The price of a tablet can vary from €100 to €1000 or even more depending on the options it offers. It is therefore legitimate to ask what the right price is for this type of device. Well, the answer lies in what you want to use it for. To help you choose, I have selected 3 tablets currently on sale.
A cheap tablet just for the essentials: the Galaxy Tab A9+
If you’re looking for a tablet simply for watching videos, browsing the web and checking your social media, there’s no need to opt for an expensive model. An entry-level tablet like the Galaxy Tab A9+ will do the trick! This is one of Samsung’s cheapest offerings.
This tablet displays a 11-inch LCD screen (1920 x 1200 pixels) with 16:10 ratio and 90 Hz refresh rate. The whole thing delivers a more than adequate result, especially for the price. Enough to watch all your content in good conditions.
Inside, we have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC accompanied by 4 GB of RAM. This is enough for most everyday tasks and even playing a few small games, as long as they aren’t too demanding. The tablet also runs on Android 13, but can be quite slow at times.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 offers a satisfactory autonomy given that its 7600 mAh battery allows it to last more than 15 hours in continuous use.
Marketed at €259.90, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 is now available from €169.99which is a very good price for this entry-level tablet.
The best quality/price ratio for a tablet: the Xiaomi Pad 6
Do you want better visual quality and more advanced performance? In this case Xiaomi Pad 6 represents a good alternative. And for good reason, this tablet benefits from theone of the best value for money thanks to its price of €399.99. You can even find it on sale from €262 right now.
This tablet stands out for its beautiful aluminum finishes which limit fingerprints and its rather light weight of 490 grams, which makes it particularly pleasant to handle. Its 11-inch LCD screen occupies 84.1% of the space and displays a definition of 1800 x 2880 pixels, or a resolution of 309 pp. In addition to offering good visual quality, the Xiaomi Pad 6 also does not lack fluidity thanks to its refresh rate which can go up to 144 Hz.
This makes it a good tablet choice for users who want to play games, draw, take notes quickly, etc. Likewise, its Snapdragon 860 chip combined with 6 GB of RAM gives it more than adequate performance.
Finally, in terms of autonomy, its 8720 mAh battery allows more than 22 hours of continuous use.
We thus have a versatile tablet, with a beautiful screen even if we remain LCD and above all a high autonomy.
The best high-end tablet: the iPad Air M2
Released last month, the iPad Air M2 is clearly one of the best choices when it comes to a high-end tablet, especially for those looking for a tablet for drawing.
Here we have a tablet with impeccable finishes and above all a very beautiful 11-inch Liquid Retina LED screen. Although we are not using OLED, the iPad Air M2 ensures an excellent visual experience, whether in terms of colorimetry with a wide P3 color gamut, contrasts or brightness.
Its M2 chip allows this iPad to support demanding tasks such as creating images and videos, but also large games. The iPad Air M2 performs approximately 22% better than the iPad Air M1.
However, the iPad Air M2 disappoints a little in terms of its autonomy given that it lasts on average 10 hours of use.
The iPad Air M2 is preferred if you are looking for an advanced visual experience. It is a very good choice for artists, amateurs or not. But for this, you will have to invest in an Apple Pencil Pro, which is not automatically provided.
