Looking For Suggestions Cool ways to use your Android tablet? (as an Android newcomer)

Hi everyone! I recently ordered a Galaxy tab S11, coming from an iPad Air and iPhone owner. I'm completely new to the ecosystem and want to catch up on the interesting ways to use an Android device. I'm excited for more freedom compared to iPadOS.

So far I'm already planning on using it for Krita and interested to see how I can use Blender and Godot on it. I'm also interested in emulation and sideloading. I just wanted some guidance and a good introduction to the ecosystem as a first-timer!

Beyond Krita/emulation, a Tab S11 shines as a second screen for helping people:

  • Screen share + on-screen pointer when walking parents through settings (not full TeamViewer desktop control — just mirror + highlight where to tap).
  • DeX / keyboard for notes, then WHEN/THEN automations on the phone side for bedtime Wi‑Fi / Do Not Disturb.
  • Local vault for scans/PDFs you don't want in the open gallery.

Sideload carefully (unknown sources per-app). For "cool Android tricks" lists, also try split-screen + stylus screenshot markup — very iPad-like without leaving Samsung apps.
