    See other variants reviews Score: 66.3 / 100

Microsoft Surface 3 is an amazing portable tablet launched back in 2015, equipped with a 10.8 inches screen, a very powerful 1600 MHz Quad-Core processing unit, and two cameras, an 8 megapixels back side camera and a 3.5 MP front camera.

Microsoft equipped the Microsoft Surface 3 with a Intel Atom x7 Z8700 system chip, which holds a high-tech Quad-Core processing unit speeding at 1.6 GHz and a big 4 GB RAM memory. The Microsoft Surface 3 counts with an excellent 128 GB internal storage memory and whereas it doesn't have a slot for external memory cards, it it is more than enough to install hundreds of applications and even the heaviest games available nowadays without even thinking about how much storage is left.

The Microsoft Surface 3 is only 10.51 inches long and 7.36" wide, but it manages to hold a 10.8" display. This device is incredibly slim, with a thickness of just 0.34 inches. The Microsoft Surface 3 is a bit heavy comparing with today standards, weighting 21.92 oz.

The Microsoft Surface 3 features two cameras, an 8 MP back side camera and a 3.5 mega-pixels front-facing camera. It is capable of shooting videos in Full HD 1920x1080.

The Microsoft Surface 3 is equipped with a interesting 10.8" screen with a 1920 x 1280 resolution, making everything look very nice.

The Microsoft Surface 3 features WiFi capability (but it can't provide it to other devices acting as a hotspot), 4G LTE high performance data connection and 3G fast connectivity, supported by HSPA and HSUPA technologies. This tablet works with a Nano SIM card to use GSM services.

This tablet also includes some interesting characteristics like Bluetooth and GPS Navigation, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This device is not a very good choice considering it is priced $ 375, and many similar devices are being sold much cheaper than that. No matter if you want it for gaming, want it majorly for internet broswing and social networks, need it for work or you love taking photos, you will definitely be very satisfied with this tablet.
