Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Series

[vengence_angels]

iPads cannot compare to Android tablets interopability personally.
But of course, each have their own strengths and weakness, prefer Android for work than IOS.

I like iPad Pro for my work and also for photo and video editing so will not be selling to.

Gonna get an android tablet solely for media consumption.

Also not sure if my eyes can take the LCD display cause my other devices are all OLED.

It's the other way round for me, media consumption on my iPads, then Android for works since transfers/integration better than iOS.
But yes, for your case photo/video editing better on iPads. Drawings too, with Procreate only available on IOS for the near future since no plans for Android release.

There's definitely a dfiference but manageable for me at least, unless you are that sensitive.

It's nice to see that we have more choices now. Just a couple of years ago, it seems the tablet scene is dead.

Now we have more tablets to choose from especially more to compete with the iPad mini.

Agreed, more choices is always good.
Then companies will innovate and provide better products

Shopee 10.10? would that come with free keyboard cover though?

If it's going to come with the keyboard, it probably may come with the keyboard on the first day, not just for special sales

You'll be surprised at how good LCD screens are. You put them side by side, you will find very little difference. Resolution is just as good. Mostly only slightly poorer viewing angle.

Yes, Samsung explicitly says that if you buy during the initial period of launch, you will get the slim keyboard complimentary of your purchase.

Question is whether their Shopee Store would have the same promotion.

None of the Samsung shop vouchers work on the S11 Ultra WIFI in the official Samsung Shoppe store

Alright, I've the review units from Samsung Singapore already.

Here are some quick thoughts as an owner of the Tab S9 Ultra for 2 years.

- Tab S11 does not have the anti-reflective coating found on the Tab S11 Ultra. But Samsung does sell an anti-reflective screen protector for S$38
- Tab S11 Ultra is crazy thin at 5.1mm, same as 13-inch M4 iPad Pro. The tablet actually can flex if you flex it, but of course it's not going to bend if you don't bend it
- Pogo pin connectors are moved to the back so previous model accessories cannot be used.
- The 1600 peak brightness makes it more usable for use under sunlight (before it overheats due to heat)
- S Pen has better tilt sensitivity due to new design
- S Pen new design makes it difficult to find the side button
- Pen tips for old S Pen cannot be used with the new pen which uses a bigger pen tip
- Magnetic stands for the Tab S8, S9 cannot be used because Tab S11 camera size is bigger. I do not have Tab S10 so I cannot say whether the camera size is the same.
- New SamsungDex within tablet needs time to get used to. Classic SamsungDex only available when connected to external display
- Battery life is around 8hr+ with above average brightness. Battery capacity for the Ultra is slightly higher even though tablet is thinner.
- Genshin Impact graphics settings default is High. My Tab S9 Ultra default graphics setting is Low.
- Samsung OneUI looks good
- The keyboard case without the touchpad isn't as useful as the one with the touchpad

If you're thinking of upgrading, I would recommend to S10 because it's now cheaper, or S11 because you know you need the higher brightness for outdoor use.

My Tab S9 Ultra still runs fast with the Snapdragon 8 gen 2 even though the S11 Mediatek Dimensity 9400+ is almost 2 times faster.

Battery life only 8 hours? is that for the S11 or the ultra? the official Samsung lists the ultra as having 23 hours of video playback

For both. That's at least 8 hours with 80% brightness. With auto brightness is around 12 hours easily

Just bought the base S11 WiFi model from Samsung website using company EPP account. After the Registration+ 50$ voucher and Atome payment 60$ voucher i paid around 800 to 810.

 

[froztheart]

Too bad Singtel only has the S11 and not the S11 Ultra.

 

[zekrom007]

Apparently, S11 Ultras bought from the Shoppe store are not eligible for Samsung Care+, which is only available for purchases from the official website

Which means Shoppe tablets only come with max 1 year warranty

That would be very strange.

Where did you get that info from?

 

[zekrom007]

I click Chat with whoever that is manning that Shoppe account of theirs

their exact response was

"AT: Hi. Welcome to Samsung Brand Store and thank you for your showing interest in our product. Samsung Care + is currently exclusive only for Official Website purchases at the moment. Is there anything else that we can help you with? Thank you."

and

"Samsung Galaxy Tab have 12 months local warranty by default but if you wish to purchase Samsung Care+ it is only exclusive for Official website purchases only. Hope it helps to clarify. Thank you. Is there anything else that we can help you?"

I was wondering how to get the 30% discount for Samsung Care+ but did not expect this response actually

Well, on the bright side, the Shoppe vouchers now work with the S11 Ultra purchases.
