Hi internet,

Lately I've been tasked to find an Android tablet for my parents since the old Pixel C I gave them a few years back is officially dead. My first suggestion is of course an iPad but they tried mine and didn't really like how the OS works.

They mainly use the device for YouTube, and asked if it's possible to have a tablet with video output capability, since when they travel they like to watch the shows they downloaded, and it's a hassle to bring a laptop every time.

Currently I think Xiaomi pad 6 seems to be a good choice, but I'm open to any suggestions.

Think the samsung s7 fe might be a good option but I have to double check if it supports dex

Edit: yeah Dex supported plus expandable storage

Thanks for the suggestion! Somehow completely forget the Samsung lines.

So an update of the event, in the end I brought a Xiaomi Pad 6 home and my parents love it as they've used Xiaomi phones before and get the hang of it pretty quick. I can now keep the Samsung tablet I bought just in case😎
