A good-enough cheap tablets at a great price-Priceangels.com

The cheap tablets market was struggling during its early stages, but momentum has picked up as we move into a mobile world. PC sales are plummeting while tablets are on the rise. Many of you may think this is thanks to Apple’s iPad, but such is not the case. In fact, Android is dominating the market according to this year’s Q2 results.

That said, this tablet is absolutely terrific and it’s the one we’ll be carrying with us for the foreseeable future. The screen is absolutely unsurpassed in the small-tablet category (or arguably any tablet category), and that’s a big deal. It’s simply a joy to look at, it’s effortless to carry, it’s extremely fast, and it’s very cheap for how good it is.

The original Nexus 7 was merely a bargain, a good-enough tablet at a great price. The new Nexus 7 is a downright steal. It’s the best 7-inch tablet, period. Google has redefined budget tablet so that it no longer refers to cheap-feeling, sub-$200 devices. You can now grab a svelte, premium 7-inch tablet with a high-resolution screen, wireless charging, quad-core processor, and 2GB of RAM for a measly $229.

Strategy Analytics’ latest research shows a significant increase in Android tablets for sale shipments, while iOS continues to decline. iOS tablets account for 28.3% of Q2′s (2013) shipments, which is a significant drop from last year’s 47.2% marketshare in the same quarter.cdf5SFs4

Meanwhile, Android has gone up to 67% from last year’s 51.4%. This accounts for 34.6 million Android tablets shipped during the quarter, which is a lot when you consider Apple’s 14.6 million shipments. Android was close to doubling it’s Q2 2012 shipments, which accounted for just 18.5 million shipments.

Android took the smartphone market by surprise when it started rising out of control. No one believed Android could really take on iOS, but the numbers quickly piled up. Could it be the same is happening with tablets? The revamped Nexus 7 is more than just the next stock Android gadget offering from Google. It’s the company’s re-do of what it should have done right the first time. The search (and maps, and mail, and…) giant, with its ginormous, seemingly all-inclusive Android ecosystem, has finally entered the premium tablet market.

Android has been able to beat Apple, even with less tablet apps and the iPad’s insane popularity. It seems fame is not enough when you have Google and Android manufacturers giving you deals you can’t refuse.

The most popular Android 7 inch android tablet are much more affordable than Apple’s cheapest alternatives (iPad Mini). Not to mention they have equal or similar performance. And Android tablets that match the full-sized iPad’s price tend to have much higher specs and trending/new features.
