A "which tablet" thread

[tenohfive]

I've got some vouchers for John Lewis and could do with a second tablet to supplement the Samsung Tab S 10.5 that I currently have (and love.) I'm looking for something that'll run Android games happily, can be used for films on long car journeys and that's it really. Other than a decent display and reasonable performance the only feature I'm quite keen that it have is the ability to use OTG memory sticks - easier to dump a load of films on them than mess around transferring to the tablet or a microSD card.

JL's selection isn't fantastic but there are a couple of fair options there:

Upper budget of about £200, less is fine though.

The ones catching my eye are the Amazon Kindle Fire HD8 (or possibly 10), Lenovo Tab 2 A10-70 or Samsung Galaxy Tab E. All have pro's and con's associated and I'm dithering between them.

Any thoughts on which would be the better option?

Don't want an iPad, doesn't fit with all the Android products I own.

Galaxy Tab...care to be more specific? There are a huge number of Galaxy tablets but the ones in price range look to be very poor.

Right now I'm inclined to believe that in the midrange price point JL doesn't have the greatest of choice. Seems to be a toss up between:

Amazon Fire HD 10 16GB
Amazon Fire HD8 8GB
Lenovo Tab 2 A10 (not the A10-70)

Amazon Fire HD 10 32gb is £199.95, but the 64gb is only £30 more if you can stretch the budget just a bit.

Given that a 64gb OTG USB stick is only £15 and that extra space would only really be used for films, is there some sort of benefit I'm missing?
More is generally better but I'd like to be sure it's money well spent.

Nothing worthwhile there by Asus Zenpack, just the old and underpowered Zenpad 8 (not the S version.)
