Android tablets are devices that I don't know a lot about. I've seen plenty of them around, but I haven't seen many people actually use them, but I've seen plenty of iPads and sometimes Surfaces out in the wild. Many large Android manufacturers have tried, like Samsung and Huawei, but reception to them seems lurkwarm at best.

Tablets, to me, are more of media consumption devices than productivity devices. So, I guess the questions of the week would be, what is your experiences with Android tablets, and what are some features you are looking for in an Android tablet to make it worth buying?

I've tried Android Tablets for 15 years now, And the best Tablet I've ever used is my iPad, it has more power than I'll ever know what to do with with software support that I could only dream of.

However there are things I still can only do on Android, and for that I am using my trusty and slowly dying Samsung Galaxy Tab s5e.

What I love about it as a regular user is

light weight for it's size
Good Speakers
FireFox + Ublock origin

some Advance user features I love are

USB-C Video out for those apps I want on the big screen
AMOLED for those inky blacks. Watching streaming content on it is a dream
Side loading support, like apps that let me force the display to a 16:9 aspect ratio for my TV

My only complaint is that the Power is not enough for modern day content consumption. And that it doesn't have a headphone jack.

The only reason I prefer my iPad is that the software support for the official apps I use like Disney Plus and Kobo are better supported and run better on it. However until Apple allows side loading or lets FireFox to actually use anything other than webkit, I will probably have a tablet like this near by when I want a screen without a keyboard.

I feel if I had to buy a new one and I didn't care about the some of my advance user features the FE edition of the Samsung Tablets seem like a good deal.
