Samsung is basically the only choice if you want Android so pick up one of the following
Samsung Tablets
I recommend the S6 Lite WiFi

I got the Lenovo M10 FHD Rel for about 12K . It was the 3GB/32 version to which I added an extra 64 gb MicroSD.
It has a sharp FHD IPS display, and the colors are neutral. The performance isn't super-fast and snappy, but it's quite responsive.

Can be used in these basic ways.
  • ebook software like Cool reader, AI reader, Kindle etc. for epubs/ebooks
  • Comic viewers for comics
  • watching Hotstar/Prime/Youtube
  • Music
  • Use it for Zoom and Teams
  • Use it for Telegram/skype/comms
  • Use it for email
  • Use it for browsing the web
Is it better than an iPad. No.
Does it do what I require it to? Yes.

Nokia doesn't quite have thw same pull they once had, however they are a trusted brand so hopefully the products are as good as we all remember. Have they released any other tablet?

With all the new android versions, they're pretty heavy on apps being forced to shut down, but I can have a bunch open, without lag, till the manager decides to kick in and close something that's not been touched.
However, reopening does not take too much time.

As of right now, I have 20 tabs open without lagging.

Battery life is tough to answer, I've gotten an easy 6 hours reading, and it should last more.
However there's an issue with battery drain - if you've charged it to 100% at night, the system keeps using battery and the next day it'll be at 80% instead of 100. This used to happen with my Redmi phone too, so it's not really a 'drawback', but just something to keep in mind.
