There aren't a ton of great Android tablets out there, but the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 offers the best overall Android tablet experience of the bunch. It has a big screen, high-end specs, a stylus, and support for a full keyboard. It's expensive, and not the right pick for anyone who wants a smaller and more portable tablet, but as an all-around device, it can't be beaten. For those who have different needs (or budgets), there are a few other picks that work well as media consumption devices and won't break the bank.
- Best Overall:Samsung Galaxy Tab S4
- Productivity for Less:Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e
- Powerful and Affordable:Huawei MediaPad M5 8.4
- Big on a Small Budget:Amazon Fire HD 10
- Cheap as it Gets:Amazon Fire HD 8
Best Overall — Samsung Galaxy Tab S4
The most important things to have in a full-size Android tablet are a great screen, loud speakers, strong build quality, and software that makes use of the extra screen size. That's what makes the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 the best Android tablet.
Its spec sheet leaves little to be desired, with a super-fast Snapdragon 835 processor, 4GB of RAM, plenty of storage and well-optimized software. And because it's a Samsung product, you're getting a best-in-class display — coming in at 10.5 inches — and an amazing metal-and-glass build.
Beyond the specs, you get extras like great quad speakers, a microSD card slot and a stylus included in the box. And despite being thin and light, it gets great battery life. You can add a great first-party keyboard cover to get some work done, and then jump into the DeX desktop-style interface for a more laptop-like experience.
If you want an Android tablet and you're willing to spend the money, there's really nowhere else to go but the Galaxy Tab S4.
Pros:
Best screen available on an Android tablet
- S Pen stylus included in the box
- Robust and beautiful metal-and-glass frame
- Long battery life
- First-party detachable keyboard support
- High-quality quad speakers
Cons:
- Expensive if you're only a casual tablet user
- Not suited for portrait or handheld use for long
Productivity for Less — Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e
The Galaxy Tab S4's capabilities — and price — are a bit overkill for most people. That's why Samsung makes the Galaxy Tab S5e. It's built on the same tenets as the Tab S4, but takes strategic cuts back in order to be more affordable — and that makes it extremely enticing.
You get the exact same 10.5-inch AMOLED display, which is a huge plus, as well as 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage and high-quality quad speakers. The battery is a little smaller, and the Snapdragon 670 processor isn't going to blow you away with performance, but those are fine trade-offs for a $250 price drop.
The entire body is a sleek metal rather than glass, which may not feel quite as high-end but helps the Tab S5e be extremely light for its size at just 399 g (0.88 lb). That makes it great for media consumption and handheld use in ways the Tab S4 isn't — but you can still attach a hardware keyboard and jump into DeX desktop mode to get some serious work done just as well.
Pros:
- Super light for its size
- Large high-quality screen
- Quad speakers
- Optional hardware keyboard cover
- Productivity features including DeX Desktop
Cons:
- Not as powerful as Galaxy Tab S4
- No stylus support
Powerful and Affordable — Huawei MediaPad M5 8.4
The MediaPad M5 8.4 isn't going to blow you away with amazing speakers or a class-leading display like the Galaxy Tab S4, nor does it have a companion stylus or a keyboard. But it has excellent build quality and great performance — plus, a Quad HD display.
Though Huawei makes a larger model (and even a Pro model that does support a pressure-sensitive stylus), the MediaPad M5 8.4 is the perfect size for comfortable, casual browsing and play. And the price is right for what it offers.
Pros:
- Great performance
- Solid build quality
- Good size for one-handed use
- Good value considering its capabilities
Cons:
- Display doesn't match Samsung's quality
- Software is lacking tablet optimizations
Big on a Small Budget — Amazon Fire HD 10
The Amazon Fire HD 10 is one of those deals that's almost too good to pass up if you're after a device with a large screen but a small price tag. It's simply the best big Android tablet for doing the basics, from watching movies and TV shows to browsing and playing some casual games.
The big caveat to keep in mind with an Amazon Fire tablet is that you don't get the Google Play Store or Google's great apps and services — instead, you'll rely on the Amazon App Store, which has a dramatically limited app selection. But for this price and what you're likely to do with it, that's an okay trade-off for most.
Pros:
- Exceptional value for this size
- Solid display
- Amazon's apps get the basics done
- Fun color options available
Cons:
- No access to Google Play apps
- Cheap-feeling plastic body
Cheap as it Gets — Amazon Fire HD 8
Amazon also makes the best super-inexpensive Android tablet available, the Fire HD 8. At $80 with 16GB of storage, it's an amazing deal. The smaller size makes it easy to toss in a bag and carry around or give to a child. And it's also light and easy to hold in one hand, making it good for reading.
Like the Fire HD 10 it doesn't have the Google Play Store or Google apps, but you're even more likely to look past that when you're spending under $100 on a tablet. This is a great choice for media consumption, browsing, or handing to your kids.
Pros:
- Small enough for kids to use
- Fun color choices
- Gets all of the basics done
- Almost unbelievable price
Cons:
- Low-quality screen
- Cheap-feeling plastic build
- No access to Google Play apps
Bottom line
The number of great Android tablet options is limited, but there are a few that are worthy of recommending. The best possible Android tablet experience comes from Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 with its high-end materials, great screen, capable software, and hardware keyboard support.
The Tab S4 is too expensive for many tablet buyers, but Samsung also makes a great alternative in the Galaxy Tab S5e. For $250 less, you're getting the same core experience and productivity features, in a lighter overall package, but with a few shortcomings in specs and frills.
For those who don't need every bell and whistle under the sun, the Amazon Fire HD 10 and Fire HD 8 offer a good media experience without costing you an arm and a leg — so long as you can live without Google Play services. If you need a bit more from your tablet but still want it in a handheld package, the MediaPad M5 8.4 won't leave you disappointed either.
