Lenovo yoga 3 8 vs Asus ZenPad S 8.0 vs iPad mini 3:Best fit for use is.......................
Lenovo yoga 3 8 inch The Yoga Tab 3 stands above similarly priced 8-inch tablets, thanks mostly to its prodigious 15-hour-plus battery life.The Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 has a practical design that features a built-in kickstand. There is a rotatable camera that takes sharp photos and front-facing speakers that provide rich and clear audio. Battery life is long. The rotating 8-megapixel shooter takes surprisingly clear shots in most light setting. And because it rotates, you're getting a much higher quality for front-facing images and video than you do with the Amazon Fire's lackluster VGA front-facing camera.The tablet comes with a 8.00-inch display with a resolution of 1280 pixels by 800 pixels. The Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 (8-inch) is powered by 1.3GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 processor and it comes with 1GB of RAM. The tablet packs 16GB of internal storage that can be expanded up to 128GB via a microSD card. As far as the cameras are concerned, the Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 (8-inch) packs a 8-megapixel primary camera on the rear. The Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 (8-inch) runs Android 5.1 and is powered by a 6200mAh non removable battery. It measures 210.00 x 146.00 x 7.00 (height x width x thickness) and weighs 466.00 grams. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth. Sensors on the tablet include Accelerometer. Battery life is excellent too. Part of the idea behind the bulkier frame is that it lets the Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 fit a 6,200mAh unit in. While not a mind-bendingly capacious battery, it is very large indeed for something with a 1280 x 800 8-inch screen. It'll last for around 14 hours of video playback. And even when tackling one of Android's more intense games it doesn't drop like a stone. It's one of the longest-lasting budget tablets in existence.
but,It comes to the lower resolution display, disappointing camera, and performance issues.It's a bit heavy for its small size. Large games are slow to load.
THE BOTTOM LINE The Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 8 is a solid starter tablet with a unique design that optimizes multimedia consumption, but it's heavy on bloatware and light on processing power.The Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 is the tablet to get if your needs are simple and your budget is low. Price:$169
VS Asus ZenPad S 8.0 The Zenpad S 8.0 is also very, very thin at 6.9mm and quite light at 319g. While we're not sure many would sell at £300, this Asus could pass pretty convincingly for something around that price.The Asus ZenPad S 8.0 is affordable, lightweight and thin, with a sleek design. Its brilliant screen is razor sharp and can be color-corrected with preloaded Asus software. Adjusting the screen's color balance, saturation and sharpness is a breeze thanks to its user-friendly UI, and its microSD card slot expands up to 128GB. That screen is a QXGA (2048 x 1536 pixel) IPS LCD. It's sharp, but also shares some unwanted traits with the ZenFone 2: it won't get terribly bright and the colors skew on the cooler side. Neither of those things will ruin your Netflix or gaming experience. Most of the time you probably won’t notice, but the screen is clearly one area where Asus cut costs.The ZenPad S 8.0’s powered by a quad-Core, 64bit, Intel Atom Z3560 CPU, 2GB RAM and IMG PowerVR Series 6 G6430 GPU.
The chip is a serious step up from the Intel Atom X3 CPU used in Asus’ cheaper 8-inch Zenpad 8.0.
The ZenPad S 8.0’s benchmarking reflects this. The tablet scored 2,409 on Geekbench and 40,952 on Antutu. On the GPU focused 3DMark Icestorm Unlimited test the ZenPad S 8.0 ran with a 19,142 score.
This puts it well above its cheaper Zenpad 8.0 sibling, which scored 854 on Geekbench and 3,293 in the 3DMark.
The score does still put it well below more expensive flagship Android tablets, such as the Galaxy Tab S2 8.0. The Galaxy Tab S2 scored of 4,206 on Geekbench and 19,306 on 3DMark’s Ice Storm Unlimited test.The ZenPad S 8.0’s matched its benchmark scores with real world testing. It opens applications in milliseconds and is capable of playing demanding games, like Shadowrun, Banner Saga and Baldur’s Gate Enhanced Edition stutter free.The ZenPad's 4,000mAh battery only lasted for 4 hours and 16 minutes in our rundown test, which streams a video over Wi-Fi with the screen set to maximum brightness. Compared with similar tablets like the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 (11 hours and 52 minutes) and even the larger iPad Air 2 (5 hours and 15 minutes), this is a rather disappointing result.
The front-facing speakers are weak, and the cameras takes underwhelming photos.
THE BOTTOM LINE The Asus ZenPad S 8.0 is an attractive alternative to better-known models from Samsung and Apple, and packs in an impressive array of bells and whistles which you might expect to find on a more expensive tablet. The Asus ZenPad S 8.0 is one of the best Android tablets around, with a price that belies its impressive quality Price:$199 to $299
VS The iPad mini 3 The iPad mini range is still a brilliant proposition, offering the best of the iPad but squishing it down into a smaller package.Well, that's what happened last year - this year Apple has basically rebooted the Mini 2, put TouchID on the front, made it gold and called it a new tablet. Performance
The iPad mini 3 has exactly the same processor as the iPad mini 2 and iPhone 5S – a 64-bit A7 dual-core processor with 1GB of RAM. The cores run at 1.3GHz, as opposed to the iPad Air 2’s tri-core 1.5GHz, and a quad-core GPU provides plenty of grunt for 3D gaming.
Even though it’s a year old, it’s still a very competent processor. The iPad mini 3 zips through menus on iOS 8 and apps open with speed. Games look fantastic, particularly those made with the 64-bit architecture in mind, such as Infinity Blade 3.
As expected, in our benchmark tests the iPad mini 2 scores almost exactly the same as its predecessor. It scored 2550 on Geekbench 3 and 14,009 on 3D Mark Ice Storm Unlimited – both decent scores, but less than the Snapdragon 801 or 805 that most top Android tablets have. It’s also a lot less than the Nvidia Shield Tabletcan muster. That scores 3209 on Geekbench 3 and a whopping 29,206 on Ice Storm Unlimited. That’s more than double the gaming performance for a lot less cash.
However, the iPad mini 3, like the mini 2 before it, performs well and should still do so for a few years to come.
It's only ahead of the older version (a cheaper option while offering the same specs minus the biometrics) due to this being a list of the best tablets, and this is the best mini tablet from Apple, but it's not offering a lot more than last year's model.
What it does bring is good though: iOS 8 works very well on the mini 3, and the overall speed and compact size is still a very good combo, even at the higher price.
