Before choosing a tablet, you need to decide what it is for. If you use it purely as a reader and for watching movies in HD quality from Megogo, YouTube, RuTube, then from my own experience, I note that a tablet with 353MB of RAM and a 10-inch screen is quite suitable for this. If a tablet is needed for the Internet, then to quickly display web pages, you need at least 1GB of RAM and 2 cores.
Instructions
Step 1
After you have decided that you need a fast Internet, you need to determine the size of the random access memory (RAM) and the number of cores. To do this, you need to test the tablet: download the AnTuTu Benchmark program from PlayMarket (via a regular desktop computer) to the USB flash drive and ask the consultant to install the program on the tablet. As a result of the test (Info tab), it can be seen that there is only one core, and RAM (RAM) is only 353MB, although the consultant and the characteristics on the Internet assured me that my tablet has 512MB of RAM.
This happened because the manufacturer has the right to change the configuration at its discretion, and this is not indicated anywhere in the settings and on the box.
As you can see, 150MB is used in general. This is very small. This happened because 203MB is spent on the operation of the video card, which is obviously built into the processor and uses its memory.
Step 2
Now you need to test the amount of internal memory (preferably from 16GB). On the example of my tablet, you can see that in fact, the internal memory of the tablet, declared as 8GB, is actually divided into:
a) system memory is 0.98GB, of which 0.29GB is available (the rest is occupied by the system);
b) built-in and is 5.38GB, available -1.53GB.
The catch is that there are very tricky applications that stubbornly do not want to install on the built-in memory (such as Google Yandex maps) and want to use the already meager (0.29GB) system memory resources.
There comes a time when these programs "eat up" all the system memory, and the system is buggy (the tablet spontaneously reboots and removes all installed programs).
Step 3
GPS availability can be checked in "Settings-My Location". If there is a GPS-navigator, then you can see the option "Determine the location by GPS satellites".
2 applications later helped me determine the location: GPS-fix and Soviet military maps. The GPS-navigator worked by satellites (without the Internet and a SIM card) only on the street, it took 15 minutes to wait without moving. This is because there were no additional sensors, the presence of which can also be found out using a program like AnTuTu Benchmark
