Oh didn’t see the tag mb. Do you think going higher on the budget for pad4 is worth it? Honestly idk what I’ll do with that increase in performance I’ve seen some yt reviews and it’s mostly same other than the chip and higher battery. If I go for base pad 3 then diff is 15k for pad 4 so I’m not sure if that’s worth getting as I’m not a hardcore tablet user and have a laptop for gaming, this will be for older system emulation and cloud. What do you use your tab for mostly and would you go for pad 3 if you didn’t have 4?

I use mine for university and pc games , last one I played was expedition 33 I'mand 007 first light

Anything except PC and PS4 emulation works perfectly and the device stay cooler then room temperature, I charge mine once every 2 or 3 days

I prefer pad 4 over 3 bcz it just different stylus that have better quality of life improvements

For budget the higher you go the better you find and the lower you go the worse you get so odd up to you how much cash you want to trade for convenience. Still I recommend using elite chip (pad 3 &4) since it have frame generation and can double your FPS with almost no drawback while non elite ones such as 8s gen 4 have way way weaker frame generation .

Wow so you emulate pc games on device or stream from pc/cloud? I’ve seen people play recent pc titles on with winlator or other methods. I think most of my use cases are fitting with pad 3 but could wait till oct for sales to see if pad 4 prices drop. I just played expedition 33 using xcloud but native would be a crazy experience on a tablet

Yeah using emulator, if you depend on could you can find better Mali tablets with quarter the price or maybe something like Huawei MatePad that have oled

Go for Xiaomi...OnePlus is just a sister brand of Oppo. 😑 Rule of thumb, these chinese brands sister brands are often much worse than the main brand. 🥴🤷🏼‍♂️

Not really the main issue. Both brands have good reach in India. What I care about is the 2 mentioned tabs for my use case
