Top 10 best tablets for a taxi

10 DIGMA CITI 7507 4G

Digma CITI 7507 4G made its way to the TOP due to its remarkable technical performance, but left a double impression in terms of power consumption. With 2 GB of RAM, it is equipped with a 32 GB internal memory module, which makes it possible to install a huge amount of various software. For a taxi worker is a big plus. The second advantage is the sharpness of the image - the seven-inch display has a resolution of 1280x800 and an excellent anti-glare effect, which is especially important when traveling in the city.

According to well-established standards, Digma CITI 7507 4G is equipped with a GPS module, a speed sensor, as well as support for the 3G and LTE network protocol. Its only drawback is related to the power supply: according to consumers, the tablet battery loses its condition too quickly and may stop accumulating the nominal charge during the warranty period. Of course, you can keep the tablet on a constant charge (in a taxi is not a problem), but it will inevitably suffer from its mobility.

9 PRESTIGIO GRACE PMT3101 4G

The Prestigio Grace PMT3101 4G, a ten-inch functional tablet equipped with a quad-core MediaTek MT8735 processor, is not the most expensive, but a well-deserved participant in the ranking. The combination of 16 GB of internal and 2 GB of RAM allows users to install the working software in full - just what is required for taxi drivers. The fact of having an accelerator with a GPS module, supplemented by support for all popular protocols on the Internet, is also important.

The simultaneous advantage and disadvantage of the Prestigio Grace PMT3101 4G is the presence of a ten-inch display - it is very intuitive, but makes it difficult to place the tablet in places convenient for viewing. In general, consumers made a pretty good impression of him - a very capacious battery (6000 mAh) and an optimal speed became an element of particular delight. Definitely, one of the best cheap models for working in a taxi, bringing to the salon a minimum of inconvenience.

8 HUAWEI MediaPad M5 8.4 64Gb LTE

One of the most harmonious tablets with a minimum of compromise. Users complain only about the lack of a 3.5 mm mini-jack, insufficiently large battery capacity. Otherwise, this is the best solution that justifies every ruble of its value. High performance is realized thanks to the Kirin 960 with eight cores and 4 GB of RAM.

For ease of use of the tablet as a navigator, the manufacturer suggested compact dimensions with an 8.4-inch diagonal, support for GPS, GLONASS and A-GPS, as well as 3G and LTE. Such technical equipment allows you to quickly catch satellites and, holding the card open, take orders in Yandex Taxi or Uber. Bonuses: USB Type-C input for charging, support for fast charging, metal body, high-quality stereo speakers with bass and melodic sound. But the main advantage of this model lies in a stable mobile communication, even where other smartphones lose their antennas.

7 Xiaomi MiPad 4 64Gb LTE

The tablet with a minimalist size, thin frames and powerful stuffing. The latter will satisfy even gamers, and taxi drivers and drivers will be delighted with the capabilities of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 working link and 4 GB of RAM. Android 8.1 is installed from the box here.

The most important thing for those who work in Yandex Taxi is here: this is GPS with A-GPS and 4G. Less important components of comfortable work are also present: a high-quality screen with large viewing angles, a powerful 6000 mAh battery, a robust metal case, an accelerometer with a gyroscope and a light sensor. The model would be worthy of the first place in the review of the best tablets for a taxi, if not for one “but”. The fact is that the device does not support 3G - that is, within the range of 4G communication works perfectly, and where 4G did not get, you will remain without mobile Internet and will not be able to accept orders from Yandex Taxi and similar aggregators.

6 HUAWEI MediaPad M3 Lite 8.0 32Gb LTE

8 inch tablet with Full HD resolution and IPS matrix. From the box, you will be met by the seventh Android, but in a review they write that with a strong desire to upgrade it is real.

The processor is optimal for the daily tasks of a taxi driver - to play a bit, to keep Yandex Taxi and other aggregators in the background, to cope with the navigator. For the latter task, the Chinese manufacturer has designed a GPS with support for the A-GPS function.

The battery is limited to 4800 mAh capacity, but due to the efficiency of the processor, the charge lasts a long time. The metal case, and in the reviews of this tablet they write about the strength, reliability and accuracy of the assembly. The model was released in 2017, and it is so relevant that it deserves to be in our ranking of the best tablets for a taxi.

5 Lenovo Tab 4 TB-7304i 16Gb

A good "tablet" from Lenovo, a bit outdated in terms of working profiles of the Internet network, but very militant in system characteristics and "stuffing."

It is equipped with all the features, so necessary for taxi drivers, right up to the improved GPS module (with support for the A-GPS protocol) and the proven Mali-T720 graphics processor.

The disadvantages of the Lenovo Tab 4 TB-7304i 16Gb is also enough. Another “dirty trick” with the device was played by the “jamming” of the filling on the software from Google, which is why the real memory volumes were severely cut down and given to the needs of the system.In principle, for taxi drivers it would not play a big role, if not the wildest friezes with the activation of several background programs at once. A terrible "brake", but a very good tablet in terms of display, weight ergonomic parameters and build quality.

4 Xiaomi MiPad 4 Plus 64Gb LTE

This is one of the best inexpensive tablets for taxis.

1 Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.5 SM-T595 32Gb
