In recent times we are insisting a lot that this is a great time to buy new tablet, but it is true that although right now we have a lot of options for practically any type of user and budget, there are some tablets, not only Nexus 7, who were among our preferred, whose renewal we have waited eagerly and still do not have a replacement clear.
Nexus 7: better a Nexus 8 than a Pixel C 2, at least for now
The truth is that we have always been big fans of the Nexus 7, and we already spoke at length a few days ago of the big hole left by the Nexus 7 and how there are several tablets that could be considered its successors, but that none actually manages to combine all its virtues: the Mi Pad 3 It has a great quality / price ratio but not the software or the ease of reaching any user; the Fire they have an even better price, but the software is no longer that it is not a virtue but that it is almost more a drawback and the Shield Tablet K1 It is the one that is closest to an Android stock and the one that is best kept up-to-date, but it is probably starting to need a bit of a refresh as well. It is understandable that Google are now more motivated to launch devices like the Pixel C that like his first tablet, but now that his fifth birthday is approaching, surely many of us would prefer to see what the Mountain Viewers can do with a new one Nexus 8.
Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact: the perfect tablet to always carry with us
Recently we knew a new LG tablet, which seemed presented at the most opportune moment, for the holidays, because it looked like a tablet specially designed for those who are always on the move, with a 4G connection, and quite thin and light. The reality, however, is that it is still a long way from being able to compete with a tablet that was launched almost three years ago and of which it can hardly be said that it is out of date (it even updated to Android Marshmallow, not even is not bad at all), but more than anything it is no longer found: the Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact. And it's a shame because, in addition to having technical specifications that would still measure up today, this was a perfect tablet to take anywhere: fine (6,4 mm), light (270 grams), water and dust resistant and a champion of autonomy. Was the tablet that we always recommended to travel and we would certainly continue to do so with its successor if it had one.
Xperia Z4 Tablet: to give war to the Galaxy Tab S3 and the iPad Pro 10.5
Although not as difficult to find as the 8-inch model, the X It is also practically disappeared and, although it is true that there are other great high-end tablets to turn to, such as the Galaxy Tab S3 and iPad Pro 10.5What there is is no other that can approach its level, and this is what we would like to see, someone who threw a little more wood on the fire. Sony has never been afraid of launching devices with high prices, in addition (in fact, this was one of the most expensive options at the time) and if already at the beginning of 2015 he was able to present a tablet that has little to envy in technical specifications to many of the best ones that are launched today (really, those who bought one at the time, probably will not have many incentives to change yet, taking into account that it has continued to be updated as well), the truth is that we are attracted to the idea of see what the Japanese would be capable of today.
Galaxy Tab S 10.5: a different alternative to the Galaxy Tab S3
You may say that the Galaxy Tab S 10.5 needs to be renewed sounds strange when you have had not one, but two successors, but the last one, the Galaxy Tab S3 It is simply not a tablet for all pockets. Just yesterday we were talking about the recent price increase and the alternatives in high-end tablets for 500 euros or less, and although it is true that the Galaxy Tab S2 It is still a great option and now at a very good price, the reality is that we would like to see a tablet with which we could work but that to enhance this facet would not enter a price escalation, but would be aimed at those who above all they are looking for a good multimedia device. Would it be possible if we dispense with the S Pen, the (spectacular, on the other hand) glass casing and some other feature, perhaps having a somewhat cheaper tablet, with a 10.5-inch Super AMOLED display with 2560 x 1600 resolution y aspect ratio 16:10, instead of 4: 3, and Harman Kardon speakers? Nobody has screens like those of Samsung and the truth is that we would like to see them again in a device where they were the real protagonists.
Mi Pad 2 with Windows: the desired Mi Pad 3 Pro
For many months all kinds of information circulated that suggested that the Windows version of the new tablet of Xiaomi It was not going to be the same device with a different operating system, but a much more powerful tablet, which could be presented as an alternative to expensive high-end hybrids. This is what we would no doubt all like to have come true, but perhaps we could settle for at least one Mi Pad 3 with Windows more mid-range. Because it is true that in this case there are endless chinese low-cost tablet Of which to dip into, but what is irreplaceable in this case is the quality / price ratio and the confidence it arouses. Xiaomi, which would encourage many to seek alternatives in importing to a market of mid-range Windows tablets in which the Miix 320 it's one of the few good news we've had in quite some time. A renewal even more necessary than that of the Surface 3, which would probably be more expensive and, in this sense, less useful.
