Is there a better choice than the galaxy tab A 10.1 for 175 used?

i guess it will be used for streaming mostly with websurfing second and games last. Eyed a few diff tablets but seemed like this was best for the money. (china brands kinda turn me off with quality issues in lcd battery os etc)

My budget is about 200 (since i can get the 10.1 tab A for 175 "mint") I have looked at the Fire HD 10 as well for 99 new sale on slickdeals (maybe not currently active)

cellular would be a nice option. Currently own a att ipad mini 4 128gb that i think i paid around 260 a year ago for but i forget.

Not super impressed with apple so samsung or major brand would be nice.

Lowest price tab s3 for me is 320 .. like how the m3 fits in my pocket but lacks gsm LTE bands which is fine. Tab s3 will be next tablet if this one seems underpowered . Not going to play games so should be fine

I know it's not your choice, but I just picked up a Lenovo Tab 4 10 and it has been awesome. Colors are great and it is fast.

welll according to the reviews "The tablet's 10.1-inch, 1,280-by-800 IPS screen works out to a sparse 149 pixels per inch" umm if it isnt better than a 100$ firetablet 10 i think ill pass. (tho i wouldnt mind the firetablet 10 for a smart things quick tile launcher (but i havnt cared enough to wall mount or set up one it will be future project)

Mediapad m3 has great ppi high res. battery has lasted a week so far with browsing and watching tv episodes from VLC. put it side by side with ipad mini 4 and looked much better with its better aspect ratio and larger screen.
