Top 5 Android Tablets of 2015 – Which Is The Best Android For This Year In The UK

So you want to buy a decent tablet, but not an iPad? The only option left is Android tablets. The Android built tablets are quite nice and a good choice. Initially, when Android tablets hit the market, they were in a pretty bad state, but eventually the Company pulled its act together and now it’s a completely different scenario. If you compare their old devices to the ones they are producing now, you will be quite impressed. Android has certainly come a long way, and the proof is in their recently launched gadgets.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1: If you keep aside the fake stitching and Touchwiz factor, the device is a pretty decent choice. It also includes an S-Pen for all those who want it. The device is priced £450.

Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet: This is a well-built and a great looking tablet that runs on an Android operating system. This 10inch device is not heavy at all for carrying around. It’s quite thin, has a good storing capacity, great screen and the performance is also great. The tablet also has a good camera which is usually not the case with most tablets.

Tesco Hudl 2: The tablet is still recommended by many despite many complaints regarding cracked screens and charging problems. The tablet is a great deal as now it only costs under £100 from the original £129 price. Although the camera does not have high quality but does make up for this with its screen, a MicroSD slot and a decent processor. All these factors make this tablet a great choice for £99.

Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact: Sony was known for making big tablets but now they have launched a smaller looking one in comparison to their previous devices. This 8inch tablet is proving to be far more popular than the previous devices. The Xperia Z3 is super thin, waterproof and quite lightweight. Rival tablets like Galaxy Tab S offers far more superior gadgetry, but this gadget is not far behind. The Sony tablet costs £269, not a bad deal if I must say.

Amazon $100 Tablet For Kids Tempting Parents To Switch

When it comes to a tabloid, no company can beat the iPad, especially for the little ones. Apple has been quite successful in developing some of the most loved games and educational applications for children. The reason why parents lean towards the iPad is all the applications and games are quite age appropriate, and they have a huge selection in the App Store. To date, Amazon has a strategy to launch a tabloid that is far more affordable than the iPad, make its software children friendly and to top it off, they are concentrating on eliminating all those concerns parents have over its hardware damage.

But, as of today, along with a number of new, low priced Fire tabloids and the Fire TV being upgraded, the Amazon Company is more than happy to announce Fire tablet, kids edition, has now been upgraded. Not only that, the tabloid can be bought for under $100 which features a kid-proof case. Although the previous ones also had this case, but the new one has been updated to make it more durable.

For all those parents who might have one or two kids around the house, and they have now updated them to an iPad 2 – that could have a cracked bezel after a number of drops – from the all original iPad one that was all tucked inside a case, the idea that there can be an all kids-friendly tablet is quite intriguing and appealing. The idea of spending hundreds of dollars on a Fire tablet with the availability of the iPad in the market was simply quite not appealing in the past. The iPad has a way better selection of children’s applications in the market, and even with a few cracks in the screen, the tablet seems to work quite well. But now Amazon seems to have turned the tables around in their favor with the latest launch.

When Amazon launched its kids tablet the last year, there was a lot going on. Although they offered a number of features and a year long subscription, the tablets were over a hundred dollars and the people were not pleased with the idea of buying a Fire device that wasn’t quite durable enough. But this update they have made in their Fire Kids Edition makes parent want to buy junior this tablet. Though there are some minor changes to the tablet, but it looks more appealing with the new packaging and updated kids friendly version. And to top it off, now that Amazon has dropped the prices of their Kid’s Fire devices from above $100 to under, parents are now leaning towards purchasing this touchscreen computer for their little ones.

But the real kicker to this is they get an entire year of FreeTime Unlimited; this is the biggest factor to what is making parents buy an Amazon device. But all in all, it is a gadget value for money.
