8" s2 with lineage 15.1 is the best Android tablet.

So what is the best ~$200 8" Android tablet? My Fire HD is super slow if I'm doing anything more than one app at a time (apps force close if I switch between them) but tablets with >2GB seem to be slim pickings unless I pay closer to $300, at which point I might as well just get an iPad echo system be damned

Find an 8" tab s2 and put lineage 15.1 on it

Is there a good tablet to be had between $300-400? I used to own the original Nexus 7 and an Asus 7" one (forgot the model). They work, but they got a bit too slow for my liking even with loading comic apps.

My main priorities are speed, storage size, and battery life. Size is at least 7" but I'm looking to get an 8" one or above for better screen size. I'm just going to use it to read comics which I can't do on my phone.

I'm in the same camp of really wanting to replace my Nexus 7 but not liking any of the available options. Galaxy Tab S2 is definitely on my list, and i would already have pulled the trigger if it looked like it had better ROM support - but I might just suck it up and deal with the samsung touchwiz junk to get a better tablet with more battery life.

The Tab s2 (atleast the 2016 8" wifi) has official lineageos 15.1 (android 8.1)

I do say that the be 8.4" one is tempting as a Nexus 7 replacement. I'm still kinda iffy on my Tab S3, the Samsungness of the software still bugs me even on Oreo and I still feel it's too big of a device.

I'll be looking out for more detailed reviews of these.

Buy an 8" s2 and put lineage OS on it. It has an official release.
