Have decided it's not economically viable to get my old gen 2 iPad mini repaired, so am going to look for a decent Android tablet for my Zwifting. Anyone got any recommendations? There's some cheap ones out there, but I'm prepared to pay a bit more for a good one if it will help run Zwift nicely.

When I last checked (about 3 years ago mind), Zwift only worked with IOS so any Android device was out.

TRO that's no longer the case, Zwift released the Android variant earlier this year I think. I even had it running on my little Sony Xperia Compact the other day. Raemond mentioned earlier that she'd been able to cast from it too, which ticks the boxes for me.

I agree it will now work on Android - I've run it on my cheap honor Android phone when I set up the rollers in the garden earlier in the year. Alas I know next to nothing about decent tablets though.

Just been doing a lot of trawling through the Black Friday deals. The Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 gets good press as a gaming machine, £219 on Amazon right now. 3Gb of RAM, but better processor than the more expensive Tab S6.

Why was that Gobes? Not enough RAM? The reviews of the Tab A7 have them playing all kinds of high-end games on it. Admittedly, I can't find an example of them testing Zwift on it specifically.
