Yesterday we already brought you one comparative between the new MediaPad T3 and the trendy low-cost, the Mi Pad 3, and now it's time to measure your Technical specifications with those of the Galaxy Tab A 7.0. To equalize the combat, yes, this time the protagonist of the duel will not be the 8 model, but the 7-inch model, of the tablet Huawei.
Integrated
Regarding the design, the truth is that we find devices with quite similar lines, and probably the only notable difference between the two is that while the tablet of Huawei comes with a clean front, with that of Samsung, as usual, we will have a physical home button. One point in favor of MediaPad T3, in any case, is to arrive with a metal casing, because even if the A Galaxy Tab It leaves us very good finishes, there are few basic-range tablets that can boast of premium materials.
Dimensions
In the dimensions section the tablet of Huawei He signs up a few points again, because the truth is that it is a very well optimized tablet and not only turns out to be more compact than that of Samsung (17,9x10,37 inch against 18,60x10,88 inch), but it is also noticeably lighter (250 grams against 283 grams). The only thing in which there are no notable differences between the two is in thickness, which is practically the same (8,6 mm against 8,7 mm).
Screen
The scale is tilted to the side of the tablet Samsung, however, in the screen section, because despite the fact that the two have the same size (7 inches) and the same aspect ratio (16:10, optimized for video playback), the A Galaxy Tab has in its favor a higher resolution, reached the HD standard at least (1024 x 600 against 1280 x 800).
Performance
Things are more evenly matched in the performance section, although there are some interesting differences to take into account. In the first place, although in both cases we have modest processors, it should be noted that the A Galaxy Tab is a Snapdragon instead of a Mediatek and something more powerful (four cores to 1,3 GHz vs eight cores a 1,5 GHz). Second, which of the two wins out in terms of RAM, will depend on the version we choose from the MediaPad T3, because there is one with 1 GB and another with 2 GB, while his rival has 1.5 GB. Neither of them comes with the latest version of Android, but in favor of the tablet of Huawei It must be said that at least Android Marshmallow runs.
Storage capacity
If we opt for the basic version of both, we will find in both cases with 8 GB storage capacity, which is normal for this type of tablet. It may be a bit short but, fortunately, with either of the two we will also have a card slot micro-SD, which will give us the possibility of gaining space externally. It should be noted, however, that the MediaPad T3 will also be available with 16 GB (is the model with 2 GB RAM memory).
Cameras
If cameras are not a section to which we recommend paying too much attention normally when it comes to choosing a tablet, even less can we do it when the protagonists are entry-level tablets, but for those who have a special interest in this issue, we must say that the technical specifications of the A Galaxy Tab are superior in terms of the main camera (2 MP against 5 MP), while for the front they are tied (2 MP).
Autonomy
It is difficult to say which of the two will offer us better autonomy without real use tests, but for now we can at least confirm that the A Galaxy Tab part with advantage, thanks to the fact that its battery has a greater capacity (3100 mAh against 4000 mAh). In favor of the MediaPad T3 It should be mentioned, in any case, that its consumption is expected to be lower because the resolution of its screen is also lower.
Price
Of course, when looking for entry-level tablets, price is a key factor and, unfortunately, we still don't know how much the tablet will cost. MediaPad T3 In our country. It is true that some previous leaks had pointed out that it could move around 120 euros, but taking into account its characteristics perhaps Huawei may surprise us by putting it closer to 100 euros, thinking above all that the quality / price ratio has always been its strong point, and even despite details that always raise costs a bit, such as the metal casing. It will be quite close, it seems, in any case, to the A Galaxy Tab, which has already dropped a lot in price and can be found without much problem for 130 euros and even less in some distributors.
