People usually tend to keep their tablets longer than they keep their smartphones, so this is why you should think wisely before you buy one. One of the main things you should first consider is to see if the tablet comes with better features than your smartphone and if it is worth buying it.
Even if you have, for example, an Android smartphone, we suggest you to stick to an Android tablet instead of getting an iPad from Apple. At the same time, if you have an iPhone, you should stick to the iPads. The reason you want to do have the same operating system on both of the devices is because that will help you a lot in transferring files and settings from each other and if you buy an application you can share it with the other device, which is quite nice.
Here are some tips that will help you when purchasing a tablet
iPads
iPads were and still are some of the top tablets. If you already have an iPhone and you’re considering buying a tablet, then we suggest you to go for an iPad with your eyes closed. You will be able to start writing an email on your iPhone and finish it on the iPad or vice-versa. In addition, you will be able to make phone calls from your iPad if your iPhone is connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
However, there is a downside in this deal, as you will pay around 500 dollars for the latest iPad Air 2, while many other Androids tablets are way cheaper. For the 500 dollars, you will still get a quite skinny and light device which features fingerprint sensor, 8MP camera and many more.
If you don’t have too much money to waste on a tablet, we suggest you to get the iPad Mini 2 (which got released in 2013) for around 300 dollars, as this year’s iPad Mini 3 doesn’t come with many improvements. The only improvements that iPad Mini 3 came with are the fingerprint capability and ability to use Apple Pay.
Also, if you need more internal memory and if you can afford to spend extra 100 dollars, you can get the 64GB internal storage over the 16GB variant or if you can spend 200 more dollars, you can get the 128GB internal memory variant.
Android tablets
While the Android tablets and phones don’t let you switch between them when writing an email, they are worth buying if you have an Android device. This way, you can buy an application for your Android phone and still be able to use the same paid application your Android tablet, as you will login with the same account.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S is one of the best Android tablets out there. The big sized variant of Samsung Galaxy Tab S can be bought for 500 dollars and the smaller variant will cost you around 400 dollars.
If you aim to get a small and cheap tablet, you can go for Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 4, which is a 7inch tablet that costs around 180 dollars.
Another variant is the new Google’s Nexus 9, which comes with the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop and can be bought for around 400 dollars and it features the Google Wallet that allows you to use the in-store mobile payments.
Windows tablets
Most of the Windows tablets are just laptops with a detachable keyboard. One of the tablets you can purchase is the Surface Pro 3. You will be able to use the touch screen on it and for an additional 130 dollars you will be able to get a keyboard cover.
The Surface Pro price starts at 800 dollars, but if you pick up better configuration, you will pay up to 1950 dollars. What’s nice with the Windows tablets is that you can use Windows supported programs such as Photoshop, Office Word or Office Excel.
