Best Tablets for Gaming

The inexpensive Honor Pad X9 128 GB tablet provides sufficient performance for home family use, children's entertainment and non-professional gaming. The built-in 4 GB of RAM can be expanded by virtualization up to 7 GB for stable operation with resource-intensive applications. The IPS screen with a diagonal of 11.5 "guarantees a full overview in dynamic games, strategies and minimizes the harmful effect on the eyes. It has received Low Blue Light and Flicker Free certification from TÜV Rheinland. The frequency is increased to 120 Hz for smooth data display. It is worth noting the good ergonomics due to the small thickness of 6.9 mm and weight of 495 g, despite the use of metal for the case. The tablet can withstand children's carelessness and trips in a backpack. The lack of fast charging can be a problem on long trips.

Honor Pad X9 128 GB offers many additional features. A stereo system of 6 speakers creates a surround sound with various effects. The tablet is convenient to use for online learning thanks to the Vocal Enhancement algorithm, which highlights, processes and amplifies vocals. Special attention should be paid to the proprietary MagicOS 7.1 shell, which implements interesting smart functions. For example, Multi-Window allows you to display several programs on the display at once. And if you have an Honor smartphone, you can synchronize work and use the tablet as an additional screen. There is also a circadian night mode for better eye adaptation and an e-book reading function.

The Blackview Mega 1 tablet has good gaming potential and proprietary features to expand the scope of use. Efficient execution of most tasks is guaranteed by the confident mid-range Helio G99 processor, which is assisted by as much as 12 GB of RAM. The tablet is capable of holding several open processes in memory and quickly switching between them. For the most demanding users, you can get an additional 12 GB through virtualization. For gaming, there is a HyperEngine 2.0 Lite mode, which distributes resources to eliminate lags. The display refresh rate of 120 Hz guarantees the accuracy of moving objects, eliminating blind spots during dynamic entertainment.

The main 50 MP camera from Samsung deserves special attention. Thanks to the new ArcSoft 9.0 processing algorithm based on artificial intelligence, high quality of photos and videos is guaranteed in any lighting and selected scenario. The maximum supported format is 2K, which indicates good detail. 256 GB of memory is provided for storing personal data, installing software and games, which is very good for a budget gadget. Support for SIM cards provides constant access to the Internet using the LTE 4G standard, as well as navigation systems for safe travel in unfamiliar places.

The proprietary DokeOS_P 4.0 shell supports efficient system operation through constant monitoring and optimization. The user can use one of many modes depending on the tasks at hand. PC Mode 2.0 imitates the popular Windows window OS, and Split-Screen allows you to split the screen to perform two processes simultaneously. The included stylus will help you realize your creative potential and improve your learning efficiency by quickly creating notes. As a snack, we can note the support for fast charging.

The Lenovo Tab Plus tablet is equally well suited for work, study and gaming. The familiar IPS screen stands out with a comfortable refresh rate of 90 Hz for any use scenarios (reading books, viewing media, playing games) and is safe for eyesight (TÜV Rheinland certification). The audio system is represented by eight speakers from JBL (4 tweeters + 4 woofers) with Dolby Atmos support, which create harmony of high and low frequencies. The sound is rich, voluminous and omnidirectional, so the tablet can be used as an external speaker when the corresponding mode is activated. It is worth noting the convenient built-in stand. Considering the large dimensions (thickness 13.58 mm) and weight (650 g), it will really be useful. An unexpected solution is the lack of a flash, which excludes filming after sunset.

Lenovo Tab Plus offers safe entertainment for children in the Google Kids Space service, and for complete control, you can use the Family Link parental tool. The combination of the Helio G99 processor and 8 GB of RAM provides smooth gaming with good detail of the virtual world. The tablet runs on the new Android 14 OS. The system intelligently distributes resources and energy supply, providing up to 12 hours of battery life on a single charge. Fast charging will allow you to stay online without interruptions.

In the mid-price league of tablets, the Xiaomi Pad 6 looks like a tasty morsel of pie. This is a device balanced in all planes for performing a wide variety of tasks, including confidently playing modern games.

The tablet has an IPS screen with an 11-inch diagonal size and a high resolution of 2880x1800 pixels. Its refresh rate can be set at 30/48/50/60/90/120/144 Hz. The display will also please with high brightness (up to 550 nits) and support for extended dynamic range in HDR10 and Dolby Vision formats.

The Xiaomi Pad 6 has serious hardware — a powerful Snapdragon 870 processor from Qualcomm, supported by 8 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and an internal 128 GB storage(without an expansion slot). Conditional battle scenes in the popular game Genshin Impact run at 50 fps at maximum graphics settings, and outside of battles, the frame rate is stable at around 60 fps.

The model has stereo sound with Dolby Atmos surround sound, and it also includes a gyroscope. The tablet's battery life is taken care of by an 8840 mAh battery with a 33 W fast wired charging function. The device is charged to almost 40% in half an hour from the included adapter, and the entire charging procedure takes about 90 minutes. In the end, Xiaomi Pad 6 offers an excellent screen, powerful "stuffing" and high-quality sound - just right for comfortable video viewing and gaming.

The Apple iPad 2022 64 GB tablet offers a recognizable "apple" design in a stylish compact case. It is made of metal, but weighs only 477 g, so it does not strain your hands during active use on the go. The proprietary Liquid Retina screen with a resolution of 2360x1640 pixels provides rich colors and realistic content transmission, and 500 nits brightness with True Tone technology is enough for comfortable viewing in any external lighting. It is worth noting that the display frequency of 60 Hz may not be enough for the most dynamic games, such as racing simulators. Wi-Fi 6 guarantees high speed and reliability of wireless connection to compatible network equipment.

The Apple iPad 2022 offers quite powerful technical equipment. The proprietary A14 Bionic processor will cope with gaming and does not limit the creative potential of designers and artists. It is worth noting the compatibility with the Apple Pencil (Gen1) stylus, which will significantly expand the use cases of the gadget. 64 GB of internal memory is also difficult to call the norm for a modern tablet. In terms of security, the model is in perfect order thanks to the fingerprint scanner built into the power button.

The tablet is equipped with a seemingly simple 12 MP camera, but it can shoot 4K video and supports Slow-mo mode. The f/1.8 aperture is sufficient for working in low light conditions. The sensor has a stabilization system, autofocus, and 5x digital zoom. The extended dynamic range HDR improves color rendition during shooting.

Samsung is the firm leader in the Android tablet category. Its Galaxy Tab S family is rightly the benchmark for almost all other players in this arena.

The base model in the ninth edition of the line is the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 tablet. It is assembled in a thin aluminum case with a thickness of only 5.9 mm and armed with a high-class Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen with diagonal dimensions of exactly 11 inches. The gadget's display broadcasts a picture in high resolution of 2560x1600 pixels, supports HDR10+ and has a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz. A fingerprint scanner for unlocking the device using a fingerprint was built into the sub-screen layer of the tablet.

In terms of hardware, we are presented with one of the most powerful tablets of our time. It is powered by the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile processor, and the initial configuration of the model provides 8/128 GB of memory. The device has no problems with either resource-intensive applications or games. Thus, Genshin Impact and Diablo Immortal run on it with maximum graphics settings and without the slightest lag during prolonged gameplay. For work, the tablet provides support for the Samsung DeX desktop environment.

Four speakers from AKG are scattered around the perimeter of the device's body. In addition, the model is equipped with a proprietary S Pen for drawing and comfortable graphics processing. The Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth v 5.3 wireless modules are responsible for the tablet's communications, and its power is provided by an 8400 mAh battery with a 45-watt wired charging function. The cherry on the cake in the design of the device is reliable dust and moisture protection of the case according to the strict requirements of the IP68 standard.
