            Just like Android, literally all of those app cases require sideloading. No, jailbreaking is not an option. No, AltStore is not an option, because it requires iTunes. No, Apple will not be folding to """laws""" requiring allowing sideloading in this decade.
            Your only options are through the web browser. Peertube/Invidious (or hack around israelitegle's hack disabling PiP), give up on IQfy, good luck on manga, and hope you don't want to emulate anything more powerful than GBA.

            Can the S7+ or S8+ maybe updated with better software, like LineageOS?

            S7+ doesn't have that problem.

            Chink trash. Either buy Ipad or nothing.

            But that doesn't give you Android. I would rather take a cheap chinked tabled, than an iToddler device.

          i agree with this strictly because of the digitizer which is the best i've ever used and is the main reason i got an ipad
          what sucks absolute ass about it is the fact that there's no permanent softmod/jailbreak whatever you want to call it. the one utility that actually works and lets me "sideload" apps has to be "reprovisioned" from macos with a developer account signed in or some shit, i dont even remember at this point because i mainly use it for sketching and reading anyway.

          Nah, still depends on the use case. Much of my usage requires cross platform data syncing, file management, and side loaded apps which iOS sucks balls at. Also OLED >>>>> IPS.

    Jup. I have a Samsung S7+, this is what i do with it:
    - Play XBox games
    - Play movies on my 4k tv (had to buy a USB-C to HDMI adapter)
    - Watch Youtube when in the bath tub
    - Check and trade stocks
    - Check news
    - Video conferencing
    - Dial into work in case of emergency with OpenVPN, RDP and SSH (Linuxadmin stuff)

    About twice a year i have a larger bike tour, i put the Tablet into a large map pouch and use Osmand to display real time sattelite maps. Only thing is, you have to have some kind of tshirt or towel over it to reduce heat from the sun.

    It offers more options to do hardware related stuff. For example, you can run a local Debian chroot. I use it to manage a few personal scripts that do things on my system at home via SSH. For example monitoring the PV status and a few other things.

    I have the S7+ and I absolutely love it. I got it last year around november.

    I draw on it with clip, play genshin and cookie run and read manga with Tachiyomi and Neko and read IQfy and reddit and wikipedia and books and such on it. I got retroarch setup on it with some gba games in anticipation for a big plane trip i have later this year.

    The S8 doesn't feel like a big upgrade over it so I'm sticking with it.

    I'm probably not optimizing my experience. Especially youtube since I currently just use the vanilla youtube and gotta make time to try out vanced or newpipe or whatever.

          Neither the tab S8 nor the tab S8+ has the OLED display. It's only available in tab S8 ultra, but at that size it's quite impractical daily use.
          None of the iPads also offer OLED display pannels 🙁
          I think I'm quite well off with my base S21

            I think 13 inches is fine on the account you plan to use it as a touch panel or something, I also have a stand that I can use too so I can use it to view stuff/write notes while using my laptop without having to transfer files.
            It's autistic I don't really need it, and I'm pretty sure I won't be able to buy once it becomes cheap with the economy and all

    i got an ipad as a replacement to a cintiq for art, much better than the android alternatives and almost on par with the cintiq (the pen itself and the screen are both miles better than the cintiq alternative specs wise / lag wise / parallax wise / but you're locked into just procreate because its an ipad and not just a display drawing tablet that you can plug into ur computer. but on the flip side, you have a full tablet instead of just a display drawing tablet, so if you're not a pro then it doesnt matter and if you're a pro then your employer will buy a 30' cintiq for you and you dont need to worry about this)

    Have an a7 which is good though probably a bit underpowered (still would take it over an ipad or surface though), wish it had an oled and was slightly smaller though.

    Also surface-style kickstand would be nice, as long as it doesn't make it too heavy to hold

        DeX makes the thing surprisingly useful for light productivity work. It's definitely not a primary work station, but it's a solid alternative to a laptop if you have another computer for the heavy lifting tasks.

      It's a cheap alternative to the S series but I have 0 faith in Xaiomi supporting it long term, and MIUI doesn't leverage the screen well.

    Its alright, but it kind of lags and gets stuck sometimes.
    It doesnt feel like high end for being supposedly the best in its class. Maybe its because mine has like 4gb if ram though.
    Also the text selection is bad. Not sure if ios does text selection better though.

      iPad for sure if you can afford it.

      The A series tablets are okay, but they're definitely budget tablets. The iPad wipes the floor with them, as it should since it's nearly 2x the price in some markets, worse if you need storage.

    Basically, it's the only Android tablet that even vaguely can dance with the iPad because Samsung's the only OEM that gives a shit about tablets. OneUI is the only thing that takes Android on tablets from a mess to actually pretty useful, hence why its the basis for Android 12L and 13.

    The iPad and the Galaxy Tab S are really the only two tablets anyone should by buying unless they want Windows (or Chrome OS but that's a mess for completely different reasons).
