Perfect Review 👍🏻Watching this on same device on DEX mode but Mystic Black🤓

[@emdotrod]

It's hilarious that the Wifi only version has a more powerful CPU than the 5G version. The 778G is a pretty powerful SoC and it sits slightly below Snapdragon 855 when it comes to gaming performance. I'm sure in no time this SoC will go into the low-end smartphones.

[@typhoon_8086]

Interesting, I wonder why Samsung chose the SD 778G Chip instead of the SD 870 like in the Xiaomi Mi Pad 5?

[@dexterlloydsularte9894]

Do you think the 4gb 778g version is enough for light multitasking?

[@MrVirtuz]

@@typhoon_8086 the Xiaomi pad 5 has the SD860, which is the same as the SD855+, they just changed its name, I think Samsung used the 778G because it is newer and has a better architecture (6nm vs 7nm of the 855+)

[@mefjupl8679]

Yep it's snap 855 with half tdp which Is pretty impressive. If someone is 50/50 gaming to media consumption this tablet is gonna be a treat. But remember to buy it below 450 bucks fo sho.

[@emiliano7252]

Samsung has a trade in deal going right now that gets you the 128GB + 6GB for $120. I've gotta say at that price it's a steal if you have an old device lying around to trade in. Also comes with free Galaxy Buds 2. There's no tablet with better value at that price. The only upsetting part about this tablet is the lack of fingerprint sensor and headphone jack. Although headphone jack is easy to work around with an adapter. Great video as always!
