Android tablets are devices that I don’t know a lot about. I’ve seen plenty of them around, but I haven’t seen many people actually use them, but I’ve seen plenty of iPads and sometimes Surfaces out in the wild. Many large Android manufacturers have tried, like Samsung and Huawei, but reception to them seems lurkwarm at best.

Tablets, to me, are more of media consumption devices than productivity devices. So, I guess the questions of the week would be, what is your experiences with Android tablets, and what are some features you are looking for in an Android tablet to make it worth buying?

    I have a Boox Nova 3 Color. What its good for is 3 things.

    1. reading books

    2. taking notes with its included stylus

    3. Good enough software to run normal apps well enough.

    But what it is not is a Good Android Tablet. Its a typical 1 Android update Chinese tablet. Forever stuck on Android 10 (I think), with no expansion.

    And for an E-Reader that’s more than enough, but if you want to watch video? Its bad. Read a webpage that’s scrolls? Be prepare to manually refresh a lot to read what’s there. Install Google Play? Good luck (it’s doable just annoying).

    However compared with a Kobo or a Samsung and my most used Android Tablet I ever owned. I even made an e-reader case for it since the original disintegrated on me.
