I have a fairly new iPad and a couple of Samsung Tablets. To be honest my good old Tab 2 T813 is one of my favorite devices. The folks at XDA provided me with the tools and knowledge to up the tablet to Android 10, Legend branch and it's awesome. Still has plenty of power, runs everything I download or from Google Play. I have a $18 replacement battery for it but I am not sure it needs it yet. For a piece headed to the grave I love the thing and the price was right. I guess the camera isn't the greatest but it runs zoom and Duo flawlessly. The other Samsung piece is a Tab A, I haven't touched the O/S yet but it still works fine. Both tablets are fun to use.
These two have a far better personality than the iPad. The iPad is what it is, boring. Don't get me wrong, my GF has a current model iPad and really likes it. She works on a Windows laptop for her job all day so maybe that's why she likes Apples so much. She loves the MacBook Air I gave her, it's her go to system although it won't work with her aging HP printer/fax. I suspect the fact her daughter in law being an ex-Apple genius influences her as well.
I have begun a trial moving from a work provided Moto G7 and an iPhone to Samsung phones. Samsung phones come off as kind of quirky so far but they do work well so we shall see. The Moto is a rugged workhorse and nothing more.
Finally I have a Windows 10 based Acer tablet, what a joke. It's not worth beans unless you pair a bluetooth keyboard to it (another junk pile rescue, didn't find the keyboard attachment). Once again if you give Win 11 a good hard look it's like M/S is trying to make Windows tablet friendly again, good luck. Haven't tried loading Win 11 on the Acer tablet yet,
