    Just picked one up yesterday, android is the best. Ive been using it all morning and found it works great. The Battery life is great. I slapped a screen protector on and picked up an armour case too keep it some what safe from scratches n smudges. Great device i paid like 350+ and am happy with my purchase. Linked up my blue tooth headphones and chucked in a 64gb micro sd card. It suits my everyday needs thats for sure. I had always wanted a solid tablet and finally got it 😊

    i just bought this for my mom and she's loves it. For her usage, she doesn't need a high end/fancy tablet but something basic. The last tablet that I bought for her was in 2019 and it finally crashed on her. She's happy. Thanks for the video.

    I dropped my trusty old tab s5e on the floor last night. It was getting rough around the edges (figuratively and literally) so I was likely going to have to replace it soon anyway. I guess this forced my hand. 😢
    My initial thought was excitement that I had an excuse to get a shiny new tab s9 in a couple of weeks. But I’m going to be sensible about this. The s9 looks amazing, but for how I actually use a tablet it’s utterly unnecessary. The A8 looks like the appropriate successor for me.

      Yeah, that'd have been awesome but I still don't regret buying it cause I got its 4+64gb variant at 120$ with nice foldable cover & tempered glass. So no complaints for that cheap price plus budget Tablets always lacks processing power & update support specially when compared to equally priced smartphones.
      They launched it with Android 11 & now it's on Android 13 plus they atleast provided One UI 6's multitasking features with One UI 5.1.1 update.
      & for that I appreciate Samsung.
      At the end of the day when you need a cheap device that just works then this one is for you😊

    Costco black Friday deal. $180. Can't beat the price. Coming from a Tab S3 this processes everything faster. However the screen is subpar. Everyhing looks bleached out. Blacks aren't blacks. So a little give and take. In terms of downloading and multitasking comparing it to the Tab S3 it's night and day difference. Wiah the screen was better.

    Samsung needs to start offering 8-inch high-end tablets again. The last great Android tablet of that size was the Nexus 7 2013. Android excels more at that size than a semi-productivity device that's more than 10 inches.

    • @hoyoungwon
      @hoyoungwon  Рік тому +2

      Now with smaller bezels, the base Galaxy Tab S6~S8 is actually a pretty compact size! I'd say it's pretty comparable.
