A Korean tech giant could throw the white flag years ago and focus on a Chromebook. Instead, Samsung continues to put pressure on the iPad, updating the flagship Galaxy Tab line with exciting new features.

The novelty in the top tablets of 2019 differs not only in the large screen size, but also in the latest version of Android, high performance, powerful speakers and excellent cameras.

The 7040 mAh battery allows you to watch videos on your tablet almost all day. So you get tired faster than him.

Although the Galaxy Tab S6 is not a cardinal difference from the Tab S4, Samsung has made some improvements to the new model. Most notable is the shallow recess in the back, where the S Pen magnetic pen is attached, suitable for taking notes and recordings in various programs. A thin groove charges the stylus and holds it in place when not in use, much like the Apple Pencil attaches to the top edge of the iPad Pro.

A feature of the S Pen is Air action, a feature first introduced in the Galaxy Note series. With it, you can perform certain actions by moving the S Pen through the air. For example, you can increase the volume of a video on YouTube.

An interesting feature of the model is the 13/5 MP dual main camera. She takes such good pictures that she can argue with the cameras of many inexpensive and good smartphones.

pros: clean, loud sound, top performance, you can connect a removable keyboard.

Minuses: high price, BookCover wireless keyboard will have to be purchased separately.

2. Microsoft Surface Pro 6 i5 8Gb 128Gb

• 8MP rear camera
• 5MP front camera
• working time (video) 13.5 h
• accelerometer gyroscope

If you want to use your tablet for any complex work - editing 4K video or playing the best mobile games, then Microsoft Surface Pro 6 is the best, albeit not cheap, option.

This, in fact, is a “two in one” device - a tablet and a laptop under one cover. It features a very bright (408 nits) and high contrast screen with excellent color reproduction. And the two front speakers on the Surface Pro 6 provide perfectly loud and clear sound. All this offers a great experience when watching movies or videos on YouTube.

Compared with the previous version of Surface Pro, the sixth version has significantly improved performance thanks to the quad-core processor of the 8th generation Core i5-8250U and 8 GB of RAM. Even with 20-30 tabs open in the browser, Surface Pro 6 showed smooth operation.

Call it stubbornness or just wanting to stick to your proprietary dock connector, but for some reason Microsoft refused to use USB-C on the Surface Pro 6. This means that you cannot use USB-C to charge or connect the growing an array of peripherals with USB-C.

pros: there is face recognition, top-end performance, you can connect a bluetooth keyboard and use the Surface Pen stylus.

Minuses: high price, keyboard and stylus are not included, pressing the touchpad is quite loud.

• 13MP rear camera
• 5MP front camera
• accelerometer gyroscope

The rating of tablets 2019 is headed by a model from a Chinese company, which, perhaps, is not engaged only in the production of spacecraft (and that is not a fact). Mi Pad 4 has few real competitors, since the market for modern, well-equipped, compact, and less than 30 thousand rubles Android tablets is small.

Xiaomi MiPad 4 has an all-metal body (with the exception of a thin plastic frame around the screen), a built-in 4G and a fingerprint scanner.

This model is equipped with an octa-core mid-range processor Snapdragon 660. So you can easily play mobile games demanding hardware with a high frame rate.

pros: superior performance, user-friendly and beautiful interface, attractive design.

Minuses: no active stylus support, no global firmware yet, only Chinese Russified, no fast charging, mediocre camera quality.

Top tablets for kids

3. MonsterPad Zebra / Leopard

The average price is 3 990 rubles.
Specifications:

• tablet for children 7 ″, 1024 × 600, TFT IPS
• built-in memory 8 GB, microSDHC slot, up to 32 GB
• Android 7.1, 1 GB RAM, RockChip RK3126 1200 MHz processor
• Wi-Fi, Bluetooth
• dimensions 126x197x10 mm, weight 290 g
• 2MP rear camera
• front camera 0.3 megapixels
• working time 4 hours
• accelerometer

If you are thinking about which tablet for a child is better to buy in 2019, then one of the best options is an inexpensive and attractive design tablet from MonsterPad.

Its feature is the presence of pre-installed children's software, such as educational games and tutorials.

Parental control in MonsterPad is implemented as a child launcher. If you run it once, it will load when the tablet starts, and you can enter Android only with the account version of the parent and with the password. Also, using parental control, you can divide programs into groups and set a schedule for starting a program depending on the group.

In the settings there is a predefined list of sites prohibited for children, it can be edited manually.

You should not expect performance from MonsterPad, given the weak hardware and the small amount of RAM / ROM. And applications open, to put it mildly, leisurely.

pros: interesting design, bright screen, good sound, thoughtful parental control.

Minuses: Heats up at work, the battery runs out in three hours, if you watch videos on Wi-Fi, it does not differ in any special shock resistance, despite the presence of rubber thickenings at the corners. And if you drop it on the floor, it will crash just like a regular tablet.

2. TurboKids 3G NEW

The average price is 3 990 rubles.
Specifications:

• tablet for children 7 ″, 1024 × 600, TFT IPS
• built-in memory 8 GB, microSDHC slot, up to 32 GB
• Android 7.0, 1 GB RAM, MediaTek MT8321 1300 MHz processor
• Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G, GPS
• dimensions 108 × 188.4 × 10 mm, weight 290 g
• work in cell phone mode
• 2MP rear camera
• front camera 0.3 megapixels
• working time (video) 3 h
• accelerometer

According to its characteristics, it is an almost complete clone of the previous model under consideration - MonsterPad Zebra / Leopard. It also has pre-installed educational applications, thoughtful flexible settings for parental control, identical cameras and "filling".

But there is an important difference - the availability of 3G and the ability to work in smartphone mode. TurboKids 3G NEW supports the installation of two SIM cards, although it is not entirely clear why. A child is unlikely to need more than one.

pros: children's interface, bright screen, good sound, despite the mono speaker.

Minuses: Mediocre performance, little free memory, so you have to buy a memory card.

1. HUAWEI MediaPad M5 Lite 10 32Gb WiFi

The average price is 17,990 rubles.
Specifications:

• tablet 10.1 ″, 1920 × 1200, TFT IPS

• Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS

Indeed, thanks to the battery capacity of 7500 mAh MediaPad M5 Lite has an impressive battery life - 13 hours of video playback. And that’s impressive, considering that it has a clear and bright 10.1-inch display.

If you combine this with the included stylus provided by Huawei, your child will be able to fully express their creativity. For example, draw in the applications of the "Children's Corner".

The uniqueness of the MediaPad M5 Lite lies in the fact that you can register your child’s fingerprint to automatically open the tablet in Huawei’s Baby Corner mode. It has apps for kids with a customizable environment. Therefore, you do not need to always set up parental controls for your son or daughter.The disadvantage is that you are limited to one child profile.

pros: bright, colorful high-resolution screen, children's mode, integrated with fingerprint input, a stylus is included.

Minuses: few children's entertainment, high price.
