Android vs iOS vs Windows Tablets 10 Years Later!

While the iPad dominates the tablet space today, Android and even (kinda) Windows tablets had much more of a presence, let's take a look at some 7 inch tablets from 2013 and see how they compare to one another. The iPad Mini 2, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3, and the HP Stream 7.

I think it'd be nicer if the HP tablet was running on Windows 8 which it originally came with. Metro UI was so good on tablets, it's a shame it was forced on desktop users and got a bad flack as a result.

Yeah Windows 8 is really good on tablets until you get to the desktop where it all falls apart, the app ecosystem was never good enough to keep people using the metro ui. Windows 11 has actually got some pretty good tablet gestures and optimisations, much better than Windows 10 on that regard

[@survil321]

16:30 Newer Windows uses Fast Boot by default, which at shutdown moves system apps from RAM to the drive (something similar to hibernation mode). At boot the apps don’t have to go through the long loading process. It just takes the previous state from the drive back to RAM, leading to faster boot time. A side effect of this is the Uptime counter not reseting after a shutdown.

[@aqiluii]

Will fast boot consume battery during shutdown?

[@survil321]

⁠@@aqiluiiIt should consume the same amount as a normal shutdown. Also the shutdown itself is faster because it doesn’t have to close all apps. So it may even consume less than a normal shutdown

[@fbelard]

I was against fastboot by principle but when I was upgrading my family's identical 2012 i5 Toshibas to Windows 11 (i know lol) I realized that a properly maintained Windows installation (which I keep that way by virtue of them not having admin passwords) no longer demands being rebooted from time to time, and Windows Update takes care of that anyway. So I just set them to "suspend" by default. But my dad insists on shutting down the pc so I turned on fastboot and I have to admit it's a great feature. I even got 11 working okayish on his spinning hard disk before I stuck ssds and 8GB ram in all of them. They work great, better than some new cheapo celerons. Lack of vp9 video acceleration is the main problem but I took care of that with the h264ify browser extension. Ok this has gone way off topic but anyway, if you're gonna have to be your family's IT guy, buy them identical upgradeable PCs or pre-2016 2nd hand Macs.

I tested HP Stream 7 on Windows 8.1, and Minecraft 1.8 ran on it in 50fps.. I've heard that all builds of Windows 10 after 1703 run awfully here, so sticking even with RTM Win10 will be much better option than with Windows 8.1 or 22H2.

[@AlexGFrank]

Regarding the Win tablet, the horrible performance is not the CPU's fault. It was actually pretty decent for the time, especially for ultra-cheap devices. But it was any good only if paired with 2 gigs of ram and semi-decent storage, which, let me tell you, DOES ACTUAL MIRACLES. I had the Archos 80 Copper (if not mistaken) for school things back then, and it was one of the few with actually decent flash storage instead of bottom-of-the-barrel eMMC. Ran Win8.1 pretty great. Was more than enough for me to read text books and play older games (up to roughly 2007) with a Bluetooth keyboard. Honestly, even Atom Z270-based Sony Vaio P from my collection is borderline usable with Win10 on it. Just because it has fast enough storage for the pagefile to operate (that being an mSATA SSD) People gave poor little Atoms too much crap simply not realizing they're storage-dependent. The Cherry Trail ones are pretty horrible though, at least on the low end. Good Atoms have ended with Bay Trail, i.e. the Z3735G. And Intel's ultra low power lineup hasn't been decent ever since. I guess, Pentiums N4050 and N5000 are true successors, but they haven't god the unrealized capabilities of their ancestor. And Core m series is too high end and too power-hungry to be a trues successor.

[@frokfrdk]

Yeah the fact that it's got only 1gb of ram, eMMC storage, and likely terrible cooling really didn't let this tablet shine, would like to see if it would be possible to mod this tablet in a way that can let it show its full power

[@AlexGFrank]

@@frokfrdk doubt it. Probably easier to buy a Thinkpad tablet with Z2720, that had proper storage, will really help it shine. And will probably make a decent ultraportable retro gaming device

True, Apple products are usable for a *LONG* time. The iPhone 6S, which mind you, came out in 2015, it got updates until iOS 15 came out about 2 years ago. You can still use the latest macOS on a 2009 MacBook, albeit with a few tweaks. Heck, with Linux, you can even use a PowerPC Mac from 2005 without many problems. For comparison: Let's take non-Apple products: The oldest Android phone that I think is still maintained is the Google Pixel 4, which came out only 4 years ago. Although, not everything is lost, as you can mod earlier Pixels (or even a Nexus 6) to run later version of Android. You'd have a hard time running Windows 11 on anything older than a 2011 Thinkpad. Even with Linux, you'd only probably get as far as a 2006 ThinkPad.

I won the iPad mini 2 in a raffle when I went on a field trip back in 2016. Never won anything like that before, so it was super cool and I have a lot of good memories with the mini 2. My mom also had the tab 3 back then, I remember how slow it was and the small storage lol

[@usamatahirkheli7492]

I still use Ipad mini 2 for yt and netflix. My Android 4.4 tab stopped supporting yt back in 2021.

i had an hp slate 7 back in 2013/2014 and back then i thought it broke when i accidentally broke the micro usb cable and i dont have it anymore. i then got a galaxy tab e lite or whatever in 2015??? then that broke in 2016. i then got an ipad mini 2. that broke after my 8 year old self dropped it face down on concrete. then i got a galaxy tab 4. that tablet was used until 2017 when i bought my first ipod touch. i never used a tablet again until now where i have a galaxy tab s6 lite

I used to have a black Galaxy Tab 3. It fried itself a couple years later or something like that, and I no longer have it 😔

I can't believe these products are 10 or 11 years old bloody hell time goes fast.

As someone who has a Nexus 7 (2013), I was quite surprised when I realized that you didn't choose it. I've ran Android 9 (LineageOS 16) on my Nexus 7 for years and someone even got Android 13 (LineageOS 21) running on it, although I haven't tried that yet.

I pretty much featured tablets I already owned

[@hexaheximal]

@@frokfrdk That would explain it, I guess.

I’m happy youtube recommended this,also is your weather widget working on yours, I couldn’t get mine to work on my tab 3 or note 3, and android was way better than you might of thought, just not with touchwiz

[@chrizzz769]
