Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 9.7

Advantages: - The best tablet on Android at the moment.
- Fixed most of the shortcomings of Tab S2.
- S-Pen in the kit, which allows you to use the device as a graphics tablet, just fall on the small UI controls. In addition, the pen allows you to control the mouse cursor (a small dot on the screen), it allows you to see tooltips at the buttons, open drop-down menus on sites when you hover - it will not work like that with your finger.
- Very bright screen with an optimal aspect ratio, so that the tablet does not seem elongated, like models with a 16: 9 screen. For the Internet and games that is necessary. I rarely watch movies, so black bands are not critical.
- Good cameras, there is a flash.

Disadvantages: - Price.
- Small amount of internal memory. The same tablet, at least should be 64 GB.
- Mechanical home button. Compared to touch, this one requires the use of force to press, while it is pressed with a click. If possible, I try not to use it.
- The average functionality of the firmware. In comparison with LG, there are few settings. For example, the standard launcher does not even allow you to move the menu button - it will always be on the right. Standard applications have very few settings, even the button illumination can only be configured using a third-party application. Well, only one thing: without rebooting, you can adjust the screen scale, there are many options.
- On a standard virtual keyboard, Russian letters are small compared to Latin characters.
- Portrait orientation. Because of this, there are two more drawbacks: the unsuccessful location of the rear camera, when shooting video, it is easy to close the camera with your fingers, and the device together with the original case weighs a lot. Holding with both hands, you can often accidentally press the "back" button (good, in game mode, you can lock the buttons).
- Not friendly with USB 3.0. Not so long ago, I specifically purchased a data cable.With the phone, everything works fine, but with this device there. When copying a file to a device, the system writes that the device is unavailable / disabled. Reconnected to USB 2.0 port - the problem was solved.

Comment: For a long time I was looking for a tablet on Android on the top gland. Unfortunately, the choice of devices is now small. At first I wanted to take the Huawei MediaPad M3, but it did not suit its unsuccessful firmware. After that, I was going to take Tab S2, but I didn’t like its design and other shortcomings.
Then I found this device, but because of its original price, I threw it out of my list. Seeing that the price came down from heaven, I realized: we must take it. I am satisfied with the purchase, I did not reveal any significant shortcomings for me during use. I was attracted by the presence of the S-Pen, I wanted to test the device as a drawing tablet.

I do not think that modern smartphones can replace tablets. On the big screen it is comfortable to view full versions of sites for PC; convenient to type text when on the on-screen keyboard, large keys; The browser has a tab bar at the top, as in the computer version. There is of course a computer, but with it you cannot lie on the sofa or take it on the road.

Advantages: Design!
The glass!
S-Pen Stylus included
The most sophisticated iron
branded keyboard case (very important to me)

Disadvantages: No S-Pen Stylus Case
Price

Comment: The best tablet at the moment on Android

Advantages: - Quality!
- Top Samsung in which everything is.
- Android! I do not tolerate Apple with their closeness, the rapid loss of relevance and all the filth in the updates.
- 4 gig of RAM
- Feather!
- Beautiful, albeit expensive, corporate cover. Absolutely everything on magnets, including the opening of the cover, etc.
- Standard Type-C connector for charging.

Disadvantages: 1. There are no backlight time settings for the touch buttons "back" and "windows" !!!!!!!!! Samsung, what are you doing ??? For this you need to put some kind of absolutely left soft. Otherwise, with a bright screen, it's hard to see where to poke a finger.
2. 32 gigabytes of memory for the "top" device - this is also a laugh for chickens. At least 64 is necessary. Moreover, those who believe that everything can be easily expanded with an additional flash card, alas, do not know that the android can be moved to add. Flash is not all the data! If you want to put a lot of programs and games, such as for a child, then the lack of memory will be very noticeable.
3. Price? Yes, a little expensive. But this device, which, I hope, will last for several years, so you can overpay for a decent quality brand.

Comment: From 2012 to 2018, the formerly top Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 P5100 16Gb was also used. Yes, it is still relevant in many ways. But of course I want something faster and more modern. Plus, the child is fond of drawing. Therefore, Samsung was also bought as a gift, but faster for modern games and with a drawing pen. There was a lot of joy.

Advantages: Convenient, fast, powerful, great camera, pen included, thin, enough charging for a long time.

Disadvantages: Not found

Comment: I took a installment plan for a year. I wanted to buy a Samsung tablet for 2 years. The model was easier. But when I saw it, there was no doubt. The price did not frighten, unlike some) It's nice to just come in and buy what I wanted, even better. Unlike others, everything suits. The camera was just as an addition, by the way. The tablet is really excellent. I am glad that the metal case in tempered glass. , deep and deep paints. I am getting la mini cinema. The games fly. The photos are excellent. For work, it’s better not to find. You can create music on it. For rest without a doubt. I don’t understand those who are trying to compare with Apple. I don’t see any sense. And I don’t see the point of those who write that the price is high. An affordable price for such a tablet.I do not fight like a vaunted Apple. The more I do not digest Chinese equipment. I recommend completely.

Advantages: Excellent advanced features! Top percent that copes with any tasks! His resource will last for three years at least. Amold screen! Honestly did not expect! I thought that I would eat my eyes out of habit, but in fact turned out to be very bright and juicy. Now I don’t want to look at others)). The battery is decent, for 6000 flies, there is a fast charge. On average use lasts for 2 days. Excellent sound from both headphones and from native speakers.

Disadvantages: Batteries in the 4G games mode are not enough for a long time, there is also a slight heat.

Comment: When buying a little hesitated whether to pay off such money or easier to take a laptop more powerful. Everything and decided to buy a tablet and did not lose. Vesh great! And much better than even the smallest notebook. By the way, I use the pen all the time. Comfortable thing! I would also like to say about the camera. It is at the flagship level!
