Wondering what’s the best Samsung tablet to buy? I have a secret recommendation

I’ve spent time with a lot of tablets over the years. I’ve used everything from Amazon’s smallest Fire 7 — without an HD resolution — to Apple’s massive M2-powered iPad Air and found reliable use cases for both, but I have to admit that I’m most comfortable with Android tablets. Among them, I’ve always had a soft spot for Samsung’s Galaxy Tab experience, and I’ve recommended it to family and friends time and again.

However, I struggled to know which Galaxy Tab to recommend for a long time. Although Samsung has a lot of great options, many overlap with each other a bit too much to come out with a clear-cut winner. Or, at least, they did until I simplified the way I make my recommendations. Here’s how I suggest which Samsung tablet to buy these days.
