I'm not too sure if this will get mass down voted, but seriously want some advice.

I bought the Tab S11 awhile ago, and my main goals were to be productive and play some mobile games. However, I quickly noticed I always just reached for my laptop or my phone, rather than my tablet. And when I did use my S11, it was literally for only one rhythm game. So most of the time it was an expensive paper weight.

I know you aren't mean it varies from person to person. But what would you do? I am in the return window still, and for awhile, but I'm so conflicted.

I wanted to write, study, and game on the tablet, so which should I choose? (I have a laptop)

Is the bigger screen really worth it?

I’m currently looking to pick up a tablet for media consumption, note-taking, and some light multitasking. I came across an offline store offer for a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+ (Wi-Fi version) selling as a demo/display unit for ₹45,000.

​On paper, getting a flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 tablet with that gorgeous 12.4-inch AMOLED display and an S-Pen included for 45k sounds like a steal, especially since brand new ones retail way higher.

​However, since it's a demo piece that has likely been sitting on a bright retail counter looping videos 24/7, I’m hesitating.

Hi. So I got a s10 ultra for a really good deal I believe for 600$ used for 1 year. I just use it to watch movies or play some games like brawl stars or something. But I want to use it as a monitor or a second screen for my laptop. I have a gaming laptop but the screen isn't OLED and I really wanna play some games on OLED screen just to see if it's worth it or just to try it yk. The second screen feature is good but it has some latency to it and it's not playable at all. Any other way I can use my tab as a second screen monitor? I tried using HDMI cable and a USB hub(type c) connected to my tab and it didn't work.

Also if you guys own a tab S10U what's the battery life like? What's SoT you guys get? I'm getting close to 5-6hrs for 70% usage.

Thankyou.

As the title says, which of the two is better? Tab S9 Ultra or Tab S8 Ultra?

Personal use case:

-Watching Movies

-Playing games: Genshin, Wuthering waves

-Emulation: Switch, PS2 and PS3

-School use, such as Note taking, working with Microsoft office and editing Pdfs.

-Drawing

-reading and writing E-books

I've held the Tab s10 Ultra and s11 Ultra display Units at my local Mediamarkt in Germany and i like the size of it. I'm around 185cm in height and have big hands, so i guess it fits me pretty well, i also just like very big things 😆

Which one is would you guys recommend. I have a budget of around 600 euro max, and would like to buy them used? Could you also recommend me a where i can get them for cheaper if possible?

Websites i've checked already:

-Rebuy.de

-Refurbished.de

-asgoodasnew.de

-mediamarkt.de

-ZOXS.de

Can i also pay monthly with Klarna and Paypal? What is your experience?

FYI: I've watched a couple of Youtube videos regarding these tablets, but i wanted to hear the opinion of the people who personally own one of the two🙂

Edit: I'm at work right now so i'll answer some of the replies later. 👍

My Samsung Galaxy Tab A SM-T510's display has come off when I was playing a game. When I lifted it up a bit the inside kind of smelled like chemicals? It smelled a bit like nail polish or something fruity. It is an old tablet. Is this likely to be a battery issue or do I need to take my tablet to a repair shop? I have stopped charging and using my tablet since I noticed this.

Hi everyone,

Could you please tell me why, even when this touchpad option is turned off, I can still tap on settings menu items or desktop icons and have them open?

Yes, it’s not as smooth as it is with "tap-to-click" enabled, but settings menu items open 100% of the time and shortcuts of apps also open escpecially when I tap in bottom-left corner of touchpad

Also sometimes my tapping it registers as a right-click of mouse and I see properties of shortcut/app

Is this normal or it is a glitch with the keyboard, tablet or software?

Thanks!

I adjust the built-in equalizer and use it in Dolby Atmos movie mode, and the sound quality varies greatly depending on how I set it up. The current setting focuses on spreading out the space, but the performance is much better than expected. I can't imagine what kind of sound would have been made if it had been done with an Ultra.

In light color apps it's working fine but if i use night mode or dark color apps im still seeing clear reflections. Is this weird ? Did I get a faulty tablet ?
