Tablet recommendation

[pd_06]

I want to buy a tablet for attending meetings, productivity work and studies as I am a college student. Also I want the tablet which should support laptop screen casting for dual-window setup. Currently user of Samsung A52s phone and Asus TUF F15 laptop. 

 I am confused between tab S8 (which is under budget) & S8+ (may increase my budget). Also it has been rumoured that tab S9 series launch is nearby. So which tablet would you recommend for the above purposes? 

 Non-Samsung tablet recommendation will be considered too.

You can check tab s7 too its also great , S8 is also good but s9 will be more upgraded with the new OS and new Hardware, mi pad 6 is launched today you can check that too.

S7 is good but it's not available in offline market (fresh piece).
About Mi pad 6, um it's good but it's xiaomi 😬😅

Yeah, go for s8 or if you can wait for s9 tab

Don't buy S7 it's too old & won't get any more OS updates

You should go for S8 ( or S9 if you can spend more )

Among S8 vs S8+ ( or S9 vs S9+ a/c to rumoured specs ), experience, performance, battery etc are practically equal! + variant is a larger tablet & I would suggest you to try it out in any store before hand! They also have the AMOLED Display which is fantastic but do note that LCD of S7/S8 are also of good quality! (I'm using s7 since last 3yrs)

[ Among non-Sammy, recent Xiaomi Pad 6 >> OnePlus Pad look promising
( do note that you have a Samsung phone & Windows laptop so a tab from Samsung will be beneficial )]

Yeah. My thoughts are same. But I think s9 series will have good battery backup over s8 series due to chipset. I am hoping that s9 series launch should be before July end, till that date, I can wait.

Yes, rumors say that tabs are going to ve unveiled along with the foldable phones in next month. Let's see if rumors become true.

As you're saying you prefer productivity, my advice is to wait for S9 or in case you couldn't want to wait for it, go for S8+ cuz you said for productivity, the larger screen is better but it is your personal choice about what you feel comfortable about it. S8+ has larger screen and battery than S8.

[pd_06]

Yes I'll wait for that as it is going to be my 1st tab 😉

[yash1th]

Even I'm waiting for it and also it will be my first tab as well.
