I was recently in the market for a tablet. Purchased one January of this year and did all the thousands of years of research at that time.
Forget most of it now.
BUT I ended up with a Samsung Galaxy. I bought the Tab A. Bought a certified refurbished one so I got a good deal.

I use it pretty much daily. I have been VERY happy with it. I am glad I went with the 10 inch screen as opposed to the smaller one. I mostly use it for quick convenience at home, easy portability, and my biggest use is to utilize it in the kitchen when cooking as I do most, if not all, of my recipes from online.
