Positions to face the best chinese tablets with Android of the moment with the best mid-range tablets of conventional manufacturers, we cannot miss the opportunity to confront in a comparative to the last of Teclast with that of Samsung 10-inch, a very difficult rival to beat in terms of quality / price ratio and without the need to resort to export: Teclast T10 vs Galaxy Tab A 10.1.
Designer
In the design section it is perhaps where it has the most points in favor of that of Teclast, since it not only comes with a metal casing, but also has a fingerprint reader. Without detracting from the inclusion of high-end details, however, this continues to be an example of the difference in care put into the design: while in the Teclast T10 we find that the reader has a somewhat strange location, on the back, not very comfortable to use, on the tablet of Samsung we find that the camera and the home button, in a somewhat unusual way, are placed as if inviting to use the tablet in a portrait position, but with the effect that when we use it in a landscape position, as we normally do with such a screen, we have more grip surface on the sides and the button is in a position where it is easy to use.
Dimensions
This peculiarity of the design of the Galaxy Tab A 10.1 makes that when we compare it with other tablets of its size we find that it is clearly more elongated, as it happens here too (23,90 x 16,70 cm against 25,41 x 15,93 cm). In weigh (553 grams against 525 grams) and in thickness (8 mm against 8,2 mm), instead, we can see that they are practically tied.
Screen
Apart from the design details that we have mentioned, the other great claims of the Teclast T10 It would probably be its resolution, which is much higher than that offered by the Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2560 x 1600 against 1920 x 1200). There are no differences, on the other hand, in the other basic technical specifications, since they have the same size (10.1 inches) and the same aspect resolution (16:10), optimized for video playback.
Unlimited
The thing is much more even in the performance section: the tablet of Teclast It has more RAM memory, something interesting if we are one of those who take multitasking to the limit (4 GB against 2 GB) but, on the other hand, on the tablet Samsung we have a processor Exynos instead of a Mediatek (MT8176 six core to 1,7 GHz against Exynos 7870 eight core to 1,6 GHz). The two will allow us to enjoy, in addition, Android Nougat, because despite being older, the Galaxy Tab A 10.1 It is one of the tablets that did receive the update.
Storage capacity
Although it does not attract as much attention as others, that of storage capacity is one of the most notable victories of the tablet of Teclast, where we really find a wider difference, especially since it is perhaps the weakest point of the tablet of Samsung: the first one leaves us 64 GB internal memory and the second 16 GB, although in both cases we can use the card micro-SD to gain space externally.
Cameras
A victory almost as bulky, but much less relevant for the average user, is the one that scores the Teclast T10 in the cameras section, with figures well above normal in the field of tablets, with 13 SM in the back and 8 SM in the front. In any case, the Galaxy Tab A 10.1 can satisfy most of the needs that may arise, with 8 SM in the main chamber and 2 SM on the front.
Autonomy
With regard to autonomy, the tablet of Samsung part with some disadvantage in battery capacity (8100 mAh against 7300 mAh), but that does not amount to a defeat this time, because consumption is an equally important factor, and it would be normal that with a lower resolution here she would be the one to take the lead. However, we will have to wait to have comparable real-use test data to pass judgment.
Teclast T10 vs Galaxy Tab A 10.1: final balance of the comparison and price
La Galaxy Tab A 10.1 It is one of the most recommended options right now in the mid-range, because for its price, which usually falls below the 200 Euros At major dealers, it's hard to find better features. It is even somewhat cheaper than Teclast T10 which, at least for the moment, is being sold for prices around the 220 Euros.
It is true, however, that with the tablet of Teclast we are going to enjoy a higher resolution and much more storage capacity, in addition to some details that may be interesting, such as the fingerprint reader or better cameras. The tablet of SamsungOn the other hand, it is a safe bet thanks to the Samsung seal (an example of this is that it is one of the few mid-range tablets that was updated to Android Nougat) and that it does not require going through importation.
