Thanks everyone for your opinions. I am very much an IOS person - laptops, computers, phone, but in the UK a 16GB mini4 with cellular is over £400 whereas the Shield 1 when it comes to UK next week is just £150. Unfortunately not sure i can justify the difference unless I can persuade my better half she needs an iPad !
So am I right to think that any android tablet will not offer the zoom function?? I only have an iPad mini 1 and that's not powerful enough :-(

I had the Nvidea tablet for a week and hated it. Got the iPad mini4. Soooooooooo much better!

I own both the iPad mini 4 and the Samsung Galaxy tab S2. As neither tablet has given any issues, I use the iPad just because of the zoom feature android firmware version doesn't offer. I also fly a Solo and if you know what's happening with the new firmware update 3DR and Android developers are currently going through, you're better off with an iPad there as well now too. I'm not an apple fan but to be honest, the drone industry seems to be a little further ahead on the iOS than with android.
It sounds different, like you are blowing up the 720 resolution feed, so when it's zoomed 2X it actually degrades digitally to 360 resolution in the Android screen, is that correct?Look at the slightly earlier post you can zoom on Android just in a different way!

The iOS zoom doesn't do that. When recording in 1080, and you zoom in 2X, it crops the 4k sensor and continues to feed a 720 resolution view to the screen. It's quite good, and the sd card output is 1080. The viewing clarity while flying is what makes it good, helping to identify things during the flight so you can clearly see and capture the right car, bike, or whatever.
Androids zoom is located in settings under accessibility options, so it's not just an ios function, I've been using it for years... Just turn it on then you double click the screen or go-app and you can zoom wherever needed. Then double tap again to go to back to normal view. I use it daily. When you zoom in on the android screen, you are zooming in to a spot in the center so all of the buttons on the edges have to be scrolled over to if needed... or double tap again. I used it today to make sure I had the hawk for the full flight down river when he passed under my UAV, pics are reversed... I thought it was an osprey till I saw the top color
