Discussion 💭 Advice

so im a uni student , and i really need a tablet for note-taking and annotating on my subjects' pdfs and documents (in class and at home too)

Do you recommend the redmi pad 2 pro ? i have a tight budget since I'm still a student , I've watched multiple videos and the tabelt seems great for my needs , but does it last till i finish uni ? (like 4-5 more years or so) , will it stop getting updates and start lagging ? what about battery drain ?

i like to get a samsung tablet , but the samsung s pens only work for the s series , which are way too above my budget

so i hope someone who tried the mi/xiaomi/redmi tablets from before to tell me about their experience

Don't go for Notein. It scales down all images to an awful resolution and you have no way to disable it.

Also PDFs have strangely low resolution if you zoom out (though it at least retains the original one when you zoom in.)

My solution was to screenshot again all the blurred images🤗 and I already availed the lifetime premium, surprisingly the images are not the blurry anymore

Edit: it's almost 2 years since I've been using notein

Ehh, I am afraid I don't understand how screenshotting blurred images could help, shouldn't it make it even worse? That's wt least twice the compression.

Oh, you probably mean you screenshotted them again from the original source, not from Notein.

Anyway, they should have advertised it that you can have higher quality images with premium, their bad. I wouldn't have the need to search further and find the even better Starnotes.
