Android Tablets
Android tablets make the most sense when you want more price flexibility and a clearer spread from entry-level through to premium. That is what makes them such a good fit for buyers who do not automatically want to pay iPad money.
At the more affordable end, Android is a very practical route for streaming, browsing, email, shopping and simple app use. It also makes a lot of sense for family sharing; second screens and lighter use around the house.
At the stronger end of the range, Samsung tablets bring Android much closer to a productivity and note-taking brief. That is where features such as larger displays, better durability and included S Pen support start to make the upgrade feel more obvious.
