    Overpriced and oversized. Not sure how this review can recommend this tablet.

    And it didn’t even compare with the M series iPads. The benchmarks compare it with a 2 year old iPad instead. Makes no sense.

      You should compare its chipset performance with ipad pros m1 or m2. Definitely it is not the best hardware available to mass market.

        "[For] Screen Mirroring, you should be fine with a Samsung or LG HDTVs, and less so with AndroidTV"
        You can Cast via Chromecast to Android TV now, just enable the option in the Labs section:
        https://www.sammobile.com/news/enable-google-cast-screen-mirroring-galaxy-phones-tablets/
        In OneUI 6, the option will be visible by default.

          you know, all that space along the sides can easily house atleast one- headphone jack, USB A, HDMI or a second type c port

            I think the most important aspect is the processor. I was curious to compare it with my iPad Air 5 Cellular. Better screen the Samsung but the M1 scores at Geekbench 5.2 1807 vs 1652 in single core performance of the 8gen2 and 7691 against 5210 of the 8gen2 in multi core performance. By all means someone that will buy S9 will not be disappointed! But I wanted to make comparison with my old iPad.

                Red flags for usability: no wireless charging, no pogo dock

                        Straight up a better iPad Pro. The little notch is annoying, but here it's done pretty tastefully and won't really interfere anything nor cut badly into your screen

                          rosesarerosie, 12 Sep 2023Now THIS can be an actual laptop replacementI already got my laptop replacement in the shape of Microsoft Surface Pro 8 after I sold off my Apple iPad Pro M1. Call me back when Apple finally put macOS on iPad Pro. 🙃

                            Very overpriced considering the typical screen issue with samsung's phone after certain years. My s20+ got green line issue and my tab s4 screen keep flickering here and then.

                              As much as I don't like Android tabs, this should be a joy to draw on with that pen.

                                when you copy paste even things that you dont need like the notch...its embarrassing
                                iPhone and the macs had that notch for the camera and faceID
                                here on a tablet that big....they didnt had to like they didnt had on the S8 ultra
                                This is embarrassing Samsung

                                  16:10 is way better for video consumption (YouTube, Netflix...), better than 16:9 for 2 separate windows. In portrait mode, IMO the 16:10 is perfect for browsing the web

But bring the 4:3 and 3:2 tablet back in Landscap mode, and you can feel the keyboard cramped and not as wide as 16:10 and 16:9. So it all depends on what you're going to use the tablet as in the first place.

                                      The moment a tablet screen has laptop aspect ratio then that tablet is pretty much useless. 4:3 is ideal aspect ratio and non of android tablets have that aspect ratio. Or atleast 3:2 aspect ratio like surface.

                                      And that notch oh my god . if one wants to copy apple copy good features not some thing which is panned by everyone

                                      any day buying ipad pro during sale for 599$(11 inch) and 799$(13.9 inch) makes more sense than this one

                                        The Guy/Team Who Thought And Implemented the brilliant idea of putting a Notch on a tablet should be fired immediately. No severance, no nothing. Just immediately. As of right now.
