Anonymous, 23 Feb 2023The overall build quality will remain quite low tho, like s... moreMy Tab3 10.1 only had a Crack after it fell down the stairs very badly (and it was like 2 cm long), my TabS2 8.0 was severely abused, fell off the stairs so many times and only cracked when my sibling smashed it very hard on the table (3.5 years old by then) and I also dropped my TabS5e so many times already. Only has a couple of scratches, but barely any, and it is over 3 years old. I use a book case that is also protecting the screen from directly hitting the ground. I can also sit on my tablets just fine when I left them jn my bed accidentally. I bought a Samsung tablet because I love their build quality.

      hope they will retain the sd card slot

                    the difference is so drastic, its pathetic
                    upgrade to the S8 or the S7 they're pretty much still valid options with solid ground standing
                    MIUI is inconvenient and ''half smart" compared to oneUI

                      Me sitting with my S5e and patiently waiting for a good successor.
                      Looks like S9 is going to me even more expensive than S8. Huh, Xiaomi Pad 6 then...

                          This means TabS9 is going to be crazy expensive.

                            It's kinda pointless to bring a tablet underwater, but it's great to have it on extreme cold or monsoon season.

                              That's actually wonderful news.

                              I still vividly remember the Xperia Z4 Tablet and reviews drenching the tablet with water. And that was the last I've ever seen water resistance on a normal tablet, 8 years ago.

                                Just use oled displays on all your tab S series tablets, Samsung!

                                What's with reverting to LCD to some of your Tab S models (first with Tab S7 and sadly continues in Tab S8)?

                                The Tab S series is supposed to be your premium tablet line. Tablets are primarily used for media consumption, there is nothing premium about Grey blacks on a media consumption device. Just stop making no sense Samsung, and reintroduce amoled displays to *all* you premium tablets, or at least stop calling an LCD tablet as belonging to the Tab S series, that's false advertising!

                                  Nothing new its same expensive piece of nothing interesting as usualy.
                                  And IPXX rating is pure garbage.
                                  If they want to act as pro they should make water rpoof and not water resistant device.
                                  Water proof will kake much more sense than costly gimmick called water resistance.

                                        kek, 23 Feb 2023Hmmm so that means current models can get their battery rep... moreNo they have the same glue. My S5e had it, the screen was lifting on its own though so it was easier to open.
