Media consumption, internet browsing, casual gaming and a bit of productivity
It is hard to say what is best, because prices change and decisions are always influenced by promotions.
When I faced the same decision last year, my choice was made easy due to a nice discount for the Samsung A8. This promo made it by far the cheapest (half the price of the Redmi and just over one third of the S6). So I am using the A8 for internet browsing, email and reading Office documents in the train. It does it job well. It is fast enough for light office work.
At work we have thin-clients (intel NUC's with large screens) and at home I use a desktop (also with large screen), so I needed something for travel, which was small enough to be used in the Dutch over crowded commuter trains (where you often have to stand in the rush hours, making a laptop useless).

Why is everybody running away from the redmi pad? Is it just because of the software updates? If you compare its specs to the s6 lite,you'll find that it's similar if not a bit better... I'm leaning toward the redmi tablet tbh but I don't know. I need more opinions on its durability and software in general.

I don't know for sure about the updates for the Redmi, but I have heard Xiaomi in general has those shorter. It's one factor that made me hesitate buy a Xiaomi phone.
If I also was to choose from these 3 models/versions only,

I think it's support for users who are not Chinese. Updates play a part too. But it probably comes down to brand recognition and uncertain political climate.
Korean companies like Samsung aren't much better. They are bundled with their own "Galaxy" app stores and integrated features which are mostly non-removable OOTB, and require a Samsung account that come with their own Terms/C and Privacy/P.
If buying an Android Tablet is not an immediate priority, waiting for 2023 Google Pixel Tablet could be a contender for a little more money.
$250 over 3 years will cost you on average $84 per year (exc. accessories, electricity and repairs).

Hey guys, I ended up ordering the xiaomi redmi pad from an online store for 215$. I went with xiaomi because all my previous devices are samsung and I wanted to try something new. It has 6gb ram and 128gb rom. It has a 90hz screen with a 2k resolution and an 8000mah battery. It comes with android 12 and a mediatek helio 99 processor equivalent to the snapdragon 720 or so. The frame and back are made of aluminum and it has a 1 year official warranty. I want to thank you guys for your opinions and efforts to help choose a new tablet!
That is a very good deal, when I was looking around (november 2022) it was still over 300 euro's in NL
(I paid for my "second chance" Samsung A8 under 160 euro's).Agreed. I don't like the Samsung bloatware either, it's horrible and also a privacy nightmare to deal with. But good luck getting warranty/service for a grey market imported Chinese tablet/phone. With Samsung you can in most countries get warranty/service.
Anyway, congrats on your new tablet ZeePriest
The specs look really good!

Sorry, don't know, ZeePriest asked about tablet not smartphone
but its syntetic benchmark is 80%faster than my A53, so I guess it should work wellSimilar threads
