With the help of Qualcomm, Android tablets have entered the high-end era, how long can the Snapdragon 870 hold?

The tablet computer category can survive so far, the most thankful should be Apple, the original tablet computer market may be completely replaced by smartphones, but Apple made a bold attempt, launched 11-inch and 12-inch iPad Pro, did not expect to achieve unexpected feedback and sales in the market, so that tablet computers can continue to develop.

For a long time, Apple's iPad was the only option in the tablet market, but then Samsung began to launch tablets with flagship chips, thus taking Android tablets to a new level. Now most mainstream Android tablets are equipped with Qualcomm's high-end chips, so that the product power and cost performance can be on par with Apple's iPad, becoming a new choice in addition to the iPad, and before that, one of the reasons why Android tablets performed poorly was that few manufacturers paid attention to the performance of Android tablets, so most Android manufacturers will equip their tablets with a low-end chip in the early stage.

At present, the latest tablet computers of Android manufacturers are basically stuck in the model released in the middle of 2022, in the absence of the release of 2023 new tablets, these tablets are still the best choice in the current Android market, from the domestic brand of flat four tablet computers are all equipped with Qualcomm generation God U - Snapdragon 870 processor, they are vivo Pad, Xiaomi tablet 5 Pro, Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro2022 Snapdragon version, OPPO Pad.

For the Snapdragon 870 processor, I believe many people are impressed, at that time Qualcomm released the Snapdragon 888 and Snapdragon 870 two processors, the former positioned the high-end flagship market, the latter positioned the sub-flagship market, but because the Snapdragon 888 at that time used Samsung's process, so it was not perfect in heating and power consumption, and Snapdragon 870 because it did not pursue the ultimate performance and technology, so that the energy consumption of this chip is very stable, At the same time, the cost of products equipped with this chip is lower than that of the Snapdragon 888 model, so the mobile phone equipped with the Snapdragon 870 is also cost-effective, and it has become a product that many people have chosen so far.

It is precisely because the overall energy consumption ratio of Snapdragon 870 is balanced, and the cost performance of this chip is also very high, so the tablet launched by Android manufacturers also gives priority to the use of this chip, the 4 domestic Android tablets mentioned earlier, in addition to the OPPO Pad that has been removed from the shelves priced at 2299 yuan, the other 3 models are starting from 2499 yuan, but it should be noted that Xiaomi Mi Tablet 5 Pro starts with a 6GB+128GB memory combination, and vivo Both the Pad and Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2022 Snapdragon Edition are equipped with an 8GB+128G memory combination.

How to choose between these 4 models?

OPPO Pad has launched the second generation of products, so the original OPPO Pad has been removed, naturally there is no choice.

Although the Mi Tablet 5 Pro is not currently on the shelf, it is also in a long-term shortage state, and it is said that the new Xiaomi Mi Tablet 6 series is ready to go.

The 8GB+128GB version of the vivo Pad is still in stock, and the high-end version of the 8GB+256GB version is out of stock, and the second generation may also be released this year.

Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2022 Snapdragon Edition currently only has one color scheme of 8GB+128GB, and other color matching versions are out of stock.

Overall, the current optional Snapdragon 870 tablet is only vivo Pad and Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2022 Snapdragon Edition.

Feather extraordinary personal feeling that the tablet PC of the Snapdragon 870 is enough in terms of performance, after all, the use of the tablet computer is not as heavy as the mobile phone, but if you must choose a higher-end tablet, in addition to waiting for the new generation of tablets from the above domestic manufacturers, you can also consider the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 with the Snapdragon 8 Gen1, but its starting price has come to 4299 yuan.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 released in March 2022, should be the only tablet product equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen1, it is worth mentioning that Snapdragon 8 Gen1 compared with the previous generation of Snapdragon 888 and Snapdragon 888+ in the energy balance has been greatly improved, in the smartphone market is naturally inferior to the current latest Snapdragon 8 Gen2, but in the Android tablet market, Snapdragon 8 Gen1 is certainly the strongest chip.

For the new tablet that domestic manufacturers are about to release, the probability will not use the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen2, after all, it is still necessary to control costs and consider the comprehensive cost performance, so it is possible to use Snapdragon 8+ processor, if you want to choose Snapdragon 870 tablet, you can still start vivo Pad and Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2022 Snapdragon version, but for people who want to choose Samsung Galaxy Tab S8, I recommend waiting for the new tablet that domestic manufacturers will release soon.
