What are some Android tablet brands in the USA other than Google, Lenovo, and Samsung? I’m looking for a #5G tablet in the sub-$300 range and it’s seeming like there’s one Samsung, or several hundred random Chinese Amazon sellers that don’t even have a brand name on the product listing.

    Are you comfortable with used items?

    Amazon USA has the SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab S9 FE 5G for around 300. +45$ for new.

      Not too comfortable, I must admit. More inclined to get a new wifi-only tablet and tether my phone.

      I just noticed the Tab A9+ that does have a 5G option appears to only be on the model with 4G of memory. I don’t know how big a deal that is. I’m coming from a Lenovo TB-x304f with 2GB of RAM so it’d still be a huge jump up.

        Depends a bunch on what you’re using it for.

        Complex games 4gb isn’t enough.

        Typical doom scrolling and YouTube it’s fine.

        Pay attention to what bands your carrier supports vs what the device supports as there are many regional submodels of tablets and phones.

          Yeah, that’s why I wouldn’t buy from a non-US distributor.

            You’d be surprised even with the American ones, it’s not always full support for each carrier.
