Yes it is premium but between two premium items (and even not so premium ones), the social experiments reveal MOST (not all) PEOPLE buy things based on PERCEIVED value. A HIGH PRICE tag product which are endorsed by Hollywood celebrities and which all their RICH neighbors and rich FRIENDS own, will be perceived as higher value even if the other product is exactly identical (just disguised in color and form) and displayed with a much higher price tag.

Apple is a master of that art (the art of prestige marketing). It's not the best phone, in terms of REAL WORLD USE and FUNCTION for the HUGE MAJORITY. But people will still buy it because they want to 'stand out' and 'belong'. They want to be identified with the celebrities, rich endorsers, and their rich neighbors. Not all of them, get caught on the 'PLACEBO' effect, mind you, but majority. That's human psychology at work, and yes iPhone/iPad owners can deny it but it won't change the fact it's the way the human mind works.

    Peter UK, 26 Apr 2020You guys below have nothing else to do? If someone believes... moreSad to say but it's a fact in India, China and the rest of the world outside the US. You can deny it over and over but that doesn't change the fact majority still buy the brand to 'stand out' and make it a 'status symbol' in the same way people buy Ferraris not because its absolutely the best, most comfortable and fastest way to get around busy city roads but to make a statement about ones financial capacity and 'social standing'. You may ignore it has nothing to do with being 'rich' but subconsciously most people will still interpret it as such in their minds. There are plenty of social experiments to confirm my claim and while A FEW do judge a thing based on real value, majority still judge it's value based on PRICE TAG.

      You guys below have nothing else to do? If someone believes that when most people use Apple and you have to use apple too otherwise you'll stand out... I pity you and your daily life. How about coming out of the society closet and do, use whatever you want to? Whoever buys apple or samsung product just because others use it, is in my opinion just sad. Get what you love and what makes you happy, don't care about others because by the end of the day they don't give a single F... about you and your devices. LOL

At least I'm being true to myself. I'm sure, many other iPad/iPhone users also have the same motivation. However, many become defensive and deny it, (or they're simply not just aware of it).

        It's an inherent human need to 'belong' to, to be identified with the 'elite', affluent and the rich. These users keep on denying that it's not about the 'cool' APPLE brand name and logo but rather the product quality and experience. Well I can only smile. Apple marketing knows better.

        People don't buy expensive Ferraris over regular Japanese SUVs because the Ferrari really gives them a more spacious,
        comfortable driving experience. They don't buy Ferraris because it makes them arrive at their destination faster and earlier in regular busy city traffic. IT'S CERTAINLY NOT ANY OF THOSE REASONS. They actually buy a Ferrari because it makes them arrive at their destination with elegance, finesse and style while subconsciously making a statement to others that they have more money than the rest and BELONG to the upper echelons of society.

Nobody wears business attire in a white tie event. Using an android phone in a largely iPhone loving demographic just puts so much attention to the android user. It's good if you want attention and possibly discrimination but otherwise bad, ifvyou just want to blend in.

                  "The suffocating, jurassic walled garden iOS/iPadOS experience is a lot WORSE experience for me than having no android updates in an android tablet." is my personal statement against Apple and its devices and software in the same way that

                  "Never again an Android tablet. It's just not worth it" is your personal statement against Android tablets as a whole.

                  Sounds like a perfectly fair and reasonable rebuttal to your statement above.

If it wasn't successful, I would have done the connection sequence the other way around or flip the USB-C connector (even if it's reversible) or try another wired earbuds/headphones or try another adapter. If everything fails, I'll just use my bluetooth receiver to send music/audio signals to my wired headphones.

It's a year old now and I can't use my Buds with iPads. It's called living with compromise. You don't have to agree with my opinion, but when you ridicule other peoples opinions and concerns, you are being rude.

                          It shows you are a hater and can't comment rationally. Before writing iOS for example you use like 3 negative adjectives. That is a form of ridiculing other peoples opinions.

But really, if you're not happy with the S5e, just go back to your iPad which, you seem to like a lot more. I'm not against complaints against slow Android software updates and I've always wanted worldwide regulation to penalize Android manufacturers that fail to provide guaranteed security updates for up to 5 years (not necessarily android version updates) to ALL Android devices. However, I've learned to accept the fact that it is the logical consequence of android diversity - the price so to speak, that I have to pay for the freedom and diversity of choices Android offers me. Have owned many Android brands in the past - Huawei, Lenovo, Xiaomi, Asus, LG, Samsung, etc. so I'm not loyal to any manufacturer.

                                "Those dual adapter don't work without a hassle either, I got one fron UGREEN. You have to plug in headphones and charging cable (turned on) first and then connect to the tablet. You also get 1.5A max charging only."

                                I never said you'll get fast charging. It's regular charging only but at least, you can use wired headphones and charge at the same time. If you want fast charging and use your wired headphones at the same time, it's quite simple really. Just buy a cheap Bluetooth receiver for your headphones, one that has a huge 1000mAh battery for 10hrs non-stop music /movie listening. When the tablet is full, you can just remove the bluetooth adapter from your headphone jack and use your wired headphone with the provided USB-C to 3.5mm adapter.

I donate more in a month than you probably ever will. I also already explained to you that I actually like to make use of the fast storage and SoC, and yes the storage is 10 times faster. I'm not going to waste another 420 bucks anytime soon.

                                  If everyone is like "I don't care about updates", than it will never change. This mindset is exactly why that company you hate is so popular, you are basically a big part of it. Just think about your attitude.

Your present the internal storage speed as something that makes the Samsung S5e a horribly sluggish, unbearable experience just because its internal storage isn't fast enough. You're like saying people who ride ordinary cars in regular city traffic are experiencing 10x slower speed than one driving a Ferrari! It's the overall package that matters to most people and with that, yes, I'll TAKE slow software updates of the S5e vs. being locked up and imprisoned in an outdated, clunky, restrictive, jurassic walled garden that is called the iOS/IPadOS system. If you're not happy, just donate your S5e and go back to your iPad.

                                        Why are you trying to justify shortcomings by saying that iOS is limited? If you compare the media consumption experience of both (since you can't do much more with the Tab S5e anyway), the S5e seems better but again, you ignore the bad quality AMOLED panel and the lack of a headphone jack. I rather have a good IPS display than a terrible AMOLED.

                                        And of course, software. The lack of support is sickening.
