I am looking to purchase a small(ish) tablet (7-8 inch screen max.) for use at work to complement the centre iPads. I would like it to fit in my toolkit (bumbag) so I can take quick and easy photo's for learning stories. Ideally it would need to have internet connectivity (not just wifi).
I am not very techy when it comes to researching these things. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Shelly

If you wanted to get another Ipad I would highly recommend getting one refurbished through apple, its not worth the high price tag for a new iPad in my opinion. There are plenty of other options though for cheaper tablets instead of an iPad, I would have a look at some of those especially if you just want it for photos/ e-books etc.

here are two I would recommend checking out:

Android 8.1
Samsung Galaxy A10.1

Hope this helps :)

Refurbished Ipad would be a good choice, you should definitely check them out.

How's your budget? If you're only looking for ways to take photos, an Android 10 device should suffice. Maybe Android A51 5G so you can also have the internet access. For a cheaper option, Samsung A20s has a big screen and good camera. If you want something that uses a stylus, I suggest going for a refurbished iPad with Apple Pencil. Android tablets with stylus tend to be more expensive.
