I've just stumbled on your review and I'm very impressed that you prepared for it and was using the tablet for a month already before giving the review. It's refreshing to see this type of reviews rather than the usual unboxing reviews. 👌

Nice. I always search for a review of something and open about 10 tabs and watch all of them. But, you covered everything in this video and saved me a bunch of time! Thank you!

I recently got this tab and can u please tell me that is it safe to use the pen without the case or it is necessary to use the cover for the pen tip??

[@ZeroEightTwenty]

Nice review! I've been enjoying this tablet for over a month now, and I agree this thing is surprisingly good. I'm glad I've swapped this for my old Xiaomi Pad 5. This also came with a free brick charger and the one piece version of the slim keyboard cover. If you want a Tab S9 but too constrained on the budget, this is your next choice. You're not losing all that much, except maybe the DeX version where you can export your display to an external monitor.

[@STEPHdj92]

What other options do I have if I want to display the content on an external monitor or a TV? I know its not possible via cable but I guess it should be possible wireless, right? Does it require any special App or it works with any conventional monitor?

[@ZeroEightTwenty]

@STEPHdj92 If via wireless, you can via Chromecast to a TV or perhaps a smart monitor. The USB port is 2.0, so there's really not much option on a wired connection.

[@STEPHdj92]

@@ZeroEightTwenty thanks for your response. So there is no way to stream to a normal computer monitor if it is not smart?

Hi does your screen flickers when you attach and remove the tablet on the samsung book cover keyboard?Laptop/landscape mode. Especially when the DARK MODE or EYE COMFORT SHIELD is ON?

[@jerryberry2002]

The $320 price you're getting includes $80 off for some offer program you qualify for. Other people can't get that price!

[@Tippers94]

Well if you do as he suggests, the Samsung Shop app is very generous with discounts. Yes, every customer will qualify for different discounts. But I found it on sale for $415 (same as Best Buy) but I was able to get a $70 keyboard for free. I'm not going to lie I have no idea how I did it. But I just read their suggestions and either answer the questions (like getting a discount for being a medical worker) or read the promotions and you will always find personalized deals.

I got it in Saudi Arabia with 1600 riyal which is almost 370$ , considering that products in Saudi are more expensive than the rest of the world or USA i found it in amazon USA with 320$ price tag which is 1200 SAR

Also performance seems to be better as well with the flagship compared to the FE.
