Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

For the past 6 years, I've exclusively owned iPads. My last Android tablet was the Galaxy Tab 10.1 way back in 2011. Boy was that terrible. I recently switched to a Samsung phone, so I decided to try out their tablets. WOW have they come a long way. The screen is fantastic. It's not 120Hz like the new iPad Pro, but you probably won't care. The colors are amazing and the black levels are truly black. It also gets extremely bright and is easily usable outside. Battery life is equally good. Using it for a few hours every day, I really only need to charge every 4 or 5 days. It barely loses any charge when locked and not in use. It also supports USB C fast charging for when you need to top up quickly. The S Pen again, is fantastic. Latency is quite low and the pressure curves are on point. The pen itself is a great size and feels pretty much exactly like a real pen. My only complaint is there's nowhere to store it (if you don't buy the keyboard). I wish they would make it magnetic like the Surface line. Performance is excellent, with zero lag even after installing over 100 apps. If I had one major complaint about this tablet, it would be the lack of a fingerprint scanner. "Intelligent Scan" is good, but you have to hold the tablet parallel to your face, and that's a little more awkward than just using a fingerprint scanner. But since the bezels are so thin and the tablet looks so good, I can forgive this. Especially combined with Smart Lock (only locks the tablet when it's needed, not all the time), it's not as big of a deal. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this tablet. Yes, $650 isn't cheap, but compared with an iPad Pro 10.5, which is also $649, this one at least includes the stylus, saving you $100.
