Android tablets are devices that I don't know a lot about. I've seen plenty of them around, but I haven't seen many people actually use them, but I've seen plenty of iPads and sometimes Surfaces out in the wild. Many large Android manufacturers have tried, like Samsung and Huawei, but reception to them seems lurkwarm at best.

Tablets, to me, are more of media consumption devices than productivity devices. So, I guess the questions of the week would be, what is your experiences with Android tablets, and what are some features you are looking for in an Android tablet to make it worth buying?

I have a couple of Android Tablets in rotation. Right now my favorite would probably be the Mediapad M5 8.0". I just really love that small tablet formfactor - great to just toss into a backpack and forget.

The being said, the Galaxy Tab S line is also great, especially because of their great OLED Screens. I still would like however to see them offering a smaller verison (like they did with the Tab S and S2) but I understand that there probably isn't a big market for it.

Only tablets I generally avoid are stock Android ones, because Stock Android on tablets, quite frankly sucks as it lacks many features that make use of a larger screen. Maybe that has gotten better with recent versions, but older versions are really just large phone UIs unfortunatley.
