The 12 best 10-inch tablets of 2025

It is impossible to follow the development of the electronic gadgets market. Every year, manufacturers delight their fans with the latest models that are constantly improving in quality, reliability, performance and design. In such conditions, choosing a good tablet with a large screen becomes difficult, because the incredible variety is difficult to understand the first time around, especially if the buyer does not have much knowledge and experience in the field of gadgets. A review of the best 10-inch tablets of 2020 will help you understand the endless world of electronic devices, in which we tried to select all the most popular devices, while considering their pros and cons.

Best low-cost 10-inch tablets

Not everyone can afford a top-end tablet, since their cost is often too high for the bulk of buyers. Some users do not need such a device in principle, since they only need a gadget for reading books, watching movies or communicating in instant messengers. Fortunately, the ultra-budget category is represented quite widely, and among such devices it will not be difficult to find a simple reliable tablet. Of course, you will hardly be able to play heavy games, comfortably use powerful office programs or work in multitasking mode on them, however, using Viber, Telegram, the simplest text and graphic editors, reading books and watching movies will be easy and pleasant.

1. Prestigio Muze PMT3861D

For domestic buyers, Prestigio has practically become a synonym for inexpensive mobile devices. The Muze PMT3861D 4G is the most affordable model in the review. You can buy this device for only 87 $... It is perfect for schoolchildren and students who need a simple learning assistant, drivers as an alternative to a navigator, as well as grandmothers and other users with low needs.

Out of the box, the inexpensive 10-inch Prestigio tablet runs Android 8.1, which still has an impressive share of the market. However, something newer would hardly work as well here, since only 1 gigabyte of RAM is not always enough for Oreo. But there is provided not only Wi-Fi, but also a SIM card slot, thanks to which, using a tablet, users can connect to the Internet via 3G / LTE networks and make calls.

Advantages:

• high-quality display with good contrast;
• sensitive multitouch;
• case cover;
• affordable cost;
• support for 4G networks.

Disadvantages:

• cameras for a tick;
• only gigabytes of RAM.

2. Lenovo Tab M10 TB-X605L

There are not so many manufacturers on the market who are ready to produce good and high-quality 10-inch tablets for a reasonable price. And Lenovo is one of them. In the Russian market, her tablet Tab M10 TB-X605L will cost about 196 $... For this amount, you get a 10.1-inch display with a resolution of 1920 × 1200 pixels, perfect for watching videos, reading magazines and playing games.

The Tab M10 is offered in several modifications. Tablets containing the letter "L" in the name are equipped with a SIM card tray and support LTE networks. For TB-X605F, only Wi-Fi internet connection is available.

The hardware platform, consisting of a Snapdragon 405 processor and an Adreno 506 graphics chip, copes well with most of the tasks. However, some modern games will only work on low settings, and even then not always perfect. However, this is not a problem (considering the declared value). But the ability to connect the tablet to a docking station and a modern USB Type-C port of the 3.1 standard are significant advantages.

Advantages:

• weight is only 480 grams;
• high-quality assembly;
• light weight;
• a good supply of built-in and RAM;
• excellent speakers;
• USB-C connector.

Disadvantages:

• small battery capacity;
• sometimes slows down.

3. Lenovo Tab E10 TB-X104L

Without going far from the Chinese brand Lenovo, let's consider another of its models - Tab E10 in the TB-X104L modification. In other versions of this tablet, nothing changes significantly. First of all, you need to pay attention to the amount of memory and support for 4G, if you plan to use the device not only at home. There is an LTE module here.

Since we have a solution from a more affordable line, we cannot count on the presence of a USB-C port in it. But the battery remains similar to the model described above - 4850 mAh. With a more economical hardware platform and a lower screen resolution, this allows you to expect better tablet battery life.

Advantages:

• cool screen;
• stereo speakers;
• solid assembly;
• good autonomy;
• affordable price.

Disadvantages:

• mediocre cameras.

4. HUAWEI MediaPad T5 10

And we will complete the budget category with a device from Huawei. It offers a good and inexpensive 10 "MediaPad T5 tablet, equipped with a 10.1" Full HD screen and a tray for one nano SIM card. RAM and permanent memory in this model are installed 3 and 32 GB, respectively. If the latter is not enough for you, then it can be expanded with memory cards with a capacity of no more than 256 gigabytes.

The company chose the microUSB port as the connector for charging the built-in 5100 mAh battery. Alas, this is a significant disadvantage for the 2018 model. Also not happy with the complete charging for 1 Ampere, with which the tablet charges rather slowly. However, the Huawei tablet gets a lot of positive reviews in reviews. In particular, users praise the excellent build and solid metal body.

Advantages:

• fast work of the system;
• good stereo sound;
• metal body;
• productive processor;
• light weight of 460 grams;
• attractive design.

Disadvantages:

• outdated charging port;
• weak complete power supply unit.

The most popular segment of the modern tablet market is mid-range devices. Gadgets of this category in terms of price / quality ratio represent the golden mean, so buyers are eager to get accustomed to this kind of devices. They are clearly not deprived of functionality, their performance is at a height, and the screen can only be admired. Perhaps the main advantage of tablets at an average price is their rich assortment. While budget and top-end devices are usually available in very limited editions, the intermediate link between them is incredibly widespread. For the same price, you can find two completely different gadgets, each of which is suitable for one purpose or another.

1. HUAWEI MediaPad M5 Lite 10

One of the best 10-inch tablets for its price is offered by HUAWEI. In the MediaPad M5 Lite model, the same hardware platform is installed as in the solution described above - the proprietary Kirin 659 CPU with the Mali-T830 graphics accelerator. This is sufficient for most tasks, including some fast-paced games.

The Huawei tablet supports the M-Pen Lite stylus (purchased separately).

Both cameras of the device received a resolution of 8 MP. They are not suitable for serious tasks, but you can take pictures of documents / layouts or chat with them on Skype.

More than 3 years have passed since the presentation of the Galaxy Tab S2 from the South Korean giant Samsung, but this device is still in impressive demand among buyers. First of all, users are attracted by the excellent build quality of the tablet and smooth operation. And although the case is plastic, the Tab S2 doesn't feel cheap at all.

In addition to the excellent design, the Samsung tablet with a screen diagonal of 10 inches boasts a cool display. Of course, not everyone likes AMOLED screens, so it's up to you whether to buy S2. But if you have no problems with such displays, then the resolution of 2048 × 1536 pixels will definitely help you to work more comfortably with the device.

Xiaomi does not often please fans with new tablets. Its current model MiPad 4 Plus was presented back in August last year. However, it has everything that the average user with a budget of up to 280 $.
The tablet is available in black and gold colors. But the first in Russia is difficult to find, and it costs much more. The assembly of the device is the same regardless of the version - everything is perfectly fitted, and the metal case feels very reliable.
If we consider the characteristics of the MiPad 4 Plus, then we can confidently say that the combination of price and quality, the Xiaomi tablet is the best on the market. It has a Snapdragon 660 processor, Adreno 512 graphics and 4 GB of RAM, which are great for gaming.

4. Lenovo Tab P10 TB-X705L

And again we return to the Lenovo company. In fact, we have the same M10 model, but with several important changes. The hardware platform remains the same here, but the permanent memory has doubled. The amount of RAM has also increased - up to 4 gigabytes. Of the advantages, we also note the best cameras, and the main one with 8 MP even received a flash.

The charging port on the popular 10-inch tablet is also USB-C. But the battery, despite the weight reduced to 440 grams, has become more powerful - 7000 mAh. The Tab P10 TB-X705L can connect to the network via Wi-Fi and 3G / LTE networks. But, alas, you still cannot call here. Yes, for a tablet, this function is not the most necessary, but useful.

5.Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.5 SM-T595

Samsung offers many great devices at different price points. But the Galaxy Tab A 10.5 model is not too cheaper than the solution from the S-line described above, and its hardware platform is worse and the screen received a resolution of only 1920 × 1200 pixels. So why did we give first place to this particular tablet?

Galaxy Tab 10.5 is also available in a more affordable modification without an LTE module.

Firstly, it is corny newer. And if you need a fresher Android, then the SM-T595 should be the choice.Secondly, it uses a USB Type-C 3.1 port, and the capacity of the built-in battery in one of the best tablets in the rating is an impressive 7300 mAh. This is enough for 15 hours of continuous video viewing.

Advantages:

• sound - 4 speakers at once;
• system performance;
• good gaming capabilities;
• productive chip and RAM stock;
• battery life;

The best 10-inch premium tablets

Top-end gadgets are the dream of any buyer. Not everyone can afford such a pleasure, but those who dared to buy a premium tablet hardly regret their purchase. These devices have everything a modern user needs, and even more: rich, vibrant display colors, excellent resolution, top performance, quality cameras and excellent battery life. In addition, many additional features make interaction with the tablet even more enjoyable and fruitful, so such devices simply cannot fail to attract the attention of buyers.

1. HUAWEI MediaPad M5 10.8

Stylish metal tablet based on Kirin 960 and eight-core Mali-G71 graphics. This device uses a high-quality IPS-screen with a resolution of 2560 × 1600 pixels. It is bright enough and well calibrated, so it is suitable for playing games and watching videos. In this case, stereo speakers will also be an important plus. They sound very dignified, and sometimes users may lack only bass.

Unfortunately, the fashion of abandoning 3.5 mm connectors has not bypassed modern tablets, where such a decision is in no way justified. Therefore, in the popular 10-inch model of the MediaPad M5 tablet, you will have to use an adapter or Bluetooth headphones. The back cover of the device is made of metal. On it, in addition to various inscriptions and slots for the speakers, there is a good 13-megapixel camera without a flash.

Advantages:

• 7500 mAh battery and support for fast charging;
• assembly and body made of metal;
• good performance;
• camera with fast autofocus;
• high screen resolution;
• support for fast charging.

Disadvantages:

• rejection of the headphone jack;
• it is not very convenient to adjust the volume.

2.Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e 10.5 SM-T725

The review continues with one of the most powerful 10-inch tablets from the Samsung brand. The Galaxy Tab S5e uses a Snapdragon 670 processor to handle demanding apps and modern games. Dolby Atmos sound system perfectly conveys all explosions, chases and other dynamic moments in films, which allows you to do without headphones. And all this is complemented by an excellent Super AMOLED display.

The main camera of the tablet has a resolution of 13 MP. It does not shoot perfectly, but for most tasks, the capabilities of the sensor are enough. There are no complaints about autonomy either - a good optimization and a 7040 mAh battery guarantee about two days of operation under moderate load. Also in the reviews, buyers of the Tab S5e tablet praise its metal case for its excellent quality and small thickness (5.5 mm).

Advantages:

• hardware platform;

3. Apple iPad Pro 10.5

Who is worthy to lead the TOP of tablets, if not Apple? It is the Cupertinians who are not only leading in the sales of such devices by a huge margin, but they are almost the only ones showing market growth. This is because the American brand is second to none in terms of performance and quality. True, you will have to pay a rather impressive amount for this - about 728 $ depending on the store.

A perfectly calibrated 2224x1668 screen and Apple Pencil support make iPad 10.5 the best choice for creative people.

The speed and performance of the Apple tablet is impeccable. The only negative, albeit insignificant, concerns the amount of internal memory - 64 GB. Yes, competitors have no more. But on the other hand, you can install a memory card in them if the storage is not enough for the user. What Android manufacturers still don't have is equally great speakers. Of course, they are good in the new models from Samsung, but the iPad offers something beyond that you can enjoy both in movies and in music.

Advantages:

• impressive performance;
• display with excellent calibration;
• the cameras are simply chic, and the main one has optical stabilization;
• reliability and security;
• system performance;
• support for a branded stylus;
• great sound;

Disadvantages:

• cost, but it is justified.

How to choose a 10-inch tablet

The characteristics of the device must meet the requirements of the purchaser. Therefore, first of all, you need to pay attention to the following parameters:

• Display... With the diagonal, everything is clear, but the resolution can be different. If high pixel density is not important to you, you do not plan to read magazines, books or documents, then choose something simpler. This will reduce the charge consumption.
• Battery... But autonomy isn't just about resolution. In order not to have to constantly sit at the outlet, buy a device with a capacious battery.
• Performance... Will you play? Or video and chatting in messengers are enough for you? In the first case, you need a "powerful" filling. In the second, almost anything will do, and good performance will only allow the tablet to complete tasks faster, as well as add smoothness and stability to the work.
• 4G support... We tried to consider only those devices that have the option of installing a SIM card. This allows you to access the Internet from anywhere in the world where there is access to mobile networks, and sometimes even make calls. But if you don't need it, then almost any review model has a version without an LTE module.
• Cameras... Not the most important thing about a tablet. However, they can be useful for video communication, photos of project documentation, creating reports and even digital copies of classmates' notes. In this case, you need good quality.
  Case materials, design, thickness and weight - for a tablet this is more the wishes of the buyer, so you can choose the solution that attracts you more.

Which 10-inch tablet is better to buy

As you have already understood the choice of modern gadgets is incredibly large, after reading the rating of tablets with a 10-inch screen, you will definitely stop your choice on one of them. You have to choose even the best options, because each of them offers unique characteristics and parameters. You can decide which tablet is most suitable only based on your own requirements for the device, its role in life and, of course, the budget that is planned to be spent on it. Nevertheless, in each category there is a device that will appeal to a buyer with any financial capabilities.
