I wish my iPad had this... [Samsung Galaxy Tab 10 Ultra REVIEW]

[@azenyr]

Samsung should just fire their whole marketing department. No one even tech addicted people knew that these tablets even got released. First they didn't talk about DeX. Now they don't even talk about the tablets...

[@AnJe..]

There's a reason behind it. A lot of the Ultra 23 mobile didn't sell well because of the green line display issue. Marketing a new product claiming it to be better than the previous products will make people skip S23 Ultra. That's y. A lot of samsung phones are still on the shelves.

[@BakrAli10]

​@@AnJe.. What's green line display issue? I want to by either S23+ or S24+/Ultra, do they have the same/any issues?

[@AnJe..]

@@BakrAli10 1. S23 Ultra has a curved screen. 70% of the S23 Ultra has screen layer peeling at the bottom of the screen. It looks so ugly. Samsung's response: It happens because of dust and water resistant coating. Since it only affects the aesthetic sense of the mobile, and not causing any other problem to overall performance/functionality of the mobile, the Samsung will not cover, repair this damage under warranty. 2. Upgrading S23 to match the functionality of S24 ruined the Screen's display. S23 Ultra screen gets green line in the display within 5 days of update. You would have to constantly tilt ur phone to see if there are any possibilities of getting a line like this. Almost all Amoled displays get this problem. OnePlus gets yellow shade and but the Samsung gets 'a vertical Green line'. U can immediately switch off ur one plus and let it rest for 1 hour to return the screen to normal mode, but for samsung it's a permanent problem. There's no repair, only replacement. If u still wanna buy an S23 Ultra, when the line happens, record all the conversation with the customer care and take screenshots of all of ur conversation. Because samsung will definitely refuse to repair/replace the screen if it's under the warrenty. You literally have to fight to claim whats urs. OnePlus repairs the screen for free of cost even if it had crossed its warranty period.

I'll preface this by saying that I really like this channel and appreciate Tom's candour and integrity. However in my opinion; this tablet upgrade is a joke. No wonder Samsung seemingly slipped it in under the radar. They've done practically nothing. A screen coating and a Mediatek SoC... which performs little better than the SD Gen 3, and some tweaks. No wonder they increased the vapour chamber, the bloody thing would probably throttle otherwise. That'll be £1100 please. Apple; notorious for reputedly offering negligible upgrades, have at least provided a double-stacked OLED, big performance boosts and a better pencil for their product. Idk what Samsung are playing at, but they can't keep getting away with this. Expecting people to fork out cash for next to no improvements is a slap in the face.

[@kevinkev1530]

Facts

[@sloppynyuszi]

I think when companies make these minimal upgrades, it’s just to get people off older devices, not for people to upgrade from last gen. Like I don’t think Apple care too much about me with an iPhone 15 pro when they released the 16. I think this is for people with Tab S7s or older whose devices are off warranty and are starting to break down. Or people who don’t have a tablet or switching from Apple. I honestly dont see why it’s an issue if my device is awesome as is and the new one doesn’t bring much to the table 🤷‍♂️ people complain the iPad mini needs a refresh. It’s perfectly fine. I won’t be upgrading when the 7 comes out.

[@andyH_England]

Whilst Apple releases the iPad Pro with the M4 well before it comes in the Macs, Samsung releases a year-old chip that will be superseded by the SD8G4 in a few weeks! I know why they did it, as the Dimensity chips are nearly as cheap as Exynos as they near the end of their cycle. Sadly, Exynos would not be up to the job, and Samsung would not want to upset its bigger markets, such as the US. They can use the E2400 in their mid-range devices like the S24FE. I question the usefulness of an anti-glare display since I always use a tempered glass screen protector, which negates the feature. Additionally, indoors, I would favour the Tandem OLED for its double brightness and Dolby HDR. However, it seems Samsung is cutting costs by omitting these two excellent features. Otherwise, for Samsung fans, a small update, and Tab S8 Ultra users probably do not need to upgrade, so they need to hope they can scrounge some buyers from elsewhere. And at this price, that may be a tough assignment.

Another thing that is bad for Tab S10 lineup is the lack of the much smaller, more affordable based Tab S10. Which to me is a stupid move. But maybe Samsung is secretly planning to release the base Tab S10 as the Tab S10 FE at some point early next year. Who knows?

[@andyH_England]

@@Isaac-gh5ku yes it is a strange one and I only assume that it either doesn’t sell well or they are changing their lineup strategy to effectively copy the iPad Air by having a model with a older chip at a lower price. So similar to your theory.

[@tomdgardner]

I'm a Heavy Tab S9 Ultra user (I use it for both work and leisure). This is a mild refresh from the S9 Ultra; it's hard to justify upgrading even from an S8 tablet. For art, you would typically use a screen protector/ paper-like cover, which (for most creatives) would negate the need for this new screen. Whilst I can imagine for heavy content users (movies, KZbin, etc), this would be a nice little improvement, I do not see any worthwhile selling point, especially considering the AI features will also be applied to the Tab S9 Ultra. Maybe one of the next couple of iterations will show significant changes?

I have Tab S9 Ultra and Tab S8 Ultra. Both were trade ins on earlier tablets. For $400 if I trade in my Tab S8 it's worth it since I use it daily for work and play. Just had a 2 hour Zoom with my financial advisor using the nice big screen to see all this stock charts. Great speakers and microphone. No brainer. I also have Fold 6 (traded in Fold 3) and Buds 3 Pros (traded in Pro 2). Still have my Galaxy Watch 4 classic though 😅

[@vbasu5]

One can find a ton of hardware related videos of Samsung Tablets on KZbin. But just no videos on the Apps on Android Tablets. Apps I mean not native apps, but third-party apps like Facebook, Instagram, Outlook, Google Apps, everyday News/ Weather Apps, etc. This question comes from the various articles which seem to indicate that Apps on Samsung Tablets/ Android Tabs are nothing but stretched versions of Mobile Apps.

[@porscheoscar]

@@vbasu5 apps is still a thing? 99% of my screen time is spent on the same 10 apps that were optimized for Android like 9 years ago. Not a gamer but the few racing sim type games I've enjoyed worked fine. For the spec sheet and screen real estate you're not going to get better for the money than a Samsung Galaxy Ultra. Especially on trade in. I have preordered every Ultra tablet so far and received trade in credits That Apple would never in a million years offer. In fact Samsung offered me more to trade in my old iPad Pro than Apple offered by double. And for the second time in a row I'm having the same issue with the iPad Pro screen while still in warranty. These random white spots whenever the screen een is showing a dark color.

Coming from the S9 Ultra. I love this thing. I use it everyday. Hell I'm on it right now. 🤩 If you don't have one of these things. GET ONE. It is so amazing that I won't be getting the S10 Ultra. No need. It was already flawless. They upgraded the cooling and the battery but it was already sooo good. So stop fooling yourself and buy one. I recommend the Ultra because, no lie, sometimes I wish it was even bigger. Multitasking and using Dex will show you that. I don't even turn on my OLED TV to watch movies anymore I just prop this thing up with some Sony ULT headphones and I enjoy a personal "big screen" experience.

[@kiisseli1337]

Reminder that iPad Pro 13" has more pixels, despite the screen being almost 20% smaller. Screen is also higher quality. And other review said S10U screen looks worse (inside) than S9U because of that anti-reflection coating. Ultra has better aspect ratio and size for videos, but I think the (lighter) iPad Pro is better overall (in handheld use especially), it's also better for most photos, and HDR videos look better. So I think it's better overall. Still if S10U can be had for much less, the value is there. But there are many (chinese) similar Android tablets with big screens for less. Those also have higher PPI. So Apple is the easier choice.

Nice overview. However, the question you asked at the end of the video: "Would you (...) go for one of these over the iPad" is a bit odd in my opinion. I think it's basically down to what ecosystem you're already in. I mean, if you have an iPhone I don't think many people would think twice before buying an iPad, and likewise, if I use an android phone, and ESPECIALLY a Samsung, for me it's rather a no brainer to choose between the two. I know both ecosystems have their pros and cons, but I don't see it very practical to have an android smartphone an an apple iPad unless you really want to use both ecosystems.

Why does every new tech product always get compared to Apple? A Samsung phone becomes the 'Android iPhone.' A laptop is called the 'MacBook killer.' Tablets are labeled as 'iPad killers.' Why does every product need to be framed around Apple? But when Apple releases something, no one says 'Galaxy killer' or anything like that. Seriously, why??

[@kataliz72]

it's obvious Majid Jan! Apple is recognized by people all over the world as a company that produces the most premium and highest quality products. Therefore, Apple products are always the benchmark for comparison, and everyone is trying to see how much the products of other companies can be like Apple

[@wisdomyaw03]

To my understanding, it's an indication that these reviewers perceive Apple to be at the top of all of them.

Doubt that it will be “far more better”. Also mtk 9400 is also coming, that is the 8G4 competitor. I thought we all know why Samsung is using last year chip instead of waiting for latest and greatest, it’s to reduce the cost of the tablet.

[@rvermausa]

Great video sir. Can you use the tablet screen is your second screen with S24 Ultra via Dex?

The Tab S9 with Snapdragon will brutally crush this for heavy emulation like PC games. Useless Mediatek tablet when Samsung fanboys were expecting Snapdragon X-Elite roflmao.

It looks great, and the big screen would get my money . The only thing it’s branded Samsung, I’ve gone a bit off Samsung in recent years. Still , I’ll look forward to the full review , it will be interesting to see if there are any downsides to not using the snapdragon.

[@Joeeye123]

So you think Samsung should offer you the full payment for your used device?

[@valentinrizvan1870]

@Joeeye123 not really, but when they sell you something for £1200-£1300 and next year they offer you £300 for it, shows how they value said product. That means if you hold on and not buy it now, In a few months it will be down to £600 with a trade in.

[@Joeeye123]

@valentinrizvan1870 highly doubtful, unless you're talking about a used product. I've followed all tech prices on these tablets and they've never done that yet, so good luck with that.

Do not even consider this, go for the S9 ultra. Dimensity chips aren't even close to snapdragon for long term gaming or multimedia. They last long for battery because the chip throttles its performance.
