Galaxy Tab S11 vs OnePlus Pad 4. Buying one for the next 5 years. Need advice from long-term Android tablet users.

I've been going back and forth between the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 and the OnePlus Pad 4, and I genuinely can't decide.

My usage

  • 80–90% YouTube and Netflix
  • Some web browsing and Reddit
  • Casual gaming
  • No video editing
  • No productivity or laptop replacement

My dilemma

Galaxy Tab S11

Pros

  • AMOLED display
  • Better HDR and contrast
  • Better blacks for movies
  • S Pen included
  • Samsung has a good software reputation

Cons

  • Uses the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ instead of the Snapdragon 8 Elite
  • Smaller 11-inch display
  • Costs around ₹10k more

OnePlus Pad 4

Pros

  • Snapdragon 8 Elite
  • Huge 13.2-inch display
  • Excellent battery
  • Better performance headroom for the future
  • Costs less

Cons

  • LCD instead of OLED

My questions

  1. If you were keeping the tablet for 5 years, would you prioritise the better display or the faster processor?
  2. Has anyone here owned both a premium OLED tablet and a high-end LCD tablet? Is the OLED difference still obvious after the "wow factor" wears off?
  3. Do you think the Dimensity 9400+ will still feel fast enough for media consumption and general Android use 5 years from now?
  4. If you had ₹70,000 to spend today, which would you buy and why?

I'd really appreciate opinions from people who have actually used these devices or similar flagship Android tablets rather than just comparing benchmark numbers.
