I initially tried a Galaxy a while back......I am sure things have improved but at the time I found Astronomy and other apps were limited and the inbuilt compass & GPS were not very reliable or precise (all important for stellarium Apps)
Since then I have stayed with iPad and have found them to be faultless.
Astro App choices that work extremely well with Tak/Temma mounts from SkySafari to Astromist as well as polar scope apps and inclinometers and compass.
I have found a couple of Inclinometer, Compass & GPS apps that are very accurate.
My current version is the iPad Pro 9.7 with 256gb, advanced 4g, GPS, 3 Axis Gyro, Accelerometer, Barometer and ambient light sensor.
It costs a little more but IMO is worth it for the extra features, apps and stability.
