My first tablet was the first iteration of the Nexus 7. I went from that to the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2, 10-inch. I still have it and use it and love it. They haven't upgraded the operating system in a couple of years, but everything works on it and all the apps update with no trouble at all. I use it as a mini-laptop with a bluetooth keyboard and bluetooth mouse when I'm away, I can watch movies and read books and use Libre Office (because it's better than Microsoft Office plus it's free), play games, take pictures and videos and edit them and use Zoom or Skype. I can even make phone calls using VoIP technology. Mine came with 32gb internal storage and I could add a microSD card (which I use to store all my files).

I bought my Nexus in 2012 when it first came out. I got the Samsung S2 in 2016, a year after it came out. I've had it since and it's still working great. The battery is only supposed to last a couple of years but I haven't seen any slowdown on mine yet. They are theoretically not replaceable - but if you have the right tools they can be replaced.
