The S5e is super old and many devices are likely facing battery age issues.

I wish I had known this device was going to see long-term support like it received. I would have bought one at the time.

The only modern tablet officially supported is the Pixel Tablet (tangopro). It's good enough but the screen quality isn't as nice as I would like. It should be supported for many years to come due to it's SoC being common to the Pixel 6-9 phones.



I really want to move to an android tablet but love the writing on an ipad pro. Does a pixel tablet support writing/drawing with a pen and palm detection? And more importantly is there any good software support (e.g. apps like goodnotes) for that? A pixel tablet with graphene os overall sounds awesome.


tangorpro has GrapheneOS support which would likely be a better choice until security updates stop coming from Google (and GrapheneOS) 2028-06-01.

GrapheneOS installs easily via your desktop web browser with the Pixel device connected via USB.


+1 for GrapheneOS. I've dabbled in a lot of alternative roms over the years. There wasnt a single one that was as easy to install and use.


As slow as it is on paper (in practice it’s really not bad) and the batteries are indeed going, its AMOLED screen really takes the cake.
