Best 10 Inch Android Tablets

Here is a list of the best 10-inch Android tablet devices which we would recommend for their best specifications for the given prices in the market -

Motorola Xoom

Costly, heavy but delivers the features and experience for the price. This was the first tablet with the Android 3.0 Honeycomb operating system. It comes in with a 10.1-inch HD Widescreen display that would display the High Definition video content at the best quality. Beats the iPad, just like the other Android tablets with the Adobe Flash compatibility. It has the dual cameras, rear one with 5MP quality and the front one being 2MP good enough for video conferencing. Multitasking in this easy-to-use interface with the dual-core processor makes the tablet usage far better.

This is one tablet that is entirely for entertainment, web browsing etc. but doesn’t have a capability to make voice calls. Camera is the best advantage, making the tablet the first one with a 3D camera with 5-Megapixel quality. It comes with the 3.1 Honeycomb operating system and a 1GB RAM, having an internal storage of 32GB but you are limited to that and can’t expand it with an external memory slot.

Acer Iconia Tab A500

The Iconia Tab is a pretty slim and large tablet, with a 10.1-inch screen and the latest Android 3.0 Honeycomb OS packed in a dual-core NVIDIA Tegra2 processor. The device has a capacitive touchscreen and a 5-Megapixel camera and has the connectivity options including the 3G and Wi-Fi apart from the USB 2.0 connectivity. But the battery life is pretty less when compared to the other tablet devices, especially the iPad. The user interface is pretty classic and the camera too produces pictures of quality decent enough.

Viewsonic ViewPad 10s

This is a basic but still a quite strong competition in the series of 10-inch tablet devices having the Android OS. One of the downgrade features that would make people not opt to buy it is the Android 2.2 Froyo OS when compared to the other tablets having the latest 3.0 version. But it is a tablet that would support both the Android and the Windows OS, so the users can switch between the both. The internal specifications are pretty basic, and the camera too. But this can be used by those who wanted to have a touch on the Android tablets and don’t have a real need of something specific.
