Good Android Tablets are quite rare and are hard to find in Indian online markets. Apart from the Samsung Galaxy Tab series and the Apple iPad series, you don’t have many good tablet options available to consider purchasing. Google itself doesn’t care much about Android tablets and hasn’t released any new official Google Pixel tablets in a while. This might change though in the future thanks to the Android 12L Tablet version development.
