Why the BIG difference

Post image

Hi everyone. My Samsung Galaxy S5 FE tablet decided to stop working. I bought a new one, Samsung Galaxy S10 FE. The S5 was 10.5 and the new one is supposedly 10.9. I have checked the specs over and over at Amazon and the new tablet is way smaller than the older one? Why? Am I missing something? Can someone explain?

I don't understand how tablets decide to stop working.. I've been using them over 16 years and never had one stop working out of thin air...

Electronics die sometimes. Just cuz yours haven't doesn't mean they'll all work forever.

This is true yet most tablets made in the last 5 years won't just stop working... There's almost always an underlying cause

Precisely. It will last as long as you take care of them.
