Comparison Nomi C101034 Ultra 4 LTE 16 GB vs Nomi C101014 Ultra 4 16 GB

The model name of the processor installed in the tablet.

The processor is the “heart” of the device. It is he who is responsible for performing all the computing operations necessary for the normal operation of the tablet, and largely determines the overall performance. Knowing the name of a specific processor model, you can easily find detailed information on it, incl. and comparison with other models.

The most popular chips these days are from Qualcomm(in particular, the top solutions Snapdragon 800 series and Snapdragon 8 series), MediaTek(budget and “mid-range” MediaTek Helio processors and the line of advanced MediaTek Dimensity chipsets with 5G support), and among Windows tablets Intel processors (mainly the Intel Core family) are often found. Quite a rarity are branded Kirin processors from Huawei and Honor.

Model of the graphics card installed in the tablet. The graphics card in such devices is not a separate device, but part of the processor; however, she still has a clear specialization and is responsible for graphics.

Accordingly, the graphics capabilities of the tablet directly depend on the characteristics of the video accelerator. Theoretically, knowing the name, you can find detailed specifications of a graphics card, reviews, test results and other information and evaluate how it suits you. At the same time, in most cases there is no need to delve into such details — all system components, including the graphics card, are usually selected in such a way as to correspond to the general class of the tablet and the capabilities necessary for this class.

The tablet's support for SIM cards means that it supports mobile networks (3G, LTE or even 5G - depending on the model). At a minimum, installing a card allows you to connect to the Internet to always stay connected. Note that modern tablets can use several different types of SIM cards. Before choosing a SIM card, you need to check what size card is suitable for the device.

- micro-SIM. The largest type of SIM card widely used in modern devices: it has a size of 15x12 mm. It was introduced back in 2010; nowadays it is being replaced by more compact and advanced nano-SIM and eSIM. Note that, as a last resort, a card for the microSIM slot can be made by simply cutting a larger mini-SIM to the required dimensions. However, such an operation is associated with a certain risk and requires care, so it is better to contact your mobile operator to replace the SIM card with a suitable one.

- nano-SIM. The smallest form factor of classic (replaceable) SIM cards is 12x9 mm. In such cards, the frames are cut almost “to fit the chip itself,” so there is essentially nowhere to further reduce traditional SIM cards. This standard appeared back in 2012, but it is still extremely widespread.

- e-SIM. A SIM card of this type is an electronic module built directly into the device and cannot be replaced. To authorize in the mobile operator’s network, you need to make the appropriate settings in t...he e-SIM; Moreover, such modules are able to save several sets of settings at once, which allows you to easily switch between different operators - no need to bother with physically replacing the SIM card, just change the profile in the settings. Another advantage of such modules is their compactness. However, before buying a phone with e-SIM, it doesn’t hurt to check whether this technology is supported by your mobile operator - even nowadays, not every network is compatible with such modules.

At the same time, the tablet is not always limited to one card slot. There are also options for two slots - this allows you to use two numbers at the same time in one device. The main convenience here is that to choose between two connection options, you don’t have to change the card in your tablet every time (and also risk losing the unused one). And the ability to choose may not be superfluous, given that different operators offer different communication standards, coverage areas and payment terms.

— 3G. Support for third-generation mobile networks (3G) by the modem. Usually it means work in UMTS networks (development of the GSM standard); Depending on the data transfer technologies supported by the network and the tablet itself, the maximum connection speed can vary from 2 to 70 Mbps. This is comparable to the speed of terrestrial Internet connection channels, so 3G connection can be comfortably used for web surfing, downloading files, watching streaming video, video calling, etc. In many models, classic voice calls to mobile and landline numbers are also available; most often these are devices with a small diagonal, which allows you to hold the tablet to your ear like a regular phone.

— 4G (LTE). Tablet support for 4th generation mobile communications — 4G(LTE). Such a connection provides data transfer speeds up to 173 Mbps according to the official specification (1 Gbps in the future), which gives even more comfort when surfing the Internet and other similar tasks than in 3G networks. In many LTE-tablets, classic voice calls to mobile and landline numbers are also available; most often these are devices with a small diagonal, which allows you to hold the tablet to your ear like a regular phone.

Note that the implementation of LTE in different countries and even regions is uneven, so before buying a tablet with such a module, it's ok to clarify the availability of coverage.
<...br> — 5G. Further, after 4G, the development of mobile communication standards. In the official specifications of this generation, a peak speed of 20 Gbps for reception and 10 Gbps for transmission, guaranteed reception and transmission speeds (at high network load) of 100 and 50 Mbps, respectively, as well as a number of solutions aimed at increasing reliability and overall communication quality. A set of such solutions includes, in particular, multi-element antenna arrays (Massive MIMO) and beamforming technologies (Beamforming) at base stations, as well as the possibility of direct communication between subscriber devices. With all this, this standard allows to reduce energy consumption in comparison with its predecessors.
Separately, it is worth touching on rumors about the dangers of 5G communications for health. According to modern scientific data, such a connection does not pose a danger to the human body, and the rumors mentioned are conspiracy theories that are not supported by any weighty arguments.

Tablet support for the GLONASS navigation system. This system is a russian alternative to the American GPS, but it is less accurate and less functional. Therefore, GLONASS support is usually provided as an addition to the GPS module; the use of two navigation systems at once improves the accuracy and speed of positioning, and also provides an additional guarantee in case of various failures.

Resolution of the front camera of the tablet.

There is an opinion that more megapixels means better quality of filming. However, this is not entirely true: only the maximum resolution of the resulting images depends on the resolution of the matrix, and their quality is determined by many other parameters. However a large sensor resolution may be a sign of an advanced camera, but this is not necessary — two "eyes" with the same number of megapixels can radically differ in the quality of shooting.

The main purpose of frontcameras in tablets is video communication, and for it high resolution is not critical. Therefore, the number of megapixels in such cameras is noticeably lower than in rear cameras — for example, 2 MP considered an acceptable value, 5 MP is not bad, 7 MP and 8 MP is good, 12MP — excellent.
