Hi! I’m looking for a privacy respecting Android tablet.
I ruled out the google tablet due to it being too expensive with an LCD screen
I would prefer a nice OLED screen if possible (or similar), and preferably cheap. Must be able to stream HEVC encoded videos (not 10 years old hardware), and preferably more (VP9, AV1, for future proofing)
The main use will be to watch content (movies, series, videos) from YouTube and Jellyfin, and sometimes some other apps if they’re not enforcing the Play Integrity API
So far I’ve searched some OS and I’m considering LineageOS or /e/OS, with /e/OS looking better in terms of privacy. Don’t want google to track everywhere I go and everything I do.
Any recommendations for good cheap hardware with bootloader unlocking, and recommendations for a good Android ROM?
I haven’t tried it myself but GrapheneOS supports the Pixel Tablet, so that might be an option! Not sure if the hardware meets your needs but it should be top notch regarding security and privacy!

I didn’t want it, but after looking at the market, I realize it’s not that bad for the price range and for my requirements. It might sadly be the only final answer

I’m also considering the Xiaomi Pad 5 with /e/OS
