The best Android tablets of 2020:

Editor’s note: We will update this list regularly as new Android tablets launch.

1. Best high-end tablet: Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Plus

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Plus is hard to beat and stands high as one of the best Android tablets (if not the best). This pad comes with a Snapdragon 865 Plus processor, 6GB to 8GB of RAM, 128GB to 256GB of storage, and a hefty 10,090mAh battery.

The screen is now much larger at 12.4 inches. It’s also a gorgeous Super AMOLED panel with a 2,800 x 1,752 resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. You can also opt for a data-connected version with 5G/LTE. This is one hell of a tablet, and it’s hands-down the best Android tablet you can find. It’s also pricey, though.

2. Best mid-range tablet: Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is an excellent mid-range alternative to the more expensive Galaxy Tab S6. You get a very similar quality experience without the high price tag. It still comes with the great S Pen and an all-metal design. It’s a tiny bit smaller, sports an Exynos 9611 processor, and has 4GB of RAM. The device is also much cheaper, though. It’s one of the best Android tablets for those who need a mid-ranger.

Despite being one of the cheapest tablets Samsung has to offer, the 2019-edition Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 keeps pace with the more expensive Samsung tablets and continues to be one of the best Android tablets around. There’s no home button in sight, the bezels are much thinner, it comes with a premium metal build, and the device is running Android 9.0 Pie.

Granted, you don’t get the specs and features of Samsung’s more expensive offerings, but if a good viewing experience with decent performance is what you’re after, the Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2019) gets the job done — and at a very low price too.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2019) specs:

Display: 10.1-inch, QHD+

10.1-inch, QHD+ SoC: Exynos 7904

4. Best ultra-affordable tablets: Amazon Fire family

Amazon continues to offer some of the best Android tablets. They just keep getting better and cheaper! The Amazon Fire 7 is an entry-level tablet, but its near rock bottom starting price is still very impressive.

If you’re looking for a little more “fire,” you get a gig more of RAM, a slightly larger display with a higher resolution, and up to five hours more of battery life with the Amazon Fire HD 8. Or you can opt for the Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus, which has even more RAM and wireless charging.

Finally, Amazon Fire HD 10 is the higher-end member of the Fire family. As the name suggests, you get a Full HD 10.1-inch display, and specs that are similar to the Galaxy Tab A 10.1 above.

Specifications aside, there are a few experiences that are shared across the board, the most important of which is the integrated hands-free Alexa functionality. There’s also no Google Play Store access, making these devices better suited for those invested in the Amazon ecosystem.
