Although in some moments and for some profiles we find that certain tablets have practically no rivals, deciding which is the best tablet of one kind or another always means thinking of different alternatives and measuring them one to another, which is why we always pay so much attention to comparative. We review the most important duels of the moment and those that are yet to come.
iPad 2018 vs. Galaxy Tab S2
With the price drop that has been experiencing throughout 2018, it begins to make sense to even consider the Galaxy Tab S3 as an alternative to iPad 2018 (Especially if we are considering buying the Apple Pencil, since the S Pen is included and makes the price difference even less), but really the most direct rival for the latest apple tablet is still the Galaxy Tab S2. And, as often happens when we compare the tablets of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), and those of Samsung, it is primarily a matter of choosing between performance and multimedia, although there are some questions in relation to the design that in this case are also worth taking into account, without it being necessary to tilt the balance of either case clearly in this case, but each one has its own virtues (metallic casing versus laminated screen and smaller dimensions).
Galaxy Tab S3 vs. MediaPad M5 10
In the field of high-end Android tablets, on the other hand, there is no doubt that the key duel is the one held by the current champion, the Galaxy Tab S3, with the applicant, the MediaPad M5 10. Huawei has only gained ground in recent times in the market for tablets, thanks mainly to the mid-range models, but this year it has dared to try the assault also on the high-end, trying to offer a solid alternative to the tablet of Samsung in section multimedia but with a price something more affordable (although we must bear in mind that the first comes with the S Pen included, which means that they are not really that far away if we are interested in the stylus). Getting the title from the best screen was something too complicated, but it has tried to compensate with spectacular audio. The fact that the Korean tablet has recently been updated to Android Oreo, yes, it equals them in software, a point at which initially the Chinese had an advantage, simply because it was a more recent launch.
Mi Pad 4 vs. MediaPad M5 8.4
For all those who are thinking about the most affordable model of the Mi Pad 4 (with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage capacity), really the most direct rivals would be others Chinese tablets with Android, like the Teclast T8 or the Teclast M89, but the star duel right now among the 8-inch tablets is the one that holds the top model (with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage capacity) and the 8.4-inch version of the MediaPad M5. Of course, for many it will tip the balance on the tablet side of Xiaomi su price, although from what we are seeing, we will have to wait yet to be able to get it at a reasonable price. Pay a little more to get the tablet from HuaweiIn any case, it may be worth it not only to avoid the inconvenience of importation, but also to take an important leap in the section multimedia, where it has a considerable advantage.
iPad Pro 2018 vs. Galaxy Tab S4
And after highlighting what have been the 3 great duels of 2018 so far, it is time to look forward and here there is not much doubt that the most important confrontation that we will witness even in 2018, is the one that will occur between iPad Pro 2018 and Galaxy Tab S4. This will be, in fact, the great battle of the year and it seems that in two or three months we will already have all the cards on the table, because the tablet of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), should arrive in September and everything indicates that the Samsung it will do it before even. The two will arrive with important news in the section of design, although we have a clearer idea of what we can expect in this sense from the Korean tablet than from the apple one, of which the only thing we can take for granted is that it will dispense with Touch ID in favor of Face ID ( This opens up many possibilities, but it is not clear by which those from Cupertino will decide). We will have to wait to see if this time we find a more balanced combat in performance and multimedia, or if each one continues to reign comfortably in its field.
