Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 9.7

£600 from www.snipca.com/24140 Tested: Issue 501

Samsung’sg’s new mid-sized tablet has a wonderful HDR screen and comes with a pen included, unlike Apple’s ipad Pro. But its processor isn’t the fastest and it’s disappointingly expensive, especially compared to the £339 ipad 9.7in.

ALTERNATIVE: Asus Zenpad 3S 10

With eight-hour battery life and 4GB of memory for fast multitasking, this ipad-like 9.7in tablet is great value. £270 from www.snipca.com/24858
