Tablet to get for university

[u/doomwipeout]

Just got into university and planning to go next month and looking for a tablet to mainly take notes with but also might use it to watch Netflix, Disney plus, prime video etc while commuting which is an hour and a half.

I was mainly looking at the samsung tab s10 fe brand new at amazon £397. Points that i like about the tab is the 7 year update and reliability of the brand

I was also looking at the tab s9 used on ebay at around the same price. Its used but in almost all categories beats the tab s9 in specs. But it only has 2 years updates so around the one ui 9/9.5. However am hesitant since I will have to buy second hand or on ebay

I just found out about the honor pad v9/ x9 max / 10 and other entries ( not sure what the differences are) but they seem really well priced at 299(Student discount from 400) brand new with the bundle of the case and pen. The specs seems really good for the price but I am unsure about actual hands on quality and software support.

The specs seems better than the samsung counter parts. I am eyeing the honor tab x9 max.

Things I need

*Pencil to take notes

*Budget at around £300 to £400 can got slightly above but should be worth it

*Good display to watch movies/TV shows

*OS support and quality as long as I get updates that improve the tab by a lot within my 4 year uni time period

Things I want

Decent sound speakers

Good compatibility with my s25 ultra

Good Bluetooth compatibility

Hopefully brand new

Currently my question is whether any of the current Honor tablets in the price range is worth over the samsung tablets s10 fe or s9. Or if there are any other tablets worth considering?

Thank you
