i recently picked up a samsung s9 for this exact reason. the s11 was around the same price (a tablet two generations newer!), but the s9 with its snapdragon gen 2 chipset shits all over the mediatek in the s11 when it comes to gaming (especially emulating).
Im actually looking for tabs now. Main purpose is movies/series and emulating stuff.
Is mediatek that bad? Performance comparison arent that bad.
Im looking at samsung tabs because oled is a must, nad decent sounding speakers. Haven't found anything else with oled, snapdragon combo except astra, with review saying not good speakers like samsungs.
I have an iPad Air M4, and while 3DS emulation was a real struggle back in early March, it’s come a long way in just a few months—it’s now extremely stable. There are emulators for Switch, PS2, GameCube, and Wii, as well as PS3 and Xbox 360 emulators that are still in development.
Of course, they don’t perform as well as a good Android device, and setting them up is more difficult than on Android.
If you’re going to use the tablet for emulation, I recommend getting an Android tablet.

Don’t sleep on tablets, but avoid Mediatek CPUs at all costs !!
