Mobile phones often attract much of the attention when looking ahead to the release of new devices. However, 2024 looks set to be a huge year for new tablets. Apple did not release a single new iPad in 2023, so what can we expect in 2024?
1. iPad Pro 2024
The next iPad Pro could be available before the summer and the potential release of a new iPad is causing a stir. In terms of power, nothing is yet to beat the iPad Pro 2022 but that is about to change thanks to the iPad Pro 2024. Reports suggest the iPad Pro 2024 will come with the Apple M3 chip, which is the same chip found in the 14-inch MacBook Pro. The 14-inch MacBook Pro is an entry level device but means the new iPad Pro will be as powerful as a MacBook Pro. That will give the tablet tremendous gaming potential, whether it be action, adventure, sports, or casino games, such as those at the casinos inspired by casinorange.com. The iPad Pro 2024 could also come with an OLED display, which would be an improvement over the current iPad Pro models.
2. Samsung Galaxy Tab S10
Samsung rarely disappoint when it comes to their flagship tablet and the next to be unveiled in the range is the Galaxy Tab S10. Samsung are the one company who can compete with Apple in terms of hype and deliver on the public’s expectations. The Galaxy Tab S10 is likely to arrive late summer and it will be interesting to see how they improve on their previous offering last year. The Tab S9 already has an OLED screen and allows the S Pen to charge but we could see the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip included in the S10. There was little to dislike about the S9 for Android users and it will be interesting to see what Samsung can do to make the S10 tablet even better.
3. Microsoft Surface Pro 10
One company that could make significant changes to their latest tablet release in 2024 is Microsoft. The Microsoft Surface Pro 10 is tipped to arrive on the market in early summer and users will be hoping to see more from the Windows tablet. Rounded corners on the display, new colour options, and a wider field of view on the webcam are just some of the potential new features that could be coming on the Microsoft Surface Pro 10. There are rumours of a potential move to an OLED display and the possibility of an optional NFC reader. When ordering from Microsoft, there could be a choice between the new Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite chip and the new Intel Meteor Lake CPU. Both chips should lead to big performance gains over the Surface Pro 9 and Microsoft will be hoping to attract the attention of consumers thanks to serious improvements in that department.
Some of the other best new tablets due in 2024 include the Apple iPad Air 12.9-inch, Apple iPad mini 7, Vivo Pad 3, and the Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro.
