Time to upgrade my tablet and I'm looking for some recommendations/advice.

I'm mainly just browsing, watching YouTube, Netflix and playing the odd game.

I currently have an Honor pad x9 and I was going to upgrade to the Honor pad 10 but then got a bit side tracked!

Don't want to spend anymore than £400 really (the less the better) and I'm tempted by the following but open to other recommendations:

Honor pad 10
Honor pad 20/20 pro
Samsung S10 FE (256gb)

I want to be able to use a pen (biggest drawback for my current tablet) as finger prints on the screen are a pain.

I'm not in a major rush so I'm happy to wait for the right deal, I know some of the tablets I'm interested in are over my budget but they may dip into my price range when sales start. I also have a work discount scheme which gives me a fairly good discount on Samsung products.

How about a Xiaomi pad 8 - https://www.mi.com/uk/product/xiaomi-pad-8/
Better screen, better CPU, faster charging than a Honour 10 or 20, same cpu as the 20 pro. 20 pro has a slightly better screen.
£299 for 128GB or £349 for 256GB
£60 for the pen

The Honour 20 pro is the best out of your list, currently £100 off with a free pen & keyboard, so £449 with a stylus (first come first served, not guaranteed)

Samsung seem to be copying Apple, £420 for the 128G or £590 for 256G!
The cpu in the 10FE is much much slower than the Snapdragon 8 gen 4, https://nanoreview.net/en/soc-compare/samsung-exyn...
90hz screen, lower resolution than either of the other tablets, smaller battery

Thanks. I didn't consider the Xiaomi as I noticed a few reviews about compatibility issues with some brands of tablets and apps. It seems like good value and a good spec, definitely top of the list!

After looking at the specs again I would definitely feel a bit short changed with the Samsung.
