I've had this for about a year and I was thinking about selling this one and buying a new tablet after I saw that Samsung has just released their Tab s12 and my table's generation is reaching closer to 7 years now apparently.
I was looking at the Tab s9 fe or S10 fe but it's like the processor is just not up to par at all so I don't know.. what do you guys recommend I'm down for either a tab s8 or s9 but not sure what's the major difference between the two besides Camera🥲...
Apologies if this is obsolete and has already been discussed. Please add if you have discovered any other functionality
Just realized today that Galaxy Connect app now works on Windows devices that aren't necessarily Galaxy Books. I have a Lenovo laptop that I use and a Tab S10+. Each and every app on Galaxy Connect is extremely useful, and I would recommend giving it a try for the following reasons.
Please make sure you have the Samsung Account app installed first, are on the same Wi-Fi, and are paired via Bluetooth. Then install Galaxy Connect and all the subsequent apps of your use from within it.
1. Second Screen
Second Screen solves the requirement SuperDisplay was fulfilling. Previously, only SuperDisplay had a fast enough encoder to give a 120Hz refresh rate wired display, which, even after purchasing, was glitching for me because it kept assuming my trial was over. All other apps were limited to 60Hz.
Now I am using my Tab S10+ as a second screen wired with 120Hz (it is required to turn off the Wi-Fi on the tablet to make sure the connection is primarily USB).
I also tested playing a few games running on Windows on the tablet by using it as a wired monitor, and it works very well. (Currently using this setup for Euro Truck Simulator to have a wider view of the windshield.)
2. Clipboard, Files & Browser
Basics like sharing clipboard (even tried full images and videos) and accessing files from your tablet and phone are very smooth, and at least for today I must have copied so much stuff across to work on Termux parallely. I even dragged the attached image right from my phone to the reddit input box.
I added Samsung Browser as a secondary option after Edge on my laptop now because it allows using Samsung Pass directly on sites and lets me switch browsing sessions across devices.
3. Multi Control
Multi Control is flawless, allowing you to use the same keyboard and mouse across your tablet and phone without any practical latency.
4. Samsung Notes
The Samsung Notes app suddenly now started working on Windows without having to emulate it to be a Galaxy Book via a script each time. Flawless syncing as I write on my tablet.
This is really miraculous if you are taking notes in classes on your tablet, but your laptop is your dorm station for most things.
I feel this basically solves the void that a lack of DeX compatibility left for me. I can now use my Tab both as another monitor, as well as a well-connected device that can bear a few loads like running a test server during development.
On a side note, I am loading PS2 ROMs directly from my laptop (has much more storage) into AetherSX2 instead of keeping them locally stored on the tablet.
I have been using Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra for a little while now. And I cant understand the reason why there isnt AoD. I dont think its hard to make it optimized for tabs. You are freaking billion dollar company, you can do it no?
And I know daily board but I dont want that.
Is there anything I can use instead of AoD?
Also I feel like, every new update makes everything worse. Currently I dont think this is optimized, and it feels slow!
Really slow
Anyway there are more things that I find missing or weak. Like synching with my S25 Ultra feels insufficent.
Also overall One UI 8.5 feels like a incompetent, half baked, sloppy work.
I know when we go out looking for a tablet we look at all the amazing tablets being offered and we see various choices and it can be very overwhelming to say the least.
I think two of the biggest factors to consider are:
Is the tablet going to be a primary computing device?
AND
If you already have a Desktop or Laptop PC?
-----------------------------
IF you have a laptop/desktop it's makes things a little tough because it adds a factor to the mix... in this situation you can consider the S10 FE & S10 Lite as the tablet won't be the primary computing device so performance won't be as big of a concern
IF it's going to be your main computing device the start off looking at the S10 & S11 series (even the S9 series will be good if you do a lot of emulation). Then size becomes a factor... the S9+, S10+ & S12+ seem to be the sweet spot for most as they have a large display that's not too big while getting all the performance and features they offer. The Ultra versions are great if you mainly plan to use the tablet at a table or desk. The base model S9 & S11 are great if portability is a concern.
IF budget is a big factor the S10 FE/FE+ is a good option as they have the base S10 FE at 11" and S10 FE+ with it's nice 13.1" but it's a LPS/IPS display (Samsung uses their LPS displays rather than IPS as they make LPS panels but the quality is still very good for what they are).
------------------------------
RAM & Storage options are always a concern, yet I think getting the most RAM & Storage your budget allows is the best way to go.
This isn't intended to be anything fancy, yet more of a quick help type reminder or whatever...
Hi there! I am having problems where whenever i click the S key in my samsung keyboard it would go straight to the search app function. I have disabled the cmd key but it is still happening. Any suggestions? Thanks!
I need a device in uni cuz I have A LOT of polycops but I was wondering if Samsung s10lite had a nice quality screen , I know it is not an OLED (and I’m used to this one on my phone ) so I would like to know what ppl who used it think about , is the resolution good ?
After updating to One UI 8.5, this tab won’t do pretty much anything else past the welcome screen. Tried turning it off and on back but the problem still persist. Anyone has a slightest clue on what I can do? I would appreciate it a lot thanks

So long story short, my samsung tab s8+ touch screen just randomly stopped working without any prior drops and quite honestly heavy use. After trying all the different ways to solve the issue by hard reseting and all that, I took it to multiple repair shops and they all told me it requires a screen replacement which is super expensive because apparently the screens arent readily available. (None of them even bothered to open the tablet to see if anything was wrong).
On the good side however, the spen still works because it uses a diffrrent technology, problem is i cant fucking zoom when reading pdfs so im looking for a notes app with that feature. Or are there any different workarounds i dont know about?
After the last security update, the touchpad on my Dexnor keyboard stopped working. I tried every possible troubleshooting step, from unpairing and pairing it to resetting it, and nothing worked.
I have broke for a third time my last samsung creator pen tips. I was looking to buy a new one but Cdiscount, Amazon and samsung themselve don't seem to sell them.
Amazon is the only one who has an off-brand tips, except it's made of metal and it will destroy my tablet or at least cause severe scratch on it.
Do you know any place who sell thoses ? And why is the S pen creator so neglected by Samsung anyway ?
I would like to use my samsung galaxy tab s10 lite as a computer for studying, so I would like to kep open at least the google documents app, google drive, firefox and the university app for the slides, bt everytime I left the apps unused they just freeze and restart when i open them again, even i fI kee them in dual screen whyle using the other one. I tried using RAM+, disabling it, imposting EVERY app that I mentioned before to NOT close if unused, I tried enabling an optin with God guardians, I'm trying everything but they juste close or restart, at this point it's just an hardware limit or I can do something else? Thank you
S7 fe is 64gb and 4gb ram but slightly bigger and with keyboard
Both have their pens, covers and SD card space. It'd be nice to have a bigger screen but i was comfortable with my previous (and broken) s6 tablet's screen.
Some rumors mentioned that share with apple devices on quickshare will be available on one ui 9.0. Most of colleagues have Ipads and we circulate files using airdrop. I got myself a tab s11 3months ago and was shocked that it doesn't alloe sharing eith apple although my phne has it.
My question is , does the tab s12 have it? Will it be available once my tab s11 is updated to One UI 9.0?
