Need advice on buying a tablet

So I'm split between Samsung Tab S2 and Lenovo TAB 4 10 Plus, does the Lenovo tablet stand any chance against Samsung's one? /// I've also come across Huawei MediaPad M3 8' but not sure Huawei is a brand tablet that lasts for years and will run at a good performance which is why I'm going for at least a minimum of 3GB RAM tablet though I know that's not all that matters. --- Thanks!
 
While I could make a preferred choice that would be suiting my needs and not yours. Those are three good picks though. Just some things to add to that 'minimum of 3GB RAM' aspect
-- Which version of Android is it running and/or can it be upgraded. Picking one with the 'best' hardware specs is one thing but if one will be getting OTA patches for a longer period of time that might be something to consider.
-- microUSB or Type-C port? If you have multiple devices all using one or the other, you might not want to add in an odd-one-out. Of course if you already have microUSB <> Type-C adapters around this is a moot point.
-- AMOLED vs IPS LCD. If you watch a lot of streaming content on your tablet aspects like screen resolution and pixels-per-inch are something to account for. As for the AMOLED vs IPS LCD debate, there's no shortage of advocates for both sides on what's 'best'. Be it visual appearance to battery life issues, for me it's a matter of having both side-by-side to make a direct comparison, or I'll just be lazy about it and say both are really good.
 
Ask @Sluggers how he (doesn't) like his Lenovo Tab and the problems he's been having with YouTube video resolution. If that matters, you might want to scratch it off your list.

Well, you've said more than enough. It could be a glitchy tablet but don't want to take chances, Samsung's the better and more reliable brand. The Tab S2 is a wonderful tablet with a gorgeous screen.
