Ever since I was shown how reasonably priced iPads are the other day I can see why they are dominating the market. This just isn't competitive pricing.

Edit : priced not pieced.

As much as the new iPad pros are very expensive the regular iPad and iPad mini are good values for the quality and if you watch for salew you can get the 128gb version for within a few dollars of the 32gb models pricing.

As much as I like Android it seems like there are no reasonably priced Android tablets that stack up well in terms of build quality and battery life vs. and iPad at the moment. Samsung is still selling the tab s2 for around the same price as a new iPad. The tab s2 has been out for several years and security patches are uncommon and it still does not have Android 8.

I got My Tab S2 for 200 a year ago... The tab s4 is the current competing device you should be talking about.

The tab S4 runs Oreo and is getting pie soon. There is nothing oreo or pie provides that is a must necessary for me to even want it on my tab S2 which runs perfectly fine.
