Christmas came a little early with this little tablet. For my use case this is the perfect entertainment machine!

I haven’t seen people posting about this tablet so drop your questions if you have any.

I’m trying to decide between these two tablet setups and could use some advice. My two main use cases are heavy mobile emulation (Switch, pc, etc.) and studying (note-taking, reading, multitasking). Here are the specs/deals I’m looking at: * Option A: Xiaomi Pad 7 (12GB RAM / 256GB storage) with keyboard for $370 (or without a keyboard for $355) * Option B: Xiaomi Pad 8 (8GB RAM / 256GB storage) with keyboard for $450 The dilemma is basically more RAM (12GB) on the Pad 7 for a lower price, versus the newer generation chip/hardware on the Pad 8, but limited to 8GB RAM, all with an $80 price difference.

Which one makes more sense long-term? Is the Pad 8 upgrade worth losing 4GB of RAM and paying $80 more? Would love to hear your thoughts or experiences with either device!

Bottom Line

Budget pick: Moto Pad 70 Pro — same chip as Honor, bigger screen, similar price.

Performance pick: OnePlus Pad 4 — SD 8 Elite Gen 5 is a full tier above everything else here, but it's heavier and pricier.

Screen pick: Huawei MatePad 12 or Asus Pad — OLED brightness and contrast are on another level. Huawei is lighter and has 12GB RAM, but no Google services. Asus has the brightest panel but weaker chip and smaller battery.

Honor Pad 20 Pro sits in the middle: not the fastest, not the cheapest, but the best mix of light weight, 165Hz smoothness, and fast 66W charging for a tablet you carry daily.

I bought honor pad 20 pro from ksa for inr equivalent 57k which is best bet for me

I saw multiple post asking which is good

I have no idea about apple ipads so didnt mention them

It is ai generated but inputs are from my side

If i am wrong correct me

I am impressed with how my honor pad performs

I hope this post helps

I already have a drawing tablet, but it's the kind that needs a pc to power it on. I've been thinking of getting just a regular android tablet so I can draw on the go. I'm eyeing on a Redmi Pad 2 but I wanna know some other good brands!

Does anyone know if Brave Ark tablets are water-resistant and how many years of software updates they will receive?

Hello,

I'm looking to get a tablet as a very light desktop pc replacement.

I have a 7 year old HP laptop that I barely even use anymore because I have consoles for gaming and a phone for web browsing and messaging.

I only use the laptop when I need to read a pdf, write something in word or sign any documents with online signature, pay bills...basically light desk work.

I've been looking around and apparently tablets can handle multitasking and light document editing quite well nowadays, if I can buy a bluetooth keyboard as well, I'm guessing that it will fullfill all my pc needs for the foreseeable future and will be much easier to carry around with me around the house and on trips.

My candinates are the

Lenovo idea tab 11" (8/128) with the bundled pen for 200 euro

Xiaomi redmi pad 2 (8/256) for 230 - 250 euro

Samsung galaxy tab A11+ (8/256) for 300 euro

I do not care that much for watching series and movies on the tablet for hours on end so vibrant screen and amazing audio aren't priorities.

I'm looking for something that can comfortably have 5 browser windows open minimized and out of sight, have music playing from youtube again minimized, an open pdf in one side of the screen and an open word file so I can write documents in another side.

I'm heavily leaning towards the samsung galaxy because it also has Dex which basically transforms the UI into a mouse and keyboard interface with floating windows like a pc but I'm also thinking that there could be some cheaper like the lenovo that could do the same things with less money.

What is everyone's opinion about tablets as light workstations?

Do you have any other recommendations at around the same price and maximum at 350 euro?

Thank you.

Help me choose a good tablet with excellent performance, no lagging, freezing, or hanging, good battery life, durability, display quality, long-term reliability, included accessories, and value for money. I want a tablet that will last at least five years without noticeable performance issues.

My usage: Professional work and note-taking.

Here are the options I’m considering:

1. Xiaomi Pad 8 – ₹35,000
2. Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ – ₹43,000
3. OnePlus Pad 2 – ₹38,000
4. Brave Ark – ₹33,000
5. Lenovo Idea Tab Plus – ₹31,500
6. Motorola Pad 70 Pro – ₹33,000

Which one should I choose? I’m mainly deciding between the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ and the Brave Ark.

My family already owns a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+, and our experience with it has been excellent. On the other hand, the Brave Ark has impressive specifications on paper and includes all the necessary accessories in the box.

I’m looking for a tablet that offers reliable long-term performance, smooth multitasking, excellent note-taking capabilities, good battery life, and a quality display. I also want something durable that will remain usable for at least five years.

Please help me choose the best option based on performance, software support, durability, display quality, battery life, note-taking experience, included accessories, and overall value for money.

If you know of any better alternatives in this price range, please recommend those as well.

I am looking for a free NOTES MAKING app that supports features of STYLO PRO stylus for oneplus pad 4.

Pls suggest some

Hi!

Currently in the market for a tablet. I never had one before so I have no point of reference, but after browsing for a while I think I decided on what I need and selected a few picks.

My main use case will be "whatever I usually do on my phone while in bed / on the couch, but more comfortable": reading books and manga, web browsing, watching videos, light gaming (the heaviest game I'd run would be Genshin Impact and only when I'm away from the computer for a few days, I normally game on PC).

I settled on 11" displays because the smaller options look like they would be too small (the RedMagic Astra caught my eye but it's not much bigger than my phone so it does not feel like a worthy investment) and bigger options are not comfortable to handle (I already have a PC and laptop, I'm looking for a better "screen size to handleability" ratio). I considered the Samsung S10 FE but it looks underpowered for its price and it's starting to get old now, and the S11 is just too expensive for what it offers compared to the options below.

Right now I am torn between 3 models which are all priced between 650 and 780 euros depending on options and offers. To me each one has pros and cons, and I can't make up my mind, so I'm looking for real-life-use feedback if anyone has any:

- Lenovo Yoga Tab Gen 2 11"

This one is a new model so probably won't have many reviews yet. I went for this one over the previous gen option because of the upgraded SoC, battery and display mainly. This one looks like it has the best battery life and a pretty good screen, at the cost of a worse SoC and only 8GB of RAM (no 12GB model in France). So I'm curious if the RAM and performance are enough. It also looks quite thick but that may actually be good for me since I have big hands.

- Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro

This one has slightly less battery life than the Lenovo, but a much better SoC and the option for a matte display (which may make up for the lack of brightness). The main downside is there is no pen included, so the lower price is not actually that low if you want it (I'm not sure if I need it though). To me it looks like the best compromise so far so this is the one I'm leaning towards the most. I know the Pad 9 is coming, but from what I've seen, the regular 9 will have a worse SoC for similar specs otherwise, and the 9 Pro will be too big for me.

- Honor MagicPad 4

This one mainly stands out because it has an OLED display, and because the screen-to-body ratio allows it to have a 12.3" display while not being much bigger. The SoC also looks pretty good and the price is very reasonable especially since it comes bundled with the pen and a keyboard (latter of which I don't need). However the biggest downside seems to be the battery life. I don't know how comparable their tests are to real life use, but notebookcheck rates the MagicPad 4 at almost half the battery life of the other two, which is a massive dealbreaker if true, I don't want to constantly have to charge. OLED may be good, but modern IPS panels are far from bad, and I don't know if I can justify halving the battery life for it. Is the battery really that noticeably low? It also looks very thin which worries me, is it fragile and does it get too hot?

- For all 3

How is the user experience with the Android skins of each brand? So far I'm mainly used to Samsung's UI, and I used to have a Huawei phone so I assume the Honor UI will be close, no clue about Xiaomi and Lenovo though. I'd like as little bloat as possible.

Thank you for any feedback and advice you may give.

Greetings, I thought I wouldn't mind the customization options too much when buying this tablet. But I didn't know Lenovo was so restrictive. So I'm looking for ideas, would you like to share your own homescreens? Now that I think about it, I wish I had bought a Xiaomi.

Buenas, quiero alguna recomendación de alguna tablet (ya sea x temu, aliexprees). Quiero para regalar a mi papa ( k sirva para ver videos y documentos). Confirmen si es verdad k tienen k tener como mínimo de 6gb de Ram y 128gb, me dicen k es para k vaya fluido las apps me dijeron. Gracias de antemano.

I bought this Lenovo Yoga Tab Plus and the virtual keyboard keeps popping up when having the physical keyboard connected and the "on screen keyboard" is inactive. It's extremely annoying. I can't even hide it, when I start typing it shows up again. Can anyone help me with this one? I hate this (writing with physical keyboard connected)

Edit: I just found out that it doesn't pop up when I delete the "handwriting" input option, which is more annoying because it's the method I like when I don't have my keyboard attached.

I apologize if this was answered before. I tried internet search, Reddit search and asking AI, but couldn't find the answer.

I got a Legion Legion Tab Gen 5 on sale and am enjoying it immensely, but I just have one small thing I wanted to change:

When unlocking the tablet, how can I set it to resume the app I had open when the tablet was locked? For example, if I had a book open in a reader app and the screen locks, when I unlock it the app is closed/minimized, so I have to re-open it. How do I set it to resume the app that was open?

Unlocking with the open app is default behavior on my phone (Galaxy S25) and my old tablet (Galaxy Tab S6 Lite running LineageOS), but I can't seem to find a way to set it on this tablet.

AI gave instruction for Screen Pinning and App Locking, but neither of those is the solution.

Thank you for any help!

Wondering if this tablet will function properly
In Australia?

Wifi only, will probably just be a Roblox / Fortnite / YouTube device for my daughter

Thankyou!
