I want to buy a tablet for college. I have considered Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 and IPad Air M4, I know these options might be overkill just for college usage, but I really appreciate a high quality screen for watching movies and casually playing some game (not a priority for me), idk maybe minecraft during a long flight. I also would like this Tablet to last at least 5 or 6 years. I know ipads can last these amount of time without any problem, but I have no experience with Samsung devices, so i would like to know if that is the case too. If yall have any recommendations, please tell me :D

I mean with the proper set up this is essentially a 120hz HDR OLED display at around 1440p resolution. I'm already interested in the tablet but this would make it an amazing purchase in my eyes. Based off my research it isn't exactly clear, there's a lot of adjacent answers but none as direct as I'd like addressing my use case that I could find.

I appreciate any answers :-)

I've had this tablet since about June last year (2025) and I've only just noticed these marks on the screen that I can feel but don't just come off like how you'd normally just rub something off the screen. I've only used the tablet at home and the occasional out somewhere holiday or so and so but I've also been super careful of it as anyone would, I've always had the keyboard case on it and usually closed when not in use has been perfect but is this something else or? quite confused as I had quite literally super careful with it and haven't dropped it or anything like that, I use it a fair bit but its not on constantly or under any extreme circumstances, anyone have any ideas would this be under some factory warranty or?

Hey guys, is there anyone here who uses the Samsung S11 Ultra for reading e-books and taking notes? Is it easy to use for this purpose? Having ultra heavy books in my backpack every day is going to be painful. Does it work seamlessly with Amazon Kindle or books downloaded from Amazon? 

I wanted to ask artists that use samsung. I used 12.9" 4th gen ipad pro for drawing (6gb ram) but given how I am always on my bed it's very challenging to hold it. So I thought of getting the small S11 or perhaps 11" ipad pro, maybe that will fix it - or should I try another solution is having a side desk on the bed? I really fancy the ultra if I ever wanted to try maybe the S8 ultra 16gb version used or tab s10 ultra 12gb used. I don't know, I just lost motivation when it's so hard to hold. At the same time I feel like I'm sacrificing real estate for comfort. Can anyone help me out? I'm mostly excited for the wacom tech on the spen.

Currently have a couple a9 tablets for my kiddos to watch youtube on which works great. Got tasked with streaming my sons baseball games. Used my a9 today which worked ok but wondered if the newer generations or s series would have a wider angle camera. Couldnt see first and 3rd in the shot together

I bought this stylus for my Samsung tablet.

I notice, however, the nib wobbles when I touch it with my finger and it has this clicking sensation when I use it on my tablet.

It also bends when I write something on the tablet.

Is this normal?

I noticed for about three weeks whenever I charged my tablet and the battery is below 20%, it will accept the charge and proceeds to die immediately. Then it will boot up on its own. Once it gets to the home screen, I see the battery is at 0% but charging. Then it will die and boot up again. However, it will stay at the Samsung Screen then proceeds to do a boot cycle for a while. And what I just said, I witnessed it this morning.

Eventually it will charge but the tablet will be off. This behavior only occurs when the battery is below 20%. I know the tablet received and update not too long ago so I don't know if that is related or if the battery is cooked.

The battery life is good and it last for days on idle. It just the odd behavior when charging if the battery is below 20%.

Can someone explain why Files doesn't just show me my files in the folders that contain them? It seems to show something called "Categories" which seems to just be all of whatever is in every folder. I have seen this on other device manufactures and don't get it at all. Just show me the actual folders. (I realize that under the hood that folders are just a mapping, but it's the mapping that I want not the raw dog files all in one lump).

Is there a setting to fix this?

Running the One UI 8.5 Beta on my S23 Ultra and wishing Samsung also offered beta for their Tab lineup.

That is all.

Hi everyone, I’m trying to figure out case/keyboard compatibility for the Galaxy Tab S11, and I’m specifically interested in the Book Cover Keyboard – AI Key (EF‑DX725).

This keyboard case is officially made for the Tab S9 / S10 FE / S10 Lite, but I can’t find any clear info on whether it physically fits the Tab S11.

Has anyone here tested:

• the EF‑DX725 on the Tab S11,
• or any S9 / S10 FE / S10 Lite cases on the S11?

I’m mainly wondering about:

• alignment of the pogo pins,
• magnetic attachment,
• camera cutout fit,
• whether the tablet sits securely,
• and if the keyboard actually works when connected.

If you’ve tried any cross‑generation cases on the S11, I’d really appreciate your experience. There’s almost no info online about compatibility between these models.

Thanks in advance :)

On my tablet I can't do that (tab s10 fe). In my s25U it has this function of zoom the screen, passing the S Pen through the screen.

I downloaded SuperDisplay to give it a go today (as my previous method of using Samsung's Second Screen didn't work, since both my computer and tablet won't connect to each other, despite seeing each other on bluetooth/USB connection)and I'm finding that while the touch screen still works, my stylus doesn't.

This is the stylus that came with my tablet. I can tap the screen and it registers it just fine, but when I put my stylus to the screen, nothing happens. I've gone through the FAQ, I'm gone through all the settings, and I'm not sure what's going on. I have Windows 11, so it could be a compatibility issue.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how to fix this?

I am confused regarding which tab size and configuration to choose as I have never used a tab before. My options are tab A11 and A11+.

I will primarily use the tab for reading pdfs and occasional YouTube and browsing. Portability is also a factor to me. Will the bigger screen size make a huge difference in reading?

Will the lower ram/storage variants (4/64 a11) pose a problem for my tasks?? I intend to use this tab for at least 2 years. Money is also a factor for me as I am student.

Thank you.
