So no much difference between D9400 and 9500 same to 8 elite and 8 elite gen 5.

        They should align better their release cycle with SoC release cycle.
        I know 9400+ was technically released this year, but it is pretty much the same 9400 from last year.

        Honor MagicPad 3 Pro 13.3 is coming next week with the SD 8 Elite Gen 5. Why couldn't Samsung do the same and offer their customers the best hardware?

          Superpower2030, 12 Oct 2025What productivity task did you see the 8 elite surpassing t... moreefficiency of the 8 elite is better, geekerwan has tests on it. The CPU efficiency is so good that the dimensity 9500 is closer to the 8 Elite than the 8 Elite gen 5. And like, why would Vivo, Oppo and Xiaomi use the 8 Elite on their top tier Ultra phones but the Dimensity on their lower end phones?

          The 8 Elite is just better. I'm not saying the Dimensity is horrendous and doesnt matter, but devices with this chip should be cheaper. Vivo and Oppo know it, that's why the Pro models have it and the Ultras dont. Samsung is greedy and wants to give us Pro level hardware yet charge us Ultra level money.

          At this point a Lenovo 2 in 1 Lunar Lake laptop is actually cheaper if you account for storage upgrade costs, better to get that than this monstrosity.

            I only need a modded Youtube, modded Duolingo, modded Videoleap
            On the other hand, you will never be able to find modded versions of Microsoft Word etc

                Hemedans, 12 Oct 2025Yes and it has so many features while remain same weight, ... moreWhat cover on the surface? I dont see any coming with a cover. Many lightweight kickstands available.

                        I bought the Oneplus Pad 3 for 589 EUR. For what reasons should one spend 2x/3x more for the Samsung?

                          Hemedans, 12 Oct 2025Yes and it has so many features while remain same weight, ... moreIf the weight is about the same, the device with a significantly bigger screen is better. You don't need to use a kickstand cover. Even if you want to use it, it's better if it's optional. Anyway, I want a light, high-end tablet with a 12"+ OLED screen. There aren't many options. The M4 iPad Pro 13 is the best option overall, but the OS is restrictive.

                            Anonymous, 11 Oct 2025The screen of the 12" model is much smaller than that ... moreYes and it has so many features while remain same weight, if you put kickstand and cover (which are built in in surface) your tab will be much heavier than surface. Previous official kickstand cover from Samsung weigh more than 300G which will put it over 1kg.

                              Superpower2030, 11 Oct 2025But they are on par though. It even gets more in antutu.antutu sucks and they're not on par. The snapdragon is far better in cpu and the dimensity is better in gpu. For productivity, cpu is far more important so snapdragon is better

As for the S11 Ultra, the notch ruins it. I hope that Samsung will release an S12+ or an S12 Ultra without a notch next year.
