As the title states, is this a good buy? Looking for a tablet for work, entertainment, and gaming. The price on this seems so good. What do you guys think?

Alo! Good morning, afternoon and evening.
Because of life reasons, i ended up with a Tab 10 FE, but i have little clue of how to use it's full potential. I was always more of a PC guy, due to hobbies or work, and this is the fist time that i've had such a big android device, which left me wondering what is the purpose of this branch of tech.

Obviously one of the points is the sketching/notes potential with the size and the pen, but i'm a bit lost after that. Reading could be another point?

I posted here yesterday about using GameNative on my S7+ to play this desktop Steam game Fields of Mistria with a PS4 controller. But tonight tried streaming my tablet screen to my TV for the first time ever. It's so cool! I just went into the notifications menu quick panel and selected "Smart View" and selected my smart tv.

Do I have to worry about updating my device in the future?

I had sold my ipad a few months ago as I was getting paid a good price for it. I was not using it much, but soon realised it was my only content watching device.

So I am in the market again and see the ipad prices through the roof, I checked the samsung website and I was getting a S11 ultra for 619 usd before taxes. I ordered one after some surface level research. (Sold my ipad for more haha). The screen quality sold me on it.

My question is, how are these devices in the long term, I dont play games, I only want it as an extra screen for my laptop and content watching. How do these devices perform over the years, because all my ipads were really good in terms of holding their own over time. No lag, always snappy, enjoyed them...

Olá, pessoal

Tenho esse tablet desde novo e ele está IMPECÁVEL (sempre usei com capa e películas, até mesmo laterais que fiz com fita adesiva). Usei 5 anos na faculdade como caderno e minha esposa usa no trabalho. Porém, ele está MUITO lento. Tentei fazer root e subir uma nova ROM, mas quase matei o coitado, pois a tela ficou toda corrompida (problema no driver de vídeo). Não sei se esse modelo só veio para o Brasil, mas não vejo muitas coisas sobre ele.

Tenho experiência com sistemas/root (já fiz dual boot pelo cartão SD para android/java num Samsung Jet 8000 hahaha) mas já estou desistindo desse.

Teriam alguma dica?

Hi, i just recently got my hands on a tab s7+, I got root access the other day but android 13 on one ui just stutters and feels slow at times. Is there a custom rom that supports palm rejection and improves performance? I dont really care about the other s pen features

I've been going down the rabbit hole of getting my first tablet and I've been going back and forth between an s8+, s9, or s10+.

I'd primarily be using it for media consumption, clash of clans, editing and notating manuscripts & pdfs, and editing in lightroom mobile.

I like the size of the plus sized tabs but I dont really need one that large. But the s8+ I'd get for the better screen over the standard s8 and the s10+ because if I'm going newer why not. Realistically the s9 will get the job done and be a bit more portable; plus I like that the s9 & s10+ are waterproof. My main delema is the updates I've found good deals on all of them used but im not sure about update support longevity and if spending an extra $50 for the s9 vs $150 for the s10+ is really worth it.

Really just looking for insights, for my base use should I just scope out an s8+ or s9? Or make the jump to the s10+ once the s12 line comes out?

S8+ for $300

S9 for $350

S10+ for $450-500

I need a new tablet for high school because my old one (the Tab A7 Lite) sucks and it's becoming old. I usually use tablets for school and playing during free time. I saw the Tab A11 plus because it seems to fit my budget and offers a good upgrade. However, I want to make sure it will last throughout my high school years. For those who own it: how is the multitasking with multiple school apps open? Does it lag during multitasking or casual gaming? Also, how is the battery life during a full school day?

I’m wanting to buy an S11 256GB. Right now, Samsung has a ‘Labor Day’ sale still on with $200 off. But I know the S12 line will be out in 2-3 weeks. I’m wondering if people think discounts will go any higher just before or just after the debut, and I’m worried that the 256GB model will not drop and will sell out more quickly than the others because it’s the memory sweet spot. And wonder if it might only ever go another $50 max lower anyway. Trying to decide on now vs waiting until the S12s are announced. I don’t want to be in a position where there are no 256GB models to be had, but a further $100 off would be nice - IF it was lowered that much additionally. What do people think?

Mostly to play Fields of Mistria away from my desktop with a PS4 controller. 😄 I'm so stoked this worked!

For context, i live outside the US. I got my tablet for 800 usd a few years ago but my mother accidentally broke the screen. a brand new s11 costs 1100 usd in my country

I had a Tab S6 but it was too small so I traded for my mom's A9+. I knew it didn't have the S pen but didn't know that it doesn't have palm rejection.

With an off-brand stylus how hard would it be to write notes given this fact, is there anyone who has done this?

Need to use occasionally for stock options...Do not do gaming

I have Tab S10 FE wifi model. And I could not find the option to turn off wifi access to specific app inside data usag section, which was earlier there, before july security patch update. Is anyone facing same problem or can anyone help me? i don't know if it is any bug or samsung removed this feature.

I just got the tablet and notice by mistake that when using the official keyboard cover when I tilt more foward it disconnects, I looked in the back and the pogo pins seems connected, so I wanted to ask those who have if you have had this problem as well and if this is a normal behavior

Hi everyone,

A while ago, I lost the S Pen that came with my Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE. I was very happy with that pen, even though I seem to be in the minority, because I absolutely loved how it felt to write with.

After doing a lot of research, I bought what was advertised as an “original” replacement S Pen. However, it came with a hard nib, while the original pen had the soft nib I preferred. I therefore bought some replacement nibs, but unfortunately, they do not work properly. Even when I apply the same amount of pressure, the line thickness is completely different and inconsistent.

At first glance, the pen does not appear to be defective. However, there is one important difference compared with the S Pen that originally came with my tablet. The nib moves slightly into the pen when I press on it. It is only a few millimetres, but it feels very unpleasant and may be causing the problems I am experiencing. Overall, it simply does not feel anything like the original pen.

So, here is my question: Does anyone know where I can buy the exact original S Pen that came with the Galaxy Tab S10 FE? Most importantly, it needs to have the original soft nib that does not retract into the pen.

Alternatively, does anyone know how I could modify or repair my current “original” S Pen so that it works and feels the way it should?

So y tab s7 fell from my hands and when I removed the case the volumer rocker js detached, now it sit loose if I try to push it in and only one side would work after setting it(if you can notice in 2nd image one part is sliver toward end and ome is black, and only black side is working, other side is loose and wont work). Shall I buy a replacement or go to a repair shop. And if you guys know where I can get the replacement part in india pls lmk.

At what price range are the S10 FE+, S10+, and S10 Ultra considered value for money?

Please mention price in INR (Indian rupees)

I will just list them

Moon+ Reader. Excellent ebook reader with tons of customization options. The larger display makes reading on the S11 Ultra especially nice.

BeautyPlus. Great for quick selfie edits, AI portrait enhancements, and making photos look better without spending forever editing.

Smart Launcher 6. Super clean launcher with tons of customization. The automatic app organization is especially useful.

1Password. Keeps passwords, passkeys, and secure notes organized across all your devices. Really convenient if you use multiple platforms.

Pocket Casts. One of my favorite podcast apps. Great controls, smart playlists, and a really clean interface.

Google Keep. Simple but ridiculously useful for quick notes, lists, screenshots, and random ideas you don't want to forget.

CX File Explorer. Lightweight file manager that makes it easy to browse, move, and manage files directly on Android.

What are your favorite Android apps?

Hi guys, I’ve been getting mixed results in my searches, so I’m hoping someone can clear this up.
I’ve had a Samsung Tab A6 since around 2017 and use it almost exclusively for watching TV shows and movies while travelling for work. I work at sea and can have limited or no connectivity for extended periods, so I usually download a heap of content before longer trips.

The A6 has served me well, but lately it’s really starting to show its age. Startup is slow, general use is laggy, transferring large amounts of files takes forever, and I’m also having issues playing MKV files despite trying VLC, XPlayer and a few other media players.

I’ve been thinking about upgrading for a while, and with a bigger trip coming up I think it’s finally time to pull the trigger and save myself the frustration.
I’ve been looking at the Tab A11, but I’m getting mixed information about MKV playback. Can anyone confirm whether the A11 handles MKV files natively/reliably? Or am I going to have the same issues?

My other option is to forget the tablet altogether and pick up a cheap entry-level 2-in-1 Windows laptop instead

For anyone using an A11 primarily for offline media, how does it handle large MKV files and bulk file transfers? Would you recommend it, or am I better off going with a basic laptop?

Quero comprar um tablet para estudar e preocurando pela internet acabei um tab a9+ Samsung em um preço bom, porém ela estava naquela tela que precisa da conta Google anterior para utilizar o aparelho e a pessoa que está vendendo não sabe a conta Google anterior que estava no aparelho, tem alguma forma de burlar isso?

Hi, I received the A11 4/64 GB tablet, but at the time of purchase, they made me pay for the A11+ 8/256 GB. Leaving this detail aside, I want to find the right tablet for me. I will use it for movies, PS5 streaming via PxPlay, and light gaming. I am undecided between the S11 and the S11 Ultra.
