WHEN? WHEN WILL ANDROID MANUFACTURERS GIVE US A DECENT COST EFFECTIVE TABLET?
#MWC2014 #AndroidTablets #Nexus72014
Good evening / very early morning, Synapse Circuit Readers! I hope all is well! And thank you so much for reading my articles! It does my heart good to know that you are enjoying them!
You are probably wondering what I mean with the above title, right? You’re thinking, “But the Google Nexus 7 2013 is great!” and... “Samsung Galaxy Note tablets are brilliant!” And of course you are right! But...
...EVERYTIME I READ NEWS OF NEW ANDROID TABLET I BECOME DISAPPOINTED...
...to learn the components. I ask myself, “How is it that budget Android tablet components always stays within a certain parameter?” And it seems that I am not the only tech writer / reviewer disappointed with most budget Android tablets as I occasionally read other reviews.
We’ve witnessed the budget Android handsets become powerful, inexpensive and very usable. The Moto G and the Nexus 5 are great examples of such power for a decent asking price. When will tablets see that leap forward? The Nexus 7 2013 is great, but why can’t other manufacturers follow? Why can’t other manufacturers up the ante? Now would be the time as the Nexus 7 has been out a while now and it is time to set a newer standard in the components. I pretty sure that the Nexus 7 2014 is going to be pretty amazing.

Yep! Above is your generic Android 7” tablet. Ok, some manufacturers try to get away with a dual core processor to be the cheapest but, like I keep saying, apps are getting larger and more demanding of the CPU & RAM! Other than that the generic 7” is kinda boring, right?
TABLETS MWC14
I am hoping that at this year’s MWC we’ll see a minimum of a 1.7GHz quad and 2GB RAM on level entry tablets! I also think the time has come for a HD display as standard.
That’s what I think is needed to draw more of the market away from the iPad / iPad mini. It can be done and it is happening already! A good friend of mine recently picked up a Lenovo 10” IdeaTab S6000 tablet for just under £200! Pretty good going!
But going back to the MWC14, I reckon there is no excuse for tablets running anything less than KitKat! I can’t wait to see what will be revealed! Would you believe that I have yet to purchase a tablet! Even my friend has got one before me! Lol! Good on her!
What do you reckon?
Take good care!
Thank you for watching and reading!
