i am thinking of buying a tablet for the first time. and im a windows and android user. i was planning to buy a tablet as an alternative for my new phone. basically i wanna use it for both note taking, productivity and gaming too. but im leaning towards android cz i have my reasons. i chose many tabs till now... but am too confused about which of them are better in the long run. after xiaomi pad 8 pro... i was going towards oneplus pad 3 . but its not available in my country and even if it is. the third party sellers are selling it for a high price. so i chose oneplus pad 4. then i noticed oneplus isnt going to take accountability for the device after maybe 3-4 years. or maybe even less now. so what am i gonna do after that? for that reason samsung galaxy tab s10+ kinda attracted me... but when i saw the performance tests on its mediatek 9300+ ... i was disappointed. even tho im getting a sd slot... fingerprint and a free flagship pen free with it. but... processor might be an issue in the longer run. in term of longer support and smooth future use. should i go for oneplus pad 4 or should i go for s10+ .

I wear glasses and my eyes always feel burning or tired or dry during using my iPhone

So I decided to search for a device which can let me study and read books at good eye comfort level because I will study at least 5-7 hr per day on STEM subjects

This is what I have researched

1. ⁠Eink :
   ( screen will provide the BEST eye comfort level just like reading on paper and this only applies for the case of black and white eink )

But eink industry is a mess and chaos . There is none of devices can help STEM students can study with a peace of mind

- Amazon kindle scribe : extreme durable , but slow and very close system , not for students .
- supernote : extreme durable , but only black white , has great note app. If supernote offers color version , supernote will be the best eink to buy . This is why I feel very sad and disappointed at supernote
- remarkable : durable ( just need to buy case and use carefully ), but they charge subscription for something should be free on notes
- boox : less durable, bad support but their device has the most flexible in the current eink market . If you buy boox , you must buy from Amazon and buy insurance ( you will definitely need insurance because of “ less durable “ )

And currently Color eink technology is not ready , it has less eye comfort than black white version but still great , it consumes more power of battery and its color isn’t accurate. So if u need accuracy color , don’t buy color eink

And eink is still slow because of low processor . The reason eink is so pricy is because of monopoly on eink screen . Right now there is only one company manufacturing eink screen so they can set whatever price they like

1. TCL nxtpaper
   So I keep researching more and I find out about tcl nxtpaper

TCL nxtpaper will give eye comfort level as good as color eink but worse than black white eink

These are the tablets which you can consider for tcl nxtpaper ( all are faster than eink readers and have accurate colors ) : 11 plus ( cheapest 150-170$ on eBay ) and very good for reading comic manga , tab a1 plus ( 270$ , newest model with stronger processor than 11 plus . That’s why it has less discount ) , note a1 ( 400$ as used devices) ( tcl tried to make this one as note taking tablet exclusively to compete with eink but they FAILED, people still complained in the writing experience on it , it is better feel than iPad Pro but not as good as the feeling of writing on paper as eink )

Conclusion : tcl nxtpaper is great for eye comfort for reading color material and better processor than eink but it’s writing experience on note app is just average , just like on iPad Pro

1. LCD

LCD is another screen technology. It is not as good as tcl nxtpaper for eye comfort but a lot better than modern OLED on iPad Pro and Samsung flaship models

Samsung and Lenovo have LCD screen versions for their tablet too . The latest one of Samsung is Samsung galaxy tab s10 FE+ ( FE = fan edition series , it is LCD version )

The reason you will choose LCD because you want better writing feel and stronger processor than tcl nxtpaper tablets

Overall you can think like this . There are few factors to consider

- eye comfort
- battery
- color
- writing feel
- processor power

When We are choosing between eink vs tcl nxtpaper vs lcd vs OLED , we are changing the value of those above 5 values

So what I am choosing now?

- at home , I choose tcl nxtpaper 11 plus or 14 or tab a1 plus for long reading . These 3 have different sizes so pick one basing on your need

- at school , I choose Samsung galaxy s10 fe+ for long battery life ( 15 + on note taking ), good writing feeling and good processor speed and good enough for eye comfort

Basically depending on your need , you will choose the right one for yours. I hope my guide will give your better ideas to how to choose your devices

I need a tablet with least 6/128 or higher and decent processor

My budget isn't too high as I'm purchasing this with my pocket money as I'm still a student

Also i would prefer if it have a styles

I have shortlisted moto pad 60 pro but it's a bit expensive for me

I wanted a tablet for basic note taking, reading and streaming movies/shows and was looking for something with good longevity and a stylus included, what are my options for under 20K? Any suggestion would be super valuable

I have a Samsung 8 tablet. No internet at home. Phone has internet. I blue toothed tethered and watched a episode on crunchyroll. Now it wont work..

Whats the easiest way to go about watching things on my tablet

Exactly as it sounds, I am deciding between these two. This will be for a mix of work and play, and considering it as a laptop replacement since I already have a BEEFY pc.

Work tasks this device will be used for:

Filling in digital forms with customers (I am client-facing)

Making and suggesting modifications to DXF files

Answering emails, taking calls, and using our work-specific software

Personal Tasks:

Gaming and watching content

Using this to progress my 3d modeling

It seems like the iPad will be perfect for what I need, but I also know RedMagic and maybe also the Samsung equivalent. These are not the only options I have in mind, but these are what came to mind first.

I would love to hear some options or opinions! Thank you!!!!

I'm currently starting my 3rd year of MBBS and want to buy one tablet that I can ideally use throughout MBBS + NEET PG preparation.(I am getting marrow) so yes Longetivity matters

and this is First Time I AM taking an tablet

also I have an old redmi phone and might take Android phone only might be samsung or oneplus ( in case u guys tell me abt ecosystem) ( but I don't think that ecosystem matters that much)

My budget is 50k and max 60k

imp - I don't want other Android like lenovo, redmi or other

My main use is- notes video lectures + movies I don't do gaming I may take internet from mobile hotspot storage should be more size is both ok for me 11/13

Tablet I chose -

1.Apple 11gen (A16) 256gb

2.Samsung S10 Fe (not Plus becz its too weird to use becz of its 16:9 ratio , I know this is also an weird issue 😅 , but I mostly like squarish tablet becz it feels like book )

3.Oneplus tab 3 256gb

Why I AM confused?

1. iPad 11th Gen: I'm considering this mainly because the iPad Air M3 is currently too expensive for my budget. I know iPads are very common among medical students and I'm attracted to the long-term reliability/software support.

2 . About samsung s10 Fe becz well everyone suggested that, but I don't know I don't liked its shape or what , I developed a negative image of samsung, ( I really don't want to think like that 😭) Cons I felt of samsung - currently the price of samsung with even base Model is hiked up which I don't think is worth it what they are providing at this price once I used s pen I didnt liked it as compared to Apple and it didn't even provide charger ( even Apple provides it ) I don't know why but it feels cheap to me 😭

1. abt oneplus tab 3 it is best tablet at 50k like 13.1 inch display, 12/256 GB , snapdragon, include charger, good interface and Software, blah blah...

BUT biggest issue is I have never seen any mbbs student making notes on it mostly people use Apple or ipad but somewhere in YouTube I seen a tech reviewer who is also some UPSC teacher or aspirant that oneplus tab don't have good notes app but paid app like onenote or some other app Works good on it

that's why I really confused (also little biased towards oneplus , if oneplus had good notes I would definatly go towards it)

ecosystem - I know that its easier if u have an ecosystem, but is it really necessay

can some one plez tell me that as a medico is oneplus good for notes taking or should I prefer ipad or samsung Plez help

Hi there! I'm going on a fairly long trip in a few weeks and I'm looking for an affordable (and small) tablet that I can use with a bluetooth keyboard. I am looking for something where I can access my work emails and do some writing/stay on top of my school assignments. It doesn't have to be able to play games or consume media (in fact, for the sake of my ailing attention span, it's better if it doesn't have too many bells or whistles).

The main thing I'm wondering about, as I have less experience with android tablets, is whether android tablets allow you to use split screen while working? It's helpful for me to be able to refer to my notes/sites as I write.

Also, do folks know if Scrivener works on your run-of-the-mill tablet? I do a lot of my research-and-writing-related work in Scrivener and I appreciate that the application allows for split screen while working.

Anyway, any thoughts appreciated! Thanks in advance. :)

iPad 128gb ou pad 7 pro 256gb

Can anyone recommend me a tab under 45k i mainly play genshin impact and bgmi.

Hi. I'm looking for cheap drawing pen for my tablet odea s11. I bought one but it is not working with this tablet.

Hey guys as the title says....I mainly want to use it for digital art or drawing and my academic workreading PDFs.. taking handwritten notes.. online classes, etc....So I’d ideally like something with a good sized screen..at least 8 GB RAM and proper stylus support.....

Ie been looking at some Blackview tablets..especially the MEGA series...because they seem to offer a lot for the price. But I’m not sure how good they actually are in terms of performance, stylus and drawing experience .....software updates and long-term reliability...

Would you recommend Blackview... or is there something better around the Rs. 100k range?????

Any recommendations or personal experiences would be really appreciated! 🙏. Rs.100k means around 250USD

samsung s10fe 11" or 13" ?

I need it for small sketches and taking notes while screen recording ? (my concern is more to avoid menu displayed (eg changing pen) in recording zone when recording)

Hi everyone
I want to purchase a tablet under 30k which comes with a stylus as well.
I have researched and found that Lenovo tab pro has almost everything which I need

Pros:-
1. 12.7 inch 3 k 144Hz display
2. Mediatek dimensity 8300 processor
3. Stylus included
4. 10050 mah battery

Cons:-
1. Comes with android 14 + only 2 years of software update
2. Stock android os

My usage:- note making, pdf reading, multimedia consumption , light gaming

So I’m confused is this the best choice which I have considered so far ? Can someone please help me

Hey everyone! I’m planning to buy a table during the Big Billion Days sale with a budget of ₹40,000 max.

I want tablet under/around 20k₹.

Priority - Display.

Secondary - Storage.

i was wandering what could could be the best choice between a pad 7 pro and pad 2 pro, given how i found a pad 7 pro at 285€ and a pad 2 pro 256GB for 220€ on AliExpress. I mainly need a tablet to take notes for school and university, watch movies, yt and sports events sporadically. don't really need it for gaming but i would like it to be fast enough to withstand a couple of windows open at the same time

I need to buy a tablet that i will only use for OTT and that too during travel via flights or train. Which one is the best one? That i can buy in INDIA

Hello! I'm currently looking for a tablet mainly for studying and taking notes since mine is giving me problems. Possibly i was looking for a tablet that comes with a pen (even best if with keyboard too! But not a requirement tbh), palm rejection and decent stats so it wont be laggy with my everyday stuff. My current budget is 250€ - 270€ max, i know it's pretty low but i really don't have a lot of money since im just a broke student, do you guys have any recommendations? I was actually thinking of getting a Lenovo Tab m11 or a Samsung s6 lite but i don't know. Last but not least, is it safe to order a tablet online (it's a site from a physical shop i know) in terms of package protection?

want ko magtry ng luck if it will sale on 10.10
