Does anyone have good experience with android tablets, and possibly replacing the OS? I see some interesting options from Google, lenovo, one plus, etc… I imagine the pixel one will be the easiest to load a new OS to, but I also wonder about the tablet support of things like lineage or graphine.
The hardware doesn’t have to be groundbreaking, just good enough to be my “travel laptop” for movies, comics and general interneting. I don’t want a laptop, as I often like to sit in chair/bed to read comics or watch movies and a keyboard would make that awkward.
One of my main concerns is the update support - my iPad has been getting updates since 2017, a lot of the android manufactures are promising a pathetic 3 to 5 years. I don’t want to be “software bricked” in 5 years (I.e apps eventually requiring an Android version I cannot update to)
Here to second this. The s5e is still a beast and feels even more amazing on lineage. They can be had for less than $200 on ebay/swappa as refurbs or lightly used. Still a bit more of a pain to install lineage on inititally than it is for some other devices (at least in comparison to my oneplus), completely worth freeing it from the shackles of Samsung though.
