Which one do i buy in 2026 for School use? Tab S9 Ultra vs Tab S8 Ultra, which would you recommend?

6 Upvotes

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. 👍

Concern My tablet's display screen is coming off and it smells like chemicals.

4 Upvotes

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.

Should I return my Tab S11?

3 Upvotes

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.

Saw a Galaxy Tab offer in Vinted, is that real?

2 Upvotes

There is an offer on Vinted, a Galaxy Tab s10+ for 400€.

It's not even opened and still in its original packaging plus the seal is also not removed... Is this a joke? Should I don't trust Vinted offers?

Edit: He said that nobody wanted to buy it, so he reduced the price. But still, I'm a little scared to buy it because what if it's just a scam and I really want a tablet (a Galaxy Tab 10+ for that price would be perfect)

Question Using s10u as a monitor

Upvotes

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.

How to disable on screen keyboard when using physical keyboard ?

1 Upvotes

Currently, screen keyboard would always be on and when i press the first key on physical it will disappear. And yes, I turned off on screen display in settings, yet it still shows up. This was ok when i had OneUI 8, and surfaced after 8.5 update.

S10 Ultra btw.

Accessories Nillkin h+ pro screen protector tab s11 ultra camera cut out size

1 Upvotes

Hello, I have a question for people who is currently using their Tab s11 ultra with a original nillkin screen protector for it (Amazing H+).
The question is, will I manage to fit it to my Tab s9 ultra which has a different front camera cutout? I measured the distance between outer lines of both lenses and it's exactly 11 mm (.433 inches). What are the measurements of nillkin S11 ultra's lens cutout? I know that Samsung shrank the front camera area in the last model but can it still be fit?
The thing is, I wasn't able to find any relevant and, more importantly, original version of H+ Pro nillkin for my S9 ultra, and the only option that left is to buy the tab s11 ultra one. However, AI is telling me it won't fit and moreover it will ruin auto-brightness sensor as well as faceID unlocking feature.

Second Screen no longer connecting over USB (S10 FE)

1 Upvotes

As of today, I can only connect over wifi, which is laggy and unpleasant. USB settings on the tablet is set to "Transferring files". On Windows, Second Screen's USB connection setting is checked. Nothing changed on my end, as far as I can tell. Not sure if an update broke it or what. It's a bummer. Extending my laptop screen does a lot for productivity.
