Review: Best VFM Android tablet for content consumption &
productivity, goldilocks size and price - Bought it for 34,695
INR which I feel is a good price for the value this tablet
offers. It isn't too big and unwieldy like the Tab S9 Ultra and
it's not too small either. I got the Wi-Fi 8GB RAM/128GB model as
I thought the RAM is enough for productivity & portable content
consumption (already have too many other dedicated devices for
gaming), and if it's really required I can just pop in an SD card
or shuffle files back and forth across my many devices. Since it
has an Exynos processor and not a Snapdragon I was a bit
apprehensive about the performance being sufficient for my needs,
but there's nothing to worry about; it's snappy and responsive
enough for all tasks. I haven't tried graphics intensive games
myself but reviews say it performs okay. I was also worried about
the LCD TFT but as an S24U user who also uses an LG C2 4K OLED TV
as a monitor, I have no complaints about the S9 FE+'s screen. It
is a Samsung device, after all; they're one of the best display
manufacturers. The pictures don't do justice to the way comics
look on this screen; the colors are way better in person. Videos
look good to my eye too; not going to pixel peep and go looking
for flaws. Sound quality and clarity is great and loudness is
more than enough for one or two people watching or listening to
something on it. The S Pen misses out on BT connectivity but I
barely use air gestures on the S24U so it's not something I'll
miss; OTOH, it's obviously bigger and much easier to hold than
the phone's S Pen. If the angle between the screen and S Pen is
too small, there's a chance it may fail to register input; but
holding it as one would when writing on paper, there are no
issues. There are YT vids by actual artists that say it's a great
device for those so inclined; I'm not really one of them so can't
comment on that. The weight of the tablet alone is manageable but
it's quite smooth and thin, so unless one pays constant attention
to how the tablet is held it may be at risk of slipping and
taking a tumble. It's best to get a good kickstand cover that has
a hand and shoulder strap. I bought a ProElite cover that arrived
a day after the tablet, and I was using it gingerly until then;
the added weight is completely offset by the added security,
convenience, and ease of use. There's a LOT of functionality I
saw on reviews and tips YT vids that I've yet to try out myself,
but I've shown some multitasking in the video I recorded;
research and watch dedicated videos to know more. It's quite the
rabbit hole - so much so that even remembering all the
possibilities is tough. Samsung Flow is GREAT. FINALLY someone
has worked out how to tie different form factor devices (and even
different platforms) together seamlessly and bring user
experience to new heights. Transferring files is a breeze, screen
mirroring works flawlessly, and even Wi-Fi tablets can apparently
call/text/chat via some Samsung connected tech - though I could
only send messages between my devices and wasn't able to make or
receive calls on the tablet - but there should be something I'm
missing or not doing in order to get that to work. Should
probably get a friend to call, or try calling a friend - since
both my phones are Samsung and everything is interconnected. But
other than calls not working on the tablet, everything else is
very impressive, they've really thought out the Samsung ecosystem
well; makes me wonder what else is possible. I'm completely
satisfied with my purchase. There's a lot to understand so do
your research to figure out if it's the tablet for you!
Review: Overview, Real world use-case Scenario - I'll keep it
short. It's a really good tab for the price. Everything is butter
smooth, the Spen is just beautifull. Easy 2 day battery backup on
full day use. The build quality is Good, doesn't heat for normal
to light gaming. The body is robust. The Speakers r ok or "good"
it's a dual stereo, there's other's with quad jbl so not the best
but certainly not the worst, it's good, the bass the mids and
lows, it's a balanced speaker. The screen, yes 12.4" is big, even
tho it's not an Oled, you certainly won't feel the difference
much unless u keep it side by side with an SAmoled or Oled one's.
And yes the exynos even tho is not the best Processor, u get 7+
gen 3 in same price. Double to triple the antutu score. But don't
underestimate it. It's efficient for most part, no lags, 4k
youtube all good, no issues, bcz it's a samsung built one, it's
more optimized for it's environment. So certainly not a bad
Processor. Not the worst, but not the best. An overall good one.
Light to medium gaming, Medium settings, no issues. It's an
overall better Tab I'd suggest it over other one's in same price
segment for one main reason. The One UI, That makes the
integration of everything buttery smooth, even with only 8gb ram,
i never once felt a lag or jitter the Ram handling and Process
management is just awesome. The best UI when it comes to
stability and customization ( Good Lock fully supported )
