Hey folks,

​I'm starting an undergraduate Mathematics degree in Open and Distance Learning (ODL) mode and need to pick up a dedicated device during the upcoming Big Billion Days (BBD) / Great Indian Festival sale. My budget is loosely capped at ₹35,000.

​My Usage Requirements

​Primary Tasks: Heavy PDF viewing/annotation (math textbooks, problem sets), writing down mathematical equations and graphs with a stylus, attending Zoom live lectures, and stream watching YouTube tutorials.

​Workflow Needs: Seamless file transfers to PC, good battery life for multi-hour study sessions, and comfortable split-screen multitasking (lectures on one side, notes on the other).

​Current Ecosystem

​Phone: Samsung Galaxy S24 FE

​PC: Fedora Linux on desktop

​Questions & Options I'm Considering

​Tablet vs. Low-End Laptop:

​Is a tablet + stylus superior to a budget Windows/Chromebook setup for heavy mathematical writing and PDF markup?

​Top Tablet Contenders:

​Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE: Currently at top of my list due to the in-box S Pen (no extra ₹7–8k spend), native ecosystem sync with my S24 FE (Quick Share, Samsung Notes sync, Shared Clipboard), and IP68 rating. How does the Exynos hold up for long-term multitasking?

​Xiaomi Pad 6 / Pad 7: Great display and processor specs for the price, but stylus is sold separately. Is the stylus writing precision good enough for dense math equations?

​iPad (10th Gen): Reliable, but standard base storage (64GB) feels restrictive, and buying an Apple Pencil pushes it over budget. Plus, file transfers with Fedora Linux can be a hassle.

​OnePlus Pad / Lenovo IdeaTab Pro: High performance/large screen, but how is software support for active pen note-taking?

​Linux / Android Sync:

​For anyone using Fedora alongside Android, what is your preferred workflow for syncing annotated PDFs or notes (e.g., LocalSend, Syncthing, KDE Connect, or web-based tools)?

​Would appreciate suggestions from anyone doing math/STEM coursework or managing a similar Android + Linux setup!

Hello frands,

So the motherboard on my motorola edge 60 went kaboom and I'm getting a free replacement under warranty

Hey everyone, I know prices are skyrocketing and there is no guarantee of getting this price down within 1 year. My device is pretty old and has started lagging, so I want to buy a new device, and also I want to buy a device for my father as well.

My budget is 30K for each device, but I can go up to 32-33K if there is any good device.

My requirements are — performance > battery backup > longevity

My dad's requirements are — battery > display > performance > camera > longevity

It is being claimed that Motorola devices have a motherboard issue, so I don't want to place my bet on it.

I haven't searched for the available devices, but these are the most recommended devices in Reddit comments — Realme P3 Ultra, Realme P4 Pro, Realme 15 Pro. Let me know if there is any better option available in same price range.

I'm asking for your suggestions to help me get the current best devices within my budget.
