I appreciate the tablet's versatility with the active button, earpiece for phone calls, and Samsung Dex for desktop mode, although it requires an external display. The Exynos 9810 chipset and 4GB RAM provide solid performance. The design may not suit everyone, the tablet excels in screen quality, performance, and S Pen inclusion - My Next Tablet |

We were particularly intrigued by the rugged S Pen that comes with the tablet. Despite its sturdy build and an IP68 rating, the stylus provided a fluid writing experience. The tablet also includes a fingerprint sensor, USB 3.1, a charging socket, and pogo pins for compatibility with worksite devices. - Engadget |
