There are not many high-end tablets on Android that can be presented as alternatives even to the cheapest of those of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, but in the catalog of Lenovo we have one of those few that is worth taking into account and in this comparative We are going to review the characteristics of both to help you decide which one may interest you the most: iPad 2018 vs. Lenovo Tab 4 10 Plus.
Integrated
La Tab 4 10 Plus begins to show that it can be an interesting alternative to iPad 2018 in the design section, where it has little to envy: not only does it come with a USB type C port (something that many will consider an advantage over the lightning devices of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),), but also has a fingerprint reader and premium materials, although Lenovo He decided to go for the glass instead of the more typical metallic casing of the apple tablets.
Dimensions
Tablet optimization Lenovo In the dimension section it is also very good and, even though its screen is somewhat larger than that of the tablet of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), we find that they are quite close in size, the difference in proportions really drawing more attention (24x16,95 inch against 24,7x17,3 inch). Regarding the weight, it can also be considered that they are in a technical tie (469 grams against 475 grams) and in thickness is the Tab 4 10 Plus the one that gets ahead even (7,5 mm against 7 mm).
Screen
The screen section is where perhaps the tablet shines less Lenovo, more than anything because it does not make the leap to the Quad HD that we normally expect from high-end tablets, so the advantage in terms of resolution is for the tablet of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), (2048 x 1536 against 1920 x 1200). However, we must take into account the difference in size that we have already advanced that there was (9.7 inches against 10.1 inches) and they also do not use the same aspect ratio (4: 3, optimized for reading, versus 16:10, optimized for video playback). It can also be counted in favor of the Tab 4 10 Plus whether your screen is laminated (the point at which the iPad 2018, as was the case with its predecessor, it is in turn one step behind).
Performance
Although the Tab 4 10 Plus It comes well served in the performance section, above, of course, what is usual in Android tablets, mounting at least a mid-range Qualcomm processor, the iPad 2018 does win a clear victory in this section, by less when it comes to power (A10 quad core to 2,34 GHz against Snapdragon 625 eight-core and 2,0 GHz), because it is true, on the other hand, that it is behind in RAM (2 GB against 4 GB). As always in these cases, it must be remembered that the operating system makes an important difference, a factor that usually works in favor of the devices of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),.
Storage capacity
Double win for the Tab 4 10 PlusOn the other hand, in the section on storage capacity: the model that we will normally find in our country not only has a card slot micro-SD (something that is always missed in the iPad), but also offers us double the internal memory (32 GB against 4 GB).
Cameras
The cameras are much less important when choosing a tablet (for most, at least), but it is another section in which the tablet also wins. Lenovo, because although in both cases we find a main of 8 MP, on the front, that of the tablet Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), is limited to meeting the minimum required almost, conn 1,2 MP, while in the other we have 5 MP.
Autonomy
As with performance, autonomy is a section in which when we compare Android tablets and iPad It is difficult to draw conclusions only from the technical specifications but, in the absence of comparable real use tests yet, we will say as an approximation that taking into account their characteristics and the capacity of their respective battery (8827 mAh against 7000 mAh) it would be expected that it was the tablet of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), the one with the advantage.
iPad 2018 vs Lenovo Tab 4 10 Plus: final balance of the comparison and price
As we have seen, the iPad 2018 It has an advantage in some important areas, such as performance and screen and probably also autonomy, but the tablet of Lenovo it performs well in all of them and has some important advantages, such as having a laminated screen and a micro-SD card slot, as well as offering us double the storage capacity and having a better front camera.
We must assess the difference in storage capacity, especially when comparing price, as well as the fact that the version that is normally found in our country of the lenovo tab 4 10 plus is LTE, which explains why it reaches the $400, but it makes it a better option for those looking for a 4G tablet, because the iPad 2018 is sold from $350, but if we want the model with 128 GB and mobile connection, it is already 570 euros.
