    Best Android Tablets of 2023

    Tablets from Lenovo, Samsung, and other brands can rival iPads in performance (and price), but you have less expensive options, too

    If you use an Android phone, pairing it with an Android tablet can simplify syncing apps and files between the two—most Android tablets are also generally more flexible than iPads.

    A lot of people just think “iPad” when they’re shopping for a new tablet, but there are plenty of reasons to also consider an Android model from companies such as Lenovo and Samsung. You’ll get more options when it comes to price and features, and there are advantages if you have an Android phone: When your tablet uses the same operating system as your smartphone, it’s easier to sync apps and files.

    More on Tablets

    Scan our full tablet ratings (available to CR members) and you’ll find top-rated, high-performance devices that rival the best iPads in display quality—and price. But you can also find barebones tablets like the Amazon Fire 7, which sells for around $60. (Amazon Fire tablets use a customized version of Android and a somewhat limited app store, but they provide access to lots of kid-friendly content and robust parental controls.)

    All the tablets in our ratings are graded on almost 240 data points, covering everything from the device’s predicted reliability to its performance and the quality of the display.

    Best Android Tablets for Battery Life

    The Amazon Fire HD10 Plus runs 15.9 hours on a charge in CR’s video playback test, and 16.5 hours in our web-browsing test. Your mileage will vary depending on how you actually use the tablet, but basically this device will easily let you catch up on the news and get through your inbox at the local coffee shop, and still have time to watch a few episodes of your favorite show at home without having to reach for the charger. This device also delivers on value. You can find it for well under $200, which isn’t a lot for a 10-inch tablet with decent performance and a fairly good display.
