Review of the best according to the editorial board. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

Despite the fact that modern smartphones with their huge touch screens in recent years have pretty much pressed the tablet computers market (so as not to be confused with graphic tablets for designers, we will call them simply tablets), the latter remain tightly in their niche and are not going to disappear anywhere. And a separate sub-niche in this area is inexpensive tablets. Someone buys such a gadget for a child, reasonably fearing that it will be broken in the shortest possible time, and for someone, a budget tablet is enough for themselves. Today's rating review from is devoted to just such solutions – the most inexpensive, but comfortable tablets. Our experts have identified several nominations in which the most worthy budget solutions on the Russian market are presented.

The best tablets under 5000 rubles with the best screens

There is a whole list of important criteria when choosing a tablet, and one of the most important is screen characteristics. This includes its size, matrix type and resolution. Our experts were guided by the optimal combination of these criteria when choosing noteworthy options.

Prestigio Wize PMT3161C 3G

Rating: 4.8

The rating is opened by a rather powerful tablet with a large diagonal of the Prestigio brand. This is a slightly 'partisan' brand, since it belongs to the ASBIS holding, which is headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, and the holding itself belongs to our compatriot Sergei Kostevich. This is such a complex combination, which, nevertheless, is quite common for brands of household appliances and electronics well-known on the Russian market. And experience shows that such examples are often very effective. Prestigio is just one such example. The model is quite new, it was announced only last 2018.

Tablet screen size – 10.1 “, overall dimensions of the device – 242x172x10 mm, weight – 540 g. The body is made of plastic, only one color solution is offered – black. Design – classic.

Screen resolution – 1280×800 widescreen. Matrix type – IPS with characteristic maximum viewing angles of 178 degrees. The coating is glossy, the screen, of course, is touch-sensitive, capacitive with multitouch support.

For wireless communication, the tablet has 802.11n and Bluetooth generation 4.0 Wi-Fi modules. Also, the tablet can be used for GSM communication, like a 'big smartphone'. For this there is a separate radio module with a slot for a 3G-enabled SIM card.

The multimedia capabilities of the tablet of this model are literally basic – you cannot expect top cameras for such a price. There is a 2MP rear camera and a 0.3MP front camera. There are also good standard speakers, a microphone and an FM tuner.

You can also connect to the tablet via the micro-USB interface. The same connector is used for charging. Battery with a capacity of 5000 mAh. There is also a standard headset output.

The package bundle is extremely laconic – tablet, network adapter, USB cable, documentation.

Advantages

• high-quality image;
• a high resolution;
• large diagonal;
• strong body;
• capacious battery.

disadvantages

• quiet sound.

Prestigio Wize PMT3131C 3G

Rating: 4.7

Now, in the second position of the rating, we will consider a model that is almost completely identical to the previous one with microscopic differences, from the same manufacturer, but for inexplicable reasons is much cheaper. Most likely, it was the 'naked' marketing and novelty effect that worked here. This model came out corny earlier than the previous one.

So, the technical characteristics here can not be painted, but submitted in the 'blitz' mode, since most of them completely repeat the above-described tablet. Screen size – 10.1 “, resolution – 1280×800, matrix type – IPS, multitouch. Processor – MediaTek MT8321 with a frequency of 4 cores of 1.3 GHz. Memory – 1GB of operational and 8GB of built-in; expandable due to external flash drives for another 32GB. Communications: Wi-Fi 802.11n, Bluetooth 4.0, GSM (including 3G), micro-USB. Rear camera – 2MP, front – 0.3MP, speakers, FM tuner, 3.5 standard audio output mm. Battery capacity – 5000 mAh.

This tablet has a slight difference in size, and it is even lighter than the previous one – 470g. Importantly, it supports two SIM cards for GSM communication, while the one described above only supports one. And one more thing – the version Android here is older – 6.0.

Advantages

• high-quality assembly;
• soft-touch coating;
• responsive multitouch;
• capacious battery;
• rich colors and large viewing angles.

disadvantages

• for such a price, objective flaws are difficult to detect.

Digma Plane 8550S 4G

Rating: 4.6

The nomination for the rating of tablets up to 5000 rubles with the best screens is completed by the model of the Digma trademark, owned by Nippon Klick Corporation (Hong Kong). This is a good option for those who need a smaller tablet, but not at the expense of the screen resolution. This model was announced last 2018.

So, the most noticeable thing about this model is the smaller screen size. It is 8 “, while the resolution is the same as the two previous solutions – 1280×800. That is, it is easy to understand that the pixel density will be higher and the image, respectively, will be sharper. In combination with the IPS technology, all this gives an impeccable picture.

The electronics parameters of this model are similar to the previous two options, but not quite. If the memory configuration here is exactly the same – 1 and 8GB of RAM and built-in, respectively, then the processor is different – Spreadtrum SC9832. True, the key parameters of the processor are the same – 4 cores at up to 1.3 GHz each. External memory is also supported by a separate slot, the system 'sees' up to 32GB of external flash card.

The wireless configuration is exactly the same as the previous model, but with one powerful advantage. There are 802.11n and Bluetooth Generation 4.0 Wi-Fi wireless communication modules. There are also two slots for SIM cards GSM-communication with 3G support and, attention! – 4G LTG is something that the two previous tablets do not have. The operating system here is the newest of the three devices in this rating nomination – Android 8.1.

With regard to multimedia, the situation here is exactly the same as in the two previous tablets: the rear camera (with flash) is 2 megapixels, the front camera is 0.3 megapixels, speakers, a microphone. There is an accelerometer and automatic screen orientation.

The wired interfaces of this model are the same laconic as those of the two described above – a micro-USB connector and a standard 3.5 mm headset output.

The battery in this model has a smaller capacity than the other two, but not much – 4000 mAh, and against the background of smaller size and lower power consumption, this does not affect autonomy in any way.

Dimensions of the device – 208.4×123.6×10.6 mm, weight – 320 g. Made of durable plastic in a classic design.

Advantages

• a high resolution;
• high-quality image;
• good autonomy;
• fresh Android 8.1 Oreo;
• clean operating system without imposed software;
• two sim cards;
• 4G support.

disadvantages

• point assembly flaws;
• weak flash.

The best tablets under 5000 rubles with the best cameras

Now, in the rating of the best tablets under 5000 rubles according to the version, we are moving on to those models that buyers appreciate for cameras with good resolution. Tablets are very often used by users in order to capture the bright moments of life, and the large diagonal even allows you to immediately carry out simple photo editing, and instantly send the result to Instragram, Facebook or anywhere.

However, with such a budget – up to 5,000 rubles – one cannot count on a powerful camera, say 12-13 Megapixels, not to mention a double one. It is necessary that, in addition to the camera, everything else in the tablet is not a one-time inoperative misunderstanding. While maintaining this balance, aiming to fit into 5 thousand rubles, you can count on the main camera with a resolution of up to 5 megapixels. These are the two models that our experts have looked after for you.

Irbis TZ874

Rating: 4.7

The first in a pair of tablets of this nomination of the rating, we will consider the model of the Irbis trademark. This is a Russian brand owned by Treolan, which, in turn, is part of the LANIT group of companies – one of the largest players in the domestic IT market. This model was announced in 2017.

In many ways, this tablet is similar to the model from the previous Digma Plane 8550S group. Firstly, the screen diagonal is 8 “. Secondly, the resolution is not bad in this class – 1280×800 (matrix – IPS with good angles, glossy finish, multitouch). Thirdly – the type and power of the processor – 4-core Spreadtrum SC9832 with frequency up to 1.3GHz Fourthly – memory configuration: 1GB RAM, 8GB built-in, expansion slot for flash cards up to 32GB.

With communication, too, everything is the same – support for Wi-Fi 802.11n, Bluetooth 4.0. The tablet can be used as a mobile phone in the same way – there are two slots for SIM cards, 3G and LTE are supported. Importantly, this model also contains a GPS satellite navigation module with A-GPS 'cold start' support.

As for the nomination topic, the rear camera is 5MP with flash, the front camera is 2MP. The rest of the multimedia elements are built-in speakers and a microphone, a standard FM tuner. Who cares about the type of GPU, then the Mali-400 MP is installed here. As for the operating system, this tablet has the current 7.0 at the time of release Android.

The autonomy of the tablet is slightly lower than that of the previous model due to a slightly less capacious battery – 3800 mAh. Charges also from USB.

Tablet dimensions – 208x123x9.8 mm, weight – 340 g. Made of good plastic, standard design, classic.

Advantages

• a high resolution;
• high-quality image;
• relatively powerful cameras for this class of devices;
• support for 3G LTE;
• GPS navigation.

disadvantages

• assembly flaws.

Prestigio Wize PMT3618 4G

And again in our rating we return to the Prestigio brand. Consider one interesting, slightly controversial, but worthy model. Its ambiguity lies in the fact that immediately after the release, the tablet received a flurry of criticism for intrusive pre-installed software, which, moreover, behaved in an inappropriate way. In the future, the manufacturer 'corrected', and the reviews of recent years have already been mostly positive. Therefore, when buying, be strictly interested in this issue at the point of sale.

In terms of the screen, this model is no different from the previous one – the same 8 inches, the same 1280×800 resolution, the same IPS technology. The pixel density is 189 PPI.

The rest of the multimedia elements are similar – audio output, microphone, speakers, radio.

The electronics are based on the processor MediaTek MT8735 on 4 cores with a frequency of 1.1 GHz. That is, the processor is slightly weaker, but the built-in memory is twice as much – 16GB. The same amount of RAM – 1GB. You can expand the memory due to microSDXC by twice the resource than any of the above tablets – up to 64GB.

The wireless configuration is the same – Wi-Fi 802.11n, Bluetooth 4.0, two SIM cards for GSM communication with 3G and LTE support. There is a GPS satellite positioning module. Wired connection – micro-USB with charging capability.

The battery in this model is noticeably more capacious than the previous one – 4200 mAh. General dimensions of the tablet – 206×122.8×10 mm, net weight – 356 g. The case is plastic, the design is classic.

Some users dislike the 'ancient' Android version 6.0.

Advantages

• high-quality image;
• relatively powerful cameras;
• two sim cards;
• LTE support;
• GPS;
• autonomy.

disadvantages

• intrusive and sometimes harmful pre-installed software in the first releases.

The first in the most budgetary nomination we will consider another model of the domestic Irbis brand. This is the most compact tablet of all of these, the average price of which in well-known Russian online stores does not exceed 1,700 rubles.

Like all previous tablets, automatic screen orientation is supported here, there is an accelerometer, a wired connection via a micro-USB connector, and a standard 3.5 mm headset output.

The battery in this model is also the most modest in comparison with the others, but the size of the device naturally lowers the energy requirement. Capacity – 2500 mAh. You can charge from USB.
