Albion Online / Gathering setup
For a resource run, choose what to collect and where to sell before heading out. Bring a tool for the resource tier, then decide whether to sell the materials raw, refine them, or keep them for crafting. The tablet comparison below focuses on the inventory and market checks around that loop.
Tablet workflow
A gathering session moves between inventory, storage, and the market. Try these actions in Albion's mobile client at the text size, orientation, and stand position you expect to use.
Choose from your trial
Choose from the interaction trial rather than the model name or memory alone. Specifications do not show how these touch tasks will feel on a particular device.
| What you notice during the check | Configuration to consider | Why it may fit |
|---|---|---|
| A pen feels easier than a finger for dragging items. | Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE (12GB/256GB) | This configuration includes an S Pen. Albion does not require a stylus, so choose it only if you prefer that input. |
| You prefer using iPadOS for quantity entry. | Apple iPad 11-inch (A16, 128GB) | It runs iPadOS on an 11-inch-class display. Check the on-screen keyboard with Albion before choosing. |
| Android feels easier for entering market quantities. | Xiaomi Redmi Pad 2 (4GB/128GB) or Galaxy Tab S10 FE (12GB/256GB) | Both run Android. The Redmi has Albion's recommended 4GB; the S10 FE includes an S Pen if dragging also troubles you. These details do not predict FPS. |
These displays are 10.9 or 11 inches, so none is a clear step up in screen size. If item labels remain cramped, try adjusting Albion's interface scale or your viewing distance before deciding screen size alone is the problem.
For a broader choice across activities, use the Albion tablet hub. For mobile combat controls, see the Mists targeting walkthrough.
If you are choosing between mobile and desktop controls, use the mobile vs desktop setup guide.
Optional equipment
Use a stand that keeps touch controls within reach. Place the charger or power bank so its cable runs clear of your hands and does not pull on the tablet.

Read inventory labels at your normal viewing size, move a low-value item between inventory and storage, and enter a quantity with the on-screen keyboard at a market. Repeat in your usual orientation with the tablet on its stand and charging connected if that is how you plan to play, then choose the device where those actions feel easiest.
Albion's download page lists 3 GB minimum and 4 GB recommended for Android. Check the current page for the full device and software requirements.
A stylus is optional. The Galaxy Tab S10 FE includes an S Pen, so try it if finger taps or item dragging are difficult. Choose it only if you prefer the pen for these tasks; Albion does not require one.
