@@xanderyusuf7494 Apparently this effect you're describing is called color fringing and it's prevalent in OLED panels. I noticed this on my tablet right away but it became unnoticeable in regular use. Your phone likely doesn't have this effect because its screen is so crisp due to its high pixel density which is almost double that of your tablet's screen.

Samsung needs to optimize its software. I have had the base S8 since its launch and before One UI 6 the battery lasted about 10 hours (100-20)% and 2 days of use. Currently, UI 6.1 has improved but it is still 7:30 hours on average, it should be comparable in the larger versions.

Brand new, I don't think it's a good buy. $700 for a tablet that'll be behind your phone's operating system in about a year and a half is a hard sell, I think. But I paid $470 for mine refurbished. It came with one of the corners having the tiniest ding on it that I forgot immediately, otherwise basically brand new. If two years from now I decide I want the new one so I can have the latest OS and features and also refresh my battery, I suspect the trade in value will be around $300-400 (based on current trade in deals and a bit of guesswork) - which if I paid $470 to get the tablet and $80 for a keyboard, then I'm only out $150-250 for having the S8U for 2.25 years compared to if I didn't buy it and waited to get the S12U outright. Tack another $230 on that if you're buying new, it's not really any better price per year than just getting the S9U and riding it until the S13U then trading in, plus you won't get the free Buds 2 Pro that were being packed in with S9U last week or whatever other bundle deals come up whenever you happen to look.

There is a deal going on right now where samsung is giving 800 bucks trade in credit towards s9 ultra. I'm not sure if I should hold on, pull the trigger, or wait to trade it in towards a s10 ultra.

@Juslovgranturismofan Oh, I thought the 4 years of updates was only for phones. In that case, unless something significant comes up (e.g. Tab S10 has tandem oled like the iPad and anti-reflection like the S24U so it's actually fine in bright lighting conditions), I'm probably fine holding onto the S8U until somewhere in the ballpark of fall 2026 without even missing out on OS upgrades. Maybe even 2027, though that might be pushing it.

Just got S8 Ultra for $450 with the official Samsung case cover with track pad for $450. Saw that the S9 Ultra had $250 instant discount, with $800 trade in of the S8 Ultra for the 512 GB storage model. I pulled the trigger only having to pay $270. All in, the S9 Ultra will be delivered today only paying $720. So almost half of. I figured I’d get it to have the better chip set, RAM and way more storage, with the added leverage of the S9 having more trade in value when the S10 finally releases. Figured I mod the S8 book cover to fit the S9 or sell the book cover towards the new book cover.

I would do an OLED burn in test on KZbin. Pause the screen when various colors pop up. See if there's any images burned into the screen. Every once in awhile, it's pretty rare, but about once a year Best Buy takes down their display models. So you might get a display model that's been running a demo for a year straight, which leads to burn-in on the screen. I had that happen once, and I was able to send it into Samsung under warranty.

Compared s8 ultra 128 gb and betweeen a 128gb -1tb sd card expension. If I want to do something fast or productive, then I do it on my computer, not on Ipad.

You hit the nail on the head so hard. If your operating system is going to be limited, if you're going to be working on a tablet anyway, the most important thing is going to be the screen. It helps for entertainment, obviously the S8 ultra comes with an s pen so you get a stylus versus paying more for an apple pencil. You get a much better AMOLED display, you get a much larger display, keep in mind that even the newer 13-in iPad still isn't 14.6 in and you do pay for size. Typically. You also do get some productivity software like Samsung Dex, and if all that wasn't enough, expandable storage, so many reasons to go Galaxy Tab

Just traded my S8 Ultra only was $150 what I paid in total, barely noticed screen burn, hopefully it's acceptable as trade in.

I think you mean the tab S7 plus. They never had a Tab S7 Ultra. They only had a smaller 12.4 in device. Just keep in mind that they offered less software updates back with the S7 series.

I feel you, Maybe I really need to cover some of these other tablets. I'm a US channel though so I often lean towards covering US released devices vs importing other devices, I'll consider it though in the future.

Even after offering all these features why are they lagging behind iPads, locked ecosystem..?
@AndroidDigest4 ай бұрын
I don't think they're lagging behind as much as people think. For one, one of the advantages of the iPad is app optimization. It's not a lot of apps honestly, but there are a few apps that are better optimized for ipads, a lot of that is simply because of the perception of things. I went to lunch with someone today and they made a joke about Android tablets being toys. There is an elitist attitude that is out there, and that's especially going to exist with executives and people with large amounts of money. So when those decisions are being made from the top on what apps you need to optimize, even if there is a large base of people that use Android tablets, which there are, people want their app to feel premium so having their app only optimized on the premium fancy iPads is something that some executives decide to do. Things are starting to change a lot but there are still a few more optimized apps on ipads. There's also final cut, and since that's an Apple only thing anyway, then bringing that and a couple other Pro apps to the ipad, it's not many apps, it's not many apps people use, but that is one other advantage. The last advantage is power. Apple sort of got lucky with that. No one was making arm powered laptops that were any good. Apple ended up making arm and found a way to make a super powerful processor on the laptop, the M1 processor. Since arm processors are able to be fit into places pretty easily, they were able to fit it into a tablet form factor. So having laptop level power in a tablet is a big deal. These advantages are small. Practically speaking, most people won't notice the difference in performance between an iPad and a Galaxy tablet. Galaxy tablets also have significant advantages like coming with an s pen, and Galaxy tablets have Samsung Dex which is amazing for productivity. When you factor all of those things in it really does balance things out. In my opinion 95% of people don't need an ipad. If you're in the Android ecosystem, I would definitely recommend a Galaxy tablet for pretty much everyone out there. And we are getting faster and better arm processors on android, we are getting better off optimization. Things are improving for sure

Do the OnePlus Pad now that the 2nd one is one the horizon
@AndroidDigest4 ай бұрын
That would be a great one to revisit. Sadly I only do 1 video a week. I've got a new Asus Chromebook tablet that just came out, I plan to cover eventually the Moto G Stylus from 2024, to mix it up with a mid-range phone. I also want to cover the Lenovo M11, I try to cover every tablet I can that releases in the US at least once, so I've already got several videos planned, and by the time I have so many other videos to do. I do miss my OnePlus Pad though by the way, I think it is one of the most underrated tablets out.

This or the S9+?
@AndroidDigest4 ай бұрын
Personally I think the biggest difference is going to be size. The S8 Ultra you could also find for a little bit of a cheaper price too. The S9 plus is going to have better battery life, it's going to have a slightly faster processor, the screen will even be slightly brighter and better. And it has water resistance. There are definitely some advantages. But the screen is a little smaller, and on Galaxy tablets you pay for screen size. That's why the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra is almost the same exact tablet as the S9 plus, but you're paying a lot more. You're mainly paying for screen size. So you really have to ask yourself if you want a ginormous tablet or if you want a tablet that's a little smaller but it's still great for productivity, and portability too. I think for most people the ultra devices are a little too big. But they are amazing for those people that fit the niche
