Cheapest tablets with 3G: review, description, features and reviews

Since the presentation by Steve Jobs of his brainchild Apple iPad and shouts from the audience: "This gadget is not necessary to anyone!" It's been six years. Today, looking at the computer market, no one doubts the success of the tablet direction, and those people who shouted from the hall, long lost in the crowd, and probably with a new gadget in your pocket.

On the Russian territory, there is not a noticeable preponderance of tablets over fixed PCs, but, judging by the data for the past year and the year before, gadget sales grew by more than 50%. Despite loud premieres and extensive advertising campaigns, apple tablets own only a third of the world market, and even the most representative brand, which specializes in Android devices, Samsung, and even less - 18%.

Gadget market

But looking at the big picture, one can not help noticing the Asian offensive of gadgets - cheap Chinese tablets with 3G occupied a niche with a sales share exceeding 35% of the total market. There is something to think about and draw appropriate conclusions.

All manufacturers are fighting hard for each customer and a percentage in a crowded market. The current situation puts the client in a very favorable position from the point of view of choice, and the technological race in this segment leads to the fact that even the cheapest 3G tablet exceeds all user expectations.

Tablet rating

Let's try to highlight the most noteworthy and current models in terms of value for money, focusing on the products of local Internet sites. The psychological limit of 10 thousand rubles is taken as the basis of the rating.

At once it is worth noting several common points that are inherent in all respondents in the top. The vast majority of modern devices are able to provide the user with comfortable work with social networks. All of them feel great during web surfing and watching videos in the standard 720p. Toys, maybe not all, but will go more or less smoothly. In the rest we get acquainted with the rating and select something for our requests.

Prestigio MultiPad PMP5870C

Gadget with an average price of four thousand rubles offers its user a completely acceptable and modern set of characteristics. The device is developed on the platform RockChip RK3066 with a dual-core processor, and in a nutshell it can be described as the cheapest tablet with 3G. The price does not affect the performance and quality of the device so much, so for the basic model the device shows itself quite adequately.

According to its technical characteristics, the model is close to Samsung Galaxy S2. With video and games, the gadget is helped to cope with the rather powerful four-core Mali400MP4 accelerator bundled with a 1.6 GHz processor.

In general, the model looks very attractive: a quality 7-inch display with a resolution of 1280x800 pixels and an IPS matrix on board, 1 GB of RAM, good speakers with a decent volume margin, USB-OTG connectors and 8 GB of internal memory.

You can also add a leather case, simple root-rights in one click, the ability to change ID-memory and a lot of custom firmware for "Android", starting with version 4.2.1. All this has an inexpensive tablet with 3G Prestigio, and this makes it a very profitable purchase.

The only thing that reviews user reviews as a fly-spoon is the low quality of both cameras and the lack of wireless connections: except for 3G and Wye-Fay, the model does not have any protocol - Bluetooth or the equivalent.

SUPRA M741G

Cheap tablets with 3G support are still a compromise version of the "Wai-Fay" devices. But the price for such a device is slightly higher: cheaper than six thousand rubles "Supruga" with the G mark is not found.

But the money spent on this device is fully justified from a technical point of view. The quad-core processor on the MediaTek MT8389 chip provides excellent performance for two SIM cards, a GPS and a 5 megapixel camera.

In the rest, an inexpensive tablet with 3G from Supra looks ordinary: a TN-matrix with a resolution of 1024x600 pixels, 1 GB of RAM and a 3000 mAh battery. Judging by the feedback from users, the impression from the tablet is more or less good, the only thing owners often complain about is the too high energy consumption, which means that the battery life is short.

Wexler TAB 7t 16GB

Ruler TAB 7t from "Wexler" - it's cheap tablets with 3G, but with a pretty powerful stuffing. The model is based on the architectural base from "nVidia" series Tegra 3 and is available in several versions: internal memory 8/16/32 Gb and the presence of a 3G module.

The device is equipped with an IPS-matrix on a 7-inch screen with a resolution of 1280 by 800 pixels. There is a rear camera with 5 megapixels, good speakers with a quality audio adapter and a GPS module. The price for the Russian market is quite attractive - 6000 rubles on the Yandex-market.

But cheap tablets with 3G can not do without a fly of tar. User reviews note unusual for the video accelerator "Tegra" software failures, as a result of which the manufacturer was forced to release frequent firmware updates.

Despite the positioning of the gadget as a device for gamers and enthusiasts, the model, due to its technical characteristics and built-in software, can not boast of a vast space for self-customization of existing software by users. Some third-party firmware that can fix the situation is not and is not expected, so many phone functions remain undeveloped - for example, the user can not check the status of the account through a USSD-request.

But in general, even in this form, the gadget realizes itself in the game plan completely, and the modules "Vai-Fay" and GPS work a little better than other budget options. In addition, other cheap tablets with 3G do not look as beautiful as "Wexler".

ASUS FonePad HD 7 ME372CG

Brands of the first echelon do not often condescend to the release of budget devices, because you can make money on the usual retail in the segment of premium models, but exceptions, fortunately, happen, and the FonePad model is just entering this lucky number.

"Asus" introduced a real exotic to the gadget market - a tablet that runs on Intel's Atom processor. The chip appeared a couple of years ago and has two cores on board 1600 MHz with four computational flows. This can not boast of other cheap tablets with 3G.

The brand did not raise the prices for its device, and on large Internet sites the device can be seen for 9500-10 000 rubles, which is quite good for such impressive and firm stuffing.

The gadget has a 7-inch display on an IPS-matrix with a resolution of 1280x800 pixels, excellent stereo sound, support for 3G networks, GPS, a 5-megapixel camera and its basic characteristics is close to the flagship in the face of "Nexus 7". In general, the model turned out to be very successful and deserves attention, especially as feedback from users about the device is very flattering.

IconBit NETTAB SKAT RX

The SKAT RX model can be classified as the "Best Chinese Tablets". The review should immediately begin with the pride of the Chinese processor industry - RockChip RK3188. The chip works with the Cortex-A9 architecture, which is considered one of the most productive, and four 1600 MHz cores each allow the device to easily cope with games and demonstrate performance comparable to the Galaxy S3 from Samsung.

Optimization of the video accelerator Mali400MP4 with internal resources allowed the gadget to produce very good FPS indicators at high graphics settings. The only thing that users mark in their responses as a clear drawback of the device is a morally obsolete display with a resolution of 1024 by 768 pixels, well, the rear camera could also be made more qualitative.

But even despite such shortcomings at a cost of five thousand rubles the model remains very attractive even for those who need good graphics in games and comfortable work in the browser.

In the Middle Kingdom, this model is better known as the Cube U35GT, and, alas, has no great potential for enthusiasts: "Route" is the right with minimal modification of the firmware - that's all the space for fans to do everything for themselves.

Summarizing

Tablet market has become wider, richer and more diverse. You can see models for a thousand rubles, and for 70 000. If someone is interested in premium lines, but money, as often happens, is not enough, you can try instead of new Chinese devices to find used devices from the same "Samsung "And Apple, the good did it if not for ages, then competently and with love to the user.

The only thing that you can warn future owners: there are forgeries, so be careful and careful.
