The author mentioned the Galaxy Tab S5e but I don't see anybody discussing it so I thought I'd give it a go seeing as I'm typing this on one. In short, I think it's great. Very thin and light considering the screen dimensions. Also, that screen has very thin bezels that are just thick enough to make holding it comfortable. The screen is extremely vibrant OLED that makes my iPad 2017 look washed out in comparison. The tablet has a light Samsung skin overlayed but it's still very fast and responsive though not quite as smooth as the iPad.

Android on a tablet is not for everybody though since depending on your app choices you could be in for a lot of programs intended for a phone looking blown up on this screen. So far, that hasn't been an issue for me since I mostly stick to the browser, Anki, Ghost Commander, Moonreader, emulators like SNES9X and PPSSPP which all either have tablet UIs or it's just not relevant.

The last thing I got this tablet for and which also works great is Termux to have a real command line interface and, though I didn't plan for this, Linux on DEX which gives you either a full blown Ubuntu desktop or you can just start up a BASH interface in a couple of seconds. It's great and it's the real thing right on the tablet. Even works with a keyboard and mouse with the Ubuntu desktop appearing on the tablet rather than external display. It's amazingly responsive too. Much moreso than I expected on a Snapdragon 670 with 6GB of RAM.

If you're thinking about an Android tablet, give this thing a shot. I don't work for Samsung; I'm just a happy user and since OP mentioned it and seemed to be satisfied as well, here's my 2 cents.

Edit: also my girlfriend has a Motorola Play Z something or other and that splash screen really is something else with the "HELLO MOTO" blaring and the robot doing a backflip I cringe every time she reboots it.
