The tablet's size is perfect: small and light enough to easily grip, store, or carry, yet large enough to handle tasks for which a phone screen is simply too small. Compared to its predecessor, this tablet is also considerably lighter and thinner, further enhancing its ease of use. I often find myself grabbing the tablet to quickly look something up, watch movies, or edit photos. The image quality is truly stunning.
I can wirelessly transfer photos from my Samsung phone in seconds. Then I use Samsung's AI features in combination with photo editing apps. This is much more user-friendly than on a phone; thanks to the larger screen, you can see details much better, making editing easier and more precise. I love using the S Pen for this. It's now the size and shape of a pencil, making it comfortable to hold; a significant improvement over its predecessor, which felt a bit clunky. Bluetooth functionality is now missing, but honestly, I don't notice it when using it. The button on the pen still works to quickly open the S Pen menu. What has changed is the way it's attached: you now only click the pen onto the top of the tablet, no longer onto the back.
Samsung DeX is great for multitasking. It gives you a computer-like experience where you can open multiple apps in windows and use them side by side. However, I recommend using a physical keyboard. Without a keyboard, the on-screen keyboard overlaps your apps, which is awkward. Thanks to Samsung's AI features, you can look up or translate anything on the screen with a single tap; something you don't get on a traditional laptop. However, I find the tablet a bit too small without a keyboard to use DeX comfortably.
I'm very happy with the tablet. It's fast, has a good screen, is user-friendly, fits comfortably in the hand, has good AI features, and Samsung DeX is easy to use when you have a physical keyboard.
