Well done, but I won't buy any more.

I bought it on pre-order in the company's online store. The keyboard case in this case was a gift instead of 12 The first impression - that I was cheated somewhere! The screen is not the same as on the top Samsung smartphones, no better than on Lenovo 2-3 years ago. Even worse - when you turn the tablet, the white color is distorted by a green or blue tint, the palette is not regulated in any way in the settings, you can only set the "saturated" colors. I called tech support and they couldn't explain. Then I read on the Internet that this is a feature of all displays with AMOLED matrices (before that I had no experience with Samsung devices). This is perhaps its main drawback, because of which I was going to return it, but I was told that if the package was opened and the tablet turned on, then the return of the goods is impossible! I personally did not find the use of the stylus, the text is much faster to type on the keyboard or dictate. It seems to me that this is a relic of the past, or the lot of highly specialized natures. RAM is available 3 of 6GB, slot for SIM / SD one. The proprietary shell and browser are good (I don't like Chrome). Working via RDP is not very convenient, everything is small, it would be nice to increase the diagonal, but scaling can be applied. DEX mode is largely useless, it's easier to switch between applications in full screen than to divide an already small screen into parts. Separately, it is worth noting the sound - here it is at its best, sometimes when watching the video it seemed to me that someone was talking in the next room! The battery charge at a brightness of ~ 75% is enough for a day of active work. By the way, I expected that there would be more brightness, as on Smart TV, but I had to unscrew it almost to the full. I did not notice the PWM effect, about which there is a lot of talk, my eyes do not get tired. I was more upset by the matrix and color reproduction. Finally, I will say that the price is clearly too high, there is nothing revolutionary in it that would be worth that kind of money, IMHO.

Pros
  • + performance, Android 9.0 + almost full keyboard with touchpad (sold separately) + branded browser and shell over Android + great sound + battery life
Cons
  • - display, screen, viewing angles - stylus-pen, in fact, a useless thing - weight with keyboard case - overcharge
