabilization system alone is worth it.

As for the build quality and the materials used, here we have a classic representative of Apple, without even a hint of design flaws: there are no backlashes, creaks or cracks in sight. Despite the decent dimensions, the ergonomic part suffered minimal damage. The tablet is easy to use and easy to hold in your hands.

I was also pleased with the battery capacity. Even if you properly load the gadget with everything you can, it will work quietly for up to 9 hours. In mixed mode it will last for a day. Well, for those who want to use the device as an e-reader or surf the Internet, you don’t have to worry about recharging for a couple of days.

Naturally, you will have to pay a lot of money for all these advantages, but judging by the reviews of popular reviewers, there is no overpayment for the brand. In addition, this model has been on the market for two years and its prices have dropped significantly.

Price: from 15,600 rubles

Another fairly inexpensive device from China with good capabilities. It has a metal body, one speaker, but with good sound, a tray for two SIM cards, one of which can be replaced with a memory card. According to customer reviews, SIM cards are used not only to access the Internet (LTE), but also allow you to make calls. There is also a Wi-Fi module with two bands and GPS for navigation. The device is equipped with a separate connector for charging, Type-C and microHDMI. The keyboard is sold separately and is connected via a magnetic mount. Cameras – 8 and 2 MP.

In terms of performance, the Teclast M16 demonstrates good results; the processor, although not new, was at one time MediaTek’s top solution. Today it is enough to run games at medium settings and multitasking everyday use.

Digma Plane9505

Digma Plane9505

This inexpensive 10-inch gadget is suitable for everyday use, work, watching movies in any resolution and not very “heavy” games.

All the “stuffing” with fairly good performance - a MediaTek MTK8321 processor with four cores and 1GB of RAM - will “pull” many serious 3D toys. The main thing here is not to overload the tablet, since under “overload” the battery will discharge very quickly. It will be enough for a day with a little surfing the Internet and infrequent viewing of video files.

By the way, watching the video will be a lot of fun. The point here is the Digma Plane9505 screen - even with its small expansion it is good, and the level of contrast and brightness is high.

The device's cameras will be suitable for video communications and instant messengers. It will not be possible to take high-quality artistic photographs with their help.

Advantages:

• Light weight;
• Low price with other high indicators;
• Excellent display;
• High performance;
• Great design.

Flaws:

• Weak battery;
• Applications are installed into the internal memory of the device.

The cost of a large tablet from the manufacturer Digma is 5,385 rubles.

Price: from 63,000 rubles

The new tablet from Samsung is a premium Android device with a 12.4-inch screen. The matrix has support for 120 Hz and HDR10+ technology, which makes the picture of very high quality. And together with the top processor of the year and a large supply of RAM, the device is ideal for mobile gaming, however, first of all, it is still focused on work.

As in previous models, there is a DeX mode, which adapts the interface to work with a keyboard and stylus. For the latter, there are also a lot of useful features here - from drawing applications to improved work with PDF files and note-taking programs.

The advantages of the Galaxy Tab S7+ do not end there. It offers excellent sound from four speakers with settings from AKG, battery life in mixed mode for up to three days, decent 13+5 MP rear and 8 MP front cameras, as well as modern Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.0 and 5G wireless interfaces.

Which tablet diagonal is better?

On store shelves you can find a huge selection of a wide variety of tablets on which you can work, play games, watch movies and much more. The main selection criterion is the screen diagonal size. It depends on it how and where you can use the device. Let's figure out what diagonals exist and for what purposes their choice would be more appropriate.

Popular screen diagonals

The most common screen sizes among users are 7, 7.9, 9.7 and 10.1 inch tablets. Although you can find devices with higher performance on sale, they are considered rather narrow-profile and are intended for specific purposes, for example, for presentations or conferences. One such device is a device from Samsung called Galaxy View. The tablet has a diagonal of as much as 18.4 inches, so talking about mobility and convenience for the average user makes no sense

7 inch tablets

Seven-inch tablets are the most compact gadgets in this class. They are ideal for those who travel frequently and have a mobile phone that doesn't meet their needs. It is convenient to play games on such devices, since your fingers can reach any corner of the screen without any extra effort. Also, 7-inch tablets are quite lightweight, which is important when packing for long trips.

Eight-inch screens

This category includes devices with a diagonal ranging from 7.9 to 8 inches. Such devices will be more appreciated by those who like to read books, since in a vertical orientation one line fits the same number of words as in a printed publication. It won’t completely replace a full-fledged e-reader, but if you need a device on which you can both read and play, then you should choose this size.

9.7 inch tablets

This is the diagonal that famous devices from Apple have. The 4:3 screen format and good resolution allow you to surf the Internet, read books, and edit office documents. This screen format is one of the most universal, but when watching movies in horizontal orientation, there will be black bars on the top and bottom edges.

Tablets with 10.1 inch screen

Such devices have the largest diagonal in the consumer segment. Ten-inch tablets, although they have an impressive screen, can no longer be called compact, plus they are heavy. Also, such devices are not entirely suitable for gaming, since your fingers, if held with both hands, will not easily reach each edge of the screen. But for watching movies, surfing, reading and editing office documents, ten-inch tablets will be just right.

Alldocube KNote X Pro

• Processor: Intel Celeron N4100

Lenovo Yoga Tab3 10 Plus

Lenovo Yoga Tab3 10 Plus

The most modern and “advanced” Yoga model, complete with a comfortable stand. The gadget is distinguished by a bright and clear display, a high and powerful acoustic path. And although from an ergonomic point of view this tablet with a large screen is not for everyone, its cylindrical body easily accommodates a powerful battery, built-in microphone and speakers. In total, the tablet has four built-in speakers. The operating time of such a device with average power consumption is 10 hours.

The Yoga Tab3's native operating system in software is not perfect. Lenovo's efforts in this direction are not even trying to somehow improve the situation. Therefore, this model can be recommended to those who are not afraid of possible “recovery” or “firmware”. Although many users do not notice these specific shortcomings.

Pros:

• High autonomy;
• Screen without air gap;
• Amazing sound;
• Multifunctional stand.

Minuses:

• The device will not be able to handle “heavy” toys;

The Chinese company Chuwi has long been known outside its native country. It produces practical devices with good quality and sells them for reasonable money. UBook X is a tablet that is perfect for work, as well as for designers and artists. Not only does it have a large, high-resolution screen, but it also has a larger aspect ratio that allows you to display more information.

Otherwise, the model is quite typical - a popular processor for such tablets, designed for basic multitasking, a lot of memory, a U-shaped stand with adjustable tilt angle. The device supports a proprietary stylus and many note that it is great for drawing. You can also connect a keyboard to it. The model has a metal case, but at the same time it is quite light, and the thickness is only 9 mm, which is also not much. Connectors include USB-A, Type-C, MicroHDMI, 3.5 and a slot for a memory card. The charging block plugs into its own connector, so USB-C can be used for peripherals. Cameras – 5 and 2 MP. Wi-Fi operates in two bands.

Advantages:

• Light weight.
• Large screen with increased aspect ratio and high resolution.
• Convenient stylus.
• Good performance for basic tasks.

Flaws:

• I would like to see another USB-A.

Despite the fact that the Surface Pro 6 is a unique tablet, the manufacturer still pays great attention to the Surface Pro Type keyboard case, which is a worthy addition to the fashionable gadget. The Pro 6's surface, like the Surface Pro Type's, has been completely redesigned. Most of the improvements have been made to the design, and what we really liked is the short distance between the keys, which makes the keyboard more pleasant and suitable for larger hands. The completely redesigned Surface Pro 6 will look like a laptop—but only when you need it.

In addition to its convenient case, the tablet is a powerful device that can be taken anywhere. But that's not all. Surface Pro 6 is thin and light, yet durable thanks to its durable metal chassis and the right materials. The device is ideal for travel, so you can take it anywhere and use it as a tablet or a full-fledged laptop. The choice is yours.

This tablet is very thin and weighs less than 2 kg, and Microsoft used the latest hardware to create it. And this had almost no effect on the overall design. The tablet allows you to perform even the most complex tasks, and, at the same time, get only the best results. Microsoft Surface Pro 6 is powered by the latest 8th Gen Intel Core i5 processor, along with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage.

Advantages:

• The best universal tablet.
