The background music be banging wtf😂😂😂

[@waynemargot2746]

Sorry the crappy music in the background got me to cut this off after a minute. Good job.

[@deanbarlow8344]

Ridiculous isn't it?

[@sukhqazmi5837]

Big screen is not a Con, it is a preference n we are thankful to Samsung for still giving us the powerpacked S pen INSIDE the box unlike some other "fruity" companies... The only minor discomfort especially in beginning might be the inscreen fingerprint sensor n the camera notch... I still prefer the side fingerprint sensor in the on/off button. The people who have issue with large size can go for other options given by Samsung. And no keyboard or folio cover in box is unnecessary complaining considering other major companies, aren't even offering the pen in the box. Though i still wish Samsung kept giving us charger too in box coz some countries don't have original samsung chargers easily available in market. Buying such expensive tech n then buying a charger separately makes one anxious at the authenticity of that charger n safety of device on charging with it.

This is actually exactly what I wanted from my S8 Ultra, and I love that it is finally waterproof. Sometimes I have to use mine near water and I've been lucky with the S8.

[@technologyisawesome6913]

I am still happy with my tab S7 plus, and I think I will continue to use it for the next 1 or 2 years.

[@frankmoon9350]

At the price point. I would just buy a laptop. That's just me though.

[@RadiateROBLOX]

Who will make notes

[@RadiateROBLOX]

Medical lecc not available on laptops

[@Th3Shrike]

It really isn't worth it unless you got a trade in, student discount, and Rakuten cash back. When it's only 400 ish for the ultra with half a tb storage, then it's kinda 'might as well'

[@RadiateROBLOX]

@Th3Shrike who wants to play games I just study and consume content

[@RadiateROBLOX]

@@Th3Shrike u won't understand small screen problems

[@markcastillo3490]

[@soulja12ful]

[@shhh3683]

Can we do video editing and does it comes with free Ms office? I'm writing this comment before watching the video btw so if it is already mentioned in video then ignore this comment

[@telefoonjoost]

Thank you for the review. However the constant music behind your voice makes it hard to listen to for me

[@tytownsend8219]

Waiting on mine now, can't wait

[@christianmendoza2223]

Same hoping since I pre-ordered I can pick up before the 11

[@sukhqazmi5837]

Thankyou for a very to the point quick review on the tablet n honest one

[@LK-bz9sk]

Can you edit PowerPoint and do Word docs on this as in Office suite as in on a PC?

[@SsquishyFish]

[@mahatmagaand]

Can someone explain how this isn't a paid review

[@dsalbert3]

I'm a screen door tester for submarines. This will be great for work!

[@scharelbrown9027]

Hopefully they will have 5g for the ultra tablet soon in the states 😊

[@FACTUAL_KEY]

Sis will a 25w adaptor do fast charging 2.0 for the s9 ultra?

[@Bilgewater]

Yes

[@octs609]

can you let me know how good the S pen is compared to the apple pen

[@mkillagorilla]

it comes with the tablet and does not require charging , feels more like an actual pen unlike the apple pen , and it has a lower latency.

[@octs609]

@nenegil ok thanks brother
