The Internet has long become an integral part of people's lives. Many actively use it for work, communication, searching for necessary information. And as the need to resort to the World Wide Web grows, all sorts of gadgets develop and evolve that give us this opportunity.
The days when the only means of connecting to the network were cumbersome stationary computers or laptops - more compact, but in the past quite expensive, that is why not all are available, have vanished into oblivion. The active development of technology and electronics has made it possible to accommodate the capabilities of powerful processors in ever smaller and smaller devices. So, there were netbooks, ultrabooks , tablets and smartphones.
The last two gadgets often compete among themselves, because, first, they have many common features, and secondly, as the boundaries improve, they become more and more blurred. But while they are, so let's try to figure out how the tablet differs from the smartphone and what is better to buy?
What to choose - smartphone or tablet?
If you have a need to purchase a mobile device, then before you run to the store, you need to determine the purpose for which it is needed and how it will be used. We bring to your attention a list of parameters by which you can distinguish the differences between a smartphone and a tablet. Analyzing them, you can decide on the priorities and what will be best for you - a tablet or smartphone.
- Screen size. Of course, the tablet is bigger, it means working, watching movies and briefing web pages on them is much more convenient. As smartphones develop, this assertion becomes more and more doubtful. So, you can buy a tablet with screens of 7 inches, and you can take a communicator, the screen size which is not much smaller - so, there are already models with a diagonal of 5.3 inches.
- Ease of use. The tablet is definitely heavier and, unlike the phone, is not placed in every pocket or even a woman's handbag. But it is much more convenient for those who work with large documents, applications and typesetting long texts. Of course, the virtual keyboard on the screen of the tablet is significantly inferior to the physical one, but it is incomparably more convenient than the one offered on the smartphone. If desired, by the way, the keyboard can be connected to the tablet in addition and then on the convenience of typing the device is almost equal to the netbook.
- Possibility of making calls. In spite of the fact that more and more tablets support the existing communication standards, for example GSM, and the communication tablets adapted for computers also suffice, for example, Skype. But, you see, as a normal phone, use of the tablet is at least uncomfortable and strange, so here the difference between a smartphone and a tablet is obvious.
- Camera. If you compare tablet and smartphone with this parameter, then the first obviously lose, because the quality of photos taken on Smart with good optics is much higher. But the price of such camera phones is much higher
the cost of a tablet with similar parameters. - Service. Screens of tablet computers are much more fragile than conventional smartphones, not to mention the impact-resistant models. Well, if the screen is still damaged, then the repair and replacement will pour out into a round sum - much more than with a similar malfunctioning smartphone.
- Price policy. Due to the rapid upgrade of the model range, both devices quickly fall in price and eventually one can find a suitable model at a relatively reasonable price.
