Samsung Galaxy View is the Biggest screen Android tablet available to buy. The tablet comes with a large 18.4-inch screen size with 1920×1080 pixels full HD screen resolution. It is colorful, crisp, and clear, and good for streaming and watching movies.
This is further made possible by great-sounding speakers on the tablet that allows for a good immersive sound experience when gaming or watching a movie.
Despite its very large size, the Samsung Galaxy View comes with an inbuilt handle that makes it easily portable. The portability is also made possible by a large long-life battery of up to 8 hours. Unfortunately, the tablet is slightly heavy, limiting portability.
When using a large tablet, a stand is a must-have accessory for the best user experience. This tablet does not require a stand separately because it features an inbuilt stand at the back that supports the tablet when in use.
The size of this tablet can easily make it a good Android tablet for drawing but shortcomings in the RAM and slow processor highly limit it. The tablet comes with a 1.6 GHz Octa Core Processor and 2 GB RAM which is a little slow for most complex software.
However, if you are an artist we previously showed you that it is possible to use an Apple iPad Pro as a Graphic Tablet with simple modifications. I am not sure if it is possible on Samsung Tablets but if it is, this would be a perfect candidate for a nice large drawing tablet.

However, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE is a better tablet compared to Lenovo because it supports 5 G connectivity and runs on the modern Android 22. It also features a USB Type-C compatible charging system and supports Samsung’s Dex support.
Samsung’s Dex support means that just like the S8 Ultra, when you connect to a keyboard and mouse, the tablet mode is automatically deactivated and it automatically switches to friendly laptop mode and view.

Factors to consider when choosing a large-screen tablet
You need to consider the needs or purpose you have for your tablet. For example, a reading tablet can be smaller in size compared to a tablet bought for drawing or entertainment.
For the best experience, we recommend tablets with high resolution preferably fully laminated AMOLED screens with matte finish if possible. These ones will be more clear compared to regular screens. Additionally, the screen prevents unnecessary parallax that can affect your view.
Consider the accessories available like the Stylus Pen, keyboards, front and rear Cameras, speaker quality, and battery life.
Software upgradability is a key consideration you need to have in mind. Check whether it can handle the software you want to use and also whether regular OS updates are available. Using an outdated OS can result in Malware risks or slow tablets.
Choose a tablet with a powerful processor, large RAM, and large storage space. These ensure smooth performance and easy compatibility with complex applications.
