My version of this (which is xiaomi) the k70 ultra and xiaomi redmi pad pro

I have to type it extremely quickly. In Google Docs especially. It never happens when I type slow. But if I fly through typing, like 100 wpm style, it always misses the u, or at least 75% of the time. I've had this issue with the Tab S9, S9 Plus, S8, S8 Ultra, and so on. Again if I slow down intentionally, no problems. Only when I'm speeding through. Either way, I'm happy you aren't having the issue, because without that, I'd be loving the keyboard cover a lot more! The Dexnor isn't perfect either, the touchpad is actually pretty bad on it. So I turn it off. That's why I mentioned that even in my sponsored segment, always have to keep it real. Happy you got it replaced though, and happy it's working well for you!

Thanks for sharing! Yeah a case like that is a good option. The benefit of the Dexnor is that you can take the keyboard off entirely and only carry it with the tablet when you know you'll need it. I put s tempered glass on the front anyway so it's pretty protected. I also don't love folding keyboards. But I do really like using a Samsung Outdoor Cover with my Galaxy tablets and using a Bluetooth keyboard like an mx keys mini. Those are my 2 things I like to use. But everyone is different. Thanks for commenting and giving people more options. I'm all about it

Great thoughts, and very good use case!

Thanks for the tip about the Citrix app for the Tab S9 Ultra. I will definitely give it a try at work so I can give presentations and share data right off my desktop. computer.

@@robertcolpitts4534 I hope it works as well for you as it does for me. I use "Citrix Workspace"

For me, I've got a few things I like to use. The Samsung book cover keyboard is nice overall but a little expensive. The Dexnor keyboard cover is a good alternative, the trackpad is pretty bad but I turn it off and use a Bluetooth mouse. But those options are both a little heavy for a tablet. Another one of my favorite options is the Samsung Outdooe Cover. Because you can carry your tablet by the kickstand, it almost acts like a briefcase, and you can just bring a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse separate when you want to use DeX or get productive. I also like to have a usb c hub so I can connect to a monitor or if I want to connect other things to the tablet. Anker is a good brand. Hopefully these things help

I haven't. It's great as a second screen when connected wirelessly. Wired in, I don't notice much latency if I wire up to a monitor. I think latency is fine wired in. But again, that's for monitor use. Haven't ever tried to use other apps to play ps5 through it. I'll be very curious to see if anyone else has had that experience. Would love to know how it works. Just haven't tested those things yet.

@@AndroidDigest thanks for your reply.

Thanks so much! Appreciated

Seriously thanks so much. Means a lot

For sure, I love it.

Couldn't agree more!

No. Samsung has those patented I'm guessing. No other keyboards use the pins. I don't start typing right away if it's been asleep. It's supposed to last for two weeks of continued usage. But I haven't had to recharge it and it's been over a week. A good amount of usage. It may be 3 or 4 weeks of pretty good usage for a recharge. But it's 4 hours to recharge it. To give an idea. According to amazon. It's got great travel. Great backlighting. A poor touchpad but I use a Bluetooth mouse anyway. I enjoy it. But it's not perfect. I keep it real even if they sponsor me. I think the $350 model is pretty flawed so I'm happy to accept a flawed $150 model that's cheaper with coupons.

There is a built in tool called second screen that will allow it to connect to your PC.

Yes. Search second screen in Windows. It's built into windows. It should detect it nearby if on the same wifi

For sure. I love it

Thank you so much. It means a lot

On a side note, I'm selling mine. In the next few days. You check check my twitter @digestandroid . But if you have to wait and look for a good deal, I'm sure there will be plenty. Good luck!

@AndroidDigest Thanks for the info , if it's not sold within 2 weeks, I'll reach out to you. Keep up the great work.

For sure! It probably will be. I sell things within 2 to 3 days, but you can always follow me for tech deals, I post them every few weeks depending on what I'm reviewing or doing. Mostly on X. But either way, appreciate the follow. And like I said in the video, sales are pretty fequent. Best Buy Open Box deals are terrific, especially if you want "excellent condition". As long as you buy open box BEFORE they take the display units off the shelves. When they make those open box, they often have screen burn. That's why it's a better time to buy now, before the S10 comes out. Anyway, appreciate the sub! More tablet content coming. Tab S9, A9+ updates, and then The Lenovo P12 and then some more Android phones

Thanks! Appreciate it

Yeah. It's a tough call. Save more money, and get 6 months of extra usage, even if the S10 Ultra comes out you can be happy that you bought yours on sale vs full price. Savings hundreds and being 6+months of usage, because I'm not expecting a release until January. BUT we'll see. Some people really like waiting for the newest

s@@AndroidDigest Thank you for your response. You right. Only a pity that Galaxy Tablet's S series have only 3 years of big Android updates. Tablets can be use much longer as smartphones. My first and last tablet was Galaxy Tab S Note 12.4. I bought it in 2014 and used almost 6 years. But got only one big Android update. With Tab S10 Ultra Samsung could extend big updates to 5 years as at S24 series. But isn't officially. With this I can wait.

This is very good. With the keyboard cover it's actually bigger than a laptop. Because the kickstand AND the keyboard take room. On the other hand, if you don't have the keyboard attached it can be MUCH smaller and fit into tight spaces. You're dead on

Yes it would charge. It's similar to a phone. It will give you an option if you are pulling down from the notification bar, it will have an option to do file transfer, USB charging. And you can select what you want it to do

Exactly. Your dead on. iPad is great for many. But unnecessary in some ways. And missing the sd slot, or other flexibility you get with Android

I hope you enjoy it. I think a lot of it is just an OS preference thing. I think the better value is with Samsung but iPads are still great. But I like that sd card slot flexibility and that os flexibility on Android. Hope you enjoy it when you get it! If you buy from Best buy or Samsung try to use those description links too. You don't have to but it helps 😂. Appreciate you. Leave any comments with questions. I don't always see follow ups but I try to respond to every comment at least once

Thanks for sharing your experiences. For me I drop a little more. I know some battery tests, on 150 nits of brightness, on those tests people were getting 9 to 10 hours. Practically I'm keeping my device on higher brightness. So I'm closer to 7 hours. But updates have made the battery life maybe a little better than those initial tests from websites. But I'm still around 6 to 10 hours. Normally 7 or 8 depending on what I do.

​@@AndroidDigest you're right, I forgot to mention brightness level. I use auto, mostly indoors, never more than 50%.

I have samsung s9 ultra aim gaming fortnite 80% 50% in 1hour en 15 minits It a good battery

It's great for sure

You'll love it

Enjoy it!

Great choice! I've been loving it for movies and games. I've had it for about a year now, I think.

I did too!..love it!

@@angieamarillo I love how you can have different icons too and moving wallpapers and much more

Seems like a really good deal honestly. The Yab S8 is only worth around $350ish online especially after fees. So yeah. Getting a lot more for it, it's really worth it

Good! Glad to see someone likes it!

Not really. But remember, this is not a cell phone. So it's not going to have anywhere close to the quality of pictures as you're going to get from an actual phone. Plus it's a larger screen, so you're viewing the photos on this ginormous screen, so they're going to look even worse quality than they would looking on a smaller phone

For sure. It's great

I just use the screensavers that come with the device honestly so not sure what you mean, maybe I'm misunderstanding

LOL! Yeah. Funny comment. I love it. Thanks for watching all the way through, 19 minutes was tough for me. And The Dexnor is great. Just lower quality touchpad. I turn it off and enjoy everything else about it. I will say I'm selling my S9 Ultra (admittedly, very scratched up on the screen 😂) for $580 on Twitter (@DigestAndroid). But if looking in mint condition, yes, you will save a few hundred. But a little more wear and tear on an older model and missing some features. If you want the size though, the S8 Ultra is great, and you won't miss too much. But there's value either way. Either you get more updates, a newer device, slightly faster with slightly more brightness, all with the S9 Ultra. Or you'll get something with 90% of the features and save some hundreds. Either way you'll be set

@@AndroidDigest have you used any screen protectors? Any recommendations? I don’t tend to use them and don’t usually have problems with my phones or tablets. But this thing is huge and expensive. I’ve also found many reviews of tempered glass protectors that are fragile and crack while you’re trying to install them, and that don’t last long. Lastly, the reviews of the Invictus series gorilla glass tend to suggest you don’t need one. Have you done a video about this yet? Thank you!

For sure, it's awesome

Good to know!

The ambient mode is irrelevant, the reason the video isn't full screen is because the aspect ratio of the tablet doesn't allow it to be completely full screen. There's going to be a small amount of bars unless you zoom in, and whenever you zoom in, you're missing some of the video at that point and the quality also decreases. I would rather show with the actual viewing and experience will be like, and it also allows me to show off the actual aspect ratio and the bars that you should expect without zooming. That's my personal preference. But I get why you would want to see full screen since you use it that way yourself

@@AndroidDigest I just mean that in ambient mode, the letterboxed regions are filled with color instead of pure black in full screen, which removes one of the main benefits of an OLED screen

Great for students. I do have a video about Galaxy tablets and productivity, and I talk about college students there: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/prOKkped0s3OgXk.html I would recommend this or the Tab S9 Plus though. This is the ultra beefy model, the S9 Plus is a little bit more portable, but still big enough.

It's good for anything

Yeah I made an updated review on that tablet recently. It's a very good tablet, glad you're liking it

Very true, those trades are always awesome.

Yeah I prefer Android personally, but always say to each their own

You can change the display size of items on your screen. I agree that the iPad is better. For sure, I'm Android to the core but I won't argue that. For those on the Apple side they have a definite treat. Here, I'm trying to explain who this is for: those who want that screen size, or those who want sideloading, microsd cards, a pen in the box, etc. The S9 Plus is the value play compared to the iPad for those reasons, and the Ultra is a little extra for more screen size if you want it. iPad is great this year! I love the competition.

@@AndroidDigest Ah with the max resolutions I think it still shows more due to the scaling, watched a ZoneofTech video showing it, to my astonishment there is such so much detail in aspect ratio, resolution, scalling, and zoom percentage combos. Anyhow, thanks for making the video as always!!

That's tough. Remember the S10 may not be out until next year. January or February is an estimate. Now we have sales. So you may end up spending an extra $300. If you're in the US you can find it mint condition, and if you pay $800, or $750. That's okay, because Samsung may give you $650 to trade it in anyway next year. So you will have options. If you want it new, the question is, should you take it now for like $300 cheaper? The S10 Ultra may have a price hike. It is rumored to be another phone chip, Snapdragon Gen 4 or something. Maybe you will get a less reflective display. Is that worth $300? If you always want the latest maybe you wait. But this is a good time to buy this tablet, you will get your discounts, 6+ months of usage, and you still paid less than the S10 Ultra so you save money. But it depends on the person

Once you get it into portrait mode the game itself has a setting where it will turn landscape during the race. But you could also try (if that doesn't work well) going into samsung's settings, and going to "labs" and there is a way to force apps into certain orientations. I'd set it up in portrait first and log in, and then try to change things from within the app first. Can't remember what I did. but hope this helps

Thanks for your answer, but I can't set it in landscape mode. I tried from the app and it shows a small portrait window, it doesn't fit the full screen. If I force full screen from Labs it zooms the image to fit the screen, but it loses the rate and it's hard to play. Your full-screen is perfect..

Oh yeah. You can definitely get productive on the tab S9. I'm not saying you can't. I was actually meeting with someone fairly recently, and I didn't want to take something big and bulky, so I took the tablet so I wouldn't be distracting and I was able to type up a ton of stuff right in front of someone. You can definitely get a lot of productive work done especially with the right tools. I was mainly referring to the fact that it's just harder to get more work done with a smaller screen. Not only can you see less on the screen, but the keyboard cover, if you buy a keyboard cover, those are obviously going to be smaller. You can avoid that by buying a Bluetooth keyboard, but my point is the size of the tablet does actually matter for productivity. So that's why I say that, yes, you can get a ton of productive work done on the Tab S9, but a bigger screen would typically help accomplish that a little better and a bigger accessories. But it doesn't mean you can't make the tab S9 a productivity powerhouse. I was just saying that the other tablets might be better suited for that function

That's insane considering you could get the S8 Ultra for around $400 or so on ebay. Maybe 500. But that's a great deal

Thanks so much, means a lot!

I would LOVE that. Dexnor has a magic keyboard alternative for the S9 Plus. It's great, minus the trackpad. But I just use a Bluetooth mouse, and I use that trackpad space as a nice palm rest. It's a great keyboard cover, it even has backlighting. Still can't compare to a really really nice magic keyboard though

It shouldn't matter at all that it's refurbished. Especially at this point. Maybe a refurbished Tab S7 or S8 would have issues. But you're pretty likely to get a good option here since it's still fairly recent.

Glad you're liking it! It's great

First off, I am absolutely in love with all of those laptops. But it's just a completely different thing. Tablets don't have a big keyboard to bring around with them all the time, this screen will be better than almost all of those Snapdragon devices, at a cheaper price, and even the speakers will be better. It will also be easier to do a lot of basic tasks, and easier to browse on with touch screen. So it really depends on what you're wanting to do

Good dreams!

It's definitely an awesome tablet

Rumors say that S10+ had mediatek, not that better than SD8 gen 2 (benchmark comparison). Maybe ultra will have sd8 gen 4, who knows

When will the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra be released?

Yes if u prefer ultra than good processor .and it's expected to release early or mid 2025

​​@@jackpre3399early or mid 2025. Probably early, Jan to March I'm guessing. I mean it's going to have a slightly better processor. Maybe a better anti reflective screen. I'm not expecting that much. Obviously it will be great though.

Every year we get a processor bump. We're still half a year from that. I'm not too worried about the S10. It will still be awhile

This is where we would disagree a little bit. And you need to know, I highly promote the iPads. My channel is Android Digest so I don't really talk about them much, but for those people who need that extra power I definitely recommend they go to Apple. But I think the idea that the m1 iPad runs circles around this is just not true for an average everyday user. Users are not running benchmarks or doing video rendering tests on a daily basis. They are going to Hulu, Netflix, they are surfing the web, even if they push their tab to more intense stuff like gaming, you can still game on almost every single game on the highest settings on this tablet. So what can you really do on an m1 iPad that you can't do at the same exact speed here? Almost all of those tasks are lightning fast. So you can't just compare an m1 iPad Pro from years ago, which is discounted due to age, you can't just compare that to a Galaxy Tab. If you're in the Apple ecosystem, by all means, I get that iPads do have more power for the money and if that's something you care about Or if you feel like you will notice that power, absolutely, I recommend it to you. And if you're all in on the Apple ecosystem, I would recommend going with a m1 or M2 iPad anyway because they are such a good value and they have more than enough power for pretty much everyone. So I'm actually with you 100%. But when you have smartphones on Android, or tablets on Android, that are so fast at every app that they open, They are so fast. On a daily basis I wouldn't even notice a single millisecond of a difference personally between this and an m1 iPad Pro. Or even an M3 or an m4. Day to day stuff you do on a tablet you just don't notice those differences, once you get as fast as something like a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 or Gen 3 You're not going to notice these gigantic differences even if the benchmark show that. Because you only take advantage of those differences and very very extreme use cases. In the end I think you are comparing apples to oranges, a ton of people out there don't want iPads, there's a ton of people that won't consider iPads at all because they want to stay on the Android ecosystem. For those people, this will be the flagship tablet for them. There's no need to constantly compare to Apple because most people on Android tablets just wouldn't even want to consider an iPad, they wouldn't want to split up their ecosystem. Also, you're missing a lot of the advantages. Of course Apple has always had the advantage with processing power, at least recently, but what about Samsung having 120 Hz on their tablets and on their phones for several years before Apple? What about having OLED and amoled screens way before Apple? What about the fact that this comes with an SD card slot, or what about the fact that this comes with the stylus? These devices are already hundreds of dollars off, they come with a stylus that saves you like $100 compared to Apple, they come with Samsung dex which is arguably way better than stage manager, and they come with SD card storage, which could save you hundreds and hundreds of dollars because that's how Apple makes money, they force you to upgrade storage by not allowing an SD card slot. Even over the m1 iPad Pro, you would still save money buying a Galaxy Tab. You would also get a lot of advantages. So I don't really agree with your argument. And again, I don't think the processing power is as important as all of these other things. But maybe this to you. Or maybe the app will ecosystem is that important to you. That's completely fine. But it doesn't make these tablets a bad value and it doesn't make them invalid. They are still tremendous values on Android especially with all the sales.
