Anyone felt that the scaling of Android tablets is really "off"? It just isn't buttery smooth like IOS.

Hi. May I ask when you bought the tablet?

I bought from them exactly 1 week ago, and no free gifts....

Does anyone subscribe the digital version of Zaobao / Wanbao / Shinmin?

Is it that this tablet is not suitable to read the digital newspaper?

I have tried so many times, and every time it will hang whenever I want to read digital version of Zaobao / Wanbao / Shinmin through the apps....

It is a limited time offer at COMEX. I got it 3 weeks ago, no additional gifts as well. Just a $54 discount for 128GB LTE variant.

Yes, I have Straits Times subscription. I belive it is the app issue. I tested it on a few tablets such as Tab S4 (more powerful CPU than Tab s5e), Tab A 2019 and Tab S. These devices also have the same stuttering issue whereby the page will just hang and cause the app to restart. It does not happen all the time however. But yes, i know its irritating especially you are almost done with the reading.

I hate it when this happens...bought a phone 2 weeks ago and now its additional $40 off


Well, take comfort that you enjoyed the device 2 weeks more than others. I feel you though. It happened to me many times too.

The moral of the story is only get if you need, not get when yoy want.

For my case, it will get stuck or hang immediately. But no re-start.

Now waiting for the Tab A (free for 2 years subscription of digital newspaper) in order to read the digital news....

Just went down to Harvey Norman....

No mention of free gifts, plus the cost is still the same.

Changing the battery at the Samsung center will probably cost $100+. Don't quote me on it though. Check with the service center.

Bought the S5e at the Best Denki booth. $528 with book cover, speaker, powerbank and sdcard. Sigh... Didn't bring my other phone for the otp and my saved cc. Couldn't use Fave to pay. 2% gone :(

btw, did you all know that Tab S5E is using the slower eMMC storage?

While the Tab S4 has UFS 2.1 storage, the Tab S5e has eMMC flash storage instead, which is considerably slower.

Source: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-S5e-Wi-Fi-Tablet-Review.421401.0.html

Netflix supports only HD (720p) instead of Full HD 1080p

Benchmark performances is worse than the older S4

I had the S5e for a couple of days and found it to be slower than my older S4 and quickly sold it off :s22:

I do miss it's light chassis compared to S4
