The best tablets of 2025
"It was an interesting year for tablets as we saw hundreds of new slates hit the shelves. From compact offerings with flagship specs to established Ultra options from the likes of Samsung and a great selection of budget options, 2025 did not disappoint. And while Apple dominated the tablet sphere in terms of shipments for yet another year, we also got some great offerings on the Android side."
"The M5 chip is arguably the most potent SoC out there, even though iPadOS is still a long way away from taking advantage of all the raw power it offers. There are some tangible benefits, though, as the new Pros can now output at up to 120Hz to an external display while also adding support for Adaptive Sync (VRR). You also get 12GB RAM as standard across both sizes, alongside improved connectivity with Apple's in-house N1 networking chip featuring the latest Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6."
2025 brought hundreds of new tablets spanning compact flagships, large Ultra models, and budget picks. Apple led shipment volumes while Android makers delivered strong alternatives. The iPad Pro models use the M5 chip, include 12GB of RAM, and can output up to 120Hz to external displays with Adaptive Sync (VRR). The Pros add Apple's N1 Wi‑Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 networking and cellular options with the C1X modem. Ultra Retina Tandem OLED panels and a premium thin build command high prices starting around $999. Samsung's Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra offers a razor‑thin 5.1mm aluminum unibody, a 14.6‑inch AMOLED, and quad speakers.
