Last minute cheat sheet for buying tablets this Diwali

The festive season is here and if you are looking to buy a tablet during the ongoing sales and discount bonanza, there are a few things that you need to know. In this article, we will tell you exactly that. Let’s begin.

1. Size is important

Selecting the right size for your tablet is important. If you want something compact, a 10-inch or lower tablet will do, but if you need it for study, work, or entertainment purposes, then you can look at 11-inch or 12.9-inch tablet sizes.

2. Performance is key

Depending on your usage, you also need to pick a tablet with the correct chip. If you are a power user and will demand a lot from your tab, you can look at chipsets like the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7-series or higher, Apple’s M-series chips, or MediaTek’s Dimensity chips.

3. Battery life = happy life

While selecting a tablet, the battery plays a key part. While tablets usually have big batteries, one should look for at least a 7,000mAh battery if you want your tablet to last for a whole day or more.

4. Display makes a difference

Apart from size, display quality also matters. AMOLED displays are more vibrant and brighter as compared to IPS LCD displays, and they save battery.

5. High refresh rate means smoothness

A high refresh rate means a smoother and more responsive display, so if you want a slick experience, go for a 90Hz or 120Hz refresh rate.

6. Connectivity

Tablets often have various variants for varying connectivity options. There are Wi-Fi only options, and there is 4G or 5G support. If you want to use a SIM with your tablet, you will need to spend extra but if you can do without, then Wi-Fi is available on all tablets out there.

7. Software makes (or breaks) the experience

Since tablets are being used for work and study purposes also, it is important to check out the software since every UI has its own multitasking features. Some of the best in terms of multitasking are Samsung, Xiaomi, Apple, and OnePlus tablets.

8. It’s all about optics

Of course, cameras are important. While tablet cameras aren’t used as much as cameras on smartphones, a lot of people take video calls and show people around on tablets. For that, we need a good quality camera on both front and back.
