        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.

Reports say even Apple does the same for older phones (not just after one year, of course). I'll watch Samsung to see what they'll be doing for their future phones. No Sammy until then.

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.

                              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.
