Best 10 Android Tablets in 2012

The year 2012 comes to the end, in 2012, we see many Android tablets besides iPad, If you're looking for a tablet and don't fancy an iPad, then Android is currently the way to go. Then, what's the best 10 Android tablet in 2012.

1. Google Nexus 7

Packing a Tegra 3 quad-core processor, 12 core GPU, 8GB and 16GB internal storage and 7-inch 1280 x 800 screen, the Nexus 7 certainly has the skills to pay the bills, but at a highly attractive price point.

2. Google Nexus 10

The 10.1 display is one of the biggest talking points on the Google Nexus 10. At 300 pixels per inch it's the highest resolution tablet display on the planet - take that, Apple and your Retina displays

3. Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1

Well, not just a stylus - with many levels of pressure sensitivity and the ability easily sketch and annotate on a wide range of items, the Galaxy Note 10.1 offers so much more than your average tablet.

4. Amazon Kindle Fire HD

Kindle Fire HD is sure to be a big hit, bringing the simplicity of the e-book range to the tablet arena, with dedicated space to access your movies, games, apps and music too.

5. Asus Transformer Prime

Transformer Prime packs a mighty 1.3GHz quad-core processor into a super-slim 8.6mm chassis and although it shipped with Android 3.2, the Prime was the first Android tab to receive the upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich, and it's now been confirmed to be getting an update to Android 4.2 in the near future.

6. Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

Sporting the Tegra 2 dual-core CPU, it's both marginally thinner and lighter than the iPad. This was some achievement, especially when you consider the fuss Apple made about how thin and light the iPad 2 was on launch

7. Sony Tablet S

As a veritable mega-giant in the consumer tech universe, Sony's landing on Planet Tablet was always going to be interesting. Blasting off alongside the fold-in-half Sony Tablet P, the Sony Tablet S has a unique wedge-shaped design and top-end specs

8, Motorola Xoom

Thanks to Google taking over Motorola the Xoom was one of the first devices to get upgraded to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean when it launched, making it a great device even today. However, Android 4.2 isn't going to be making an appearance, so best think about whether you want an outdated device in a year's time.

9. Asus Transformer Pad 300

The Transformer Pad 300 offers up the power of a quad-core Tegra 3 processor, a 10.1-inch display and 12 hour battery life in a device that's cheaper than the Transformer Prime.

10. Acer Iconia Tab A510

For your financial outlay, the Acer Iconia Tab A510 represents a shrewd investment, especially for people willing to accept a few minor flaws.
