Hello everybody and welcome back to another video from H.S.TV! In today’s video I’ll be telling you what i think is the BEST note taking tablet in 2024.
If you've been following the channel you'll know I bought Samsung's tab S7+ way back in 2020 when I started medical school, however does it stand a chance in 2024 or am I looking for an upgrade?
If you are new to the channel and don't know who I am (firstly go and subscribe), my name is Heen Shamaz and I'm a medical student at the University of Edinburgh. My videos aim to help aspiring med students and current med students with all things medicine, Edinburgh, tech and note taking!
I hope you find this useful and if you do please share my channel around!
Thanks so much for watching and stay tuned until next time:)

Phenomenal review, as a 3rd year law student, I've always been a macbook note taker, but this video might've changed my mind! Also bought the Samsung tab s7+ 5G today! :)

DEX is the bomb while in a dorm room. If The tablet is the only thing you can afford, I recommend the Samsung Tablet.

New subscriber here. Good thing YT recommended your channel to me after countless search since I've been finding a channel like a student like you with med related course that will help me solidify to purchase the Samsung S9 plus tablet to aid for my nsg journey. Hoping to learn from your channel soon especially once I have my own galaxy tablet. 🙌🏼

Your 3 year+ review is so great. I have been using my Tab S8 for more than a year and I'm definitely satisfied with it. If anyone who wants to find the one for note taking and ebook reading, I highly recommend a Samsung tab S (not tab A).

7:04 it helps with multitasking , not just gaming. Besides ram has become cheaper & it's common to manufacture chiplets in minimum 16gig modules & that's why you get such a high ram amount & not because Samsung is generous or any other reason.

Yes indeed, I use the tablet for multitasking quite a bit:)

Excellent video. I use my Samsung Tab S7+ everyday. My only complaint has been when using Google Docs/Sheets. On a tablet, you will lose the main menu for Google Docs with no way to make it appear. This is because the app defaults to 'full screen' mode (even when using Dex). You can still use the app(s) from Google, but you lose some functionality as compared to running the apps on a more traditional desktop/notebook. This problem also occurs on the Ipad Air and, of course, any mobile cellular device. It isn't an Android problem or even a Samsung issue. It's a limitation in the Google app suite. Cheers!

@HSTVoffcial 6 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching! I totally agree with you, there has to be better app optimisation especially if Samsung offers a desktop like experience with Dex. Hopefully in the future we can expect a hybrid version of the apps suited to the tab!

I think I'm gonna buy it used in 2024, I don't really need the "latest" features and I'm getting it for 300 in a good condition. Gonna use it for note taking and studying.

Fair enough, sounds a like a good plan! Good luck:)

@ashleygray1632 5 ай бұрын

Thanks for this video. I can pick one up for £280 and it's far more powerful than the s9Fe which isn't as powerful or has a good screen!

@HSTVoffcial 5 ай бұрын

Thank you for watching! £280 is indeed a great price for such a powerful tablet. Enjoy!

What screen size tablet would you recommend for students in middle/high school (grades 7 to 12) - particularly for note taking? Also are there any Android apps that you think might be better than Samsung Notes for them for note taking for their studies? I use my S7+ for online teaching and it's excellent. It's the perfect size for me and I love the S-pen. I like Samsung Notes, but I'm interested to know if there are better options.

@HSTVoffcial 6 ай бұрын

Thanks for sharing your experience! Honestly I like a tab with similar dimensions to an A4 page, makes the note taking experience more realistic. The tab s7+ is 12.4" which is close to an A4 size and not too large to not be portable. I feel the S9 ultra and ipad Pro can be quite large to carry around. End of the day comes down to personal preference!

Good lock is also works very well in s7+. Try it. It has more customisation. #MYSTIC #BRONZE #S7+ 😍 I only missing updates in it. What you think?

@HSTVoffcial Ай бұрын

Yes, to be honest with you I've never had a device for more than a few years especially something for studying like this tab. I'm not sure how the lack of updates will affect the performance. I shall keep you updated and make future videos on this:)

@jay12702 Ай бұрын

Even without updates, my tab is running fine. But these new ai features and Apple's latest math calculation feature will also come in Samsung. So the mind gets tempted. 😂😂 Samsung has officially banned quarterly updates now. My tab has the last update of jan 2024.😢

@ic3ric Ай бұрын

im really indecisive between the tab s8 and s9fe, im just going to use it for studying and note taking, but their price difference is the actual blast in my opinion; about 630 dollars (converting from my country's currency) for the tab s8, on the other side, the s9fe for around 400 bucks... could you help me with a suggestion?

@HSTVoffcial Ай бұрын

Hi, thanks for your comment! Both the S8 and S9FE are good tablets and sufficient for note taking. I'm personally a bit against the FE models so would recommend you invest in the full spec models if possible. The tab S8 is a good tablet, and I'd recommend you look into it.

Do you still recommend and use your tab S7+? I’m leaning towards getting the 256 navy blue color on Amazon but it’s $900 brand new 😅 Should I get it new or used?

@HSTVoffcial 5 ай бұрын

I would absolutely still recommend the tab s7+. Get it new if you can or if you think it's not worth it just buy the tab s8!

Unfortunately Samsung notes is no longer available on windows. I still use Samsung notes on my tab and phone but have switched to Notion for a lot of my note taking.

You can run Samsung Notes from Windows 11. Search for "iknothing galaxybook_mask_but_better" and it should appear first. I use the file samsungnotes-betterv2.

As you have decent experience about it, I was thinking to buy s9 fe tab, should I go for it? or rather buy some old models like yours to save money?

@HSTVoffcial 6 ай бұрын

Good question, unfortunately I can only answer based on my experience with the S7+. For me personally I wouldn't buy the S9 FE because it's not much of an upgrade to what I've got now. If you're buying a tab for the first time, the S9 FE is a nice option and you'll get a good few years of UI updates. The S7+ was game changer series, a big upgrade from the S6 series so I've always been a big advocate for it. Honestly up to you what you go for, it's nice to have the newer models but overall in usage you wouldn't notice much differnece at all between the s7 and s9. Hope this helps, good luck:)
