AMOLED screen. Granted, there’s not much competition in the
Android space –definitely not from the Vankyo MatrixPad Z4 –
but the Galaxy TabS6isundoubtedly topofthe pile.
On to e-readers, where Amazon’s Kindle Oasis takes the Best
Buy prize with its superior build quality –including robust
waterproofing –and wealth of features.

Many of these features are shared with the basic Kindle,part

of the reason that it’s also agreat choice.You’re not getting a

blue-light filter,which might be an issue if you like to read at

night, but its newly added reading light is what even makes

that possible in the first place,and for£70 (£80 forthe ad-free

version), it’s agreat deal in any case.
