TCL TAB A1 Plus NXTPAPER
Why we picked this
Best Overall: The larger matte-style NXTPAPER display is more comfortable for extended reading and handwritten notes than the cheaper option. Performance remains suitable for everyday Android apps and light sketching, although active-pen capabilities may be limited.

Xiaomi Pad Mini
Why we picked this
The Xiaomi Pad Mini is a powerful, highly portable Android tablet with a very smooth display and ample storage, making it attractive for quick notes, reading, and compact sketching. It delivers considerably more performance than entry-level options, but its smaller canvas is less comfortable for full-page handwriting than the Redmi Pad 2 or Xiaomi Pad 8, and active-pen support may require an additional purchase.
