Best Samsung tablets of 2020

If you are looking to buy a tablet and you are only interested in the best manufacturers like Samsung, then the list of the best Samsung tablets of 2020 will be helpful. In addition to an overview of the main technical characteristics, advantages, disadvantages and prices for the best devices in 2020, you can find out how to choose the right tablet model for you, and where to buy it profitably.

How to choose a tablet?

If you have already solved the question of which company is better to take the device, you can move on to the next one - which model is better to buy.

Selection criteria may vary. For a child, a tablet with a powerful processor will be relevant, which will "pull" games, but at the same time adequate in cost, because not every parent is able to afford a tablet for 30 thousand for entertainment, which a child can quickly break or lose.

An adult may need a device with good technical characteristics for work, to use it instead of a computer or laptop, and for leisure - reading books or watching videos, a tablet with limited functionality is enough. A very simple version is enough for a pensioner to communicate with children on Skype so as not to pay for something that will not be used.

In short, before buying, you need to answer a few key questions:

• Who is the device for?
• What are the main functions it will perform?

Based on this, select a device with a specific processor, memory size, battery, screen settings.

Such a competent approach will not only allow you to get a device that is suitable in terms of parameters, but also save money, because the manufacturer increases the cost for each option included.

How much does a Samsung tablet cost?

At the price of the Samsung brand, there is a fairly wide range - from 7,000 to 65,000 rubles. The budget models will not differ much from their cheaper Chinese counterparts in terms of technical characteristics. At the same time, there will be an overpayment for the brand. If your budget is limited, it is worth looking at other brands, for example, BQwhere inexpensive tablets will have significantly more functionality.

The average price for a tablet is 15-20 thousand rubles. For this money, you can get a high-quality device that will definitely last more than three years, or even all 5. From this point of view, this is a profitable investment, since Chinese smartphones rarely work longer than the warranty period, or even break in the first days or even weeks of use. ...

As for tablet computers from the most expensive segment, they will be equipped with the latest technology and the most powerful components. However, even such devices depreciate quickly enough, and, a year after the announcement and the start of sales, they are already 30-40% cheaper than the base price. Therefore, it makes sense not to take them right away, but to wait a while to get the desired device at the best price.

Where is it profitable to buy a tablet?

There is no definite answer to this question. It can be beneficial both in online stores and in ordinary stores, for example, during the period of some promotions or special offers.

Before buying, you can contact the Yandex.Market service, which will collect all the most current prices and offers from various companies. It may turn out that ordering a device from another region, even taking into account delivery, will be more profitable than purchasing in your city.

It's worth noting that not all stores are created equal. There are those who have been on the market for several years and value their reputation highly. These sellers have a customer-oriented approach, and, in the event of a shortage in the product or a breakdown, the store provides an immediate refund, replacement of the device or sends the device for service.

One-day shops will not have such comfortable conditions, and the defective goods will have to be transported to a service on their own, where you will be offered to leave it for repair for a 40-day period or send it to another major city where repairs are carried out under warranty.

Therefore, you should not chase the lowest price, carefully choose a store with a good reputation and reviews.

Top quality Samsung tablets 2020

Let's consider the most popular models. Among them there are no recently released new items, only those models that have enough reviews on the Internet to make the expected forecast regarding their work and make a purchase decision. The popularity of the models listed in the rating is based on numerous reviews from users of Samsung tablet computers and statistics from the Yandex.Market service.

It is worth noting that the ideal tablet computer, in terms of having a lot of advantages and lack of disadvantages, will not be present in the rating. This is due to the fact that there are always users who were not satisfied with some feature of the device, as a rule, due to their past experience of using another model, or different views from the manufacturer on the style of the device or its technical characteristics. Therefore, when choosing this or that model, you should not be afraid of the shortcomings - in the given list they are insignificant, and, as the users themselves note, they are agreed on the principle "if you really find fault."

10. Galaxy Book 2

The model has a Super AMOLED display with a diagonal of 12 inches and a format of 1440p with an aspect ratio of 3: 2. The display looks great. A similar type of displays is used in the phones of this brand, and therefore most users already know how it looks.

The tablet comes with Windows 10 Home S. The first-generation devices operated on the 10 Pro S, because 10 Home was not in this mode at that time. Thus, the 10 Pro's functionality on ARM does not function like Hyper-V.

The manufacturer guarantees 20 hours of autonomy without additional charging. This is achieved through the power-saving chip and S mode. During the upgrade to the full system, the runtime is reduced by 15%.

The tablet weighs quite a lot - 430 grams, but the manufacturer has installed a full-fledged 6000 mAh battery in it. The device was announced and went on sale at the beginning of 2017, so the model is quite fresh, but there are enough user reviews for it. Available in black and silver.

8. Galaxy Tab E 9.6 SM-T561N

Despite the low cost in the segment, even the budget one when compared with most compact Samsung, the budget tablet PC with a 10-inch display has a decent format and even a SIM card slot. Due to this, the user gets access to 3G networks and Wi-Fi Direct, which makes the Galaxy a worthy contender for expensive models.

At the same time, it is miniature when compared with most similar tablets and has a lot of weight. Deprived of new functions and not always necessary "chips", a gadget with basic functions is very famous.

It is often acquired by children and people who are beginning to learn about electronic devices, because they are easy to use. It is not for nothing that in the comments, users distinguish from the advantages an instinctively intelligible shell, attractive ergonomics and comfortable work with office programs. One way or another, a tablet is only good as a basic inexpensive solution, since it will not be a good solution for heavy software and watching videos in high format.

The manufacturer left a port for a flash drive, a connector for audio and microUSB 2.0 OTG.

Hardware features (Snapdragon 410 1.3 GHz, 1.5 GB RAM, Mali-400 MP2) are enough to work with programs. With low requirements for the technological performance of the device, it will 100% cope with the tasks.

In 2020, 8 GB of ROM is not enough, and therefore the user will probably need to purchase a microSD flash drive (better than class 10).

This is the model that went into production in 2018. It has some of the best Samsung features. This is evidenced by a chip with 8 cores, which not all devices can boast of, but also 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of ROM.

The almost flawless durability of the device became a captivating find for users. The fact is that not every tablet can withstand about 15 hours of intensive work. The manufacturer should be commended for using a 7,300mAh battery here, while keeping the reasonable cost.

The device almost flies, but everything is fine with the functionality - Android 8.1 still made itself felt. However, even this advanced model has some minor flaws and, first of all, the 8-megapixel rear camera should be distinguished, despite the fact that the quality of the flash favorably affects the clarity of images.

RAM - 2 GB.

The display is of high quality: the diagonal is 10.1 inches, and the format is 1920x1200 px. Colors are vivid, sharpness is excellent. Qualified designers and photographers in the comments to the model write that the display is slightly "yellow", but the average user, most likely, will not notice this.

So, we reviewed the top-end tablet models from Samsung. All of them are united by a rather high price and not always ideal technical features and software that I would like to see for this money. Nevertheless, although there is an overpayment for the brand, these devices from Samsung are more interesting, more productive and of better quality than their Chinese counterparts. Therefore, if you have the financial opportunity to buy a device from Samsung from the middle price segment, it is better to take the chance.

By the way, if among the models given in our review you did not see the device of your dreams, you can consider other models of Samsung tablet computers, where, for sure, there will be a suitable option, because the brand's lineup is really impressive.
