If the Tab S11 bid is excessively pricey, this is an casual mode to prevention and inactive get a precise almighty Android tablet; they're truly not that disimilar from the latest models.

The built-in kickstand is fantabulous and should beryllium modular connected each tablets. It's not the snappiest, but the show was much than adequate.

It's brainsick that Lenovo would let that benignant of garbage to amusement up, but the casual hole is to uninstall each the bloatware.

The 12.1-inch surface isn't arsenic big, and show is simply a tiny measurement beneath owed to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset inside. Still, that's plentifulness almighty to grip astir apps and games. You'll person a hard clip uncovering accessories (like the keyboard), but if the Pad 3 is excessively pricey, this one's not a atrocious buy.

Honor MagicPad 2 for £360: This classy tablet is not sold successful the US. Quite akin to the OnePlus Pad 2 we urge above, it boasts a genuinely gorgeous OLED show with awesome specs (3K resolution, 1,600 nits, 144-Hz refresh rate) that are mostly unavailable astatine this price. Paired with the 8 speakers, watching movies and gaming connected this tablet is simply a pleasure.

I recovered Honor’s AI features, similar Magic Portal, which gets bully astatine predicting what you privation to do, precise useful, possibly much truthful connected a tablet than a phone. Battery beingness is good, and charging is speedy (66 watts). The lone existent weakness present is the constricted processing power, which can’t lucifer thing similar an iPad (though you volition wage a batch much for an equivalent Apple device). —Simon Hill
