You cant beat ipad if you dont have powerful productivity app like Procreate and ability to run Adobe Illustrator. Just create a similar app, make it powerful. And you can beat that ipad.
Have to agree with the other comment here.
I’m a Xiaomi fanboy but I have to admit that what makes the iPad “the” iPad is not just the hardware, but also its incredible software suite available from the Apple App Store.
Professional apps with the likes of Adobe, unless also made available for Android from the Google Play Store, is what the Android ecosystem needs in order to contend with Apple’s iPad.
We have to always take note that what makes a device great is always the hardware + software combination with the latter, being Apple’s strongest suit ever since.
