The best tablet for everyday use
For things like social media, video chats and music, or whatever else you like to use your devices for during the day, around eight hours of battery life is ideal. 16GB of storage should be plenty for your photos and files, and a quad-core processor is a particular bonus if you’re keen to use multiple apps at once.

The best tablet for gaming
If you love gaming, you'll want a tablet that's large and in charge - powerful enough to keep up with you and big enough to show every detail. HD and 4K screens of at least 10” are fab for this, and at least 8GB RAM is a must. Headphone compatibility is also super important, for a fully immersive experience.

The best tablet for streaming
For all film and TV buffs, the most important element of a tablet is its screen size; anything of 9” or wider, with high resolution HD (for brighter and more in-depth visuals) is perfect. Front-facing speakers will help to achieve a more immersive sound, while at least 2GB RAM allows for uninterrupted streaming.

The best tablet for working and studying
Keeping connected is vital, especially when you’re away from home, so 4G-enabled devices are a must if you like to complete tasks on the go. Flexible 2-in-1 models can function as both standalone tablets and computers with keyboards, which is super handy if you prefer typing over touchscreens. Quad-core processors are also essential for smooth and frequent multi-tasking.

The best tablet for kids
Perfect for learning, playing and more, tablets are great for children and even better for parents (if you know, you know!). Designed with little ones in mind, kids’ tablets often come with pre-installed apps, additional safety features, parental controls and a protective case, all while being compact enough to fit in smaller hands.
