      Apple product's made to be not long lasting. No matter how you took a great care of it, you would get a system update which make your device getting slow and worse. Try to fix it cost nearly a price of new one and by not updating could prevent you to use some newer app.
      It's their strategy to milk people keep buying their product. I don't know what's wrong with their quality but i saw who broke their cable mostly always lightning type. Still i admit their camera and processor are great but not for the battery.

    Great repair and restoration. I honestly doubted that it was even possible given the state it was in when you first got it. There's no way that such repairs would be possible on a more modern device.
    And yes, I do remember the days when it was good to have SD card slots and headphone jacks! I never made use of IR blasters, though.
    Furthermore, I do believe there is a good market for new, but cheaper, tablets, since they tend to come with a newer version of Android than the maximum version that older flagships support. If this only supports Android 6.0 (officially), it's not a good purchase, since Android 6.0 is quite old now and is really the minimum required to install most apps nowadays. Further, a custom ROM really isn't worth it just to get one more Android version of support installed.

      There is no difference in the possibility of restoring this old hunk of junk or restoring a brand new S22 in the same condition. He just replaced basically every single part except the main board and the battery. The same could be done to a S22 or an iPhone 13 Pro and both would work fine.

    • @thankyouverymochi
      @thankyouverymochi 2 года назад

      true, a new budget tablet would be good for security as it run current android/ios. but if you use tablet for media consumption, old tablet like the one on video is better since it had oled screen.
      I use the exact same tablet, but I've been itching to buy a budget xiaomi tablet (mi pad 5). the reason is because the old tablet is slow, and can't multitask much. but I decide to not buy new one since I don't really need one.
      the bad thing about this tablet is it had plastic frame which is really easy to get chipped, you can't play current game, and doing work in this tablet is limited and not recommended.
      for me, appealing reason to buy a new tablet is fast-charging, cpu power, more refresh rate, and good steel/aluminum frame.

      this is why Samsung default locking bootloaders on their newer devices pisses me off, many old phones, even some as old as five years old can still shrug off 90% of apps if given a fresh custom install of android. This is very hard or near impossible to do with a locked bootloader and creates e-waste.

    I had one of this for some time and it was great. Not as powerful as an iPad but the screen was spectacular and the speakers quite good, one at each side for proper stereo. Passed it to my mother and she still uses it in 2022, which is remarkable as it was launched in 2014. It runs Android 6 so some apps are starting to fall off support (IKEA app that I remember) but the thing is still great for multimedia.
    Biggest problem with this tablets is that the beautiful amoled screen is expensive to replace, so if it breaks the tablet becomes “totalled” and the user will just buy a whole new tablet.

      @@marians6490 Tab S4 is the last one they made with a headphone jack. Kinda important if your car's bluetooth audio is laggy, so when you connect your phone/tablet via bluetooth the audio ends up lagging behind the video.

    my first tablet exactly! it was a dream to use for a long time but unfortunately it is a pain now. it was arguably the best tablet ever made at the time of its release.

    Android 4 was my favorite. It's what my Nexus 7 ran on and that tablet was amazing for its time.

    Hey mate , would really appreciate if you can post the links from where you have purchased the spare parts for the tablet. I have the same tablet, same colour and the same problem, cracked screen and middle frame. Keep up the good work.
