OnePlus Pad 2

OnePlus Pad 2 —combines the best of an Android tablet, with some bits of iPad. It features a 12.1-inch display with a high 144Hz refresh rate and a resolution of 3000×2120 pixels — all of which makes it great even by Android standards. Despite the lack of premium glass protection, the display performs well thanks to the performance of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip paired with 256GB of built-in storage. If you have multiple apps running in the background while you work, play games, edit content, watch movies, or draw with the Stylo Pen, you won’t experience any glitches or slowdowns.

The OnePlus Pad 2’s rounded edges make it comfortable to hold, and the faux-leather texture on the OnePlus Smart Keyboard makes for smooth typing. The best part about the keyboard is that you can attach it to the tablet or use it as a standalone Bluetooth accessory.

OnePlus Pad 2 uses Apple’s one-touch AirDrop feature. When you hold your Android phone up to the keyboard or place it on top, it immediately pairs with the tablet, allowing you to transfer files, share calls, and mirror your phone’s screen on the display.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra

The Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra has the same 14.6-inch display as its predecessor, but Samsung has made significant improvements to the display technology. Among those improvements — an anti-reflective coating that allows the tablet to be used outdoors or at the kitchen table, a resolution of 1848×2960 pixels, and a variable refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz.

Although the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra has the best display thanks to its AMOLED 2X screen, it’s also the most optimized for multimedia consumption, especially for watching movies, playing video games, and creating artwork with Galaxy AI and S Pen. The stylus now attaches better to the back of the tablet because the magnetic port is now recessed so that the stylus can fit properly into it.

Unless you’re a professional digital artist, this tablet isn’t suitable for work purposes. That’s because the Android OS isn’t optimized for large-screen tablets like Windows, which means it won’t support software that will allow you to replace your laptop when you need to work outside — even if you use it in DeX mode.
