Huawei MediaPad T3 (8-inch)Weight: 350g | Dimensions: 211.1 x 124.7 x 8mm | OS: Android 7.0 | Screen size: 8-inches | Resolution: 800 x 1280
| CPU: Quad-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A53 | RAM: 2GB | Storage: 16GB | Battery: 4650mAh | Rear camera: 5MP | Front camera: 2MPAvailable
exclusively in Australia through Vodafone on contract, the 8-inch version of Huawei's MediaPad T3 is a nice option for those who want a
displaying video content like movies and TV shows with nice colours and sharp picture quality
MediaPad T3's display is its 178-degree viewing angle, allowing you to get practically side-on with the device without losing brightness or
majority of the time
Samsung Galaxy Tab SWeight: 467g | Dimensions: 247.3 x 177.3 x 6.6mm | OS: Android 4.4.2 | Screen size: 10.5-inches | Resolution: 2560 x
1600 | CPU: Quad-core 2.3GHz | RAM: 3GB | Storage: 16/32GB | Battery: 7900mAh | Rear camera: 8MP | Front camera: 2.1MPThe exterior design of
the Tab S is nothing to write home about but it's thin and it's light and that counts for a lot when it comes to tablets
It helps the frame get out of the way of the screen, which is the real winner here.Available in 8.4- and 10.5-inch variants, the Tab S range
packs in a 2.3GHz quad-core processor, 3GB of RAM, microSD slot, 8MP rear camera, 2.1MP front snapper and Android 4.4 KitKat.Both tablets
have fingerprint scanners for added security, but the plastic body may put a few off with Apple's slates sporting a more attractive
design.There's a new Tab series on the block, in the form of the Galaxy Tab S2, but the original S duo are still a great buy - especially
now they're a little bit cheaper.Read the full review: Samsung Galaxy Tab S5
Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet CompactWeight: 270g | Dimensions: 213.4 x 123.6 x 6.4mm | OS: Android 5 | Screen size: 8-inch | Resolution: 1200 x
1920 | CPU: Quad-core | RAM: 3GB | Storage:16GB | Battery: 4500mAh | Rear camera: 8.1MP | Front camera: 2.2MPWhen it comes to watching video
or playing games, the Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact excels with a decent slug of power and its eye-pleasing display.Add in the thin, light,
waterproof body and you have a great tablet for long trips and boring work commutes which can be happily slid into a bag without taking up
too much space or weighing you down.The components inside the Z3 Tablet Compact are getting on a bit now, and it doesn't have the slickness
of the 8-inch iPad mini 4 or Galaxy Tab S2 - but it's certainly still worth considering.Read the full review: Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact4
Sony Xperia Z4 TabletWeight: 389g | Dimensions: 167 x 254 x 6.1 mm | OS: Android 5.0 | Screen size: 10.1-inch | Resolution: 2560 x 1600 |
CPU: 2GHz Snapdragon 810 | RAM: 3GB | Storage: 32GB | Battery: 6,000mAh | Rear camera: 8.1MP | Front camera: 5.1MPSony's Xperia Z4 Tablet is
one of the best Android tablets on the market right now, ensuring the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 and iPad Air 2 get a real work out.We'd like to
see a 64GB option, but 32GB plus the inclusion of a microSD slot will suit most people, and while the cameras don't cover themselves in
glory they're more of a vanity feature on a tablet.The Xperia Z4 is a great tablet, and it's one of the genuine alternatives to the iPad
Android is still not the perfect ecosystem for tablets, but with a 2K display on the front and such a nice-looking design Sony has made
something rather lovely.Read the full review: Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet3
Samsung Galaxy Tab S2Weight: 256g/389g | Dimensions: 198.6 x 134.8 x 5.6mm/237.3 x 169 x 5.6mm | OS: Android 5.1 | Screen size:

Front camera: 2.1MPThere are plenty of reasons to invest in the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 - especially if you're after the best Android tablet
on the market.It's reading and web surfing-friendly, while the new 4:3 screen and general size and shape is better suited for most things
Videos work better on its predecessor thanks to elongated aspect ratio - but they don't exactly look bad here.You can pick the Tab S2 up in
8-inch and 9.7-inch variants, to challenge Apple's iPad and iPad Mini ranges, with the smaller option being more portable and cheaper.Almost
impossibly thin, pumped full of power and with a slicker version of Samsung's TouchWiz interface on board the Galaxy Tab S2 gives the iPad
Air 2 a real run for its money.Read the full review: Samsung Galaxy Tab S22
Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1Weight: 525g | Dimensions: 254.2 x 155.3 x 8.2 mm | OS: Android 6.0 | Screen size: 10.1-inch | Resolution: 1200 x
