Best tablet (not iPad just for the sake of it)
Buying a tablet with as less budget as I can but can pay for utility - Want to read (Mac plus android phone is cluttered) - Basic design (canva) willing to try ios for procreate (I am a designer) - App design (flutterflow) - Basic video editing (for Instagram and linkedin) Consideration set - ipad 9th gen - ipad air (worth the money for my use case) - Samsung a9+, s7 FE, s6 lite Decision parameters - book reading experience - money vs use case worth - need stylus - 2 to 3 years low maintainance tab Anything else to consider?

iPad Pro is hands down the best and the one I use.
Both iPad variants you mentioned are okay-sh contenders. Samsung S6 Lite maybe affordable but it is just shit.
If you don't have the money and cost is a restraint, then iPad 9th Gen could be a good fit, otherwise, iPad Air 5th gen is better.
🤮 You lost me at pro. Pro is useless for my use case just like this answer.
Wont buy a football field cause I want to play football today. Unless I am bad at money management or maybe show off. ( just for my use case)
Enjoy your pro.

I merely mentioned that I own a Pro not that I recommend you that. It is an effort to showcase credibility.
Regardless, the last paragraph mentions the rationale behind what is better.
I guess you are just salty about something in my answer. Apologies for that.
Please be mindful that being a piece of trash while commenting is piss poor behaviour.

iPad Air. Like their macbooks it's a beast of a machine design and build wise, that will serve you well for 5 years. I look at expenses as cost per year and this is where it's better value than Samsung or any peak Android tablet. Not the case with smartphones though 😂
My base iPad which I bought for 24k in 2019 is still going strong. Never faced any issues, slowdowns etc on it. I've used friend's air and frankly I don't see any reason for an update. I use it for notes, content, planning trips and sometimes sketch. Works great. It's the most VFM product from apple, by miles.
@inr I am thinking of either going with a cheap ass tablet for just reading and video editing. But looking at iPad at 25k 9th gen my mind keeps going back to it. 😂 Would you trade your iPad now for a 20k android tablet now?
TBH, iPad @ 24k was such a good deal I didn't even consider the alternatives. How much do the alternatives which you're seeing cost?

I bought some Lenovo tablet with HD screen in 2016, it was slow but did the stuff, battery gaveup in 2020,
Had pretty satisfactory experience with that considering it was for just around ₹15000.
Assuming that's still available would recommend trying that given the budget is restricted.

I use S7, It's awesome, Easy to write, Decent Cameras, Mind-blowing screen + Easy connectivity with Everything with Samsung
You can buy Xiaomi Pad and then install Pixel based Rom to get the best performance from it. Else you can buy the base iPad which is usually below 30k
i still got my ipad air 4 from 2020. hands down best affordable one, and never once been disappointing. i got a few paid apps for my workflow, and i can seamlessly use with my mba m2. amazing battery life, great for sketching, wireframing and even doing illustrations. reading is somewhat tiring, since it's a bit heavy with the case on. maybe the mini will solve that for you too, but with less space for the pencil.
0 maintenance, apple pencil are additional perks :))
