I bought myself a Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 .. after waiting for a better Tablet I'd want for 6 years It's quite zippy with its Qualcom 865. Didn't go for the Plus, as it seemed to expensive for what I do with it and I already have a Microsoft Surface I I want the small, tablet shaped Windows/PC experience.

have you tried Lightroom mobile on it with RAW files? Curious how it might stack up against an iPad Pro.

I know you are asking someone else, but I have just been comparing them and the Android version of Lightroom is still crippled. It doesnt have the new color grading feature with color wheels and still can't export to anywhere except the device in full quality.

So I am sticking with the iPad Pro for now, even though I much prefer the Android pen to the Apple Pencil 1. May keep the Android as it's so lightweight compared to the 12.9" original iPad Pro and Android has other benefits, like being able to copy a video from my laptop to it- took 2 seconds last night, whereas I was pulling my hair out trying to figue it out on the iPad. I think you have to download software on both machines, like iTunes, which is bananas when they are trying to say iPads are now good desktop replacements- they are not. Typing is much easier on Android too- when I need to correct a word I just click on the letter to change, that isn't possible on an iPad.

Lightroom works perfectly fine on the 1st generation 12.9" iPad Pro and I think that is currently the best bang for buck Lightroom Mobile option. Its nice to also have a light Android tablet for browsing the web and playing media from my PC and a war game not on iOS. But if Adobe ever stop crippling LR on Android I will upgrade to the best tablet and get rid of the iPad.
