2. Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 SM-T385

Second place is occupied by an excellent tablet within 14,000-15,000 rubles from the South Korean giant. The Galaxy Tab A 8.0 SM-T385 model comes with Android 7.1 “on board” and is equipped with a 1280x800 pixel screen.

The best tablets priced up to 15,000 rubles 10 inches

For most users, a tablet computer is a more compact and convenient replacement for a laptop. It is not surprising that buyers most often prefer a large diagonal. On 10-inch models, you can comfortably watch movies, play modern games, edit documents, access your favorite sites and communicate with friends in instant messengers. Separately, it is worth noting the possibility of connecting a docking station with a keyboard unit, which is offered by most models of this class. It will especially please users who are thinking about which tablet to choose for work or study.

1. ASUS ZenPad 10 Z301MFL

The category opens with an excellent tablet for movies and the Internet from ASUS. The ZenPad 10 Z301MFL is the newest device among our selected 10-inch solutions. For this reason, a plastic case instead of metal, a battery of only 4680 mAh and only 2 GB of RAM in the version with 16 GB of permanent memory look rather strange. Otherwise, in terms of price-quality ratio, the Asus tablet is an ideal choice for your money. The device runs on Android 7.0, is equipped with a 4-core MT8735 chip with a frequency of 1.45 GHz from the MediaTek brand and a 2-core Mali-T720 video accelerator. ZenPad 10 also has a micro SIM tray, thanks to which the tablet works in 3G and 4G networks. Other important advantages include a USB-C port specification 3.1, GPS and GLONASS, as well as the possibility of optionally purchasing high-quality branded cases and a keyboard. But the main and front cameras of 5 and 2 MP, respectively, are also too weak for a modern device.

Advantages:

• wonderful design and excellent assembly;
• commercially available branded accessories;
• high-speed USB Type-C 3.1 connector;
• SIM card slot and LTE support;
• there is keyboard and OTG support;
• high-quality matrix (1920x1200 pixels);
• system speed and shell convenience.

Flaws:

• plastic case;
• battery capacity;
• mediocre cameras.

2. Lenovo Miix 320 10 2GB 32GB Wi-Fi

In second position is the Lenovo Miix 320 tablet, which is excellent in terms of reliability. It is equipped with a high-quality Full HD matrix made using IPS technology, as well as loud stereo speakers and a good microphone. The tablet runs on Windows 10, so its hardware platform corresponds to the operating system chosen by the manufacturer: an Atom x5 processor with 4 cores of 1.44 GHz, Intel graphics and 2 GB of DDR3 RAM operating at a frequency of 1600 MHz. The built-in storage in one of the best tablets in the rating is only 32 gigabytes, but it can be expanded with microSD cards.

Some of the important advantages of the Lenovo Miix 320 over its competitors include a complete docking station with a comfortable keyboard, two full-fledged USB ports, a USB-C 3.1 connector, high-quality assembly and excellent battery life. The main disadvantage of the device at its cost is the insufficient amount of RAM. Taking into account the chosen OS, the manufacturer should have installed at least 4 GB of RAM in its 10-inch tablet.

Advantages:

• flawless assembly;
• autonomy indicators;
• convenient keyboard block;
• USB Type-C connector version 3.1;
• excellent high-resolution display;
• good stereo speakers with Dolby technology support.

Flaws:

• RAM volume;
• OS optimization.

3. Lenovo Tab 3 Business X70L

Third place in the category is taken by another Android tablet from the Lenovo brand. Already from the name of the Tab 3 Business X70L model, the target audience to which this device is directed is clear. A well-assembled tablet costing up to 15 thousand runs Android 6.0, is equipped with a 10.1-inch matrix (1920x1200 pixels) and has a slot for a micro-SIM card. Other advantages of the Tab 3 Business X70L include the presence of an NFC module, good 5 and 8 MP cameras, stereo speakers and a capacious 7000 mAh battery. Created by Lenovo, the tablet can be used for work, creativity, watching movies and other similar tasks. But the gaming capabilities of the device are extremely limited, because the MT8735 processor with 4 cores at 1.3 GHz, Mali-T720 graphics and 2 GB of RAM cannot cope with modern projects.

Advantages:

• premium build;
• perfect GPS performance;
• ideal protection against splashes and dust;
• presence of a slot for a SIM card;
• excellent matrix;
• stereo speaker sound;
• built-in NFC module;
• attractive appearance;
• stable Wi-Fi operation.

Flaws:

• the speakers are located inconveniently;
• outdated processor.

4. Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 SM-T580

Galaxy Tab A 10.1 SM-T580 is a good 10-inch tablet model from Samsung. The device is equipped with an Exynos 7870 processor, developed internally by the South Korean company. This “stone” has 8 cores and operates at a frequency of 1600 MHz. The processor is complemented by a Mali-T830 video accelerator, so this popular tablet model is best suited for gaming purposes.

The resolution of the 10-inch matrix installed in the Galaxy Tab A is 1920x1200 pixels, providing a decent density of 224 ppi. Of the wireless modules in the tablet with a bright large screen from Samsung, there is only Bluetooth version 4.2 and Wi-Fi, so the user will not always be able to access the Internet outside the home.

One of the important advantages of the model is the capacious 7300 mAh battery. Thanks to such a battery, the device is able to demonstrate good autonomy of 13 hours of continuous operation when playing video. The tablet has 2 gigabytes of RAM, which is quite enough for Android 6.0 OS, which runs one of the best tablet computers in the mid-price segment.

Advantages:

• color rendition and maximum brightness;
• remarkable autonomy;
• performance and optimization;
• support for microSD cards up to 256 GB;
• excellent assembly;
• high-quality speakers;
• decent 8 MP rear camera.

Flaws:

• Wi-Fi does not always have a good signal;
• Auto brightness doesn't work well.

Which tablet should I buy?

The life of a modern person is in constant motion. For this reason, watching new films and TV series, communicating with friends, surfing the Internet and performing other tasks often have to be done in between the main work. At the same time, for comfortable relaxation and more efficient performance of duties, users often purchase tablet computers. Our rating of tablets in the price category up to 15,000 rubles will help you decide on the ideal device for your individual requirements, where we have selected for you the most attractive devices both in design and parameters.

Tablets in the range of up to 15 thousand are already more or less productive and high-quality devices that are capable of performing most of the functions of a modern tablet without any problems. Such devices are a transitional link from a smartphone to a computer or, rather, a laptop. They have more capabilities than a smartphone, but less than a computer, and this is precisely the set that a very large number of people need. Tablets have appeared relatively recently. People saw the first variations of such devices in the science fiction film “Star Trek” back in 1960. For a long time, different people and companies developed similar devices that at least partially possessed the functions that were shown on the screen. Other science fiction films were released that also featured devices similar to tablets, but things did not move beyond concepts, not very working prototypes and the general idea. And only in the 2000s the first devices of this type began to appear, which had at least conditionally similar functionality. For many years, technologies were honed, devices were improved, modernized, received new functions and capabilities, until they became what people are used to seeing now. Of course, this is far from the latest version of tablet devices. It is predicted that in the near future they will completely replace laptops, and they, in turn, will “push” desktop computers. In any case, now a tablet can solve a very significant list of tasks that previously required a computer. Below is a rating of tablets under 15,000 rubles, which have good characteristics and can provide the user with a number of advantages, compared to other people who do not have such devices. It should be noted that tablets are often not used at their peak capabilities. For most people, it is enough that they can watch a movie on their device and find information on the Internet. Games are rarely in demand, and even less often such devices are used to perform other functions, such as working with graphics, documents, and so on. Among other things, they are sometimes used to read books, becoming a kind of analogue of an e-book. They also have many other features that may also be useful to some user groups.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 SM-T350 16 Gb

A stylish, simple and productive device, which is produced in several color variations, thanks to which any user can choose the model that best suits him, visually. This device was included in the rating of tablets under 15,000 rubles also because it is produced by the famous company Samsung, which has long been known for producing high-quality and efficient equipment. The processor of this model operates at a frequency of 1.2 GHz and has four cores, thanks to which the tablet gets good performance and multitasking. The device has one and a half gigabytes of RAM, which is average. Usually, it is either 2 or 1 gigabyte, but in this device the developers decided to compromise by creating a relatively cheap and relatively productive device. The model's screen size is not too large, 8 inches, which can support a resolution of 1024 by 768. An IPS matrix is ​​used. All this together gives good image quality, excellent color reproduction, and a wide viewing angle. At the same time, the screen is not too big at the same time, so that the device can be easily carried with you and used anywhere, and on the other hand, it is not too small. You can look at everything you need, watch a movie, read information or a book, play games, and so on. The battery capacity is 4.2 thousand mAh, which gives about 12 hours of operation in not the most economical mode. If you use the tablet to a minimum, it can last for the whole day. Well, if you actively use the device and load it to the maximum, then the operating life, of course, will be greatly reduced. There are two cameras. One is 5 megapixels, the other is 2 megapixels. Not very good, but they perform their functions properly.

Lenovo Tab 2 X30L 16 Gb LTE

This is a cheaper device, although not by much. It is typical for Lenovo to produce good equipment at relatively low prices, which makes devices from this manufacturer deserved owners of the most effective ratio between price and quality. They are produced, just like the previous device, in several color variations. The device's speakers are not located very well - on the back side of the case, as a result of which the sound does not come to the user, but from her. The sound, however, leaves much to be desired, but in general, everything you need is audible. Moreover, if you connect headphones (and many users work with the tablet this way), then this problem disappears altogether. The processor of this model has the same four cores, but the clock frequency is 100 MHz higher than that of the higher model, which in general does not play a global role. But, there is half a gigabyte less RAM and this already plays a significant role. However, although this tablet does not have very high performance and will not be able to support work with demanding modern games and applications, it is still capable of performing its basic functions well. The model's screen measures 10.1 inches, which is significantly larger than the tablet above. This makes it more convenient to use at home. Watching a movie or reading a book becomes much more comfortable, but on the road it is more difficult to use this device due to its rather large size. A resolution of 1280 by 720 pixels is supported and an IPS matrix is ​​used, which makes the image high-quality, bright, clear and allows the user to work with the tablet from any suitable side. The battery capacity is almost twice as large, thanks to which the model can work without recharging for a very long time.

Xiaomi MiPad 2 16 Gb

This model comes in only one color, however, it uses a light body and a contrasting black frame around the screen, which gives an interesting visual effect precisely due to this combination. The processor here is from Intel, much more powerful - 2.2 GHz. Given that the tablet has the same number of cores and 2 gigabytes of RAM, it turns out that this device is much more productive than both previous devices. However, it has one significant drawback, due to which the tablet becomes severely limited in its functionality. So, it only has 16 gigabytes of memory, without the ability to increase it using a memory card. At the same time, about four gigabytes are still occupied by the operating system, which leaves the user with only 12 gigabytes or so. In general, if you use the tablet mainly only to search for information on the Internet and so on, then this free space will be enough, but you won’t be able to download movies, many games, applications, and so on onto the tablet. The screen of the device is not too large - 7.9 inches. In fact, the difference between 8 inches can only be detected if you place both devices next to each other, and even then, it will be almost imperceptible. The device supports a very high resolution for such a screen and has an IPS matrix, so there are no complaints about the image quality, it is simply excellent. The cameras are also much better - 8 and 5 megapixels, which allows you to organize both high-quality video conferences and take good pictures. The battery capacity is also very significant - more than 6 mAh. Yes, the performance is also higher, but the screen size is smaller, which together gives the tablet a long battery life, especially if you do not use it at full capacity all the time.

Lenovo Yoga Tablet 8.3 16 Gb 4G (850 M)

This is an interesting and unique device, primarily due to its appearance. On one side, on the long side, there is a special rounded thickening, inside of which there is a battery. Due to this, the overall thickness of the tablet is significantly smaller. This thickening makes it convenient to hold the tablet in a portrait position. But this is far from the only feature of this device. So, on the same side as the indicated thickening, there is a special stand, thanks to which the tablet can be installed on the surface much more conveniently, it can be placed as a TV, and so on. In addition, there is a hole on it, with which the tablet can be easily hung on any suitable stud on the wall, completely turning it into a TV. The processor frequency of this model is 1.3 GHz, and the number of cores is identical to all previous models - 4 pieces. There is only 1 gigabyte of RAM, but in general, this will be enough for most standard activities. The tablet has the same amount of memory as the device above, however, unlike it, it is possible to insert a memory card, which makes the functionality of the model wider and allows you to store a lot of useful information. The screen is not too big - 8 inches. On the wall, the device will look too small, although, in general, everything you need can be seen. But, it is convenient to take it with you and use it on the road, in public transport, and so on. The battery capacity is 6.2 thousand mAh, which, together with the small screen and not the highest performance, gives a relatively long battery life. There is only one camera – 8 megapixels. It allows you to take good pictures, but the lack of a front camera does not have the best effect on the video communication capabilities of this model.

ASUS ZenPad 10 Z300C 16 Gb

This tablet stands out among other analogues due to its interesting body. Overall, there is nothing truly innovative or unique about it, but the ribbed texture used makes it much more comfortable to hold the tablet in your hands and, importantly, does not leave fingerprints on it, which is very annoying when using so many other models. Like some other devices of this type, this device is produced in several colors, from which the potential owner can choose the color that best suits him. It uses a powerful quad-core process from Intel, similar to some of the models listed above. There is already as much as 2 gigabytes of RAM, which is enough for almost all the needs of most users. Everything you need works stably, quickly, and efficiently. The only exceptions are particularly resource-intensive applications, as well as some of the modern games that require too much performance from tablets. The screen of the device is glossy, it uses an IPS matrix, which provides a number of advantages, and its size is 10.1 inches, which, together with a resolution of 1280 by 800 pixels, gives good image quality. As mentioned above, this size may not be very convenient for use on the road, however, it is just fine for home use, and in other cases it’s quite possible to get used to it. The tablet has 16 gigabytes of memory built-in and another 64 gigabytes can be added using a memory card. The capacious battery will last about 8 hours of using the tablet, but a lot depends on how actively you use it. For example, in economy mode it will work until the evening from the very morning, but when used for powerful games, which this device can still “pull”, the charge will only last for a few hours.

DEXP Ursus TS197 Navis

This tablet is no different, visually, from other analogues. A completely ordinary device, without any frills or elements that could attract the attention of the average user. But in terms of performance, this model can give a head start to many. It uses a powerful processor with 1.33 GHz from Intel, which has 4 cores. There are two gigabytes of built-in RAM, so the device will not have problems with performance in almost all situations. Just like the model above, there is 16 gigabytes of memory with the manufacturer’s provision for increasing it by 64 gigabytes, which becomes available when you connect a Micro SDXC memory card. Graphics are also handled by the Intel graphics chip, so everything is fine on that side as well. Screen size – 9.7 inches. That is, it is quite big. A high resolution of 2048 by 1536 pixels and an IPS matrix are used, which automatically means high picture quality. It is convenient to watch movies, play games, search for information on the Internet, read books and so on. The only negative is that it is still too big for use outside the home, but if necessary, you can easily get used to it. The device’s battery is very capacious – 8 thousand mAh, which gives the device a relatively long battery life without the need for charging. The cameras are frankly weak. They can perform their functions, but in general, the front one is only enough for making video calls, and the rear one is enough for taking not the best pictures. Thanks to the built-in GPS module, the tablet can serve as a navigator, however, given the lack of support for the GLONASS system, it is not very effective, because there will be no way to compare data from two systems, which is important in many situations.

ASUS Zen Pad 8.0 Z380KL 16 Gb

Just like the similar device from the same manufacturer described above, this model stands out for its back cover, which is textured, comfortable, interesting, eye-catching, and so on. Otherwise, visually the tablet has no other standout features, like the vast majority of other similar devices. In terms of its capabilities, this device also does not particularly stand out, rather relating to models of average performance. A processor from Qualcomm with the same four cores and 1 gigabyte of RAM. That's all, except for the Adreno graphics chip model 306. The device will not be enough for powerful games or applications, but for standard use, without any special frills or excessive requirements, this will be quite enough. The screen is also not amazing, although it cannot be called poor quality. Classic eight inches with a supported resolution of 1280 by 800, which is standard for any similar devices. It is possible to insert a SIM card and a memory card. The latter will give an additional 64 gigabytes to the 16 base ones with which the tablet is equipped at the time of manufacture. This is a good indicator, because a lot of information can be stored, many games and applications can be installed, many movies can be saved, and so on. The battery, according to the developers, will last about ten hours. But here, depending on how the device is used. If you use it too actively, this period can be reduced by half or even more, and if you don’t touch the tablet too much, it will work for a day without any problems. 2 and 5 megapixel cameras are weak. It is extremely difficult to use them other than for video communication or taking low-quality pictures.

After a long decline, the tablet computer market is gradually moving into a growth stage. Moreover, not only new products are now in high demand among buyers, but also devices released over the past 2-3 years. But what to choose among the available range of mobile devices so that the purchase will please you not only here and now, but also boast a reserve for the future?

To answer this question, we decided to put together the best tablets under 15,000 rubles in 2018-2019 and sort them into the 3 most popular categories. In total, our attention was attracted by 8 models, the cost of which is fully justified by their design and quality.

This tablet computer boasts an attractive appearance and an affordable price of 6 thousand rubles. The device pleases with its compact size and bright 7-inch screen (1280x800).

Important! Due to the need to reduce prices while maintaining decent quality, the manufacturer was forced to make serious sacrifices. Thus, the battery capacity in the device under review is only 2200 mAh, so for comfortable work on a long trip you may need a power bank.

The hardware platform here is as simple as possible, so it is only enough for browsing websites, communicating on the Internet, navigating and watching videos.

• Balanced “filling”.
• Screen calibration quality.
• Stable Wi-Fi operation.
• Notification indicator.
• Dimensions and weight.

Flaws:

• Slow charging.

Lenovo Tab 4 TB-7504X 2Gb 16Gb

Another worthy solution in terms of price and quality is the Tab 4 TB-7504X tablet from the Chinese brand Lenovo. This is the only device in the second category equipped with an HD display with an aspect ratio of 16:9 rather than 16:10. The diagonal of the screen in Tab 4 is 7 inches, so it can easily fit even in the pocket of a winter jacket.

If you are satisfied with the dimensions of the Lenovo tablet when considering it as an alternative to a regular smartphone, then an important advantage for you will be the presence in the Tab 4 of a tray for two nano SIMs, a cell phone mode and LTE support.

The device demonstrates good performance in all everyday tasks. But the tablet from Lenovo is completely unsuitable for games, since it uses not the most productive combination from MediaTek and Mali. But there are no complaints about the autonomy of the device, because it is equipped with a capacious 3500 mAh battery.

Advantages:

• Compact sizes.
• System performance.
• You can install two SIMs.
• Nice Launcher.
• Good build quality.
• Availability of an event indicator.

Flaws:

• Long charging time.
• Very bad cameras.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 SM-T385 16Gb

The first place is occupied by a direct competitor of the tablet computer described above from the Huawei brand. The cost of the Galaxy Tab A 8.0, produced by Samsung, starts at 12,500 rubles. The hardware here is similar, but the cameras are better: 8 and 5 MP for the rear and front modules, respectively. The device has a SIM card tray, and also has the ability to send SMS and make calls.

Despite the cost of an 8-inch tablet no more than 15,000 rubles, the manufacturer did not skimp on the quality of materials. As a result, the reliability of the affordable Galaxy Tab A is comparable to the company's top devices. As for autonomy, it is even better than that of flagships, since the manufacturer chose a 5000 mAh battery for the energy-efficient “filling”. It is enough for 14 hours of continuous video playback.

Advantages:

• Cell phone mode.
• A huge battery lasts up to 2 days of battery life.
• Excellent optimization.
• Hardware platform.
• High quality screen.
• USB Type C port.

Flaws:

• Touch buttons are not backlit.
• There is no automatic backlight adjustment.

The best tablets under 15,000 rubles with a powerful battery

BQ 1077L

If you want not only to choose a tablet priced up to 15,000 rubles, but to get a high-quality and fashionable device, then we recommend taking a closer look at the BQ 1077L. Let us immediately note that this tablet is completely unsuitable for games, because even the RAM here is only 1 gigabyte. But in other respects, with a price tag of 7,000 rubles, the BQ 1077L has no equal:

1. 9 colors with individual images on the back panel;
2. 10.1-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1280x800 pixels;
3. high-quality case, protected from impacts;
4. huge 8000 mAh battery;
5. the ability to charge other devices from the BQ tablet computer;
6. tray for a pair of SIM cards and work in fourth generation networks.

Of course, due to the low cost, the manufacturer could not do without disadvantages. So, both cameras here are of very low quality. But if such a nuance can be forgiven for its price, then the presence of only 8 GB of storage and microSD support only up to 32 GB is a serious drawback.

Advantages:

• Original appearance.
• Brightness and screen calibration.
• Very affordable price tag.
• Huge battery.
• Function for charging external devices.
• The device is not afraid of shocks.

Flaws:

• Little built-in and RAM memory.
• Considerable weight.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 SM-T580 16Gb

This year, the Galaxy Tab A 10.1 SM-T580 will celebrate its third anniversary. However, after such an impressive time for the mobile market, the device still remains relevant, remaining one of the most purchased. The tablet is based on a proprietary high-performance chipset (Exynos 7870) and is complemented by Mali graphics, demonstrating good performance in almost all tasks, including modern games.

However, the Galaxy Tab A 10.1 is mainly suitable for movies, surfing the Internet, reading books and similar tasks. All this looks simply great on a high-quality display with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. This is confirmed by consumer reviews about the tablet with the best battery (7300 mAh). The latter, by the way, is enough for 13 hours of continuous video playback at above-average brightness.

What can be highlighted:

1. Excellent screen resolution.
2. Long battery life.
3. Productive “filling”.
4. Build quality and design.
5. Volume and clarity of sound.

Which tablet to buy within 15 thousand

If we evaluate the rating of tablets costing up to 15 thousand in general, then Samsung will be unambiguous in it. Depending on the required diagonal, you can choose the Tab A 10.1 or Tab A 8.0 model. In second place among brands is Huawei. Again, consumers will be able to choose between a smaller device and a 10-inch tablet computer. If you want to save money, then there is another alternative in the form of the Chinese brand Lenovo. A very modest budget is worth spending on Digma or BQ.

Rostislav Kuzmin

Greetings to all readers of my blog! I have already done this. If your budget is slightly larger, then I am ready to help you choose a good tablet under 15,000 rubles. This is exactly the average price within which you can pick up fairly well-known brands.

If you ask a retail store consultant “Recommend a tablet within 15,000”, then with a high probability he will offer a model with the maximum price tag affordable for you, i.e. for 14500 or 14900. It is possible that they may offer a little more than the budget for the sake of better characteristics. I don't do that. After all, it is not the price that is more important, but the needs of the buyer. And if a tablet for 12,000 suits his needs perfectly, then why force him into something more expensive?

My review focuses on key features and reliability. The TOP consists of 3 categories (according to screen size). Each category has the top five and its own leader. This includes inexpensive, but good and reliable tablets of different classes.

In order not to make a boring description of such indicators as RAM size, number of processor cores, battery capacity, etc., I prepared a summary table. In it you can clearly understand whether there are differences in technical characteristics between the models and compare those that are most interesting. As I already noted, the rating will be divided into categories with a diagonal of 7 or less, from 8 to 9, 10 or more inches.

This table does not provide complete information. To understand which tablet is better to buy, let’s move on to a detailed review of each five.

Five of the best 7-inch tablets under 15,000 rubles

Samsung Galaxy opens and closes the top five. Budget tablets in this series for 2017 are not distinguished by functionality, but they captivate with reliability and quality. If average technical characteristics are enough for you, but impeccable performance is important, then choose this brand.

The advantages of the tablet are compactness, lightness, battery life up to 10 hours and the presence of 4G. This makes it a good choice for modern youth, who prioritize mobility and communication skills. I would like to point out the camera with 5 megapixels. The nominal memory of 8 GB increases to 128 GB, which not all budget models allow. ( 2 store, Moscow).

What is attractive about the tablet is: high performance (no complaints about applications freezing), excellent display quality (good visibility, without distortion, from any angle, no eye fatigue when reading books), the presence of two navigation systems (GLONASS and GPS), the presence of a 4G cellular module communications, 5 MP camera with autofocus. Moreover, the average price for a gadget is even slightly below 10,000 rubles.

The tablet's technical characteristics will impress any user: 8-core processor, display resolution 1920x1200 pixels, 13 MP camera with flash, Full HD video recording. This is the best option in terms of equipment. There is also high-speed Internet, a slot for a 128 GB card and GPS. The model is not in the first position in the rating only because of complaints about severe overheating during energy-intensive games and poor sensor sensitivity.

High-performance (3 GB RAM) and super compact tablet with a diagonal of 6.4". A good battery reserve allows you to use the device on long hikes. The built-in 32 GB of memory is expandable up to 128 GB. There is support for GPS and LTE (high-speed Internet), a slot for two SIMs. Also worth noting is a 13 megapixel camera with flash and high quality video recording. An excellent new model from a trusted manufacturer.

It differs from the model presented at the beginning of the rating in the absence of cellular communication modules, the presence of GLONASS instead of GPS, a different set of sensors and lighter weight. The rest of the tablet is at a high level. Good quality display and cameras, capacious battery and high performance. Another advantage is that in many stores you can buy it on sale for less than 10,000 rubles.

Tablets up to 15000 with medium diagonal

As the screen increases, so does the choice of interesting tablets. Here it is difficult to say unambiguously which tablet from which company will be the leader, since the spread in technical parameters is significant.

The advantage of the model is a high screen resolution, a camera with autofocus and a resolution of 8 megapixels, a long battery life and a metal body. The presence of 64 GB of native memory could be considered an advantage, but the lack of a slot for an external card spoils the whole impression. There is also no cellular module, only Wi-Fi. (Wi-Fi not connecting?). In reviews you can find complaints about the firmware, which is most likely due to an unsuccessful choice of supplier. (The price has risen to 20,000 rubles and the model is available everywhere).

Multifunctional and high-performance tablet with 3G, 8-inch screen and good performance. It is possible to increase the memory up to 32 GB, with LTE support there will be no problems with Internet access, the practical combined case (aluminum and plastic) looks stylish. There is support for GLONASS and GPS. Buyers note good build quality, fast surfing and the absence of software glitches. The only criticism is the delicate screen, which requires careful handling. ( 2 store, 3 store).

The tablet is equipped at a good level: a widescreen screen, a rear camera with a resolution of 8 megapixels, 4G with cell phone functions, and a high-capacity battery. The highlight is the original design with a stand for comfortable viewing of videos and movies. However, due to this feature, it may be difficult to select covers. ( 2 store, 3 store).

Simple in functionality, high quality model. Ideal for those who purchase equipment for several years and do not chase technology, but choose reliability. The native memory capacity is increased by an external card by 128 GB. Average camera parameters allow you to take good pictures and videos for the Internet and chatting with friends. Please note that there is no cellular module if you plan to use the tablet as a smartphone.

It has everything that active people need: a powerful processor, 4G, support for two SIM cards, GLONASS and GPS. The tablet has good multimedia characteristics: 2 speakers in stereo sound, FM tuner, and a headphone jack. The device supports external cards up to 128 GB. The rear camera has 5 megapixels, without flash. ( 2 store, Moscow).

10-inch tablets no more than 15,000

In this section, I hope everyone will be able to choose for themselves the best tablet with a diagonal of 10 inches and above at a price of up to 15,000 rubles. Personally, I chose my favorite based on my own values ​​and preferences.

An affordable tablet with a widescreen screen and 4 GB of RAM. The display diagonal is 11.6" with a matrix resolution of 1920x1080. The high battery capacity will ensure long-term operation of the device. The kit includes a keyboard and an external 64 GB card, with the possibility of increasing the memory by 128 GB. Weaknesses: lack of a cellular communication module, weak camera, speaker with mono sound, inability to connect to a PC via USB. In general, during operation, customers are satisfied with the speed of operation, build quality, and interface.

Well designed tablet with 3g by 10 inches. The small 8 GB memory may confuse you, but for Android this is not so critical, and there is support for 128 GB cards. It is convenient to work with several running applications, without any freezes or slowdowns. Energy-saving technology significantly increases operating time. In most cases, buyers are satisfied with the functionality and performance. ( Moscow).

New product of the year from a well-known manufacturer. The model does not yet have comprehensive reviews, but the manufacturer promises good functionality at an affordable price. The arsenal includes a widescreen screen, a cellular module with LTE support, a card slot with a maximum capacity of up to 128 GB, a 5 MP camera, GLONASS and GPS, the ability to connect to a PC via USB, headphone and headset jacks, a speaker with stereo sound, a useful set sensors IPS technology provides excellent image quality and natural color reproduction. The display is completely free of such shortcomings as glare and distortion when changing the viewing angle. The disadvantages of an IPS display are high power consumption and increased response time. This may lead to dissatisfaction with regard to fast discharge and slowness. But for a beautiful picture you need to sacrifice something.

Working tablet with keyboard included. More modern models of this series have long exceeded the upper limit of our budget, but this one can still be found at a cost of about 15,000. The build quality and screen are not satisfactory, and the performance is also at a high level. But still it is weak for daily online viewing of movies in high quality. With the ability to connect external devices and a docking station, this device is more suitable for office use, sales representatives or students.

Another model with a keyboard. An 11.6" IPS display with a high resolution will ensure comfortable work and enjoyable viewing of entertainment content. Users note a comfortable keyboard with different opening angles and good performance. Some complain about overheating, which is essentially observed in all budget devices when working with energy-intensive applications.

In conclusion, I would like to note that there is no ideal tablet, especially in the budget category. Dissatisfaction with the model will be caused by unjustified expectations, so don’t expect something super technologically advanced and super fast. Thank you for reading the prepared material. Subscribe to new publications and share links on social networks. Enjoy the shopping!

Thank you for your attention! See you again on my blog. Sincerely, Rostislav Kuzmin.

Cool

In the price category of 13-15 thousand rubles, there are quite a few successful tablet models that collect positive customer reviews. We will present the best of them in this rating. But first we want to emphasize that only models with positive reviews take part in this TOP. We were guided by them when compiling the rating.

1st place – Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 P6800 (13,000 rubles)

The leader in the number of good reviews collected is the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 P6800 worth 13,000 rubles. Of course, this is one of the most successful models from Samsung.

Characteristics:

An excellent tablet for the money, which ended up in the TOP of this rating for a reason. It has durable glass and a bright screen. At maximum brightness, even in the sun, the picture on the display will be clearly visible. Yes, the device can be used as a phone, and the most convenient way to do this is through a headset.

The hardware in the device is good: it can even handle “heavy” applications. Watch movies, play games, surf social networks - all this is available. There is more than enough memory here, considering that you can insert a flash drive. The model is reliable and durable, the assembly is excellent.

Flaws: At maximum load, the battery charge lasts for 3-4 hours. This is not enough, given the battery capacity of 5100 mAh. If you run 2 “heavy” applications in parallel, the device will begin to noticeably “slow down”. It is also easily soiled and cannot handle flash drives larger than 32 GB.

Despite the shortcomings, this is the best tablet under 15,000 rubles - we recommend it.

Video review:

2nd place – Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 P5200 (14,000 rubles)

The second place is also occupied by a model from Samsung, but this time it is better and more expensive. There is a larger screen, and better hardware, but first things first.

Characteristics:

Although the model is successful and collects positive reviews, there are also disadvantages. First, the good: low price for a tablet with similar characteristics. Good performance is provided by the hardware. Well, the 10-inch screen is also worth noting.

Flaws: there are “brakes” and freezes. There is also a weak battery, which cannot guarantee high autonomy. Yes, its 6800 mAh capacity should last for a long time, but... The screen is large and the processor is power hungry, so the battery consumption is corresponding. There are also complaints about glitches in the system itself, which causes the gadget to turn itself off and on (solved by firmware).

Overall, the device is not bad for the money. Despite its shortcomings, it still remains one of the best in its price category.

Video review:

3rd place – Xiaomi MiPad (9-10 thousand rubles)

Despite the low price, this tablet combines excellent quality and good components. It's surprising that the company was able to sell such excellent hardware at such a low price. Among existing Android tablets, this model is in third place (details).

Characteristics:

As you can see, this device does not have SIM card slots, so it does not support 3G. Well, okay... for only 9-10 thousand rubles, the model has more than decent characteristics. High performance is ensured by the hardware, which means that neither games, nor applications, nor “heavy” sites will slow down. Well, a capacious battery can also be distinguished, which holds a charge for a long time. The tablet itself is reliable, durable and beautiful, and gets 3rd place only due to fewer positive reviews. Also in the rating of reading tablets, it received 4th place due to a lack of reviews (see).

Flaws: no SIM cards or access to 3G Internet. Well, it cannot be used as a mobile phone. Some users have complaints about the firmware: it closes processes in the background and does not “hold” more than two.

If you don’t see the need for 3G Internet, then you can safely “take” this model. We recommend.

Video review:

4th place – bb-mobile Techno 8.0 TOPOL’ LTE TQ863Q (11-13 thousand rubles)

bb-mobile digital technology has always been distinguished by its low price and good performance. This model will be proof of that. Indeed, the tablet is inexpensive and can rightly be considered one of the best in its category.

Users respond like this: games and all applications “fly”, a powerful 8-core processor, supports 4G, a good camera and a decent build. All this is really true and the tablet justifies such reviews.

But there are also disadvantages: If the matrix breaks, it is very difficult to find a new one. Therefore, you should use the device very carefully. There are also complaints about the flimsy body, and the quality of the audio equipment leaves much to be desired. And the kit also comes with a bad “weak” charger. If you watch a video and charge the tablet at the same time, the battery charge will go into minus.

But overall, this is a decent tablet for the money and with positive reviews. Therefore, we include it in this rating.

Video review:

5th place – Samsung Galaxy Tab E 9.6 SM-T561N (14-15 thousand rubles)

And again a tablet from Samsung. Nothing can be done, there are simply too many gadgets from this manufacturer on the market. And they get good reviews. This particular model also took 2nd place in the ranking of tablets from Samsung. A detailed review is available at.

One of the main advantages of the tablet is its large screen and HD resolution. Working with such a screen is a pleasure. Well, entertainment also evokes much more emotions. Buyers note good performance, a capacious battery (it holds a charge for a really long time) and a good, but far from ideal camera. In good lighting, photos can be obtained more or less, but at dusk it is better not to try to photograph anything.

Performance, although not bad (the browser does not slow down with a couple of dozen open tabs), however, on Internet pages with a huge number of dynamic advertisements it can become dull. Well, video in 1080 resolution is played back without problems. Despite the far from TOP hardware, the tablet works great.

Flaws: relatively heavy, gets a little warm (not critical) under heavy loads, the battery takes a very long time to charge, although it lasts for a day with intensive use. There is also no ability to install programs on a flash drive, and only 4.7 GB of 8 GB is actually available.

Video review:

6th place – Lenovo TAB 2 A8-50LC (10-13.5 thousand rubles)

Chinese Lenovo tablets have long been popular. At a relatively low price, they can use good hardware that can provide high performance. True, this is not exactly the case.

In the TOP of Chinese tablet computers, the model is in 4th place - details.

Main advantages: bright colors of the screen, good speaker, holds a charge for a long time (and even after a year and a half, the battery efficiency does not disappear), 4G reception is stable, looks beautiful, and is put together decently.

Minuses: cameras - they are simply terrible. This applies to both rear and front. Here they are purely for show and perhaps for communication on Skype, nothing more. It’s not worth taking better photos - the quality will be poor even with ideal lighting.

Well, if we generalize and do not pay attention to the quality of the cameras, then the device is not bad: it is reliable, copes with its tasks perfectly and satisfies standard user requests. If cameras are not critical for you, then we can recommend this model.

Video review:

7th place – Lenovo Tab 3 TB3-850M (12-13 thousand rubles)

And again a model from the Chinese brand Lenovo. The Tab 3 TB3-850M is equipped with standard hardware for its price category and does not claim to be a powerful or the best tablet. Therefore, so far only 7th place due to positive customer reviews.

Considering its price, the model is very worthy. It has a bright display, good (but not very good) build quality, and a good battery that holds a charge throughout the day. Support for 4G and 3G is a self-evident advantage. And yes, it mostly lives up to expectations.

The disadvantages are a weak rear camera and a body that creaks. However, with the case you’ll be lucky. It may or may not squeak, so pay attention to this immediately when purchasing. As for performance, some demanding games will slow down, because... The processor here is far from the best.

Video review:

8th place – Prestigio MultiPad PMP1012TE (12-13 thousand rubles)

This tablet runs on Windows 10, which may be an advantage for many. And yes, it has good hardware and a huge screen, and it occupies 8th place in the ranking only because of the smaller number of positive reviews.

Good battery, great design and large screen with great HD resolution. These are the advantages of the tablet. And, of course, the qwerty keyboard is an excellent addition to the kit, thanks to which the device turns into a full-fledged laptop. Some users also highlight excellent autonomy. Essentially, this is an excellent, compact and self-contained computer.

Possible disadvantages: For many users, the tablet does not see Google Play. The cameras are also bad, but that's normal for tablets. There are complaints about the dull touchpad and weak plugs on the ports - they will quickly come off if you constantly connect/disconnect something.

Video review:

9th place – ASUS MeMO Pad 7 ME572C (12,000 rubles)

A device from Asus with a good processor and 2 GB of RAM, as well as a small FullHD screen, will cost 12,000 rubles. Considering its characteristics, the price is more than justified. So we strongly recommend that you take a closer look.

Battery, performance (thanks to the excellent CPU), nice and user-friendly interface, high quality build, stereo speakers, FullHD screen, although small.

The cameras (both) are of poor quality and take terrible pictures. Rarely do tablets have good cameras. This one was no exception. Although in general, given the low price of the tablet and the hardware, you can turn a blind eye to the cameras.

Video review:

10th place – Huawei MediaPad T1 10 (12-13 thousand rubles)

What's good or bad? Nothing, basically. This is a “standard” device in its price category with mediocre hardware, but good build and positive reviews. When we looked at Chinese-made tablets with 10-inch diagonal screens, we placed the model in 3rd place. I wonder why? See.

You shouldn't expect high performance, but surfing the Internet or watching movies is easy. The physical characteristics are amazing: the device is durable and at the same time simple and concise. It can easily withstand falls, but it's not worth testing. There is another version of this model - with a 7-inch diagonal screen. She received 2nd place in the TOP of cheap tablets (details).

There are user complaints about sensor sensitivity, poor performance (what can you expect from a weak processor?) and lack of memory.
