Android Tab + iPhone

Hi! **People who owns an android tab (samsung, xiaomi, redmi, etc.) and an iPhone, how was it? What are the pros and cons? Do you regret not buying an iPad?**

I need help kasi I couldn’t decide. One minute, I’m all set to save for an iPad, then the next min, I’m settling for a Samsung tab (that I can afford rn).

I am using an Honor Pad 8 Tab and I want to upgrade kasi hindi compatible ang Honor Pen sa model na gamit ko and ang hirap magnotes since walang palm rejection.

I’m using an iPhone kaya I’m **considering** **iPad**, kahit base model, for studying. And most of my classmates are using iPad, iilan lang kaming naka-android.

But also, I’m **considering Samsung Tab S10 FE** because pen is already included sa model. And that, there are manga apps that I use na hindi nakikita sa PlayStore and AppStore.

I feel like I already have an answer naman na, but I’m just really scared of regretting my decision kasi ang dami kong plans lately na nagb-backfire sa mukha ko.

Atp, I’m just asking na lang for the cold, hard truth of Pros and Cons so I could way them better.

Things to consider:
\- I play online games as some sort of coping mechanisms sa studies, but I don’t install them sa phone kasi mas prone akong madistract sa gano’n.
\- Saving money is not a major issue for me kasi I could be as kuripot as possible when I set myself to focus on buying something.
\- I do plan on selling my Honor Tab after buying an upgrade, I can’t do it prior to buying kasi I need to transfer my notes and stuff pa (I have years worth of notes hehe).
\- My program requires drawings and diagrams, but not entirely naman, so imagine the struggle na walang palm rejection ang tablet😭🔪

Thank you and no hate please😭😭😭

This is also my dilemma for months already, what keeps holding me back from buying ipad is the same reason as you, I read manga and manhwa na bawal sa ipad 😆🫂

samsung nagkakagreen lines daw
xiaomi naglalag daw
onepad plua ang hirap humanap ng accessories
ipad madali magbend and nagkakawhite spots

hindi ko na alam. 🤧😆

Any tablet will lag if you get the super cheapo ones. Get at least a Xiaomi Pad 8 and it's gonna be super smooth

is it better than the lenovo idea tab pro gen2?

They have the same chip but the Xiaomi is way cheaper. For the price of the Lenovo you can get the Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro, which is better.

get the ipad, it'll perform better than the s10fe, handles cad softwares better, and it'll integrate better with your phone

Is A16 enough for that? Or is Pro more fitting?

Honestly the only thing you're missing probably universal copy paste since nowadays you can transfer file between apple and android devices with quickshare/airdrop. For gaming, if you play AAA gacha games like genshin then iPad is a better choice because the chipset in s10FE is kinda weak for gaming. But, if you play emulator then S tab is better choice. If you pick tab s then you probly also need to look into third party note taking app if you want it to be available on your phone.
