Comparison of Chinese tablets. The best Chinese tablets

It so happens that the word “Chinese” in relation to any goods is associated with something bad. This is an old stereotype that is gradually losing its relevance. Not long ago we compiled a rating of cool and truly powerful Chinese smartphones, and today it’s the turn of tablets. Chinese manufacturers have cool models in their arsenal that are receiving a lot of positive reviews.

1st place – Lenovo TAB 2 A10-70L (15-17 thousand)

We can praise this device for a long time, but first let’s move on to its characteristics.

Let's start with good:

  1. Cool screen - one of the best in its price category. It has an ideal diagonal of 10 inches (comfortable, practical, but not small);
  2. Turns on by tapping. Viewing angles are large, colors are bright;
  3. There is software adjustment of color temperature;
  4. Cool loud sound. There are several speakers that work together to create surround sound;
  5. The price of 15-17 thousand rubles, taking into account the dollar exchange rate, is quite consistent with the quality and functionality;
  6. Camera with good resolution and different effects (series, etc.);
  7. Performance allows you to play games. To achieve this, the tablet has a standard, more or less comfortable set of hardware: 4 cores, 2 GB of RAM;
  8. The case is thick and durable, the assembly is good;
  9. The 7000 mAh battery provides decent autonomy.

Flaws:

  1. The brightness range on the screen is small. The difference between 100% brightness and 0% is almost invisible.
  2. As a result of the first drawback, the minimum screen brightness is high and uncomfortable for the eyes in the dark;
  3. Also with the volume: the minimum volume is too high, so at night you have to use headphones to watch TV series (otherwise you will wake up everyone in the apartment);
  4. You need a flash drive to increase the internal memory;
  5. You need a good leather case and a protective film for the screen, because... the screen is not Gorilla Glass;
  6. The camera, although with decent resolution and effects, is very poor in quality. And the word “very” is not superfluous here. You can chat on Skype, but nothing more;
  7. Also, the camera does not turn off the shutter sound in any way. Even with headphones connected, the shutter sound plays from the speakers.

Overall: an excellent device with good characteristics. Considering its price, we can conclude that it really is one of the best in its price category. We have fairly indicated all its advantages and disadvantages. Yes, there are quite a few disadvantages here, but users do not regret the purchase at all. We recommend!

2nd place – Lenovo IdeaTab A7600 (9500-10000 rubles)

Its price on average is 10,000 rubles, and this is significantly lower than the cost of the model above. However, the characteristics here are appropriate.

So, first, let's generalize a little: given the characteristics and price, you shouldn't expect great performance from this model. This model is not for games or serious tasks. It is a kind of “home gadget” for watching movies, hanging out in social networks. 3G support gives access to the Internet in the city, and a good 6340 mAh battery provides good autonomy.

The screen is the first advantage. It's big and bright. True, its resolution is not FullHD (but simply HD), but this is good: the pixels on the screen are completely invisible, and it drains the battery much weaker. As for the hardware, it corresponds to the cost, and in this price category it is difficult to find anything better. The device receives 3G excellently, so if you cannot do without the Internet, then you can safely look in the direction of this model. You can also highlight good speakers in front, making it convenient to watch movies.

There are some disadvantages. First of all, these are cameras - they are of poor quality. But this is not surprising; it is rare to find a tablet with good cameras.

It is worth highlighting the weak, flimsy body as a disadvantage. Therefore, we recommend handling the gadget carefully. If it falls out of your hands, there is a high probability of breakage. And repairs will be unreasonably expensive. So the case is strictly recommended, and a good one at that. Another minus is that there is no HDMI, and there is no way to connect it to the TV.

To summarize, the device is cool and of relatively high quality. For 10,000 rubles, this is one of the best options, not only among Chinese-made models, but in general.

3rd place – Xiaomi MiPad (9-10 thousand rubles)

The famous Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi is popular for its cool phones. But it is not lagging behind in the tablet market either. The MiPad model turned out to be successful and quickly collected positive customer reviews.

So, now more details. First of all, attention is drawn to the cool case and assembly. It is made conscientiously and inspires confidence: nothing creaks, does not play, and does not wobble. It's nice to hold it in your hands, because... the device gives the impression of a monolithic device, takes third place in the TOP of tablets with the Android operating system (details).

Next is the screen. It's beautiful, very high resolution. Similar screens are installed on iPads. They are highly detailed, have excellent color rendition and high brightness. In terms of hardware, everything is also excellent with the tablet. Good hardware and excellent optimization allow you to “pull” even “heavy” games like the ported Doom 3. The MIUI shell, which is currently one of the best, deserves special attention. There are no lags with it, despite the lack of a full-fledged Russian firmware language. Even the camera is pretty good, considering that there are almost no normal cameras on tablets. Of course, it cannot compete with the camera in a good mobile phone (since there much more attention is paid to the camera), but, nevertheless, it is not bad. In the ranking of reading tablets, the device is in 4th place - you will find it at.

Flaws:

  1. The body is slippery, making it difficult to hold. He tries to fall out of his hands;
  2. There are rarely crashes from applications, which indicates a lack of firmware. This “glitch” will probably be fixed with the update;
  3. In the Russian Federation, the device can be sold with unofficial Russified firmware, which it is advisable to completely demolish and install the official one;
  4. In high performance mode, the tablet gets noticeably warm when playing games;
  5. Running applications in the background consume a lot of money random access memory, so it’s better to force them to close;
  6. There is no GPS and 3G, which is why this tablet cannot be considered full-fledged. Indeed, at the present time, when the Internet is available always and everywhere, this device cannot provide it, alas.

Considering the pros and cons of this gadget, we put it in 3rd place. Of course, the device is worthy, but some disadvantages leave an unpleasant aftertaste. The lack of 3G is perhaps the main one.

4th place – Lenovo TAB 2 A8-50LC (10,000-13,500 rubles)

It just so happens that Lenovo’s technology is the most popular among Chinese manufacturers and collects the most positive reviews, which is why its models predominate in this review. Don't take it as an advertisement.

Technically, the model is inferior to the previous tablet from Xiaomi (just compare the processor, the amount of RAM), but they cost the same. However, a big plus is the support for 3G and LTE standards, which will provide access to the Internet even in the city.

And now to the point: this model has a good and convenient 8-inch screen with HD resolution. A higher resolution is not needed at all, because... on such a diagonal there will be no noticeable difference between HD and FullHD. Some may think that 1 GB of RAM will not be enough, but this is a mistaken opinion. There is enough memory for literally all the necessary multimedia tasks: watch videos, surf the Internet, play light games. 16 GB of internal memory may not be enough, but you can insert a flash card.

The battery lasts for a whole day with active use. You can watch a lot of movies, surf the Internet, use a navigator, and still the battery will last all day! This does not indicate a good battery as much as it speaks of excellent optimization. Well, 4G LTE, of course, is a self-evident advantage. Movies in HD quality are available online. Well, the last thing is the speakers located on the front. Recently, many manufacturers have begun to do just that.

Flaws:

  1. Weak camera, which is standard for this price category. The pictures come out bad, but you can communicate on Skype.
  2. Performance. You shouldn't expect high performance from a weak processor and 1 GB of RAM. System brakes are not excluded.
  3. It can only be charged from the main “native” charger, so it’s better not to lose it.

The device gives the impression of being a long-liver. Everything is done at 5+, the performance and functionality here are far from the best, but the tablet itself is decent, and its 4th position in the rating is fully justified.

Video review:

5th place – Huawei MediaPad T1 10 (12,000 rubles)

One of the best Chinese tablets is also the Huawei MediaPad T1 10, which is available on the market for 12,000 rubles. Its characteristics are not impressive and are standard for this price category, but the device itself turned out to be very successful. It also took 2nd place in the TOP budget tablets. The rating is located.

Of course, for 12,000 rubles there are models with the best technical parameters. But this tablet also has some advantages. First of all, it is a beautiful design, good assembly and reliability. Despite the weak hardware, the device works quickly due to good system optimization. Therefore, it works quickly and without brakes. Of course, if you don’t run “heavy” applications. Plus, the gadget supports 4G LTE and works very accurately with GLONASS and GPS navigation. The device is ideal for watching movies, surfing the Internet and listening to music. And one more thing: at maximum loads, the gadget remains cold (or warm) and does not heat up much.

Initially, tablet computers from China operated exclusively under the Android operating system, and their firmware suffered from poor translation into Russian. Now you can buy a Chinese tablet based on Windows - a kind of analogue of a laptop. Android devices have also improved significantly. In today's article we will talk about the best tablet computers running one or another operating system. Buying such devices usually does not disappoint.

  • Display: 8.4 inches, IPS, 2560×1600 pixels
  • Weight: 310 g

Price: from 21,990 rub.

Huawei has long been a world-famous brand. However, this does not change the fact that it belongs to a Chinese company. Therefore, MediaPad M3 8.4 could not help but get into our top. In terms of its characteristics, it seriously outperforms almost all competitors considered in today’s selection. In this regard, we can safely say that this is the best tablet among those created by Chinese manufacturers. Just look at the screen resolution! There is no talk of any pixelation here. And here it is also present - still a rare phenomenon in the world of tablets.

The device sounds great - full-fledged ones are built in here. The navigation chip works without any problems - including being able to recognize signals from GLONASS satellites. The light sensor allows the system to automatically change the brightness of the screen backlight. Well, the number of wireless modules here is simply off the charts. It also has a very powerful processor built in, which is capable of running any modern games.

  • Display:
  • Weight: 328 g

Price: from 16,512 rub.

This is a very heavy tablet, equipped with a metal body and a capacious battery. What sets it apart from many competitors is the presence of a high-speed USB 3.1 Type-C socket. The device also has a large number of sensors built into it. But buyers are even more surprised by the presence of a 13-megapixel camera. Previously, such a camera was built only into smartphones.

Overall, the Xiaomi MiPad 3 does not have any serious flaws. It received a large amount of RAM and a powerful processor. In this regard, there are practically no brakes in the operation of the operating system. Nothing bad can be said about the screen - the pixel density reaches 324 PPI, which is an excellent result. Internet access is provided by the Wi-Fi 802.11ac module. But there is no space for a SIM card, which somewhat darkens the picturesque picture.

  • Weight: 562 g

Price: from 15,215 rub.

So far only the Chinese dare to produce such tablets. Only they are not afraid to install two operating systems on the device at once. You can choose one of them every time you turn on the “tablet”. Despite its relatively low cost, the tablet has quite reasonable characteristics. For example, under its body there are 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of permanent memory. These are adequate parameters; Windows does not complain at all about lack of memory. Everything is fine here with the LCD display - it has a high resolution, ideal for watching movies.

What’s important is that the device comes with a docking station in the form of a keyboard. Its weight is 545 g. As a result, when assembled, this device weighs almost exactly 1 kg. It is the keyboard that expands the capabilities of the device, as it contains some useful connectors.

Advantages

Flaws

  • Long charging - from three to four hours;
  • Heavy weight;
  • Memory chips are too slow.

Teclast X2 Pro

  • Operating system: Windows 10
  • CPU: Intel Core M 5Y10C, two cores, 800 MHz (overclocked to 2 GHz)
  • Display: 11.6 inches, IPS, 1920×1080 pixels
  • Weight: 915 g

Price: from 21,182 rub.

A very difficult and expensive decision. This is explained by the fact that this tablet is intended primarily for professionals. If you make money using a computer, then this device should suit you. And the price won't bother you. The tablet has an 11.6-inch screen - you can only carry such a device in your bag. Inside the “tablet” there is a capacious battery that tries to provide acceptable battery life. There are also 64 GB of storage and 4 GB of RAM inside. But much more important is the fact that the user has access to a slot for an SSD drive! It's a pity that this is not included in the package. But with it, a tablet computer would cost a fortune.

As expected, such a tablet supports working with a docking station in the form of a keyboard. However, this add-on is not included in the kit - it is offered to be purchased separately. You can connect a variety of peripherals to the device - for this there are two USB 3.0 connectors. The gadget also surprises with a powerful processor, which is usually used in laptops (but by default its frequency is reduced to the minimum value).

Advantages

  • Decent amount of memory;
  • There is a slot for installing an SSD drive;
  • Powerful processor;
  • Handles graphics processing well;
  • Five-megapixel cameras are good for video calls;
  • There are micro-HDMI and USB 3.0 connectors;
  • Good display.

Flaws

  • The price may seem high;
  • No docking station included;
  • Not the longest work under load;
  • Very large size and weight.

Onda OBook 20 Plus

  • Operating system: Windows 10 + Android 5.1
  • CPU: Intel Atom X5-Z8300, 4 cores, 1440 MHz
  • Display: 10.1 inches, IPS, 1920×1200 pixels
  • Weight: 575 g

Price: from 9,973 rub.

One of those tablets on which two operating systems are installed at once. The diagonal of the screen available here is 10 inches, which makes the device not too massive. The model in question comes complete with one that allows you to connect a variety of peripherals. Unfortunately, there are no full-size USBs here - in this regard, the device is noticeably simplified. There is also no keyboard included. But this had a positive effect on the price tag.

The device is powered by a 6000 mAh battery. When using Windows, this doesn't last very long. But the buyer should be pleased with the ability to display images on a monitor or TV - for this, a connection via micro-HDMI is used.

Advantages

  • Built-in powerful processor;
  • 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of permanent memory;
  • Two operating systems are installed at once;
  • There is a micro-HDMI connector;
  • The kit includes an OTG cable;
  • Low price;
  • The screen can be called very good.

Flaws

  • Supplied without keyboard;
  • Heavy weight;
  • No full-size USB ports.

FNF Ifive Mini 4

  • Operating system: Android 6.0
  • CPU: Rockchip RK3288, 4 cores, 1600 MHz
  • Display: 7.9 inches, IPS, 2048×1536 pixels
  • Weight: 340 g

Price: from 6,357 rub.

One of the cheapest tablets with such a high screen resolution. On this display you can watch movies and videos with great comfort. However, you need to understand that the low cost affected the remaining components. For example, only 2 GB of RAM are built in, which is not enough by today's standards. And the processor used is not the most powerful - its capabilities are barely enough to process images with such a resolution. It's surprising that the manufacturer did not skimp on installing a Wi-Fi 802.11ac module here - nothing bad can be said about its speed characteristics.

In general, it makes sense to buy the Chinese tablet FNF Ifive Mini 4S. For a very low price, you get a product whose pixelation on the screen you can only see under a magnifying glass. The only things that can confuse me are the lack of mobile Internet, the rather large weight and some other features of the device.

Advantages

  • Very low cost;
  • Excellent high resolution screen;
  • A relatively good rear camera is used;
  • There is a wireless Wi-Fi 802.11ac module.

Flaws

  • Decent weight;
  • No SIM card slot;
  • The amount of RAM is small;
  • Not the best processor.

Cube Mix Plus 2

  • Operating system: Windows 10
  • CPU: Intel Core M3-7Y30, 2 cores, 1610 MHz
  • Display: 10.6 inches, IPS, 1920×1080 pixels
  • Weight: 700 g

Price: from 28,191 rub.

The Cube brand is well known to people living in the Middle Kingdom. It produces high-quality Chinese tablets. Even professionals use some of them! For example, this can be said about Mix Plus 2. This is a heavy device on which an operating system from . The high cost of the device is due to the presence of a full-fledged 128 GB SSD drive. In the future, you can replace it with a larger capacity SSD.

You can connect various peripherals to the tablet. Micro-USB and USB Type-C connectors are used for this. The Chinese even included an OTG cable in the kit. Overall, the device turned out to be very good. Although some professionals will not have enough 4 GB of RAM. And the battery life here leaves much to be desired.

Advantages

  • Full Windows 10 is used;
  • There is a 128 GB SSD drive;
  • Advanced work with the stylus;
  • Good display that simultaneously recognizes up to 10 touches;
  • A powerful processor from Intel, commonly used in laptops.

Flaws

  • Not very long battery life;
  • No HDMI connector;
  • Stylus and keyboard not included;
  • High price.

Conclusion

A wide variety of tablets are produced in China. In this selection, we tried to mention those of them that collect mostly positive reviews on the global web. At the same time, we tried not to forget about Android devices or Windows tablets.

Gone are the days when Chinese technology was considered absolutely low-quality and unreliable. Today in China there are many high-quality IT corporations that have gained recognition in the global market and successfully compete with Japanese, Korean and American brands. The key to their success is a mass-produced, universal, relatively inexpensive product with competitive characteristics and acceptable reliability.
The rating of Chinese tablets of 2018 prepared by us will help you understand which is better and which gadget to choose in a particular situation, because for some the priority factor is performance, for others - price, for others - display quality... We tried to take into account all the nuances for your convenience.

A small company Ainol from the Chinese city of Shenzhen specializes in the production of budget tablets. In the form of Novo7 PRO, it presented an entry-level gadget, which is currently one of the cheapest on the world market. However, we are talking about quite acceptable technical characteristics - a 4-core Rockchip 3126 CPU with a frequency of up to 1.3 GHz, 512 MB RAM, 8 GB ROM drive with the ability to install microSD cards up to 32 GB inclusive. There is no SIM card slot, but there are Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS modules.

The screen is high quality, with wide viewing angles and an IPS matrix. Its diagonal was 7 inches, resolution - 1280x800 pixels. The rear and front cameras are identical; their matrices produce about 0.3 megapixels. The default operating system is Android 4.4. Buyers noted good build quality and stable operation under light loads, however, with the simultaneous operation of several “heavy” applications or prolonged use, a drop in performance and overheating may occur. We believe that the price compensates for this shortcoming.

Characteristics:

  1. Android 4.4;
  2. screen 7″, 1280×800, TFT IPS;
  3. rear camera 0.3 MP;

Despite the fact that formally the Ergo trademark belongs to the English concern Network Selects Ltd., production, packaging and assembly of all equipment takes place in China. Already in the name we are given a hint about the main priority of the brand: “Ergo” is an abbreviation for “ergonomics”, that is, the ease of use of the product, its simplicity and intuitive clarity. These features are fully inherent in the Tab A700 model.


The device's parameters are quite ordinary: a seven-inch 1280x600 display, a far from the most powerful dual-core MediaTek MT8312 processor at 1.3 GHz, 512 MB of RAM and 8 GB of built-in storage (+ up to 32 GB on the card). A pleasant surprise in comparison with competitors was the ability to work with a SIM card, as well as the rear camera matrix increased to 2 megapixels. The front camera is still the same – 0.3 MP. The manufacturer installs Android 4.4 on the Ergo Tab A700.

The headquarters and production facilities of NOMI (New Outstanding Mobile Ideas) are located in Hong Kong, and the target markets are South America, Asia and the CIS. Despite the fact that only 4 years have passed since the company was founded, it has achieved significant success in the production and sale of cheap and fairly durable mobile electronics. Nomi Corsa 3G was no exception. As the name suggests, it can work with SIM cards, which allows you to make calls, send and receive SMS messages, and open web pages.


This one is inexpensive, but good tablet features a stylish two-tone design (black-gray or white-gray). The device looks solid, stylish and expensive. A 7-inch IPS HD display is used for input/output of information; there are 2 MP and 0.3 MP cameras. The “heart” of the hardware is a 1.3 GHz MediaTek MT6580 processor, working with 1 GB of RAM memory. The internal storage capacity was 16 GB with the ability to install microSD drives up to 64 GB. The forums note the reliability and performance of the model, but there are complaints about the quality of the built-in speaker.

Cube Technology and Science Co. is one of the fastest growing Chinese corporations, whose main specialization is tablets, MP3/MP4 players and e-books. The iPlay 8 model belongs to the middle class of gadgets, is equipped with a quad-core MediaTek MT8163 CPU at 1.3 GHz, has 1 GB of RAM and 16 GB of permanent memory, and supports memory cards up to 128 GB.


The diagonal of the display was almost 8 inches, the resolution was 1024×768 pixels with an IPS matrix. CUBE iPlay 8 supports OTG technology, but, unfortunately, it cannot work on mobile networks. The cameras are standard, 2 and 0.3 megapixels. The stylish minimalist design, designed in white and silver tones, deserves special mention.

eSTAR is another “international” company, whose central offices are located in Australia and New Zealand, and all production facilities are concentrated in China. The Grand model is interesting, first of all, due to its low cost with a display diagonal of 10 inches. True, the resolution remained at the HD level (1280×800), which is not enough for this matrix size.


The hardware is quite standard for tablet PCs from the Middle Kingdom - MediaTek MT8321 with its 1.3 gigahertz, 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of ROM. You can install a SIM card and a memory card in the corresponding slots. The two-megapixel rear and 0.3-megapixel front cameras are suitable for communicating online, taking photos and videos in good lighting. The design, to put it mildly, is “not for everybody” - the screen frame seems absurdly large, which adds bulkiness to an already rather large device. But comfort and performance are noted in browsers, undemanding applications and games.

Equipment under the Teclast brand is produced in the Chinese metropolis of Guangzhou in factories equipped with innovative machines and mechanisms. The company's tablets are in demand due to the high initial quality of components and good assembly. The name of the X10 model indicates the diagonal of the display, while its resolution is 1920x1200. This means that the detail of the picture will be much higher than that of the gadgets discussed above.

The Teclast X10 has a 1.3 GHz MediaTek MT6582 processor, a Mali-T720 MP2 graphics accelerator, 1 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage. Slots for SIM and microSD are available. Good news for photography enthusiasts – the resolution of the main camera has been increased to 5 megapixels, and the front camera’s resolution has been increased to 2 megapixels.

The model opens a line of luxury tablets from Teclast. In many ways, it is similar to its “younger brother” Teclast X10, for example, it has an absolutely identical monitor module, the same cameras and the same set of wireless capabilities. However, in terms of performance and speed, the 98th model has gone far ahead - the role of the processor is now played by an 8-core MediaTek MT6753 at 1.3 GHz, RAM and ROM have doubled - to 2 and 32 GB, respectively.


Unlike its predecessors, the “ninety-eighth” comes with Android 6.0 OS – it has enough power. If you want to find out what is the best Chinese tablet in the price category up to 10 thousand rubles, we recommend choosing this gadget.

We believe that the Xiaomi brand needs no introduction. Its popularity among the population is already evidenced by the fact that even in small cities of the CIS countries, specialized stores are opening that sell only Xiaomi products. So what is MiPad 2? The similarity of its forms and characteristics with the cult series is striking Apple iPad mini, for example, has a non-standard screen resolution of 2048x1536 pixels with a diagonal of slightly more than 7 inches, and the absence of SIM and microSD slots. But there are a number of significant differences, not to mention the price.


The “heart” of the device is a very good Intel Atom x5-Z8500 CPU, which has two productive and two energy-efficient cores with frequencies of 2.24 and 1.44 GHz, respectively. The amount of RAM is fixed - 2 gigabytes, but the capacity of permanent storage varies between 16-64 GB depending on the modification. The excellent cameras with high-quality optics and matrices of 8 (rear) and 5 (front) megapixels deserve special mention.

We've reviewed 9 of the 10 best Chinese tablets of 2018, now it's time to take a closer look at the leader of the rating - the Cube iWork1X U116GT1 model. The gadget received a 12-inch FullHD display, characterized by wide viewing angles, high contrast and rich color rendition.

Many years ago, Apple blew up the market personal computers, releasing the first portable tablet iPad. Since then, production technology has come a long way. Today they are quite comparable in functionality to good laptops. They are widely used as portable devices for communicating over the Internet, watching videos and listening to music. It must be admitted that 70% of the computer market was occupied by manufacturers from Southeast Asia. Let's try to figure out how good the best models of Chinese tablets are.

Tablets are approaching the functionality of regular PCs

What is the tablet market?

In general, the tablet device market is very similar to other segments of the computer industry. It is firmly occupied by devices based on three types of software:

  • iOS (manufacturer – Apple);
  • Android (manufacturer – Google);
  • Windows (manufacturer: Microsoft).

Each of the above platforms has its own advantages over its competitors. But all of them, of course, are not without shortcomings.

The challenge for manufacturers is to skillfully balance between the “stuffing” of new tablet PCs and their rising cost. Apple is targeting the American and European markets. Every year a relatively small (2-3 pieces) number of gadgets of excellent quality are produced at very high prices. The popularity of tablets with Microsoft software is not so high. They occupy their niche, very rarely breaking into China - one or two models a year are made with Microsoft filling.

Andriod-based tablets are taking over the budget gadget market

In the tablet market produced by Chinese companies, Android software reigns supreme. In the case of tablet PCs, the ease of handling the gadget is often in the first place for users. Transformers with docking stations have become very popular - models the existence of which only yesterday users could only dream of. They have a large number of connectors, excellent screens, and in terms of performance they are comparable to quite decent laptops.

The difficulties of the Chinese choice

Those who have chosen to purchase a tablet model from one of the Chinese manufacturers are often stopped by one circumstance. Not all gadgets are equipped with Russified software. Some tablets have a hastily-made translation into Russian. Believe me, this drives the owner crazy much faster than the complete absence of his native language. Therefore, buyers are not averse to overpaying a certain amount, but purchasing a fully Russified version that will be convenient to use.

Those who bought a tablet from a Chinese manufacturer with an English translation will have to undergo Russification. You can do this yourself using root rights. free program morelocale_2.3.1_rus ( or many others like it). The same can be done without rooting the tablet. In fairness, it should be noted that tablets with the Android OS 4th, and less often - 5th series suffer from the lack of the Russian language. New tablets that have Android 6 or 7 almost always have a Russian version.

Forgetfulness in the matter of Russification adds worries to the tablet buyer

Like many others, tablets from Chinese manufacturers are divided into two standard classes:

  1. Budget.

Their cost rarely exceeds 10-12 thousand rubles. They are definitely not suitable for fans of heavy games, since their hardware has average performance, and their screens rarely reach the HD level (1280x720). But they are ideal for everyday use at work or study, Internet surfing and communication.

  1. Premium

The price of high-performance gadgets on the Russian market is from 12 thousand rubles. depending on the diagonal and internal filling. The buyer who has such a powerful tablet in his hands can afford long gaming sessions, using it as a constantly working GPS navigator and other “heavy” fun.

TOP 10 tablets from Chinese manufacturers,

So, let’s move on to the description of models that, in our opinion, deserve a place in the TOP rating of Chinese tablets of the current year, regardless of whether they are new products or have already managed to occupy their segment in marketing research. This is not a ranking from 10th to 1st, but an attempt to help buyers best choose which model to buy. Therefore, the tablets are arranged in random order. But with one caveat: this list begins with a Premium class model, and it ends with the same super gadget.

Lenovo TAB4 8 Plus

One of the best models of 2018 was released by the Chinese pocket electronics giant, Lenovo. The promotional price for it in Russia fluctuates around 17 thousand rubles. The tablet has a Full HD screen with a diagonal of 8 “. Those who use Chinese smartphones will respect the information about the hardware:

  • processor – Quaicomm Snapdragon 625;
  • graphics chip – Adreno 506;
  • OS – Android 7.0.

8-inch supernew from Lenovo

The remaining characteristics also correspond to the best Chinese smartphones. Suffice it to say that the manufacturer equipped its brainchild with a 4850 mAh battery, which is enough for 36-48 hours of active surfing. 4 GB of RAM and a 64 GB hard drive adequately complete the list of top characteristics of the TAB4 8 PLUS. The set of other services (color, sound, wireless services) is traditional for Lenovo smartphones. The obvious drawback of the gadget is its very mediocre cameras (8 and 5 megapixels).

Digma Plane 1525 3G

Due to its modest price (about 7,000 rubles), a ten-inch tablet from a Hong Kong manufacturer cannot boast of an outstanding processor. The engineers equipped the tablet with a quad-core “heart” MediaTek MT8321 with a frequency of 1.3 GHz. RAM – 2 GB, built-in – 16 GB. Android 7.0 Nougat, traditional for 2018 models, allows you to reduce power consumption to a minimum. An IPS display with a resolution of 1280x800 pixels allows you to watch HD movies and play most mid-range games.

Complete stuffing for modest money

The advantages of this inexpensive tablet include:

  • presence of a built-in GPS antenna;
  • excellent screen quality;
  • low cost;

Demanding users will immediately notice that for such a solid result in the price/quality ratio, the tablet really lacks 4G support. In this case, surfing could be done much faster.

Huawei Mediapad N3 8.0 16 Gb LTE

Huawei is the undisputed champion among all Chinese companies in the premium niche. But cheap tablet models also appear on the market quite often. This year it is Mediapad N3 8.0. The only thing the engineers saved on when assembling the tablet was the poor performance of both cameras. A stylish slim metal body with an 8" screen allows you to lithium polymer battery Enjoy the picture continuously for at least 10 hours. Considering the price, the tablet has a good performance Snapdragon 425 processor.

Inexpensive experiment from Huawei

There are a number of other characteristics that deserve to be considered among the indisputable “advantages” of this model:

  • small, despite the body material, weight (350 g);
  • excellent selection of component materials;
  • small (about 10,000 rubles) cost;
  • high processor performance;
  • IPS display quality.

CHUWI Hi10 Plus

Another “price heavyweight” of 2018 from the leader of the Chinese tablet PC market. It belongs to the “transformer” class, and according to user reviews, it is a leader in it. It differs from its counterparts in that it uses Windows 10 OS. Coupled with a metal body, excellent capacity (RAM - 4 GB, hard drive - 64 GB) and an outstanding battery (8400 mAh), the tablet looks simply gorgeous. The “dark horse” is the Intel Z 8300 processor with a clock frequency of 1.83 GHz. The weight of the tablet is only 700 grams.

Transformable giant Hi10 Plus

Of course, 2x2 MP cameras look like a fly in the ointment. Consider that they are simply not in this model. Except that the front camera can take selfies of average quality. It was this slot that became the victim in order not to raise the already prohibitively high price of the gadget (16,500 rubles). Considering that the processor in it has overclocking capabilities, the device is suitable for long-term operation. The only thing that is completely unclear is how it will behave in game mode.

Teclast Tbook 10S

The engineers who developed the tablet’s architecture did not waste time on trifles and equipped it with two operating systems – Windows and Android. As they say, who likes what. A fairly average battery capacity (6000 mAh), and not very powerful sound speakers - this is, perhaps, the entire list of shortcomings that can be found in this tablet.

Tbook 10S - dual-processor “unique”

The rest is all positives:

  • powerful Intel Atom Z8350 processor, large amount of RAM (4 GB) and built-in (64 GB) memory;
  • 10.1” screen with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels;
  • Intel HD Graphic graphics chip suitable for gaming mode;

Despite the poor sound quality, in terms of price/quality ratio, this gadget left far behind almost all competitors in its class. Price - 12,000 rubles.

CHUWI Hi13

And again a CHUWI product, this time the premium gadget Hi13. The revolutionary Microsoft Surface Book may even envy it: after all, with similar characteristics, the “Chinese” one is asking only 27,000 rubles, while the analogue costs more than three times as much. The 13.5” IPS display with a resolution of 3000x2000 pixels is the undisputed champion in quality in the “middleweight” tablet market. The quad-core Intel Celeron T3450 processor, it would seem, does not stand out in any way. Yes, among desktop PCs. But for a tablet this is quite enough.

Widescreen unique Hi13

The biggest drawback of the tablet is the lack of communication modules - GPS, 3G, 4G. The presence of Bluetooth, in this case, is very little consolation. What finally finishes off applicants for purchasing a tablet is the battery capacity – 10,000 mAh and excellent sound quality. In general, the gadget is very specific, a typical home computer. Not everyone wants to shell out almost 30 thousand without getting access to the Internet and the ability to navigate.

Dunobil ECO QC 3G

Quite an unexpected nomination, considering that this brand is very poorly known on the Russian market. But in vain! The tablet is worthy of a separate story. The seven-inch miracle is a cross between a large smartphone and a small laptop. About the same as Xiaomi Mi Max. A tablet with a Navitel license code can be used as a GPS navigator. The parts of the plastic case fit perfectly together. 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal memory are enough for long surfing on the Internet using the MediaTec MT 8321 processor. Modest, but tasteful.

Dunobil ECO QC – small but big

ECO QC can be used as a dual-card phone, has 3G, WiFi functions. Its main disadvantage as a tablet is its very weak battery (2000 mAh), and the absence of an oleophobic coating on the matrix screen. This is very annoying when turning the brightness to maximum mode. Considering the market price (about 8,000 rubles), this tablet is quite suitable for the role of a second smartphone.

Huawei MediaPad M2

Not the best representative of the Huawei line, but this tablet in terms of the sum of its qualities is much cooler than other Chinese analogues. Main "chips":

  • proprietary Hi Silicon 930 processor from Kirin;
  • IPS display with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, comparable in quality to the best AMOLED samples;
  • excellent battery with a capacity of 6000 mAh;
  • low weight of the device (490 g);
  • great sound.

Huawei's M2 is simple and efficient

In terms of autonomy, it is inferior to both the best iPad models and more powerful brothers produced by the famous Chinese company. In addition, traditionally budget models cannot boast of outstanding camera performance. But he has quite a lot of know-how. For example, vision protection mode. It allows you to automatically change screen parameters depending on the lighting in the room. The kit comes with a stylus, for working with which proprietary software is installed on the tablet. With its help it is very convenient to control the operation of the gadget.

VOYO Q101 4G

Perhaps one of the best tablets in the price category under 10,000 rubles. A ten-inch screen and the Android 7.0 operating system are not its most important trump cards. Despite its modest cost (9,000 rubles), the gadget has a whole range of modern characteristics:

  • eight-core MediaTek MT6753 processor;
  • RAM 3 GB, built-in memory – 64 GB with the possibility of expanding twice more;
  • IPS matrix with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels and a 5-touch touchscreen;
  • dual-band WiFi module;
  • ability to switch 2G/3G/4G.

VOYO Q101 – low cost, high value

The GPS module allows you to navigate the terrain using Russian system global positioning GLONASS. The most advanced wireless interface Bluetooth 4.0 allows for fast data exchange with other electronic devices. The only visible drawback of this beautiful, and at the same time, cheap tablet is its not very long battery life. Although, 5000 mAh “for the eyes” is enough for surfing for two days.

Huawei MediaPad M5

The absolute leader of the Chinese tablet computer market also emerged from the assembly line of the Huawei concern. By tradition, like its predecessors, the gadget has not taken a leading position in the price/quality ratio: the Chinese are not reducing prices for new tablets very quickly. But it has a lot of advantages:

  • display protection using 2.5D glass;
  • application of ClariVu display parameter adaptation technology;
  • proprietary eight-core Kirin HiSilicon 930 processor;
  • very spacious hard drive with a capacity of 128 GB;
  • ACM module for hardware improvement of color saturation on the display.

M5 – the champion tablet

The memory slot allows you to increase the volume up to 256 GB. This figure is comparable to any modern laptop. The tablet has excellent battery life. The hardware allows you to run very demanding software. Of course, any heaviest game will go with a bang on the M5. Looking for flaws in this ingenious device, users scoffed and noticed that the plastic buttons on it were not of the best quality. How much does this worsen the performance of a tablet priced at 28,000 rubles? – it’s up to its new owners to decide.

This is the general outline of the Chinese tablet PC market in 2018. Of course, not all models are listed in the review. But everyone, hopefully, will find a gadget that is ideal for work and leisure.

It's no secret that almost all tablet computers are now made in China. Developers from the Middle Kingdom do an excellent job with their goals and produce a huge number of devices, but how not to make the wrong choice and buy a low-quality tablet computer?

Note. When choosing one of the Chinese tablets, you need to clearly decide for what purpose the device is being purchased. For simple tasks, inexpensive devices with a small amount of RAM are suitable. If you need a tablet to perform complex tasks or launch new games, you should choose a device with the most powerful hardware and a large amount of RAM.
