      About RAM, is it possible to know how many memory slots are available? Also, is it possible to extend the 16GB of memory?

And I was wondering about how an expensive paperweight (due to it's limitations) is usable enough for productivity

I was so willing to buy (ignoring the price) an iPad Pro with a keyboard and a pencil to use it as a 2in1. No other HW comes close to it, but alas, the iPadOS, which, even with the latest update, is so limiting for productivities. The Surface Pro, on the other hand, despite its limitations and bad support in India, has evolved.

Fanboys tend to defend their overpriced, faulty products with crippling limitations. I simply avoided buying Samsung. Using a Nokia 8 as for long as I can because it's a total bargain for what it is, simply practical and useful.

                mukhi, 08 Aug 2022I decided not to buy Samsung this time not because they see... moreThe reason why I said that Samsung is unreliable is because they don't use good quality components as they used to. For example, my Galaxy J3 (even with the dated lollipop software and poor specs) is comparatively more reliable than a Samsung A series phone that gets released now. And no matter how many updates they push, they never admit to slowing their phones down but instead they are crippling them just before their 1 year mark, to increase the replacement costs drastically. The reality of Samsung started to get exposed since the Galaxy Note 7 failure.

I use SDR as well becsue it gets up to 500 nits so plenty.. But I would want to make sure and measure it with that device what youtubers measure sreens nits they
                            The manufacturers always overreact.. but you woul dhave to have that portrait C6 device to measure the nits.. very expensive.
                            NO it is not any short term.. just enable HDR and you will get slightly above 1000 nits reported by windows.. when u turn HDR off it will be standard SDR so up to 500 nits.
