The GSMArena tablet buyer's guide: June 2014

02 June 2014
It’s been a while since we published the last edition of our tablet buyer’s advice series. That’s mainly down to the lack of much movement in the market since March. But we’ve been keeping a close eye on all developments and we are now ready to present...

I'm interested in the new Samsung 8.4, but can someone explain what does it mean that the tablet comes with no DivX and AC3? I am sure that if it was a big issue Samsung would have put it on, or am I wrong?

      I wish for a 10 inch tablet with 720p screen, without cameras and without microphone, thin, light and with good specs (2GB RAM, 16GB storage and good CPU and GPU). And only Wi-Fi, in order to be cheap.
      Is there a tablet like this?

          MrPetya19, 03 Jun 2014The Asus Memo 10FHD has an lte version in Europe. It has a... moreTrue. It has specs similar to Sony Xperia Tablet Z LTE, but the chipset gets recognized by CPU-Z as Snapdragon 600. Unfortunately its much less known than its Intel WiFi only version.

            I find that Android tablet apps too limited. I am tempted to get Surface Pro 3 so that I can run all my existing desktop-class Windows app on tablet

                  The Asus Memo 10FHD has an lte version in Europe.
                  It has a Snapdragon S4 pro instead of the intel atom soc.

                    I don't care about Android tablets but you know, you are sounding a bit ignorant. Surface Pro tablets run circles around anything outside. Oh and have you seen how think the Surface Pro 3 is comparing to the previous versions? Keep living in your fantasy worlds while I live by the fact that the hybrid of a tablet/laptop Surface Pro 3 is miles ahead of the competition.

                          This article has no purpose to exist. The only tablets worth the money are the iPads. Android tablets are buggy and the apps are not optimised for them, and the Surface tablets...LOL!
                          500$ for an iPad is still cheaper that 100$ for a piece of junk you'll throw away after few days, maybe months, and absolutely cheaper than a brick heavy Surface tablet.
                          The only cheaper tablet is Samsung Note 10 which is given for free in many countries, be it together with a new SGS 5, a new cable TV contract, and so on.

                            Funny how MediaPad X1 is called Honor X1, a phablet, and sold for only around $300.

                              Where is Tegra note 7? This is second tablet list of this year, still both the lists have the nexus 7 but not Tegra Note 7? Heck, it only costs sub 200$ still no one mentions it..

                                I agree that tegra note 7 should have been there, insane tablet and power, sure the screen resolution is not the best but for gaming this is the best in its price, and its have a cool design too and good stereo speakers, even a small bass too and it costs like 200$ in the us.... crazy

                                  Nexus 7 and Ipad 2 feels like toys compared to my Surface 2.I don't know what apps you can't live without on your tablets? There is most certainly some app that can do the work you demand.
