Top 5 best tablets for watching movies

5 Microsoft Surface Pro 5 i5 4Gb 128Gb

Here is a huge glossy screen for tablets with a diagonal of 12.3 inches and a resolution of 2736x1824. That is, 2K and 3K content you can see in the full format. And this is just the beginning! The gadget works 13.5 hours, is equipped with stereo speakers and pleases with a stylish metal case. An impressive amount of RAM in 4 GB and built-in 128 GB will allow you to store and view videos in high quality. A passive cooling system at the same time ensures complete absence of noise and heat during long sessions or games. The device has several features:

• The screen is not widescreen - there will be bands on the sides (in some films);
• High price. Almost 61,000 rubles greatly limits the range of customers, even with good parameters.
• Operating system on Windows. This aspect is a feature, not a disadvantage.

This is a smart tablet that will surely satisfy any movie lover with an excellent resolution, large diagonal and excellent autonomy.

4 Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 SM-T585

Samsung has once again demonstrated leadership in the battery market, providing its tablet with a good 7300 mAh battery, which is enough for 13 hours of work in active use mode. The installed processor “eats” an extremely small amount of charge, which, paired with a 10.1 display, has a favorable effect on power consumption. RAM has a capacity of 2 GB, which is enough for watching movies. The internal memory is only 16 GB, which is compensated by the support of SD-drives up to 128 GB.

The screen is 10.1 inches with a widescreen aspect ratio, a glossy finish and a resolution of 1920x1200. The tablet plays most popular video formats and is ideal for those who like to watch movies. Already become basic functions like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LTE, headphone output included. The bonus is a very thin frame and stylish design from Samsung for aesthetes.

3 Huawei MediaPad M3 Lite 10

High-quality Chinese tablet with a diagonal of 10 inches and on the operating system Android 7.0. Released in 2017 and managed to get into their hands a large audience, which notes in its reviews an excellent TFT IPS format with a resolution of 1920x1200 pixels.

Stereo sound, realized by four speakers, will also add to the pleasure of watching movies. There is a headphone jack 3.5 mm. The battery capacity is 6660 mAh, which, given the efficiency of a fairly productive processor, will sustain several films in a row. The built-in memory of 32 GB is easily supplemented by a memory card with a capacity of up to 128 GB. Bonus for fans of online viewing - Wi-Fi with support for high-speed 802.11ac protocol and support for 3G and LTE mobile communications.

2 Digma Plane 8566N 3G

Digma Plane 8566N is a salvation for those who can not afford to spend a large amount on a tablet, but it requires an inexpensive and high-quality solution for a long service life. In the arsenal of the device there is a 4-core processor with a frequency of 1.3 GHz, a slightly outdated 28 nm process technology, only 1 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal memory with support for card drives up to 128 GB. The screen is small - only 8 inches with a resolution of 1280x800 pixels.

You can make simple photos with the help of a simple rear camera with 2 MP and an even simpler 0.3 MP front camera. Thus, we have a budget device with technical characteristics that are not bad for its price segment.

1 Apple iPad (2018) 32Gb Wi-Fi

iPad 6th generation is considered the best representative of its class on the market, although it looks more faded than iPad Pro. The whole thing is in the concept of development and approach, since the product itself is aimed at the development of education and science and is suitable primarily for students and schoolchildren so as not to carry kilograms of textbooks with them. In our case, this is a 32 GB model, while there are models with 128 GB and a large amount of internal memory. A choice of 3 colors available - gray, silver and gold.

A good 8827 mAh battery provides the tablet with 10 hours of work. The package is still ascetic, there is only a power supply and a charging wire. With a screen diagonal of 9.7, it has a large resolution of 2048x1536 pixels, but it is rather old, although it supports the Apple Pencil. Basic software includes basic programs for training and content creation, but they do not play the role of full-fledged PC software products because of the reduced functionality. Allows you to engage in video editing in 4K, but it can not shoot as such.

How to choose a tablet for watching movies?

When choosing a tablet, it is important to maintain a balance between battery capacity and components. For example, a tablet with a diagonal of 8 inches with 2 cores with a frequency of 1.3 GHz with a good 5000 mAh battery will lose in performance to an analog with 9 inches, 4 cores and a frequency of 1.5 GHz with a 4000 mAh battery, but it will significantly benefit in terms of performance power supply. A few more tips for choosing a product:

• For more or less comfortable work, we recommend picking up tablets with a diagonal of at least 7 inches. They are suitable for those who do not care about the quality of the video. For demanding users, models from 10 inches are best suited.
• The 4: 3 aspect ratio was relevant 5-10 years ago, when the world was ruled by personal PCs. The best is 16: 9, which is as close to cinematic as possible.
• As for the matrix, then the best formats can be considered IPS Retina and Super Amoled.
• Operating system. This aspect is rather a matter of habit.
• And last, plastic or metal? Plastic models are easier, cheaper and their body is damaged faster. Plates made of metal is more expensive, but it is better to keep the impact and impact of external factors.
