Samsung Electronics SM-T830NZALXAR Galaxy Tab S4 with S Pen, 10.5, Gray

Heres another so-so review. Individually, this tablet is pretty good. Great screen, decent battery, etc.

Very good

I particularly hate the case with the keyboard. Everything falls out and it is awkward to use. Otherwise if functions well.

Very nice. I use it all the time. Very clear screen. Very responsive. Really like the pen. I use it to draw quite a bit. Great battery life. I can go 9.5 hours before I need to think about recharging. And some apps allow me to hook up my wired switch controller (with a adaptor) to play games. Really like it

I liked every feature related to this tablet. The worked as well as it was advertised at first, and I thought of it as a cheaper and less powerful alternate to the TAB S6. However, one fatal and apparently common flaw would render my tablet useless within a few months of use. Apparently, there is a chance for the tablet to BRICK itself if the battery power runs out of charge. Its not a 100% chance as I experienced this problem within 3 months of owning the tablet and witnessing its battery die about 3 times. Yet, after having the tablet serviced by Samsung, the tablet last another 5 months before BRICKING again after about 2 times of me catching my breath to be able to recharge the battery. At third time that this tablets battery lost power, the tablet became a $500 BRICK AGAIN. I havent submerged the tablet in water nor dropped it any height above the ground. But, never would I suspect that a battery losing its complete charge in an idle state to render a great device obsolete. Anyone daring to use this device would need to power the device off on low battery or ALWAYS remember to charge it, or you too will own a $500 dollar TAB S4 BRICK. Its a shame that this once great device could not survive at least a year of regular usage.

Tablet provides all functions excepted from Samsung. My only gripe would be the touch screen appears not to be a sensitive as older tablets. Video, sound quality and battery life are great.

Have had no issues good on storage space

I purchased the 256GB Tab S4 (without LTE) and a keyboard cover, primarily for school. I have a Samsung S8+, and all I needed was something with a bigger screen to get some work done. My thoughts:

Has been the best tablet yet very pleased with it.

This is my second Samsung Tab tablet. I loved the first, but needed one with a stylus. This one has it and it works beautifully. The screen is very sensitive to the touch of the stylus but not so much that it makes it hard to use. The battery life on this tablet will last me about two days with consistent use. Its a little heavier than my first tablet (Samsung Tab S2 9.7) but its also faster and more responsive. If youve ever had a Samsung Galaxy phone, this is much like owning a very large version of one.
