I have used an early iPad mini that was not reliable, so I replaced it with a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 (non-cell connected) which fit in the same mount as the iPad mini, and worked fine - not as bright as the 740, but with one on each side of the cockpit, one is always readable. This year I replaced the Tab S2 with a Tab A as it is cell connected, and was "free" with a data plan. It is more rectangular - talled and narrower than the Tab S2 - which I don't like as much - but it seems to function fine (now that 11.0.63 is installed).
This is not a recommendation, just my experiences and choices. I do consider the 740 the primary and most reliable device, the tablets are for redundancy and the co-pilot.

For an update - we flew with both tablets today, the Tab A and the Tab S2. The ab S2 is clearly brighter (with both turned up to max brightness) and has clearer color on the sectional.
I'll try to get a side-by-side photo one of these days.

Been using my Samsung Tab A for over a year. ~$130 on sale at Best Buy. Works flawlessly in my Warrior.

Tab A for me too. WiFi only - no need for cell connectrion. Works great. And cheap (one thing iPads are NOT!)

I got the cell connected Tab A for use at the un-attended self-serve fuel airports that I frequent for the low fuel prices on cross country flights. It's very nice to be able to check the weather ahead, etc. Other than that, the WiFi only Tab S2 was great.
