Nice. I always search for a review of something and open about 10 tabs and watch all of them. But, you covered everything in this video and saved me a bunch of time! Thank you!

@justrandomme6084 5 ай бұрын

I've just stumbled on your review and I'm very impressed that you prepared for it and was using the tablet for a month already before giving the review. It's refreshing to see this type of reviews rather than the usual unboxing reviews. 👌

Thank you for your informative video. After watching your video I bought the tablet on the Samsung Shop app for $350 + taxes. The price changed from $449 to $349 when I went to check out. That was a nice surprise. I already have a bluetooth keyboard, so I just bought a sturdy case off of Amazon. Thanks again!! 😊

Nice review! I've been enjoying this tablet for over a month now, and I agree this thing is surprisingly good. I'm glad I've swapped this for my old Xiaomi Pad 5. This also came with a free brick charger and the one piece version of the slim keyboard cover. If you want a Tab S9 but too constrained on the budget, this is your next choice. You're not losing all that much, except maybe the DeX version where you can export your display to an external monitor.

@STEPHdj92 6 ай бұрын

What other options do I have if I want to display the content on an external monitor or a TV? I know its not possible via cable but I guess it should be possible wireless, right? Does it require any special App or it works with any conventional monitor?

@ZeroEightTwenty 6 ай бұрын

@STEPHdj92 If via wireless, you can via Chromecast to a TV or perhaps a smart monitor. The USB port is 2.0, so there's really not much option on a wired connection.
