Although the Xiaomi Pad 5, Pad 5 Pro 5G, and Pad 5 Pro WiFi will all receive MIUI 15, there is also a bit of a problem with this future update.

Huawei has now released the MatePad Pro 13.2, its latest flagship tablet. Available with a 3:2 OLED display, the MatePad Pro 13.2 also has a large battery and an impressive display within an ultra-thin and lightweight housing.

The Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra is huge in several regards. In our test, the Samsung tablet scores with its slim construction that looks even more spectacular due to its size. Also aside from the case, we cannot find many negatives about the Tab S9 Ultra.

The Amazon Fire Max 11 is an inexpensive and family-friendly 11-inch tablet that scores with a bright display, good mid-range performance and long battery life. However, Google services, including Google Play, are not part of the package. If you install them later, which works just fine, you also lose the warranty for the tablet.

The attractive cellular configuration of the 2021 iPad Pro 12.9 also comes with 128GB of mass storage, an excellent Mini-LED display and the quick Apple M1 SoC. At almost 40 percent off MSRP, the flagship tablet is still worth consideration in late 2023.

Samsung's Galaxy Tab A9 Plus (or A9+) has found time to pop up in another new leak ahead of its official debut. It has brought its vanilla A9 sibling along in this case, which gives the upcoming Android tablet the impression of being even more affordable on its launch. It will, for example, have 4G/LTE as opposed to the 5G of the Plus model.

Huawei has released another version of the new MatePad 11.5 of virtually the same specs - except for its PaperMatte display rated to eliminate glare for improved eye comfort.

The tablet is also touted as thin and light with a "high-performance" processor.

Samsung can keep the launch of the Galaxy Tab A9 Plus (or A9+) a secret no longer, thanks to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and its use of the upcoming Android tablet's full product name in its registration. The slate is now depicted as having much lower-end specs than, say, the Tab S9 FE, yet may be able to offer 5G-powered entertainment at a good price for all that.

When it comes to tablets, Apple's iPad is the gold standard, but many Android makers have spent years playing catch up.
