Honestly, I’m baffled by the tablet market. Everyone puts out underpowered devices. Even Google! How can you, in good faith, justify a tablet having a slower processor and less memory than a phone while trying to advertise it as the superior device, perfect for editing and whatnot?
This was clearly written by someone ignoring new tablets, especially from china.
My main working device is a xiaomi pad.
Huawei says, “Let me introduce you to The Fold.”
Android tablets anyway. Has there ever been a good one?
Get an iPad, there isn’t a bad one, just less good ones. The $300 (or $330) base iPad is still better than like 95% of Android tablets, it can run Procreate, and it gives you access to the App Store. Nothing wrong with running an Android phone and an iPad. A lot of bloggers do it and recommend it, it’s a good “best of both worlds” scenario, especially if you’re into custom firmware on the Android side and tablet support is much less than it is on phones… might as well diversify at that point. Kind of like how if you’re gonna get a PC, you maybe want Windows for gaming, but for a laptop, you’d be a fool to not just get a MacBook for its performance and battery life. Laptop gaming is streaming anyway, both platforms do it just fine. And again, there really aren’t great PC laptops, and if they are, they’re hard to find.
What constitutes good? And what makes an iPad good? I had an iPad pro about 4 years ago and I hated it and its’ idiotic appleisms. People were paroting that iPad is the way to go back then as well and I fell for it. I switched to a Samsung Tab S7+ and couldn’t be happier. I still use it daily, it does everything I need it to do and it does it better than the iPad.
I’ve had my ipad for 6 years and still feels new. Still gets updates.
Has there ever been a good one?
The original nexus 7 was pretty good (for the first few years of its life)
I have a Samsung Tab S7 that I still use and like. It’s great for watching Plex and YouTube ReVanced, and I even use the Samsung Notes app with its S Pen. The bummer is Samsung will seemingly never update the OS on it again, so it’s stuck on Android 13. There are custom builds of LineageOS I could try, but apparently those break S Pen support.
I had the Huawei Mediapad M3 and M5 tablets. They were great hardware wise. Wish the bootloader was unlockable.
