    I have this tablet around 2 years and it's a really great multimedia tablet, granted not the fastest but for some games, Netflix and web browsing it's still perfectly fine. The screen is just fantastic and the sound from the speakers is really good.

    With the S5e I can mirror the screen wirelessly to my LG smart TV, that's pretty cool and I can use a keyboard and mouse, with Ipad I can't use a real mouse, Apple want you to have more than 1 device to make them richer lol.

    Another thing is that I can download torrents, can't on IOS.

    Another + for the Android tablet is that the built in child protection is vastly superior to anything Apple ever had, shame on Apple. With the s5e and probably most Android tablets today the built in protection is pretty decent but I use kidsplace app which is much better.

    The other Plus with android is that I can have a profile for myself, one for my Partner and one for Kids. Apple want you to have a device for everyone.

      The only issue is that it will receive updates for I think only 1 more year from now and I have android 11, it won't get android 12+.

            Tony, 23 Dec 2020I believe this tablet has an S pen.No, I own it and I confirm it doesn't. If you are looking for S Pen compatibility then you need to check Galaxy Tabs S4, S6, S6 lite, S7, S7+.

                binay, 29 Jul 2020s5e don't have sim voice calling.No usb etc what are you talking about, The LTE version with sim cards has Sim-calling and full fledge voice calling and sms and with the insane good quad-speakers, it sounds great.

                  If this tablet had a 1080p display and sd 765G processor along with included spen under $300, I'd buy this tablet. But alas, Samsung only knows how to troll their customers like Apple.

                      I didn't know why the review on GSM Arena and many reviewer are take negatif for this tab s5e.... its a great tablet i have seen... ok, tab s6 and ipad pro is better... but the price so expensive...not valuable to use... ipad and s6 just waste the money... with no far use experience with this tab s5e

                        Nice tablet! Runs smooth and a great value.Plus the screen! Chill out Grinch!

                          Oh my goodness, that reviewer hates it so much. Everyone on youtube pretty much just praises it. This guy probably had a bad day :))

                                Ok, maybe it could have a better processor and memory, but i bought this for watching TV, WRC, Formula, NBA and other stuff like that and i must say it's perfect for that. Beautiful screen and good battery i think.

                                    What really puts me off with the Tab S5e is the lack of S Pen. Seriously, I much prefer DeX UI over One UI like in Tab S4 or any other Pie running Samsung, but Samsung's decision on not putting S Pen is a no-no.

                                      I've had the tabled for just over 6 weeks. and I think its a great tablet, for the price, and what I use it for. general web surfing, videos and emails. display is responsive, display is clear and its very light. wifi is great [as long as your wifi router is good].

                                      For all those complaining on performance, this isn't the tab for you. you'll need to get the s6. more power and speed. and obviously near double the cost.

                                      for what it is, and basic use. I would highly recommend it.

                                        Jun1250, 14 Aug 2019A more detailed review: https://mynexttablet.com/samsung-ga... moreThe Surface Go is underpowered (dual core 14nm Pentium?! gross. In benchmarks it is weaker than the SD670), heavier, has a lower resolution display, Windows 10 Lite (S) and the 128GB version is pricier than the S5e's 128 (although with 2 more gigs of RAM). But if you are dependent on a specific Windows app and are willing to pay extra to have a full OS, then the Surface Go could have a certain advantage.
