BEST ANDROID TABLETS OF 2021 

If you don’t have an iPad or a Windows tablet, android tablets are good substitutes, and most of them are high-end devices, especially Samsung galaxy tabs. Samsung galaxy tabs are the superpowers dominating the android tablet space, closely followed by Huawei.

Most android tablets rarely make people dump their expensive iPads, but there are many android tablets that are really good iPad status contenders. Below are five of the top android tablets you can buy if you want top-notch performance and full productivity.
