I've played a fewer hours of Kingshot with nary issues, though the backmost of the tablet gets rather warm. I besides edited respective RAW photos from my mirrorless camera connected Lightroom Classic. My main qualms? Nubia's bundle isn't my favourite (it's not my favourite design, and there's a batch of bloatware). And the institution is lone promising 1 OS update and 2 years of information updates, and that's unspeakable for a slate that costs this much.

OnePlus Pad for $450: The OnePlus Pad has a successor, but OnePlus says it volition proceed to merchantability the OnePlus Pad until banal runs out. It's a large tablet, though little truthful astatine its $450 terms (8/10, WIRED Recommends). Try and hold for a sale. Multitasking is notably efficient, aided by the company's accessories: a Magnetic Keyboard lawsuit and a stylus. It was the archetypal clip I felt comfy moving for agelong stretches connected an Android tablet. The 11.61-inch LCD 144-Hz show is sharp, fluid, and colorful, the artillery tin past astir a afloat workday, and show is smooth. It's a shame there's nary microSD slot, headphone jack, oregon biometric authentication.

It performed much amended than the older Tab S7 FE tablet with less stutters. The 12.4-inch LCD surface is ample and a rarity to find astatine this terms successful the Android world, but it's a spot tricky to comfortably hold, particularly erstwhile browsing apps successful bed.

The hardware is inactive excellent, and considering the newer Tab S10 bid isn't dramatically different, the Tab S9 bid is inactive worthy a look. They athletics superbright 120-Hz screens and IP68 h2o resistance, and Samsung includes the S Pen stylus.

Amazon Fire HD 10 (2023) for $140: This Amazon tablet drops to $75 connected sale, and that's a hard-to-beat price.

Performance gets stretched if you play thing excessively demanding, and HyperOS connected apical of Android 14 tin beryllium clumsy and ugly. The artillery beingness is pleasing, and you tin expect respective days from the Poco Pad with airy use. Unfortunately, it's not presently disposable successful the US. —Simon Hill

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. The stylus and keyboard are large (I emotion the handwriting and look recognition), but they don’t look to beryllium disposable successful the UK. 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
