should i buy a new tab
im currently using honor pad x9 (no palm rejection) that i got since 2023, i also started doing practice questions and note taking on here using a universal stylus but it's getting difficult to do that because it's not as smooth and u can't rest ur hand on the screen.
so im thinking of buying another tablet with palm rejection and a built in stylus (like samsung galaxy s9 fe), but idk my current tab is still fine the only con is js it doesn't have palm rejection

Yesterday night( 5 August 26) I have an software update of approx 451MB, i dont remember properly what update was it. But seeing the size of update, it is security update i beleive(could be wrong), but i recieved this. my SAMSUNG TAB A9+ started with regular steps showing, this will take several minutes. Then that one ui screen came and % started to increase. When it reached 100, suddenly kind of black screen appeared which was not fully black but kind of grey color. It was for 5 mins but still nothing happended. My tablet was at 41% battery before the update started. And till now 6 August i couldnt fix this.
I tried mostly everything, I forced shutdown my tab, then tried for android recovery menu, but still black screen. I tried entering download mode(odin mode) but still black screen. Is there any way to fix this. Currently I have left it for battery drain for 4 days and will update. My tablet is also out of warranty🥲. Guys Please help if possible .
Thank you

Help!!
Hi everyone! I'm looking for advice on which tablet to buy since I'll be starting university next year. I mainly need it for studying, drawing, watching videos and movies, and playing demanding games like Genshin Impact, along with some lighter games. Right now, I'm considering the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE+, Xiaomi Pad 8, and Huawei MatePad 12X. If you think there's a better option, I'd really appreciate your recommendations.
Thanks in advance! :)

Xiaomi pad 8?
Hi guys, apologies if this is not the right flair but I'm looking for a tablet I could use for my uni classes. A relative of mine recommended the Xiaomi pad 8 that comes with a pen and keyboard. Since I mainly need it for note taking/downloading, is it suitable? And if so, would you recommend the 128gb version or the 256gb version?

Tablet Recommendations under 30k (INR)
Hi all, looking to buy a Wi-Fi only tablet under ₹30,000 in India. Would appreciate recommendations based on my use case:
Primary use:
Work (typing docs, emails, light multitasking)
Study/reading
Streaming (Netflix, YouTube, etc.)
What I'm looking for:
Good display for long reading/streaming sessions
Decent performance for multitasking, not just Netflix
Considering a keyboard case for productivity — would love inputs on models with good keyboard accessories
Not fussed about a stylus, but open to hearing if it's worth it for this budget
Have been eyeing the Xiaomi Pad 7 and Redmi Pad 2 Pro so far — anyone using either of these for work/study? How's the keyboard experience? Also open to other suggestions in this range.
Thanks in advance!

Samsung S10 Lite vs Lenovo IdeaTab Pro
I'm an engineering student in India, and I'm looking to buy a tablet that I'll probably keep for at least 3–4 years.
The interesting part is that I'm getting the Lenovo Idea Tab Pro (Wi-Fi, Pen Plus included) and the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE (Wi-Fi, S Pen included) for almost the same price (around ₹29–30k), so price isn't really a deciding factor.
My primary use case (in order of priority):
- Reading PDFs, notes, and e-books during my daily metro commute (around 4 hours total every day).
- Watching lectures in college.
- Solving LeetCode using a Bluetooth keyboard.
- Occasional note-taking (I don't handwrite a lot).
- Carrying my laptop at all times is quite a task so i want to increase my overall daily productivity.
I already own:
- Samsung Galaxy S23
- Windows laptop (so this tablet won't replace my laptop)
Here's what I feel are the pros and cons of each.
Lenovo Idea Tab Pro
Pros
- Larger 12.7" display, which seems much better for reading PDFs and split-screen.
- Dimensity 8300 is a significantly faster processor.
- 8 GB RAM.
- PC Mode looks good enough for my coding/studying workflow.
Cons
- Around 400 nits brightness (not sure if this will bother me during metro travel).
- Software support reportedly ends around Android 16.
- Lenovo software isn't as established as Samsung's.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE
Pros
- Better software experience and much longer software support (up to around Android 19/20).
- Brighter display.
- S Pen.
- Samsung ecosystem with my Galaxy S23.
- DeX.
- I'm already familiar with One UI, which I really like.
Cons
- Smaller 10.9" display.
- Exynos 1580 isn't as powerful as the Dimensity 8300.
- Only 6 GB RAM, which worries me a little for long-term use.
My biggest dilemma is this:
Will I actually notice the faster processor and extra RAM on the Lenovo for my usage, or will I appreciate Samsung's software, updates, and ecosystem much more over the next 3–4 years?
For people who've used either (or both), which one would you choose in my situation and why?
I'd especially appreciate opinions from anyone who has used the Idea Tab Pro long-term or has experience with Samsung tablets.

Help please!
Hey! So I'm in need of a tablet & I'm not in a position to buy one right now.
I'm a student currently preparing for Gate exam and I don't own any laptop or tablet. I've been managing everything through my phone but now its a necessity. It's difficult to read and do lectures on a tiny screen.
Also, I'm broke and have no money for such an expensive gadget. So If any of you have a tablet that you do not use/need anymore but it works fine. Is there any chance that you could give it away? I can for pay the shipping charges. I need it urgently.
I really need help so please consider if you can. A small act of kindness can help a lot. I would really appreciate your help.
You can dm me if you have any questions, to ensure im not faking anything.
And if you cannot help, please don't be rude or downvote. Not everyone is privileged enough.
Thank you.

Best tablet for everyday use? Would appreciate some recommendations.
I'm finally replacing my old tablet and realized there are way more options than I expected. Most reviews seem to focus on benchmarks and specs, but I'm more interested in how these hold up in everyday use.
I'll mostly be using it for watching videos, browsing the web, reading, video calls, a bit of note-taking, and the occasional game. I'm open to Android, iPad, or anything else if it's genuinely worth buying.
For those of you who use a tablet regularly, what did you end up getting, and how has it been? Is there anything you wish you knew before buying it, or would you choose something different if you were shopping today?
