In recent times there have been very interesting developments in the field of 4G tablets, especially for those looking for more affordable options or for those who prefer Windows tablets, two categories in which until now it was somewhat more difficult to find good options with mobile connection. We review the Options most outstanding, of all Prices.
Of course, before you start to review the best 4G tablets that we can buy (we start with the most expensive options and we are gradually decreasing in price), we have to advise you to think carefully if you really need a tablet with a mobile connection, taking into account that it will involve an extra expense and that there are many alternatives.
The best 4-inch 10G tablets
If we have no budget limit, the best 10-inch tablets of course they have versions with an LTE connection and we are really going to be able to enjoy a very advanced user experience in exchange for our extra investment.
iPad Pro 10.5
The star tablet of Apple It is the most expensive of all since, even for the 64 GB storage model, we have to put ourselves in almost 900 Euros, which represents a difference of more than 150 euros with the Wi-Fi version. In any case, we are not only going to enjoy a mobile connection, but also the most powerful tablet, with better gaming performance and more autonomy, in addition to a spectacular 120 Hz screen.
Galaxy Tab S3
For those who prefer Android, the best option is undoubtedly the Galaxy Tab S3, which in its LTE version is currently available for up to only 620 Euros on Amazon. It should also be borne in mind that in this case the price includes the S Pen, an accessory that the Samsung software takes advantage of a lot. It does not shine so much in performance and autonomy, but in return we have a spectacular device in the multimedia section, with which it continues to be the screen with the best image quality.
The best alternatives, somewhat more affordable
If we are willing to make a significant investment, but the iPad Pro 10.5 and the Galaxy Tab S3 are on our budget, straddling the mid-range and the high-end we also have a few very interesting options.
iPad 9.7
The difference between the Wi-F model and the LTE is also very high for the iPad 9.7 and, in proportion, it shows much more (so much that it is quite close to the price of the Galaxy Tab S3), but for 560 Euros, It is still a more affordable option than the iPad Pro and, although it lacks some of the extras of this, it is still a very solvent tablet with a great user experience, to which few hits can be put except, for our liking , the lack of laminated screen.
Galaxy Tab S2
La Galaxy Tab S2 4G is an even cheaper option, and can be found for up to 430 Euros on Amazon. Do not be afraid that it is a relatively old model, because it is being updated a lot and it seems that it will even have Android Oreo. It also has an extraordinary screen and is a tablet that broke records in weight and thickness. If we prefer smaller screens, the 8-inch model can be found with a mobile connection for less than 400 euros.
Lenovo Tab 4 10 Plus
For those who prefer to bet on a new model, another good option in the field of Android tablets is the Lenovo Tab 4 10 Plus, that we can buy for 400 Euros in its LTE version (in fact, in this case, the most difficult thing is to find it in the Wi-Fi only version). It has in its favor that in this case we will also enjoy no less than 64 GB of storage capacity, although with respect to the Samsung tablet, we lose a bit in the multimedia section.
MediaPad M3
For those who are looking for an 8-inch tablet (or are willing to sacrifice a few inches to lower the price), the best option is undoubtedly the 4G version of the MediaPad M3 The only downside that can be put is that we are going to stay on Android Marshmallow, because in everything else, it is a great tablet, excellent in the multimedia section and in design, which we can buy for a few 320 Euros.
The best mid-range 4G tablets
As we said at the beginning, one of the sections in which the offer of modes with mobile connection has improved the most has been that of mid-range tablets, with very good options from.
MediaPad M3 10 Lite
The most expensive option of all, although going through very little of the 300 Euros, Is the MediaPad M3 10 Lite, whose technical specifications are somewhat more modest than those of the 8-inch model (the difference in resolution and, above all, in processor is quite noticeable), but that it is updated to Android Nougat and that leaves us a screen, in addition, more big.
Galaxy Tab A 10.1
La Galaxy Tab A 10.1 It is another relatively old model but one that is very worth taking into account, because its quality / price ratio is excellent, being found right now on Amazon for only 240 euros. Keep in mind that for this price, in addition to mobile connection, we take a tablet with a Full HD screen, an Exynos processor and that it can also be updated to Android Nougat.
MediaPad T3 10
If we are looking for an even more affordable option, we have to think about the MediaPad T3 10 now, and make some sacrifices in technical specifications (its screen is already only H, for example). At its current price on Amazon, 220 EurosWe would recommend you consider investing a little more to get the Samsung, but you have to check, because we have seen it on many occasions up to below 200 euros, and there it is a very interesting option.
Low-cost 4G tablets
It's hard to find even cheaper tablets because the entry-level 7 and 8-inch models are rarely released in 4G versions, but we can always resort to importing and if you take a look at our review of the best chinese tabletsYou will see that there are some very affordable models with a mobile connection. We have a more specific selection even with a few options of 4G tablets for less than 100 euros that you can consult.
The best 4G tablets with Windows
When the first stores start to arrive Windows 10 ARM tablets The offer will be expanded even more, but last year it grew already enough, so that finding Windows tablets with 4G is less and less complicated.
Galaxy Book 12
Taking into account that the Surface Pro LTE Advanced is not sold at the moment in our country, the best option we have is still the LTE version of the Galaxy Book 12, that by 1630 Euros It must be remembered that it includes the S Pen, in addition to the keyboard, and that not only does it leave us the extra of the mobile connection, but it is also a model superior to the standard both in RAM memory and in storage capacity.
ThinkPad X1 Tablet (2017)
The other option to consider in the high-end, and that we can buy now (the 2018 model will take some time to be available) is the ThinkPad X1 Tablet launched by Lenovo last year. The advantage we have in this case is that the mobile connection is available for two different configurations: one with Intel Core i5 (like the Galaxy Book), for 1670 Euros, and another with Intel Core i7, for 2110 Euros.
Miix 320
We finish by remembering that there is a fantastic option for those looking for a Windows tablet with 4G, but with a more reasonable price, which is the Miix 320. The model with mobile connection is considerably more expensive than the standard (450 Euros), but it has Full HD resolution and double the storage capacity. It is found on sale with certain frequency, in addition, so it may be worth it to be a little attentive.
