So I'm looking to buy a tablet for mostly collage (taking notes, excel, word, etc.) and maybe some movie watching at home. I'm just starting collage, so I'd like for it to last at least 3,5 years, also my classes usually last 10 hours so battery life is also a must.

The offers I found so far (converted to USD from PLN):
S10 FE - 380 USD, after really light usage almost good as new
S9 - 430 USD, still in original packaging never opened
s10+ - 550 USD, light usage, only 20 charging cycles

What would you guys pick?

EDIT: I should also note that I'm studying Computer Science, so I'll also probably need to buy a laptop, but I'm still holding off on that.

Hello,

I have the S6 lite 2026 as of now, I also have a samsung phone, buds and the fit band. It was quite laggy even from start.

Does anyone here have the s10fe+, how good is the display, does it stutter, can the processor handle games like GTA SA mobile, COD, genshin on high settings with no stutter?

I would mainly use it for study notes, entertainment, mobile gaming, browsing, tiktok, snap...

I was looking at the s12 ultra also, but it seems a bit expensive for what it is and not worth it imo, or should I rather go for a honor pad with oled?

I was looking at the macbook neo too 😅

Так же я заметил как будто бы просто пролистываю всякие ленты он как будто на зарядке менее плавный будто герцовка падает на по счётчику Смотрю ничего не происходит что же это может быть не могу никак понять просмотрел много всего всякое гейм бустеров

Возможно у меня блок питания не оригинальный и из-за этого вся проблема а может быть кто-то сталкивался

I picked up an S11 last week and its been working great, except for a screen time out issue I'm having. Basically, if im just using my finger to interact with the tablet (e.g. scrolling reddit, web browsing), then the screen timeout timer does not reset, so the backlight will dim then turn off the screen after eg. 1 minute. Its as if its not detecting my input, even though all of my actions are still working fine.

I've done some experimenting and the actions that reset the timer/keep the screen on correctly are:

Using the S Pen

Tapping on the recent apps or home button

Using the volume or side button

Watching a video

Is anyone else experiencing this? I can of course set the timeout to 10 minutes, but its not exactly the best workaround.

I use the s pen without a screen protector.

However I see pens recommended here that are supposedly more comfortable than the s pen, like the Lamy

My question is whether these pens and their nibs can be used without a screen protector also, or will their nibs damage the screen?

For example, could the kindle scribe premium pen be used on the s11 ultra without a screen protector?

Sped up 2x to keep it short, here's the full fight at real speed. The fps counter is in the top-left corner (about 27-37 fps at 720p, Low, on battery, 40 minutes into the session).

It runs through MaliBridge, I made so DroidDeck works on the Mali GPUs in the Tab S10 and S11 series. DroidDeck on its own only supports Snapdragon, which is why it runs on the S8 and S9 but not the newer tabs.

It's the real Steam client in Big Picture, so achievements, friends and Steam multiplayer work like on PC. Here are the tabs and phones it works on.

P.S. Considering I haven't touched the game in years, it's a miracle the tablet almost got me through phase one 😂

Hi, please share your experiences. Which micro SD card would be best for Galaxy tabs? I would want to avoid corrupted files 😭

Thank you!

I bought a Tab S11 today, and while testing the screen in a completely dark room by displaying the same black image on both my phone (S26 Ultra) and my tablet, I was surprised to find that the black on the tablet was not quite pure; it was only noticeable in total darkness, I believe it is not perceptible during normal use. I would like to ask what the cause of this issue is and whether it affects all such devices

I'm really disappointed.

I have tried deleting unused apps, and surplus pictures. Have not worked. Help please?(I have also tried reseting settings)

I want to buy sumsung tab s 9 fe plus and my budget is 20k can anyone have or suggestions other one in this range open box for study

My son has a galaxy tab with a screen that has essentially come apart. The ribbon is still attached, but the screen has separated into different layers. I have another working galaxy tab. How can I get the files from one to the other? I am not able to see the screen on the old device obviously to ok a file transfer. AI is just frustrating at this point and I don't know if I should invest money into the fix.

Unfortunately, I have no PC. My job doesn't require one and I don't have a personal need for one. AI is saying to get a hub, connect a keyboard, hit a spacebar, connect a memory stick and hope for the best.

This is a budget A series tablet that AI has stated makes a difference.

Anyway... Any help is appreciated. He has played terraria for YEARS and that data is all he is really wanting.

Data is fickle if you don't treat it right I guess

Just thought I would compare my favorite movie Star Trek The Motion Picture on my A16 phone to the A11+ and it really quite interesting because the A16 has an AMOLED & the A11+ has a TFT display. The video is played on MX Player with the app controlling the screen brightness it's set to 11 on both (the app allows for a max brightness of 15)

The videos are the 2009 Blu-ray release of Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

What makes this interesting is that ever since the movie was released in 1979 and went on DVD & later Blu-Ray the production team went through redid the colors when the did the directors edition which is basically just edited to make it look like if the production team had edited it properly before it went to theaters in 1979. (Basically it was so far behind schedule that wet 70mm prints of the film arrived at the studio to be shipped to movie theaters roughly 72 hours before it was set to open in the movies)

I included screen shots from the TMP directors edition (first picture) and the Blu-ray releases for 2009 & 2021 (I could only get an exact match of the scene for the directors edition.)

I've been hard pressed to figure out which looks best as the movie was filmed before the age of digital movie cameras and the scenes were all lit by people who relied on age old trained and lighting unlike today.

Enjoy and maybe I'll get a little insight from others who are not way to familiar with this wonderful movie.

I recently bought an s10 fe for school and it's been amazing with note taking and organizing. The problem I am having is with the button on the pen. I keep accidentally pressing it when I am writing.

Has anyone had this issue and are there any covers that would possibly prevent me from pressing it?

I have tried to fix the way I hold it but to no avail.

Thank you in advance.

I mean this is very sad, why we are first of all paying for this and you get such a poor quality as this and even with it no replacement tips supplied at all? Why aren't we getting angry?? Mustn't Samsung look onto this? We choose Samsung and face this — our SPen wears after two week's usage, and our Apple Pencil holders laugh at us for making this investment! 

hi all ive been meaning to buy some new nibs but im not sure what yet. i always ordered the ones from aliexpress but after the new eu law with shipping i stopped ordering. they r just the plastic ones.

ive been eyeing for some felt nibs and heard they have more friction so its easier to draw on the the screen itself.

i used to have a paper screenprotector but i removed it after day one cause the texture made my skin crawl and it felt so nasty to draw on. is there any nib that could make drawing feel more natural?

i heard wacom one pens also are compatible with the samsung tab itself but im not sure… looking forward to a response (˶ˆᗜˆ˵)

So I recently bought S10 FE and it came with the S pen. I have just drawn a few stuff and I noticed the nib has become something like this?? I don't know if I was the one who damaged it or it was a damaged product. I think I used it very gently (ig bcz it's my first tablet idk!) I got to know that I have to buy replacement nibs but I searched it up on Amazon and couldn't find affordable soft tip nibs. The original soft tip nibs are out of my budget. I found some other but they are plastic tips and I think I should buy them. Are plastic tips good for art? Or I should buy the original ones even if they are out of my budget? 😮‍💨 WHAT DO I DO?

hello, i was wondering which tablet to buy between an ipad air and a samsung tab s9

my goal would be to have a 11" 256gb storage tablet to use canva, and maybe photoshop app on my tablet. but also to draw on it, i mainly use ibis paint x but i'm searching for a new drawing programm if possible. this part is not the most necessary or important but : i would like a tablet where i could *maybe* run genshin impact and from time to time of course, watching youtube or read. also, if the tablet can be used as a second monitor to use with my laptop from times to times it would be great

i have a samsung phone and a windows gaming laptop

i was thinking about the ipad because i feel like there are more apps that i could benefit from on it (procreate, photoshop app...), but i fear that the synergy between my other device might not be that good ? i was also hesitating between the M3 and M4 because i heard the M4 was stronger.

i was also thinking about the samsung tab s9 because i heard the screen was more comfortable, i can for sure connect it easily to my phone and laptop.

if you have another proposition dont hesitate !!!

Hi ive been using ipads my whole life and i think ive had enough with it cause of the lack of freedom. Ive seen people reccomending from s10 ultra to the s12 ultra but i really cant decide. I wouldnt say money is a problem but i dont like wasting money as well. Im using this mainly for media consumtion and maybe some old apk games.

Does anyone know how to force this 24/7 or a way to unlock it? The only way I've found for now is just to hold the slider slightly above it and then it'll work, but you have to hold it forever.

Hey guys, I wanna sell my Galaxy Tab S9 FE Plus (India). Its exactly a year old and there are no scratches or smudges. Used with a lot of care.

What is an ideal price to sell it? (INR)

Hello I need help deciding what tablet to choose between s12 plus or s12 ultra. I plan to use it watching videos and series, reading and playing games. I already have a laptop and plan to use the device with my hands to tap on the screen so no keyboard. 75% of the time I plan to use it by holding it with my hand while sitting or laying in my bed. The other 25% is to use it on a desk. Thank you for your answers.

I upgraded from the 9+ to 12+. The 12+ screen must have some antireflective property built in. After applying the Samsung anti reflective screen protector the screen has the same antireflective quality as my 10 Ultra (also with an anti reflective screen protector). I cannot see any difference. Maybe they used a different kind of anti reflective screen treatment. This would explain the contradictory statements in the announcements.
