Question Upgrading to Tab S10FE from Tab S6

6 Upvotes

I am thinking of not opening the box and just returning it to amazon since I am an idiot and didn't do proper research. I LOVE my tab S6. It is an awesome tablet and is still going strong but my tab SM-T520 I use for work is just about to completely die. I only use it to watch stored videos during lunch. I was thinking the S10 FE had to be better than my S6 so I bought it for $388 after several weeks of price watching. I discovered that the S10 FE screen is LCD and a lower resolution compared to the S6. Will the screen quality be very noticeable? I use my S6 for videos and web browsing and NES/SNES emulation. I am thinking of returning it and get the S10+ Plus instead but that is over double the price.

Edit: I am returning it and I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+ Plus 12.4” 256GB for $749.00 ($810.79 including tax). Damn that is a lot but the price was at it's second lowest ever according to camel.

Which adapter for Galaxy Tab S10 Lite?

2 Upvotes

I am either utterly stupid or they have done a real good job of hiding this detail but I can only see that the tab has a "Super Fast Charging" compatible battery but it isn't mentioned if it's the 25W or 45W or which one is the max cap. Help please. Thanks :)

Due to the malfunction, we requested repairs from Samsung Electronics service and replaced four parts: the display, display cable, mainboard, and rear frame. As a result, my Tab S9 was almost completely new and returned to my hands. I'm not planning to buy a real Samsung tablet if it breaks down now. The cost was approximately 556.56 USD, but I only paid 139.14 USD using Samsung Care Plus.

Question Tab S11 or S10 plus

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I really need your opinions and experience regarding 2 above models. I planned to used it for note taking (main purpose), some games like Love Nikki and basic drawing. I truly want to use it for long period like 5 years+. Besides, I already owned a Window laptop.

I heard that S10+ used a slightly older chip compare to S11, does that impact alot on device performance? What are your experiences on Old gen and new gen SPen? Does the old ones better than the new one in note taking experiences?

I also consider buying an Ipad, probably air m3/m4 or pro m4 ;-; but idk whether ipad worth the price. There are lots of reviews so i kinda confuse.

Thanks for your opinions and any comment would be appreciated

Accessories Help choosing a keyboard for my samsung tab s7 FE WIFI version with a keyboard

2 Upvotes

Hello,

I have a samsung s7 FE WIFI and I am looking to buy a new case to replace mine. However this time I am looking to buy a case with a keyboard this time. I have been looking into some cases and I found these three:

- Samsung keyboard case

Pros:

- Very lightweight

- Samsung original case

- No charging

- No Bluetooth

Cons

- Very difficult to find

- No trackpad

- Flimsy hinge that requires a solid support

- Expensive

- Doqo maglev keyboard

Pros:

- Backlight keypad

- Small footprint

- Sturdy hinge

- Can have a portuguese keyboard

Cons:

- Trackpad is laggy

- Not a good place to store pen

- The battery needs charging

- Bluetooth keyboard

- Dexnor for samsung

Pros:

- Place to store pen

- Good brightness for the backlight

- Good and sturdy hinge

- Good trackpad

Cons:

- Heavier from the 3

- The battery needs charging

- Bluetooth keyboard

- on website only says its compatible with the s7 FE 5G version not the WIFI

My question is if there is anymore to consider or if any of these options is good and it's a clear winner. I consider the trackpad because in some cases it would be very helpful. Also the back light is important to me.

Thanks for the help in advance

Question Flashing unlocked original FW on Tab S10+

1 Upvotes

Question Is this an adhesive issue? Can I order glue from samsung to solve it?

Post image
57 Upvotes

Hello! Sorry if I sound ignorant and the image is off.

Basically, Ive had this tablet since late 2023, and I've been taking care of it with minimized water exposure and drops. I first observed the problem last year, but ignored it since I can't have my tablet away from me. Now I have the time, but I don't have close access to any samsung authorized repair centers.

I've looked at some posts here in the sub, but I just need external validation (haha) thats its primarily an adhesive issue rather than a battery issue? Also has anyone faced the same situation and just ordered the adhesive to diy it themselves?

Question I want to start drawing on a tablet on a budget, what is my best bet?

2 Upvotes

I can buy a:

Galaxy Tab S10 lite for €269/306$

Galaxy Tab S10 FE for €399/455$

Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ for €539/614$

€550 is my max budget, less is better (getting married).

I would also like to do some video editing, just for fun. But I'm fanatical when I try something new.

Only thing I don't like is the build quality and the screen of the FE editions, but that's what they are about ofcourse (My grandma's old Tab S2 feels better).

Is the price hike between them worth it? Are they good for drawing and video editing?

And are they good for (for me) secondary usecases like watching movies and reading magazines and articles?

Question Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ has been out of stock in India for 2 weeks – any idea when it'll be back?

3 Upvotes

I've been planning to buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE+, but it's been showing out of stock in India for around the last 2 weeks on most major platforms.
Does anyone know:
When Samsung usually restocks the Tab S10 FE+ in India?
Is there any chance it'll be back before the next sale?
Has anyone heard anything from Samsung or retailers about upcoming stock?
Also, if it doesn't come back soon, what are the best alternatives in the same price range (around ₹45k–55k) with a large display, stylus support, and good performance for note-taking, media, and occasional gaming?

I'd really appreciate any updates or recommendations. Thanks!

Discussion Real world experience with Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra and previous Ultra models. Is it worth buying?

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I am planning to buy a tablet soon. I am deciding between getting the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra or waiting for the expected Tab S12 Ultra. I know the S12 Ultra will mainly bring a chipset upgrade, but having a device that is one year newer feels like a nice bonus.

I plan to use it as my main device for movies, gaming, and general everyday tasks.

YouTube reviews are good for overview, but long term owner experience is what really matters. I would really appreciate your honest thoughts on these points:

Battery Life and Charging: How many hours of screen time do you get during video streaming and regular use? How long does it take to charge from 0 to 100 with a 45W charger?

Screen and Visuals: How is the movie watching experience on this screen? Is the brightness sufficient under direct light, and how deep are the blacks?

Smoothness and UI Performance: Do you notice any lag or micro stutters in One UI over time? How does the tablet handle heavy multitasking and high end games?

Durability and Build: How solid does this massive body feel?

Does it bend when carried in a backpack, or is a hard case essential right from day one?

Cooling: Does the device get hot during extended gaming, heavy tasks, or playing 4K videos?

S Pen for Artists: Is it comfortable for drawing and digital art? Are there good dedicated drawing apps available on Android for this screen size?

If it's not a secret, how much did it cost you, and which version did you purchase? I plan to save up for a 5G version with 16/1024 GB of storage, which I estimate to cost around $1700-2000. What do you think, is it worth it?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience!
