The competitors of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S series are the iPad Air and iPad Pro. Cheap Android tablets don't compete with the cheap iPad. They are for people who want cheap tablets that can do basic tasks. Nothing will change.

I still have a couple of Android tablets I bought to try, and they are all useless. Support and updates are gone, and functionality is poor. But an even older iPad is still my go-to device for light tasks in bed, including playing Civilization on my TV through AirPlay. There is a reason why Apple owns the tablet space.

There was a big boom around chea... moreSome acted as if Samsung and others made some ground in the last year or two, where the iPad Pro was criticized so much about how it lacks „proper multitasking“ while Samsung has DeX™️. But I‘m not sure if this is backed by actual sales numbers, especially since 98% of Tablet users don’t care about „proper multitasking“ or „pro apps“ like Final Cut or Logic. They just use it for movies, games and note taking, and the budget iPad can do those with ease.

There was a big boom around cheap Android tablets years ago, everyone wanted to have one, everyone was buying them by the truck load almost and then this trend just died off. These days I hardly know anyone who even has one. iPads on the other hand seem to steam on with full force as Apple continues to work on this segment with pretty big commitment where the rest of vendors just kinda stopped caring. I know ASUS had tons of tablets, now I'm not even sure if they offer any. Samsung made a big deal out of their massive high end notched tablet few months ago, but that was about it.

If that was true, and it sold at the same price, Android Tablets would just die on the spot.

For most devices which use... moreI personally don't mind Lightning connector since on the charger side nothing really changed for me (and it's only now changing since chargers are coming with USB-C outputs instead of USB-A). But I guess it'll be fine if Apple stuff adopts USB-C too. I have to admit it's weird how they put USB-C on some devices and not all. That was really the weirdest decision.

XD He's the sort of person who's obsessing over big numbers on paper and have no idea what any of it means in real world use or if they even matter. He just sees how iPhone only has 6 cores where Android phones have 8. And he sees only 6GB RAM where Android phones have 12GB and declares iPhone as "low spec" because of it. lol

They should at least change the dated design to the new style so it matches the rest of the iPad's and give it Touch ID. That is the worse thing about it.

So does the changed resolution to match the iPad Air mean that a redesign to match the new iPads is possible?

4GB ram - same as above
64/128/256GB and not 64/256GB
8800mAh - quite possible but I wouldn't bet on it
Front touch ID - probably yes
Same colours of Air 4 - doubt
The problem is to not make the basic iPad categorically close to the Air which costs much more. If we do get usb-c the main difference would be "only" display, newer stylus support, M1 (kinda useless for today's age), colors and other nonsignificant specifications
