8" tablets

[Bit Cloud]

looking to buy 8" tablet tossing up between 
Nvidia SHIELD lte  and Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0
help or is there anything better

Shield is the best basically. It's got dem speakers. The Predator gaming tablet isn't as good as shield, but perhaps you'll like it as well.

 

But for me, a tablet has to have good sound and picture. You can't beat the shield. 

 

You might wanna look into the Venue 8 7000 as well

 

If you go with the shield, keep in mind there's two versions, the first gen, then the K1. The K1 has slightly better processor, but no place to store a stylus (still can use the stylus if you buy one) and the first gen still has really good hardware, and comes with a stylus and a slot to put it.

Shield is honestly the only Android tablet even worth considering.

Lenovo yoga tablets are good, they have that weird cylinder, but insane battery life.

oh no no no, the version of windows you'd  get on an 8 inch wouldn't be worth a crap. and if you did get full windows it would slow and annoying as hell to use.

 

8 inch android is the way to go. I feel windows is a frustrating touch experience on smaller devices.

Hey There,

 

I have the Samsung tab s2 8.0"  and it is really good for gaming but not as good as the shield.
