They already have the A9 on the market, it's clear these small tablets have become a niche and Samsung doesn't care to release a top of the line version. Hence why your only option is the Y700
How about this one from Lenovo. This guy raves about it:

I'm seriously considering it to replace my aging ipad mini.
I just wish samsung, so i can take/make calls from tablet when needed. also samsung eco system is bit better and bigger, Also S-pen makes it more appeaing, else i would go for lenovo.
There's a Lenovo Tab Pen ($50) which charges by USB C. But I hear you re Samsung.

hope we can install above app, i can see it can be installed on my pixel phone
give it 7.5 minutes before OW drops their price to 678
Still 687
Transpose error from the dude who updates prices
ok maybe not 7 minutes but just like the other ipad it took 24 hours so get in quick
Are the mini with the Pro worth it? I normally do all my design and 3D work on PC and have an iPad for quick sketch ups when away. Does this have similar functionality to an iPad Pro or is it just a mini with faster processing? I'm not an Apple person but figure for the price if it can do a bit of modelling and sketchups for me might good for on the go.
Theres still only one mini, the PRO is for the chip (A17 Pro) which is the same chip as the iPhone 15 Pro… with a minor caveat. 5 GPU cores instead of 6. That said, if the apps you need are on the iPad mini, itll run it perfectly fine.
Kind of misleading though, as there is no A17 chip.
Thanks for that. I'll mainly be work with Illustrator/Photoshop on the iPad. All CAD work is done on the PC. Appreciate the input. Apple naming systems always confuse me.
I have used Affinity 2 and Procreate without any issues on my mini (A17 Pro) with the Apple Pencil. Average file is 15-30 layers depending and no issues to speak off.
@VCertainty: Yeah the new Apple Pencil is really useful on this model too with the squeeze and hover stuff.
Are there ever any deals on the Cellular models?
Looking for android alternative like below
