as the title states, I'm a student looking for a tab to take notes daily and occasionally watch movies with a good battery life. I've only ever used paper so I don't know what specifications to consider.

I want to go for the Lenovo xiaoxin pad 11. I want to ask for your experience using this mainly if there's proper palm rejection, the latency, the writing experience. Also how's the touch sensitivity etc.

Searching for the cheapest OLED tablet for heavy youtube premium consume and web browsing.
Long update support is a must.

Considering the Honor Magic Pad 4. what do you recommend?

Hello everyone. I’m looking for some advice regarding my Xiaomi Redmi Pad.

After charging it for more than 5 hours and seeing it stuck at only 45%, I noticed a small deformation on the side of the tablet, located just to the right of the camera. It made me wonder if this could be related to the battery, maybe it’s starting to swell.

I’ve always used the original charger, but during the last two charging attempts, it never reached 100%. Even after hours, it was still halfway. My temporary solution has been to use a different charger, and with that one it charges normally again (around three hours). Still, the deformation worries me, and I’m afraid the battery might be expanding.

If anyone has experience with this or could share an opinion, I’d really appreciate it. Thank you.

I literally just need the cheapest most rinky dink tablet that can read PDFs, that's all. No apps, no youtube, no nothing, just PDFs. I just need something that i can read books and eReaders are more expensive than i thought so getting the cheapest android table possible is the more financialy viable option for me.

I’m based in India and my budget is around ₹35,000–₹45,000. I’m considering the Xiaomi Pad 8 (12GB/256GB).
If you’ve been using it for a while, how has your experience been? Any problems with HyperOS, battery, heating, or the Focus Pen? I’ll mainly use it for studying, note-taking, PDFs, and media consumption.
Would you recommend it for this use case and budget, or would you suggest a better alternative in this price range?
Thanks!

Help me. I have a xiaoxin (lenovo) pad pro 2021 TB-J17F tablet. It is currently broken, I suspect the damaged touchscreen display. But I am still having trouble finding TB-J716F spare parts, there are some but the price is quite expensive to import from China. Many sell Lenovo P11 Pro 2020 spare parts code TB-J706F at a more affordable price. My question is, can the touchscreen display used by TB-J706F be applied to TB-J716F? Because I see that both dimensions are exactly the same, the only difference is the maximum hz produced. Please help for those who know. Thanks

Can someone help me with this tablet it's stuck on this screen and I can't get out of it.

It runs on early version of Android, and I’m trying to figure out on any custom rom that can install on this tablet. Just messing around with this device as idk what to do with it as it’s obsolete.

24 GB RAM, Dimensity 8300 chip, and 256 GB, plus you can expand the storage with a microSD card.

I need a small tablet for my 94-year-old mom. It will act as a dedicated audiobook-playing device with Homer Audio Book app.

I need an inexpensive tablet that either has an
- ability to set up double tap to wake or
- magnetic cover that will wake up the tablet on opening

I bought a 7" tablet off Amazon for $40 but it does not have tap-to-wake settings and the power button is too small for my mom to press, so it needs more "automatic" on/of

I’m due for surgery later this summer, and will be laid up for three weeks, minimum. I’m searching for a refurbished Wi-Fi-only Android tablet that has Google Play for around $150. I can’t really afford anything more, with the imminent medical bills.

Does anyone have any suggestions for what I should look for? This will primarily for games.

I want to start drawing on a tablet on a budget, what is my best bet?

I can buy a:

Galaxy Tab S10 lite for €269/306$

Galaxy Tab S10 FE for €399/455$

Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ for €539/614$

€550 is my max budget, less is better (getting married).

I would also like to do some video editing, just for fun. But I'm fanatical when I try something new.

Only thing I don't like is the build quality and the screen of the FE editions, but that's what they are about ofcourse (My grandma's old Tab S2 feels better).

Is the price hike between them worth it? Are they good for drawing and video editing?

And are they good for (for me) secondary usecases like watching movies and reading magazines and articles?

Are there any other brands I should look at?

I don't want to have pricey tab, I'm looking for large storage, pdf organising, smooth and clean note making with lots of features under budget. Ive heard ipad is best for that glitchfree hand writing experience but I cant afford that rn so im looking for similar features under 20k. I'm going to use it mainly for studying and practicing. There are lots of options and idk which one would be good. Kindly give me some suggestions guys.

Just ordered the Lenovo Tab gen 5 for 650 usd. Did I make a mistake? Should I return it and get something else?

Looking for a future-proof Android/Linux tablet that can still be rooted years from now

I’m looking to buy a new tablet mainly for media consumption. I’m open to Android, Linux, unusual brands, and even niche devices.

My biggest requirement is long-term control over the device.

Main requirements

• Must run Android or Linux
• If it runs Android, it must be rootable
• Must have USB-C
• Must be available new
• Price should be as low as reasonably possible
• Screen should ideally be 2K or 4K
• I can accept Full HD if the better options are too expensive or otherwise unsuitable
• It should handle all current streaming services smoothly and ideally remain capable for years
• As much RAM as possible for the price
• Storage capacity does not matter much
• Screen size does not matter
• Battery life does not matter much because it will usually be used near an outlet

What I mean by “rootable”

I do not need rooting to be easy, and I may never root the device unless it becomes necessary.

However, rooting must remain realistically possible years from now.

For example:

• An unlock process that depends on requesting a temporary manufacturer code would not be ideal, because the company could stop providing codes in the future.
• A permanent unlock code that I can request now and safely back up would be acceptable.
• Standard bootloader unlocking through Fastboot or another offline method would be ideal.
• A device that requires obscure hardware modifications, unavailable proprietary tools, or a currently active manufacturer server would probably not qualify.
• I am willing to follow a difficult technical process, but it should not be nearly impossible.

The reason this matters is that Google or a manufacturer could eventually block access to apps I use, such as Mihon. I want to avoid ending up with another locked-down device that still works physically but can no longer run useful software.

I still have a functional iPad 3, but I no longer use it because I cannot install Linux, reliably jailbreak it, or install modern apps.

Performance

The tablet should be able to:

• Stream high-resolution content without stuttering
• Remain usable for media consumption for several years
• Ideally play downloaded 4K video files smoothly

The last point is preferred but not mandatory.

Nice-to-have features

• Fast charging
• Strong custom ROM or Linux community support
• Good hardware video decoding
• Plenty of RAM
• Replaceable or unlockable software with no dependence on manufacturer servers

Budget and alternatives

I want the cheapest device that reasonably meets these requirements. I do not have a fixed maximum budget yet because I want to understand what the realistic options are.

keep in mind that a version of this text was pasted into chatgpt, and it's best pick was OnePlus Pad 3, and while the price is way above what i was expecting, i was ready to consider it, thing is, it's kind hard to find to buy on a big store, it does not exist on amazon or best buy, and i would love to pick up by hand before buying. and i would like to buy on a big store so warranty process is easier if anything goes wrong.

it does concern me that one plus pad 4 is about to come, and it also concern me if i cannot find this device how would spare parts and fixing this be on the future if ever needed be.

Ps: English is not my first language so i did use AI to make it easier to read, i hope it improved readability instead of worsting it.

"I'm setting up an Android tablet for a family member who mostly needs it for work. The main tasks are updating spreadsheets, editing documents, reviewing PDFs, and occasionally making small changes to presentations.

I've been looking at WPS Office since it seems to support the common Microsoft Office formats without needing a subscription for basic use.

If you've been using WPS Office on Android, has it been a good experience? I'd love to know if there are any limitations worth knowing before I get everything set up."

I’ve been using an older tablet that struggles with drawing apps and a few games, so I’m thinking about switching to a Samsung tablet. I mostly want good screen quality, decent performance, and support for a stylus. What would you consider the best samsung tablet for this kind of use?

I’m a little lost between the different Galaxy Tab models and would love to hear from people who actually use them. Thank you for the help.

Same as above
