Thanks. Finally, someone is talking about Samsung's bad decisions with their tablet lineup. Apple brought the M series chips to the iPad and standardized the 11 and 13 inch tablet sizes. But Samsung wants to force people to buy a 14.6 inch tablet with a MediaTek chipset that delivers only half the performance.

And on top of all that, they still ruined the 14.6 inch tablet with an ugly notch.

I think Samsung's failure relates more to utilizing 2nd and 3rd string hardware. Samsung covering all the screen size options is not a failure point really. The suthor just has a personality problem and is projecting his personal preferences upon the whole community. It's not a rational article.

I think tablets of 8", 10", and 12" are ideal sizes. Who wants to carry a 14.6" tablet? Also, ChromeOS is updated far more regularly and longer (up to 10 years) and it works okay in a tablet format. Samsung ought to try out a ChromeOS tablet with keyboard combo, like Lenovo has.

Tablets are meant to be portable and swipable. A tablet of almost 15" is too big to use comfortably. Ideally we'd see a 10-11" and a 12-13" variant.

Always found the Tab Sxx plus to be a perfect size for me. When you go 13 inches and beyond the tablet just becomes unwieldy unless you are a pro using it for large drawing tasks. I would have preferred they drop the pro and only have the standard Tab S11 ans S11 plus.

What's with this "we" sh!t? Nothing like a large "ultra" sized tablet for document handling.

I feel like I’m the only one who likes the s10 ultra. Perhaps that’s due to how I use the tablet.


My phone is for calls, texts, and taking photos and videos. My desktop is for work and gaming. My tablet is for consuming media. As such, it’s primarily competing with a traditional TV.


The large screen on the S10 ultra is a joy, and a superior experience to consuming media on the iPad, which I also own. If Samsung can make the product lighter while keeping that big beautiful display I think they’ll have a winner.


I understand that some people want a tablet they can walk around with or take photos with, but I just wanted to add that there’s at least one person who likes the comically large screen.

speak for your self, not for the community. As for me Having a 14 inch amoled screen is awesome 👌 and no it doesnt feel awkward for me

I use mine primarily for recreational purposes and having that big screen

Allows me to see and notice the small things alot better in detail, The S7 S8 And S9 as well as S10 are great devices, fingers dont get in the way of what im trying to do, if it feels awkward to you probably have tiny hands, this tablet is amazing for those with big fingers, YOU might not need a 14 inch display but some of us do and enjoy it contrary to your opinion

I would go along with an ultra it was approx the size and aspect ratio of the iPad pro. That way the form factor is closer to that of a sheet of paper and more useable as a laptop replacement. It would then be more productivity oriented.

I have the s9 ultra, absolutely love it. The s pen is the thing that I love most (don't know if the other variants come with one). I'll be upgrading if the specs are worthy of an upgrade. And the size is also brilliant when paired as a second screen wirelessly.


I seem to be a minority. But for me best tablet I've owned
