The only tablet I can recommend is any iPad with pen support.
It has been a lifesaver in my uni life, by taking notes digitally I saved dozens of notebooks and otherwise wasted paper, plus the convenience of having my digital books that can be taken everywhere saved my back.
I think that for a university student the base 128gb (or even a 64gb one) iPad and a knockoff apple pen for 20~30€ is a worthwhile investment.
I can see it a whole lot better in bed, or around the house. The phone is too small. I only use the phone outside of the house when I’m mobile, except for hotels, then I’ll use the tablet.
Tablets, I don’t see the appeal of a big phone device that can’t fit your pocket and can’t make calls
I like bringing it with me when travelling, to watch movies on the plane. More portable than my laptop with a bigger screen than my phone.
i sometimes use one for certain tasks, where a big screen device is needed, but i don’t want to haul around my big laptop.
They’re useful if you have kids, otherwise I haven’t found them really useful.

My wife got me one years ago, and I’m using it as a dedicated YouTube player when I’m doing something around the house
I think they would be far more useful if all of them had pens.
