My old Lenovo Yoga. Almost finished. Crack in the screen after dropping it on the floor (It's a wonder it lasted this long, really), more and more visible stripes on the screen. Seriously it will soon give up.

So now I'm looking for a new tablet.Price around $300-$400, and maybe, hopefully, a good offer now on the upcoming Black Friday. :)
The tablet will be used for daily surfing (a lot of YouTube), plus Spotify.

Some wishes:
- Android. Is version 15 available in budget tablets?
Upgrades should be included for a few years to come.

- Preferably a tablet that offers good opportunities for decent HiFi. Whatever it would be? :oops: For example, a internal processor that does not degrade the signal out via cable and or when I use Spotify connect (I use Wiim Mini + Spotify lossless). Seriously, I don't know what it would be but I can still ask the question. :)
-5 G
-Memory, I don't know but at least 64GB.
-Preferably LDAC Bluetooth (but not a requirement, I have LDAC in my mobile phone)
-Battery life + screen resolution. I don't know how good you can get on a budget? I'm not expecting top notch but decent at least.

Those were a few points that came to mind right now. If you want to bring up something else, feel free to do so.

I have fixed broadband/high-speed internet and a router in the apartment that sends out a signal.

What do you think about: Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ 5G 64GB with 11 inch screen? I saw that in my city it will soon be offered for $220. Okay 64 GB may not be that much though, hmmm... 7040 mAh battery. Is it normal? Or good?

But there may be good offers this week.

BUT you say coupon? Where can you buy it for $349 with coupon code? Keep in mind that I am in Sweden.

If I order Oneplus Pad 2 via a supplier outside of Sweden. I am a little hesitant about it. Possible problems with warranties, if it turns out to be something wrong with it. If it becomes a concern then that is.
