Take a look at this. It's about as good as you can get for the money.

Comes with 4gb ram and 32Gb storage plus micro sd slot for additional storage.

They were recently offering £30 cashback on this but the offer expired at the end of September. Watch out for new October promotions as they often appear and may be of interest.

Hope this helps.

The processor in that is no better than the A10 in the current ipad.

I did not put a price because my goal is to first understand what I am paying for, so I hoped someone had experience of these and posted from their experience.

He started off on Iphone 4s, 6s plus, Ipad 2018, new updates now make the games slower. Another iPad is out of the question, so I figured it would be worth asking about Android tablets, it can be 8" but the key is grunt.

All I see quoted is top end Samsungs but they cost same as iPads.

Sorry what I did not make clear is that he has "borrowed" another family members Ipad, it is fine but pretty expensive, he also wants to use some things that are android only so it has to be android and there is no way I would fork out the price of an ipad.

What I am really trying to do is get an understanding of the underlying CPU etc.

On PC's it is dead easy to compare CPU's, better memory and so on.

However on the Android

The Haw

Huawei MediaPad M5 8" 32GB Wifi Tablet - Grey has

Processor Cores 8
Processor Family Kirin 960
Processor Number 960
Processor Speed 2.3 Ghz
While the Samsung Galaxy TAB S4 10.5 SM-T830 WIFI 64GB SM-T830NZKADBT has no information on the processor except it has a count of 8

Sometimes you are paying for brand, sometimes for the CPU being the latest

The Huawei says "Runs Android 8.0 Oreo - enjoy all the latest apps" is Oreo the latest, someone said they have gone to numeric processing and Android 10 is the latest, although that may not be a good thing with OS Bloat.

Huawei seems a bit of a risk what with the US Government issues preventing Google from working with it, I have already heard of apps stopping working.
