CPU

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.

CPU speed

The clock speed of the processor installed in the tablet is actually the maximum number of operations performed by one processor core per second. This indicator is important for the speed of the system, but a high clock frequency in itself does not guarantee speed. The actual speed of the processor also depends on its architecture, the number of cores and many other features, and the overall speed of the device also depends on the amount of “RAM”, the installed OS, etc. Therefore, situations are not uncommon when powerful advanced tablets have a lower CPU frequency than more modest models.

Graphics card

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.

AnTuTu Benchmark

The result shown by a device when undergoing a performance test (benchmark) in the AnTuTu Benchmark.

AnTuTu Benchmark is a comprehensive test designed specifically for mobile devices, primarily smartphones and tablets. It evaluates the performance of the processor, memory, graphics, and input/output systems, providing a clear impression of the system's capabilities. The better the performance, the higher the score. According to AnTuTu, top models are those that score more than 500,000 points.

As with any benchmark, this test does not provide absolute precision; for more details on measurement inaccuracies, see the "3DMark Gamer's Benchmark" section.

Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi is a must for modern tablets. This interface can be used both for connecting to local networks or the Internet (via a home router, public access point, etc.), and for direct communication with other devices (for example, remote control of a camera or broadcasting video to a TV). And tablets with 3G/LTE modules (or with the ability to connect an external cellular USB modem) can also work as an access point, “distributing” mobile Internet to other devices with Wi-Fi.

The Wi-Fi standard primarily determines the maximum data transfer speed (the actual speed is usually much lower). The most modest of the current Wi-Fi 3 standards (802.11g) provides speeds of up to 54 Mbit/s, but it is considered outdated and is extremely rare as the main one. Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) with speeds of up to 300 Mbit/s, and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac)(up to 6.77 Gbit/s) have become much more widespread. Devices supporting Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) and Wi-Fi 6E are also gaining popularity, where connection speeds already reach 10 Gbps, and a number of solutions have been introduced to optimize the simultaneous operation of several devices on one router.

The latest version for 2024 is 802.11be - Wi-Fi 7. The technology, like the previous Wi-Fi 6E, is capable of operating in three frequency ranges: 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz. At the same time, the maximum bandwidth in Wi-Fi...7 was increased from 160 MHz to 320 MHz - the wider the channel, the more data it can transmit. The IEEE 802.11be standard uses 4096-QAM modulation, which also allows more symbols to be accommodated in a data transmission unit. From Wi-Fi 7 you can squeeze out a maximum theoretical information exchange speed of up to 46 Gbps. In the context of using wireless connections for streaming and video games, the implemented MLO (Multi-Link Operation) development seems very interesting. With its help, you can aggregate several channels in different ranges, which significantly reduces delays in data transmission and ensures low and stable ping. And Multi-RU (Multiple Resource Unit) technology is designed to minimize communication delays when there are many connected client devices.

Separately, we note that, in addition to the directly specified Wi-Fi standard, modern tablets usually support a number of earlier versions. The same principle is used in most Wi-Fi equipment, so, as a rule, there are no problems with version compatibility.

aGPS

Auxiliary function, the main purpose of which is the acceleration of the so-called "cold start" of the main GPS receiver of the device (see GPS module). A "cold start" is the launch of a GPS receiver from scratch, when no data on the location of satellites and other service information has yet been loaded into it. Obtaining this data in the classical way, directly from satellites, can take a significant amount of time (up to several minutes); the situation is especially complicated in areas with dense buildings, where the signal from satellites is subject to reflections and distortions. Devices equipped with aGPS (Assisted GPS) can receive service information from auxiliary sources such as mobile base stations or even Wi-Fi access points; this simplifies location determination and reduces the cold start time by several times.

GPS

A device for receiving signals from the GPS satellite navigation system. The GPS module itself only allows you to determine the current geographic coordinates of the device, but the options for using this data directly depend on the software installed on the tablet and can be very diverse: determining the position on the map, navigating along the route, hints about the presence of certain places nearby, search lost tablet and even games related to the so-called "Augmented Reality".

GLONASS

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.

Digital compass

A sensor that allows you to determine the direction to the cardinal points. Uses the earth's magnetic field, like a conventional mechanical compass, so the accuracy of the readings can be quite low. However, tablets are rarely used for high-precision compass navigation, and this disadvantage is not critical.
