Best Tablets in the UK

Want to really boost your social media following? Couldn’t be easier with the iPad Air. This tablet is equipped with the 12MP back/front cameras for top-tier selfies or impressive cityscapes. What’s more, the front camera comes with the Centre Stage tech for seamless video calls. You can also shoot your own videos in 4K directly from the tablet.

Great, but what about the storage? The iPad Air gives you up to 256GB for your work or entertainment. Store all your videos and photos from a long vacation – and not bother with the cloud services. Want to tweak them a bit before uploading to your account? This tablet supports the popular apps for photo/video editing, and many, many more, also including the gyroscope gaming feature.

As for the battery life, you’re looking at a 10-hour tablet for Wi-Fi web surfing or watching videos. With moderate use, it can last for several days on a single charge. All the more reasons to get this ultra-portable device for summer travels or lengthy business trips.

Overall, the iPad Air is exactly what it says on the tin: a premium-class tablet that can run pretty much anything you’d need.

Are you a TikToker – or online tutorial creator? This tablet will surprise you with the handy Auto Framing feature. Let the camera always focus on you and follow your every move via the automatic zoom-in. There is also an app for high-quality video calls available to you, and the 3 mics will reduce excessive noise, so you’ll be seen – and heard – from the very first try.

The battery in this tablet will last longer even if you’re binge-watching the final season of your favourite show. It would take around 13 hours for it to run low, which is simply impressive. Naturally, if you’re using the tablet from time to time and for less consuming tasks, you can go on for days until a recharge is due.

Are there any downsides to this tablet? Yes, if we count the overloaded user interface that’s rather gimmicky with the side toolbars and a bixby button. It’s not a deal breaker, but getting used to it will probably take some time.

Summing up, the Galaxy Tab S8+ is a solid choice for creative people or binge-viewers, giving you the boosted picture quality, extended battery life, and lots of fun features to try.

The body of this unit is ultra-slim (7.5 mm) and made of aluminium alloy. Weighing 490 g, it is a perfect fit for your handbag. What’s more, it doesn’t get damaged easily, which is a pro in anyone’s book. Forget the old and bulky models; the Lenovo Tab P11 Plus looks and feels like a modern smart device.

Need this for your kid to learn and play? The Google Kids Space that comes with the tablet has thousands of apps and games for your small one. What’s more, the hi-res 8MP camera makes learning from home as easy as a breeze. Keep in mind, though, that if you need a Google guest account for this unit, you will be in for quite a lengthy setup.

And finally, the battery; this tablet can run for up to 15 hours without recharging thanks to the 8nm process. Even if you’re watching HD videos, it will take hours to fully drain the battery. Sit back and watch your favourite shows without all the wires and connections. The tablet is also a great choice for summer vacations and long business travels.

In short, the Lenovo Tab P11 Plus lets you work or play right on the go with the powerful performance and lots of apps and features to try out.

The Fire tablet gives you access to thousands of apps on the Amazon’s Appstore. Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, BBC iPlayer – it’s all there for your enjoyment. Stream, chat, or share easily without switching to your TV or smartphone. The safe and free Amazon Kids service will keep your little one happy and occupied for hours. There are tons of checked kids’ titles for fun and learning.

The 32/64GB storage option is more than fine to keep your summer videos and party selfies on the tablet. And if you want to share your impressions first-hand, the video conference apps such as Zoom are ready for instalment. What’s more, you can connect Alexa to your tablet and use your favourite voice assistant. There are also accessibility options such as the font size, caption settings, and more. However, the frontal camera is only 2MP, which is somewhat of a let-down.

Is the battery life for this tablet any good? Yes, as it gives you up to 12 hours of runtime – or a few days if you use it sparingly. A perfect device for travelling or vacationing, when you wouldn’t need to recharge frequently.

All in all, the Fire HD 10 tablet is a versatile and reliable smart solution for you and the entire family.

This tablet, like so many others, has 2 cameras (main and frontal) for landscapes and selfies. The main camera is 8MP, which is quite nice for capturing the beautiful scenery on a vacation or a nature trip. The frontal camera, however, is only 2MP, so you’ll be better off snapping selfies with your smartphone.

If you want to binge-watch some shows – but don’t have the external speakers – the tablet is all ready to help. Coming with the dual speaker, it gives you good stereo separation, although the quality is just acceptable. For the top sound performance, use the handy 3.5 mm headphone jack, and you’ll be fine.

The 5,100 mAh battery will give you hours upon hours on a single charge. Don’t chain yourself to a charger and an outlet; this tablet can run for up to 9 hours while you’re playing games or watching videos. Move from your office to a coffee shop and back without carrying the charger on you. The Tab A7 Lite also does well as a reader alternative, saving your money and the handbag space.

In conclusion, this highly practical tablet covers most of your work/fun needs – and does it on the level.
