    What TabletRadar is for

    Tablet spec sheets are written to sell. One maker quotes peak brightness, another typical; one counts virtual RAM, another doesn't; weight is listed for the Wi-Fi model on one page and the 5G model on the next. TabletRadar copies the numbers from each maker's own spec sheet into one layout, so an iPad, a Galaxy Tab and a budget Android tablet finally read the same way.

    • Two to five tablets, one table

      Pick tablets above and read every spec in one table, from screen size and chip to battery, cameras, pen support and weight.

    • Narrow the whole field

      The Tablet Finder filters every model by brand, operating system, screen size, cellular and pen support, so the list shrinks to the ones that fit.

    • Real RAM, not marketing RAM

      Many budget tablets advertise RAM that includes storage borrowed as "virtual" memory. We record the physical RAM only and note the advertised total.

    • From the maker, or blank

      Every value comes from the maker's spec sheet, support page or press release. When a maker doesn't publish something, we leave it empty instead of guessing.

    How to choose a tablet

    Six things to decide, in the order that rules out the most tablets first.

    1 of 6

    Pick the system first

    iPadOS, Android, Fire OS and Windows each come with their own apps and accessories. If you already own an iPhone or a Galaxy phone, a tablet from the same family shares apps, files and messages with it.

    • Fire tablets run Amazon's Appstore, not Google Play, unless the maker says otherwise.
    • Windows tablets like the Surface Pro run desktop software but need a keyboard to shine.

    2 of 6

    Choose a screen size you'll carry

    Around 8 inches fits a jacket pocket and one hand. 10 to 11 inches is the all-rounder. 12 inches and up suits drawing, split-screen work and films, but weighs 600 g or more.

    • OLED screens show deeper blacks; LCD screens are cheaper and often brighter in typical use.
    • A 90 or 120 Hz refresh rate makes scrolling and pen strokes feel smoother.

    Check the physical RAM

    4 GB handles video and browsing, 8 GB keeps several apps open, and 12 GB or more helps with heavy multitasking and games. Storage matters more on tablets without a microSD slot.

    • Ignore "up to 24 GB RAM" claims that add virtual RAM. Look for the physical figure.
    • A microSD slot is the cheapest way to add room for films and photos.

    Compare battery claims carefully

    Makers test battery life their own way, so treat hours as a rough guide. Capacity in mAh or watt-hours, plus charging speed, tells you more when you compare across brands.

    • Bigger screens and brighter panels drain faster at the same capacity.
    • Check whether a charger is in the box; many tablets ship with only a cable.

    5 of 6

    Decide on pen and keyboard

    If you'll write or draw, check whether a pen is supported, whether it's in the box, and how it charges. Keyboard covers turn a tablet into a laptop stand-in, but they connect in different ways.

    • A pen that attaches magnetically and charges on the tablet is easier to keep around.
    • Pogo-pin keyboards need no pairing or charging; Bluetooth ones work with any tablet.

    6 of 6

    Wi-Fi only or cellular

    Most people only need Wi-Fi and tether to a phone on the go. A 4G or 5G model costs more, weighs a little more and needs its own plan, but it's online anywhere.

    • Cellular models are often the only ones with built-in GPS.
    • Newer Wi-Fi standards help most when your router supports them too.

    How we compare: specs you can check, not scores you can't

    Sourced field by field

    Every spec comes from the manufacturer's own pages and datasheets, and we record where each value came from.

    Same yardstick for all

    Every tablet gets the same spec sheet, so an iPad, a Galaxy Tab and a rugged work tablet read row by row.

    Independent

    We earn from Amazon purchases, never from brands. Read the disclosure.

    Frequently asked questions

    Where do the specs come from?

    From each maker's own spec pages, support pages, developer documentation and press releases, plus Open Icecat for some Lenovo and Samsung data. We collected and analysed the specs; we don't test tablets ourselves.

    Why is a spec blank for some tablets?

    Because the maker doesn't publish it. Rather than fill the gap with an estimate, we leave it empty so you know it isn't confirmed.

    Why is the RAM lower than the box says?

    Many budget tablets advertise physical RAM plus storage used as extra memory, such as "20 GB RAM (4 GB + 16 GB extended)". We list the 4 GB of physical RAM, because that's what the tablet actually has.

    Which tablet weight do you show?

    The base model's, which is usually the Wi-Fi version without keyboard or case. Cellular versions are often a few grams heavier.

    How many tablets can I compare at once?

    Up to five. Add them with the comparison tool at the top of this page, or tick Compare on tablets in the Tablet Finder.
