Multimedia Internet Devices (MID). Part one. Five inch
After this discussion, I came to the conclusion that many, like myself, are currently in search of the most suitable “pill” (MID). In this regard, I decided to share the information collected, and for one and put everything together.
I will make a reservation right away:
1) only tablets with android on board and a screen size of at least 4.3 inches will be described below (I do not consider tablets with 4.3 inch screens);
2) I have never held any of the devices described below in my hands, used only open sources, so some information may be false.
