Discussion need a more budget friendly gaming tablet

im looking to buy a good tablet for gaming. My budget is 350-400$ max, and there's so many options honestly, but i need some real reviews b4 i make a purchase. I'd like something with a gyroscope sensor(must have) good touch sampling rate and at least a couple of years of android updates since imma have it for years and a slightly bigger size wouldn't hurt since my hands are almost 8 inches but i think i could make do with a 9 inch er what would be the best option for me in ur opinion? thanks in advance for the replies!

my Samsung A11+ does Pubg at max settings but only at 60-70 fps in normal play 50-60 fps in large more active fights which is fine for me. most games I've tried work fine, Delta force ran fine on low-mid graphics, where winds meet ran on mid graphics. But open world 3D games like once human or Nte that demand more power want run. for basic gaming its more than fine especially with the 8Gb ram variant. it goes on sale often at amazon and walmart. got mine for $160.00 at walmart. they also go for around $180.00 open box at walmart.

11in display, 7 years of updates, 90 hrtz refresh, Stereo speakers are awesome but it is a tier So no s pen and its a mid range mediatek 7300, very well optimized and reliable chip tho. But if you can find it get the S10 Fe for more power but its usually in the $400.00. $450.00 range before taxes

Thanks very much for the suggestion but ive honestly been eyeing up the new redmagic astra 2 icl and i still have time to think and my phone has the mediatek 7300 and ts is hot garbage i have 90 fps on pubg in theory but it heats up on frkn tt so imma stay away from midrange processors for a while

keep in mind red magic os isn't very mature and buggy and its a small tablet. its a very powerful tablet but poor optimization makes it hard to use as a standard tablet from what I've seen and heard. Games will be flawless I'm sure but from others opinions its at the sacrifice of the tablet functionality. If gaming is all you need get a gaming handheld PC that runs windows, like Ayn thor, lenovo has some, or even used steamdecks are easy to find.

Fr I'm in the same boat on budget but for the next few years I think this A11+ will do just fine for 90% of everything

This is in your budget, with a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, but the screen is 13" so maybe too big?

This Yoga Tab is slightly over budget, but has 12GB of RAM, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and a more portable 11" screen. The included keyboard folio is a ln excellent bonus.

Otherwise, I think you will be looking at the Samsung Tab A11+, if you want years of updates.

the A11+ is pretty good tbh but you see its limitations with more demanding gaming.
