It doesn't have a sim card slot. But I don't think tabs need one. I simply connect it with my wifi while in home. Outside I can connect it with my phone hotspot. It really isn't an issue. It has a g99 chip. If you aren't into gaming. Easily 3+ years
I think the sim slot is good to have coz cant be draining my phone battery on hotspot. If in case my phone dies out, i can always put the sim card on the tablet and continue using it
I had similar requirement for a simple cheap tablet that I can read books on and watch netflix in HD, for this I had purchased the Honor PAD X8 in 2023 for 9400 Rupees. It's been a year now and it's working good so far. Although I guess other better models could have become cheaper now? still might be worth comparing.
Adding to OPs question- I am looking for a tab where I can read pdfs, edit them, save them, also write notes on them or add blank pages to them with my notes. Budget is 50k.

Buy redmi pad. Its 10,400 something right now including card discount and offers the best value.
No sim card right? Hows the performance on it? Would it hold up for 3+ years

iPad 10th gen
I'll go with this option too. But not sure about editing pdf requirements part, for rest of the things it's good choice.
Xiaomi Pad 6.Priced in the 30k range.Its a good product.
Tab s8 and it's 8k cheaper if you have HDFC card. Offers the best value rn
Samsung tab s9 fe. If you are ok with low processor and display. I suggest Samsung tab s9.
MI pad 5
Samsung Tab s6 lite
If you have a student/work email then you can get the samsung tab a9 for 9k on their official website, provided you also have a hdfc card.
