Top Tablets 2023

The Onyx Boox Tab Ultra C ereader banks on its color screen, Android app support, and long battery life to offset its hefty price tag.

Does the Nook Tablet have what it takes to extinguish the Kindle Fire?

Though SIM support and included accessories can turn this into a good enough portable media device, the name alone causes the Blackview Tab 12 Pro to overpromise a Pro experience and ultimately underdeliver with sluggish performance.

The Microsoft Surface Pro X is a beautiful piece of hardware, but it’s Windows 10 app compatibility issues and price make it hard to swallow.

Microsoft’s modernized Surface tablet can’t overcome a rash of bugs and average battery life, though the integrated eSIM and cellular slot offer on-the-go connections.

The Alcatel Joy Tab offers LTE connectivity on T-Mobile or Metro and can handle basic tasks relatively well, but you can get better bang for your buck from a Wi-Fi-only model.

The P10 is ultimately a fairly budget tablet, with lightweight specs, old software, and a simple feature set, masked in part by slick-but-simple design that leaves it looking and feeling more premium than it really is. If it wasn’t for the included dock, this would be fairly unremarkable, so it’s really only worth buying if the idea of a tablet that doubles as an Echo Show really speaks to you.

The Lenovo Tab 2 A8 is an average 8-inch Android tablet that delivers solid battery life for a good price, but does little else to stand out from the competition.

The Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 will appeal to longtime Samsung fans, but it doesn't do enough to justify the premium over similarly equipped competitors.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 offers little in the form of innovation, but for a competitive price, you get a reliable mid-sized Android tablet.
