The release date is the date the product was first available for purchase, which is often a while after the manufacturer officially announces a product.
The people have spoken! But are they worth listening to?
Sortable considers not only how highly reviewed a product is, but also how many reviews it has received to boil down a single number that tells you your odds of getting a lemon.

battery life
An estimate of how long a single battery charge will last, on average
This measure is very subjective! For instance, some usage patterns such as watching high-definition video and heavily relying on 3G/4G will reduce the amount of time you have on a single charge.

high PPI
The diagonal size of a display is the distance between two opposite corners of the screen.
Note that two screens can have the same diagonal size but have different lengths and widths if the screens have different aspect ratios.
For example a 15" screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio will actaully measure 12" x 9", whereas a 15" screen with a 16:9 aspect ration will measure 13.1" x 7.4"
Detects small changes in electric current when touched with your bare hand. Note capacitive screens cannot detect a touch when the user is wearing gloves. If this poses a problem, you can use a special capacitive stylus.
The native screen resolution. The native resolution will display the largest, clearest, least distorted image, at the higest refresh rate.
Screen PPI, or Pixels per Inch, is a measure of how sharp an image the screen will display. More PPI means that there are more pixels packed tightly together on the screen.
The formula used to calculate PPI from a screen's resoultion and size is:
Where H is the horizontal resolution, V is the vertical resolution, and D is the diagonal size of the screen
On very high PPI screens, text may be rendered smaller and be more difficuilt to read.

lots of ram
Internal storage is used to keep your applications, music, videos and data files. Obviously, the larger your internal storage, the more of these things you can have on your tablet.
8 GB is more than enough storage for someone who simply browses the web, stores photos and a few short videos.
However, someone who has an extensive music collection or many full-length movies should consider a bigger tablet, such as a 64 GB model or bigger.

light sensor
A sensor that receives satellite signals to provide longitude, latitude, altitude and time information.
A sensor that is able to detect motion as well as the orientation of a device (for example, holding a device vertically as opposed to horizontally).
A sensor that determines orientation and rotation. Devices with a gyroscope typically provide more accurate 3D motion tracking than those with just an accelerometer.
A sensor that determines direction facing relative to North, East, West and South. Consumer electronics typically implement a compass using a magnetometer, which measures magnetic fields.
A sensor that measures ambient light levels. Devices with an ambient light sensor will dim the screen when you're in a dark location; and brighten the screen when you're in a bright location. This makes it easier for you to see the screen comfortably in all locations.

fast benchmark
Tablets with two or more cores are very fast and can handle processing-intense tasks such as video playback and gaming more readily than single-core tablets. They also consume battery power faster.
Clock speed is related to the number of operations a processor can complete in a second. For a particular processor, increasing the clock speed (known as overclocking) will increase the performance of the processor at the cost of using more electricity and generating more heat.
Care should be taken to not compare processors from different manufactures, or even different families, on clock speed alone since clock speed is only one of many factors that can influence the performance of the processor. Software performance benchmark measurements are a better way to compare performance.

Twisted nematic (TN) is a subtype of thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT LCD).
It is relatively inexpensive and also the most common type of screen. However, the viewing angle on TN displays is very limited. Colors appear to shift as the viewing angle increases.
In-plane switching (IPS) is a subtype of thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT LCD).
It is designed to have better viewing angle and color reproduction than TN screens.
Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) screens provide better viewing angles, improved contrast, better power efficiency and faster response times. However they are currently more expensive (than LCD) to produce, have a shorter lifetime and are susceptible to image burn in.
