Good all around tablet? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hey, I am in the market for a new tablet. I'm still using a SM-T800. I love how rugged it's felt, the screen quality and resolution, and the overall size of the device.

I would mostly use it for notes and assisting me in tabletop games. Reading, such as manga/comics would also be a main use too. Only occasionally web browsing, and more rarely watching video content.

I don't really care about specific brands or anything other than I would like to stay away from Apple, and for it to have support for a decent keyboard case/stand.

I would also need it to support Bluetooth. I have no demand for a headphone jack or SD card slot, but those would be welcome additions as well.

I really like my Lenovo Tab P11 Pro Gen2! It's not too large and the screen and sound quality is excellent. I got it in a Bundle with the 3rd gen Pen and the Keyboard case for around 450€ from Mediamarkt, but that offer is probably exclusive to Germany. The keyboard is really solid imo, way less spongy than all of the Samsung keyboards I've tried.

I can't find anywhere to still buy that, any idea how the normal p11 Gen 2 compares? Or the normal p12. Looks like they didn't have the nicer screen. I've only ever used AMOLED so I don't know how much of a downgrade that is, if any.

The p12 looks decent but I can't find the difference between the 2023 and 24.

Personally the P12 was too large for me to ever really get into the details, but looking at GSM Arena it does seem fairly similar? The only spec of the P12 I'd be iffy about is the USB-C 2.0 instead of 3.0, and I'm not sure how the Mediatek chipset compares. I couldn't find anything about a '23/'24 model on GSM Arena, maybe they would have improved

The specs on the P12 Pro look much more promising, but apparently it was released in September '21 and is stuck on Android 11. If you don't mind that, it might be a decent option too. Wireless charging and a fingerprint sensor seem pretty useful :o
