The world of Android tablets sometimes feels like a crapshoot, but every now and then, a seven or 11 appears. There are the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10s of the world, which offer the best Android tablet experiences, but also fantastic tablets like the OnePlus Pad 3 and great budget options, too, such as the Lenovo Tab Plus.

The 8.8-inch gaming-focused tablet is slightly larger than the iPad Mini but in the same ballpark on price at around $450. For the money, you get strong performance, solid build quality and an overall excellent set of specs and features.
