S8U to S9U is looked upon as marginal as well but it was actually quite the decent upgrade... because A) the 1st gen snapdragon samsung made (not tsmc) had issues which gen 2 fixed.. resulting in up to a 50% increase in speed.. vs gen 1 and fixed throttling issues, much better battery life. B) making waterproof / IP68 resistant... C) the screen actually did get upgraded all around it's just the upgrades were minor.... minor bump in brightness, dynamic refresh rate , improved color gamut accuracy...
@zeuronplana8541 really ? How.mwny times that ip was relevant to you ? 😀 I'm pretty sure that even tab s8 series had the same manufacturing process, so they just decided to pay for certification
At this point idk what people are expecting from these companies in 2024. A few years from now people will expect their phones or tablets to make them breakfast,lunch and dinner. Its simple stop upgrading every 12 months
right lol i want the tab 10 because im switching from apple too samsung i have my phone and watch and ear buds all i need too finish it off is the tablet
I totally agree.... It's a flat slab with a screen and a stylus pen. What types of changes are we looking for exactly? They absolutely nailed the design with the eight Ultra.... Why make significant changes. It's slowly evolving like a Porsche 911.
Putting Mediatek chips (that are about to be replaced in a few weeks by newer gen ones) to save on costs while completely ignoring the base model just shows that even Samsung themselves doesn’t have faith in this generation of tabs.
I have no problem with the latest dimensity chipset. I wished Samsung could've been patient and release the tablet with the dimensity 9400 instead of the 9300+. For the price of the tab s10 I rather buy the iPad Pro M4.
What are you doing with a tablet that even a chipset from 3 to 4 years ago is not effective enough? I'm still using my 8 Ultra and it has never slowed down or not been able to handle whatever I wanted to do... At this point having the newest chipset is just for bragging rights.. like the hellcat owner who has 800 horsepower but practically nowhere to actually use it....
@@KC-lg8qf So you’re okay paying top dollar premium pricing for a product with a chip that’s about to be superseded in a month? By that logic it’s perfectly okay for you for Samsung to release the S25 Ultra with an 8 Gen 3 (instead of the 8 Gen 4) while charging the same price as the S24 Ultra because it’s “effective enough” and having an 8 Gen 4 is just for clout and for “bragging rights” anyway?.Absolutely Ridiculous. And this is coming months after Apple updated their iPad Pro and Air lines with the M4 and M2 chips. Samsung should be ashamed and embarrassed with themselves.
Coming from my Tab S7+ that I still use and love, I bought this S10 Ultra and couldn't be happier. Just like someone said above, quit feeling like you need to upgrade every year.
Wait a second... Tablets aren't like phones. Who ever said you needed to upgrade a tablet every year? 2 years? Maybe even 3 years? I'm still rocking a Tab S7+ and a Tab S8 Ultra. There's not much difference between those and the "newer" models.
@@NelsonGuirado then why release the tablets? if a product release doesnt make people switch their minds about not purchasing the series earlier then it's just a money grab..
@tizen_os I already put my comment section but to answer your question I don't think today tech was never meant to switch over to the next generation for little improvement. It's supposed to buy it if you have an outdated tech and you want something new at that time. For example, I bought the Samsung 10.1 tab A in the year 2019. Last year, I wanted a bigger screen, so I got the s8 ultra tab , which was big and an upgrade improvement from my previous tablet. I think tech now has so much better technology inside of it, memory, storage , processer, etc. compared a decade ago where you need to upgrade to the next generation but not anymore. S9 series will fade out like the s8 series, etc. So in the next couple of years, it will be s11 and s12 and so on. It's to buy it now if you have an outdated tech at that time you need it. But if you don't, then don't buy it.
@tizen_os so because you don't need to upgrade every year, they shouldn't releasing a new tablet annually? No one is telling you to go buy the latest and greatest. So while the competition makes a new device yearly, you expect samsung to use 2+ years old hardware and sell it as new?
Awesome, I appreciate you watching and subscribing 👊🏾! Totally agree; there was something about the chip not being a SD, that made me go look for flaws...but the darn thing is a beast.
We have reached a situation where devices from previous years are so good that there's no need to change it for at least a few years.... This may mean that demand for newer devices such as this tablet will likely to be low... The only thing that can restore this process is if innovation is prioritised.. Recently , I've heard that there's a chance of no regular galaxy S26 due to low sales (2026)...
That's so great to hear! I appreciate you noticing, and thanks for always watching! Yes, hold onto that beast of a Tab S9 Plus; that's actually my daily tablet.
Yep this is across the tech board. All the top manufacturers are doing it. Marginal and unquantifiable in reality upgrades. If people want to buy into it then that is up to them. Thank you for another great video and your integrity as a youtube reviewer is unquestionable.
Great commentary. You demonstrate that it's possible to be a yooge enthusiast of tablets and Samsung and yet still take a common sense approach to an upgrade schedule. I scored an open box Tab S9 Ultra from Best Buy for a price that had me rushing me down there a few months ago, and so now the 256 GB version Tab S9 I bought soon after release has a big brother/sister. They go well together, with the Tab S9 being mostly a hand held and the Ultra being mostly for media consumption and web browsing. I also have a Tab S6 Lite 2022 and a Tab S4, and believe it or not they have a place in the "ecology". The Tab S6 Lite 2022 is compact and so I use it as a handheld to save on the lifespan of my Tab S9 when my needs are casual. The AMOLED screen on the Tab S4 is still as gorgeous as it gets and lacks only in nits, so it remains a perfect device for watching video at night and/or in bed. Its headphone jack allows my one pair of wired only Skullcandy Hesh 2 headphones to retain some purpose, and they sound excellent. :) I figure that when enough improvements accumulate on the Tab series will be when I make my next purchase. I'd like to see Dolby Vision, more support for AptX (inclusive of the HD format and lowest latency versions), native support for all audio codecs so I don't have to use the VLC Player (which is excellent!), 144Hz refresh rate, second generation anti-reflection tech, ultrasonic fingerprint reader, more evolved speakers, and a noticeable bump in nits/screen brightness, albeit I never crank up my display more than half-way as is. I'm thinking about for HDR content. And in, say, around three years or so I expect memory sizes to have gotten a bump. It's hard to imagine much demand for more than 16 GB of ram, except for video editing, in the near future, but given how many of us are enamored of ginormous sized videos, I can see the Ultras at least with 512 GB of memory becoming entry level, also with 2 TB becoming an option.
Nice!! You're all stacked up, and have all of your tablet needs covered with the appropriate tablet; you and I are pretty much doing the same, 😅. Appreciate you watching fam👊🏾
The pressure to put out a new device whether they reinvent the wheel or not comes from stockholders. For me though, as an artist, I'm looking forward to getting the S10+ for the one new anti-reflection feature.
got my tab s10 ultra 5 days ago with its slim book cover keyboard, and honestly it's like a dream come true from my old tab s4. using this tab all the time all day now as a nursing student.
I totally agree. I love my Tab S8 Ultra. I didn’t notice an upgrade when using the Tab S10 Ultra. I’ll be returning it. And guess be using it until we have an upgrade come out LOL. But if someone first Samsung tablet, then buy the Tab S10 ultra!!!
You are not supposed to upgrade your device year over year. This is for people who have an older device (tab s7 and older). No one is telling you to go out and buy this after you bought the Tab s9.
Having Issues with COD Warzone on the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra. Graphical Glitch Issue is appearing during 10mins of gameplay. Same Glitch as the S24 Ultra. Firmware issue is present here
Traded a s7 5g in for a tab s9 11inch. I'm staying right there. Have a tab s7 + so I'm good for now. Still rocking a tab s4 as well. No s10 no mediatek, maybe snapdragon again in the future.
I have a Tab S9 FE 5G, Tab S9 (Wi-Fi only), and Tab S9+ (also Wi-Fi only). I don't have the Tab S9 Ultra because it's too big and too heavy for me (although recent temptations started to bother me a bit for me to purchase the Tab S9 Ultra despite the already hefty price tag). After learning a bit more about the situations of the Tab S10 lineup, I'm gonna keep my Tab S9 tablets for much longer
Man your videos look so crisp!! Seems better than 4k, while it's only 1080p, I don't know what magic you use....😅 Anyway, I think the antireflective coating is nice and the 7 years of updates nobody speaks about is a nice thing too for those who do not upgrade often... But not waiting for the Snapdragon 8 gen 4 or at least the Mediatek 9400 feels like Samsung cheaping out especially at currenty prices. Also removing from the line the smaller device, the ones where the margins are the slimmest (since the internals are all the same), is another way to save money... Hopefully they won't do the same with the phones....
True, very good points for sure! That was a good catch btw - I did indeed change my shooting settings. I now shoot in 4k, but still render and export in 1080p...more like a 1080p Premium, lol. I appreciate you watching fam👊🏾
Watching this after i just got my new 9FE lol after watching your reviews on it! I don't really need a tablet and only paid 100EUR for a new 9FE so I guess I'll just keep it for some years as i only use it for mails, notes and youtube. The new tablet looks cute though, however cant justify the price for what i use it
Thanks for the review, but my life has not been the same now that I've seen a human hold an Ultra tablet one-handed with fingers gripping opposite sides! lmao
Very honest review and I like it！Could you do some comparisons between the S9 ultra and S10 ultra Display quality？Especially in video playback , thanks so much!
Okay understood. It's the same. Just wanted to ask as a new buyer, should i buy this one because i am not able to find S9 Ultra in the market or online in my country?
THANK YOU! Finally, an honest review. Let's not mention the elephant in the room. No regular Tab S10 11 inch? Holding on to my Tab S8. I like my small tablet. If I want something larger, I will buy a laptop
Hey man I really like your videos, thank you for your indepth analysis if the tabs. 😂My favorite video is when you put the s9 series in your pool 😅 thanks, great work, keep it up more subscribers on the way
I had already seeing other youtubers doing the review, but I never miss on yours. My advice for those who are indecisive about it would be "buy it if you don't have a tablet". They are better than the s9 but not that much so to change if you already have one tablet yourself...
Du hast so Recht mit dem was du sagst....Samsung hat sich ja schon Offiziel an seine Kunden entschuldigt das zu wenig Innovationen gekommen sind sie sagen sie wollen etwas ganz neues machen und so wieder den Anschluss bekommen ich bin gespannt Samsung😃
Oh no! No 11 inch model! I love my Tab S9, it works best for me and a lot of people for doing normal tablet things. I wasn't going to upgrade this gen anyway but thought I would the next gen (S11 or S20 or whatever they call it) . Is it possible they release the S10 a little later or maybe do an 11 inch model every other generation? Thanks!
@@MrPoliarinis You're missing the point! It's not that 14.6" isn't better for some people it's that the 11" is also better for some people. They shouldn't stop making either of the sizes.
I absolutely hate that they git rid of the 11"!! It's just unbelievable to me that they would get rid of that size when we've been pressuring them and hoping they would drop and even smaller premium tablet. They decided to got the complete opposite way, 🤦🏾♂️
I got the Tab S9 Ultra and have no reason to upgrade. I want an ultra with a sim card, so I don't have to hotspot when I'm away from wifi. I'd also like a keyboard case like the iPad magic keyboard case, that chages the tablet, since their book cover case already cost just as much. Give us some color variations that Pop. Add an USB C thunderbolt port, and USB C 3.2 port so I have more accessory choices. Until then, I'll just hold on to my S9 until it dies.
Due to members discount i could get the s10+ for the same price as the s9+ or the s9 256gb. Ordered it but then cancelled it because it didn't feel right. Think i'll go with the 11" s9 256gb. Better size, and a tablet is a long term investment so i'd rather have a qualcomm that's already proven itself than a brand new mediatek or exynos or whatever.
These minor upgrades probably older versions not for s7 to s9 and even same applies to app,e as well. Every year, upgrades are not looking for Samsung and Apple. But, minor upgrades can bring new customers older versions means s5 s6 s7 or Apple 13 14 115 versions. As a tec you should mentioned these points instead of criticised..
I feel the same way... It's just very marginal update .. That got a silent launch because there wasn't anything to brag about.. The only upgrade the screen coating and mediatek chips.. But these "improvements" are questionable.. Matte screen coating for instance have been know to dull the image and colors on screen ( ask on any TV review forum you'll see what I mean) ... I have even seen many reviewers say the S9U actually has puncher colors and looks brighter because of this... ( ignoring screen reflections of course)..... Mediatek chip although improvement over SD gen 2 is minor plus you'll lose some performance due to certain apps not being optimized for the GPU... Very Meh..... I remember people used to Roast the S8U vs S9U ultra for being the same but looking but it actually had a lot of upgrade... Especially compared to S10U vs S9U
frankly i was slightly dissapointed at first when i heard about them going with mediatek instead of snapdragon. in no way am i saying mediatek is bad it might not be as common to people i was just simply caught offguard because it felt like they barely did anything to it , i thought about it and still went with the deal , because im a samsung enthusiast and the deals are nice every time they release a new one and its often cheaper to just trade in your previous galaxy tab then buying the new one outright.
I got this tablet today and first thing I noticed, HDR not working. I’m returning this one and sticking to my Tab s9 ultra. The anti glare screen looks fine but somehow screen doesn’t look not as crisp as s9 ultra. Anyone getting this, test HDR first.
I don't think todays tech was never meant to switch over to the next generation for little improvement. Or a major upgrade from the previous generation of last year tech. It's supposed to buy it if you have an outdated tech and you want something new at that time. For example, I bought the Samsung 10.1 tab A in the year 2019. Last year, I wanted a bigger screen, so I got the s8 ultra tab , which was big and an upgrade improvement from my previous tablet. I think tech has so much better technology inside of it, memory, storage , processer, etc. compared a decade ago where you need to upgrade to the next generation but not anymore. S9 series will fade out like the s8 series, etc. So in the next couple of years, it will be s11 and s12 and so on. Is to buy it now if you have an outdated tech at that time you need it. But if you don't, then don't buy it. So I,m keeping my s8 ultra tab probably won't upgrade until the s12 or s13 ultra tab then I will see an upgrade or major improvements over the s8 ultra tab. I wait until several generations to see a difference. That's my 2 cents. Lol. Ps. I'm watching this on my s8 ultra tab.
1. That would REQUIRE tandem OLED screen, like the iPad. 2. That would mean they lose the thin profile, like it'd need to be 9mm+, literal tank weighing about a kilo as well... Not viable
🤣🤣🤣 I immediately cracked up reading this; why didn't I think of it and say it in the video? Dang it! OK get ready for those 3am inspiration phone calls to resume 💪🏾
Given this is basically a processor update, Samsung should've waited till 2025 or 2026 to release the Tab S10 series with more meaningful updates. I also don't understand the rationale behind ditching the 11" model, are they conceding to Apple here?
Guys all Samsung should do is fine tune their products. Focus on improving the software quality the better the optimization is the better the product will be.
The biggest upgrade here imo and the main reason to upgrade is the 7 years of OS updates which literally 1-ups thr ipad and also ofc the antireflective display and chipset
At least, they don't pretend they builded this device completely new from the ground up.😂 Upgrade from last year's model is in most cases (phones, tablets, watches, etc.) not necessary.
Hi Please Help 🙏 I purchased tab s9fe wifi 6/128 2days ago I noticed it gets warm near memory card (not inserted)slot from back side😢 . I want to ask if it is normal or I should visit store for the issue.
People are complaining because Samsung has release incremental improvements the last 3 years. So, Samsung has made improvements to their tablet every year, albeit small ones, but are selling it for the SAME price as the older UN-improved models? How dare they, lol! You're still welcome to buy the old ones at the same price if it really bothers you so much. Ain't nobody stopping you from living in the past. Go for it.
Ikr for 50 bucks extra you can get the slightly BETTER tablet AND with the black friday deal now it's exactly the same price as a regular sale of s9 ultra. I just bought mine and is so excited. Upgrading from 3rd gen ipad pro 12.9 to this beast
Guys. Galaxy tab s9 ultra vs s10 ultra, snapdragon vs dimencity. Which one should I buy? I'm not a power user. I don't really play games. Is snapdragon more reliable for a long time because it's already passed its test? S9 ultra 512\5G has the same price as s10 ultra 256\wifi .
Some people saying still good for s8 9 ultra but BEHIND they like to have the S10 Tab ULTRA LOL! Think of FUTURE UPDATES that s8 9 won't have only S10 Tab would have.
To be honest the Galaxy Tab S series should get new models with a gap of at least 2 years, annual releases make most users not upgrade because has almost no difference in real world performance, no new games that uses that chip GPU(even getting worse performance because devs prioritize SnapD. Otimizations), no new S-pen technology, no new professional apps to use that huge screen and processing power, that's like buying a Ferrari every year to drive in a city that only 30Kmh is allowed
Why are you buying a Ferrari every year? You can buy a 2022 Ferrari and still be driveable in 2024. It's to buy it now at the time when you need it when you have outdated tech. No one is forcing you to buy the next generation every year. S line debuted in 2014, so from S1-S10. For the past 10 years. The s1 and the s2 were little updates between the two. Just like s9 and s10 now. This is nothing new; they release new technology that has existed gradually. If you have an older S line 1-7 or an older tablet, then it will have huge improvement and upgrade of the latest S8-10 at the time when you need it. In the future, it will be the s11, s12, etc.
Hey, i wanted to ask you if s8+ s9fe+ or s9+ would be better for a pre engineering student. Actually I am going to college in a few months and need a tab to do a lot of note taking good battery life it's mostly a study tablet but in my free time I would like to draw and watch RUclips.
You almost got me there! 😅 Go for your phone upgrade for now. As I mentioned in my reply to your original question, and given the way you're currently using your Tab S8Ultra, hang onto it, unless you find an unbeatable trade in deal on the S9U or S10U.
Nah, but for real, though, you're right. Samsung IS copying Apple. And then Apple copies samsung, then Samsung copies Apple. The cycle continues. Im coming from the Tab S7+, and i couldn't pass up on the $450 enhanced trade in credit. I think THAT is who the S10 Ultra was intended for (since they just announced they're dropping security updates for the Tab S7 line). I'm gonna ENJOY this tablet.
samsung : mobile processor, android games , terrible antireflective coating , few years of support , android so basic apps appear like 720p jpegs such as google play store youtube and all other apps affects videos aswell , warm display ipad pro m4: laptop processer , custom ios triple A games , excellent antireflective coating ,longest support from apple , industry leading oled technology , ios custom software everything in high res with accurate colours i had a tab s8 ultra bare in mind before i sold it
Apple definitely slays in the tablet world. My only gripe is how bad multitasking is compared to samsung's oneUI. That is why I got a galaxy tab instead of an ipad despite being an apple user for everything else. Well, that and at the time apple didn't have oled screens. But yeah...no comparison when it comes to power, pro app availability, etc. But the galaxy tab is still more than good enough for most tablet uses, fast and smooth as butter so who cares.
Nice of Samsung to release the same tablet in 2022, 2023, and 2024 so that none of us previous gen owners feel left behind 😂
The ip rating and sd gen 2 was a big jump tbh and the oled to the base model,the bidirectional charging but this yr I cant say the same
@@zeuronplana8541 yeah I have the S9U, it just looks eerily similar to the s8 and s10

This comment really had me cracking up!
S8U to S9U is looked upon as marginal as well but it was actually quite the decent upgrade...
because
A) the 1st gen snapdragon samsung made (not tsmc) had issues which gen 2 fixed.. resulting in up to a 50% increase in speed.. vs gen 1 and fixed throttling issues, much better battery life.

I do like that analogy though...probably because I'm a carhead and fully understand what you mean
Putting Mediatek chips (that are about to be replaced in a few weeks by newer gen ones) to save on costs while completely ignoring the base model just shows that even Samsung themselves doesn’t have faith in this generation of tabs.

The Mediatek Dimensity 9300+ outperforms the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy in every aspect of the processor.

I have the tab s7+ and thinking about the s10 ultra myself. Glad to know you like it!
I went from a plain old S7 5G to a 10+ 5G. The screen size and antiglare alone makes me more than happy.

I totally agree. I love my Tab S8 Ultra. I didn’t notice an upgrade when using the Tab S10 Ultra. I’ll be returning it. And guess be using it until we have an upgrade come out LOL. But if someone first Samsung tablet, then buy the Tab S10 ultra!!!
I hate this point where we are in the tech space. The big companies are really becoming stagnant in there new releases yoy.
What do you need done that you can't with these tablets?
@NelsonGuirado its more about giving less effort while still charging top dollar these days. it hurts us consumers
Ww3 I right around the corner. The supply chain for raw materials is being constrained.
You are not supposed to upgrade your device year over year. This is for people who have an older device (tab s7 and older). No one is telling you to go out and buy this after you bought the Tab s9.
Honestly i would prefer if they added more professional apps and powerful games to the galaxy store and wait on the s10 series
I picked up the tab s10 plus. I traded in my tab s9 and don't regret it. It's blazing fast and the anti reflective display makes a big difference.
Having Issues with COD Warzone on the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra. Graphical Glitch Issue is appearing during 10mins of gameplay. Same Glitch as the S24 Ultra. Firmware issue is present here
Traded a s7 5g in for a tab s9 11inch. I'm staying right there. Have a tab s7 + so I'm good for now. Still rocking a tab s4 as well. No s10 no mediatek, maybe snapdragon again in the future.
Still happy with my reliable tab s8 don't see much need for a upgrade still
I'll keep my Tab S9 ultra for now😊
My man (in my Denzel's voice 😅)! But yea, hang onto that beast for now.
I have a Tab S9 FE 5G, Tab S9 (Wi-Fi only), and Tab S9+ (also Wi-Fi only). I don't have the Tab S9 Ultra because it's too big and too heavy for me (although recent temptations started to bother me a bit for me to purchase the Tab S9 Ultra despite the already hefty price tag).
After learning a bit more about the situations of the Tab S10 lineup, I'm gonna keep my Tab S9 tablets for much longer
@Isaac-gh5ku i have s9 ultra, but I'm gonna replace it with s10+ only because i relly need 5g and there is a really cool trade in offer
Happy with my Samsung Tab S9 Plus!! Upgrade definitely not needed (in my opinion). Many Thanks for your Honesty, Peace From London!! 🙏🙏
Nice video keep up the great work Ivan Kam
I'm still enjoying but might be thinking of upgrading from the TabS 7 Plus... Maybe this will be the year. Or maybe not. 😅
You should consider upgrading when Samsung has a good promotion.
Man your videos look so crisp!! Seems better than 4k, while it's only 1080p, I don't know what magic you use....😅
Anyway, I think the antireflective coating is nice and the 7 years of updates nobody speaks about is a nice thing too for those who do not upgrade often... But not waiting for the Snapdragon 8 gen 4 or at least the Mediatek 9400 feels like Samsung cheaping out especially at currenty prices. Also removing from the line the smaller device, the ones where the margins are the slimmest (since the internals are all the same), is another way to save money... Hopefully they won't do the same with the phones....
True, very good points for sure!
That was a good catch btw - I did indeed change my shooting settings. I now shoot in 4k, but still render and export in 1080p...more like a 1080p Premium, lol.
I appreciate you watching fam👊🏾
Great vids!!
Watching this after i just got my new 9FE lol after watching your reviews on it! I don't really need a tablet and only paid 100EUR for a new 9FE so I guess I'll just keep it for some years as i only use it for mails, notes and youtube. The new tablet looks cute though, however cant justify the price for what i use it
Hi thanks for the review ! Did you try the new CPU with moonlight to check the latency and the support of AV1 codecs?
Thanks for the review, but my life has not been the same now that I've seen a human hold an Ultra tablet one-handed with fingers gripping opposite sides! lmao
Bahahahah
This comment really got me in tears!!
🤣🤣🤣
Just upgraded my tab S8 Plus to the S10 Plus. Got a great trade in and I'm loving this tablet.
Me too.
Nice! That's a solid jump. 👍🏾
I have an S8+ as well and considering the S10+. Did you notice any difference like the screen.
Great review, thanks! I'll keep my fantastic s9 ultra for now - no hiccups whatsoever and overall just a beautiful tablet.
Very honest review and I like it！Could you do some comparisons between the S9 ultra and S10 ultra Display quality？Especially in video playback , thanks so much!
Okay understood. It's the same. Just wanted to ask as a new buyer, should i buy this one because i am not able to find S9 Ultra in the market or online in my country?
THANK YOU! Finally, an honest review. Let's not mention the elephant in the room. No regular Tab S10 11 inch? Holding on to my Tab S8. I like my small tablet. If I want something larger, I will buy a laptop
I appreciate you watching 👊🏾
Love my 12GB 256 GB S9 Tab. Didnt buy the S9+ because i preferred the smaller size
Hey man I really like your videos, thank you for your indepth analysis if the tabs. 😂My favorite video is when you put the s9 series in your pool 😅 thanks, great work, keep it up more subscribers on the way
Thank you so much for the kind words.
I appreciate you always watching
Excellent video sir! What car chase game is that?
Thanks!!
It's called The Chase.
@@IvanKam11 Thank you!
I had already seeing other youtubers doing the review, but I never miss on yours.
My advice for those who are indecisive about it would be "buy it if you don't have a tablet". They are better than the s9 but not that much so to change if you already have one tablet yourself...
You did very well on the video!!!!!
Love Samsung tablets, also love your honesty, Ivan.
Du hast so Recht mit dem was du sagst....Samsung hat sich ja schon Offiziel an seine Kunden entschuldigt das zu wenig Innovationen gekommen sind sie sagen sie wollen etwas ganz neues machen und so wieder den Anschluss bekommen ich bin gespannt Samsung😃
So happy I got the tab s9 ultra a few weeks ago. I bought it brand new sealed for £700
Nice!!!!
I want to buy a tablet for notes. (Stundent stuff) I dont own one. What you recommend? S10 plus(is in my budget, it will be ok?) ultra feels too big.
Oh no! No 11 inch model! I love my Tab S9, it works best for me and a lot of people for doing normal tablet things. I wasn't going to upgrade this gen anyway but thought I would the next gen (S11 or S20 or whatever they call it) . Is it possible they release the S10 a little later or maybe do an 11 inch model every other generation? Thanks!
It os good but ir will be never good as 14.6" tablet. Used to have tab s8ultra, sild information tab s9 .... I miss my s8ultra....
@@MrPoliarinis You're missing the point! It's not that 14.6" isn't better for some people it's that the 11" is also better for some people. They shouldn't stop making either of the sizes.
I absolutely hate that they git rid of the 11"!! It's just unbelievable to me that they would get rid of that size when we've been pressuring them and hoping they would drop and even smaller premium tablet. They decided to got the complete opposite way, 🤦🏾♂️
Why is there no comparison between the 12 gb ram model and the 16 gb ram model? Do you think 16 gb ram is worth buying?
Switched from IPad Pro. And now I’m going back. The screen was way too big. The slim keyboard case is also mediocre compared to the magic keyboard
That black color is dope tho, even if it's very marginally upgraded.
Truly the most honest review
I got the Tab S9 Ultra and have no reason to upgrade. I want an ultra with a sim card, so I don't have to hotspot when I'm away from wifi. I'd also like a keyboard case like the iPad magic keyboard case, that chages the tablet, since their book cover case already cost just as much. Give us some color variations that Pop. Add an USB C thunderbolt port, and USB C 3.2 port so I have more accessory choices. Until then, I'll just hold on to my S9 until it dies.
P.S. A folding tablet would be dope as well.
Due to members discount i could get the s10+ for the same price as the s9+ or the s9 256gb. Ordered it but then cancelled it because it didn't feel right. Think i'll go with the 11" s9 256gb. Better size, and a tablet is a long term investment so i'd rather have a qualcomm that's already proven itself than a brand new mediatek or exynos or whatever.
These minor upgrades probably older versions not for s7 to s9 and even same applies to app,e as well. Every year, upgrades are not looking for Samsung and Apple. But, minor upgrades can bring new customers older versions means s5 s6 s7 or Apple 13 14 115 versions. As a tec you should mentioned these points instead of criticised..
User from s24u, that anti reflection coat already worth the buy. Too bad they skip the normal s10 smallest profile. 😢
I feel the same way... It's just very marginal update .. That got a silent launch because there wasn't anything to brag about..
The only upgrade the screen coating and mediatek chips..
But these "improvements" are questionable..
Matte screen coating for instance have been know to dull the image and colors on screen ( ask on any TV review forum you'll see what I mean) ... I have even seen many reviewers say the S9U actually has puncher colors and looks brighter because of this...
( ignoring screen reflections of course).....
Mediatek chip although improvement over SD gen 2 is minor plus you'll lose some performance due to certain apps not being optimized for the GPU...
Very Meh.....
I remember people used to Roast the S8U vs S9U ultra for being the same but looking but it actually had a lot of upgrade... Especially compared to S10U vs S9U
Great insights for sure!
10:11...I'm rockin' the...TAB S2!!! Would I notice a difference??
frankly i was slightly dissapointed at first when i heard about them going with mediatek instead of snapdragon. in no way am i saying mediatek is bad it might not be as common to people i was just simply caught offguard because it felt like they barely did anything to it , i thought about it and still went with the deal , because im a samsung enthusiast and the deals are nice every time they release a new one and its often cheaper to just trade in your previous galaxy tab then buying the new one outright.
This was my first tablet so....I LOVE IT!!!
🔥🔥🔥
I got this tablet today and first thing I noticed, HDR not working. I’m returning this one and sticking to my Tab s9 ultra. The anti glare screen looks fine but somehow screen doesn’t look not as crisp as s9 ultra. Anyone getting this, test HDR first.
Hi sir I am from India and I want to know which is more value for money, as s9 ultra is 200-300 dollars cheaper now..
Im considering it as im still using my ipad 12.9 2nd gen 😂. Plus ive now got a s23 ultra instead of my iphone
Hey bro!
Does it worth the upgrade from my Tab S9+?
I love my S9+.
Not unless you need a larger display
Will upgrade from s7 when samsung gives Thunderbolt port, removed that ugly notch ...and latest greatest snapdragon chip
🤝🏽
🤝
I don't think todays tech was never meant to switch over to the next generation for little improvement. Or a major upgrade from the previous generation of last year tech. It's supposed to buy it if you have an outdated tech and you want something new at that time. For example, I bought the Samsung 10.1 tab A in the year 2019. Last year, I wanted a bigger screen, so I got the s8 ultra tab , which was big and an upgrade improvement from my previous tablet. I think tech has so much better technology inside of it, memory, storage , processer, etc. compared a decade ago where you need to upgrade to the next generation but not anymore. S9 series will fade out like the s8 series, etc. So in the next couple of years, it will be s11 and s12 and so on. Is to buy it now if you have an outdated tech at that time you need it. But if you don't, then don't buy it. So I,m keeping my s8 ultra tab probably won't upgrade until the s12 or s13 ultra tab then I will see an upgrade or major improvements over the s8 ultra tab. I wait until several generations to see a difference. That's my 2 cents. Lol. Ps. I'm watching this on my s8 ultra tab.
Good take, I appreciate it.
Samsung should've increased the brightness to 1750nits atleast or higher.
Bump up the battery to 15,000mAh.
It would've sold like hot cakes
1. That would REQUIRE tandem OLED screen, like the iPad.
2. That would mean they lose the thin profile, like it'd need to be 9mm+, literal tank weighing about a kilo as well...
Not viable
Samsung copied their own homework. 😂
🤣🤣🤣
I immediately cracked up reading this; why didn't I think of it and say it in the video?
Dang it! OK get ready for those 3am inspiration phone calls to resume 💪🏾
@@IvanKam11 because you didn’t consult the oracle. 🪄
Just got a used(not) S8 Ultra. I feel like I got the newest one😂 FOR 1/3 OF THE PRICE
🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾
Given this is basically a processor update, Samsung should've waited till 2025 or 2026 to release the Tab S10 series with more meaningful updates. I also don't understand the rationale behind ditching the 11" model, are they conceding to Apple here?
You act like everyone is upgrading from last year's model.
😅
Would this be a noticeable upgrade from the S8 Ultra? Would there be any benefit in upgrading?
Yes, the size alone is already major.
Ivann the 7 yrs of update is way worth it if u have an s8 or older series tbh
Good point, especially since people hang onto their tablets longer. Also, going from the Tab S8 is a solid jump for sure.
The s8 serires still have 2 more major UI updates plus 3 more years for security updates . So the s8 isn't outdated yet. I,m keeping my s8 ultra.
the oneplus pad 2/pad pro is a good option
flagship chip, 12gb/16gb ram and i got mine for 366 euros
the upgrade from my Tab S7 to my Tab S10 Ultra feels negligible tbh 🙃
Guys all Samsung should do is fine tune their products. Focus on improving the software quality the better the optimization is the better the product will be.
I own the tab S7, will the tab S10 ultra be a big upgrade?
The biggest upgrade here imo and the main reason to upgrade is the 7 years of OS updates which literally 1-ups thr ipad and also ofc the antireflective display and chipset
Am still using S8 UItra 5G.. not sure if it is worth the upgrade..
Just upgraded from samsung tab s 7+ to apple ipad pro 13 M4. Thats me sorted for the next 4 years.
At least, they don't pretend they builded this device completely new from the ground up.😂 Upgrade from last year's model is in most cases (phones, tablets, watches, etc.) not necessary.
does the Samsung Tab S10 Ultra has the same size as the Samsung TabS9 Ultra? and should i get the Samsung TabS10 Ultra or The Tab S9 Ultra?
Hi Please Help 🙏
I purchased tab s9fe wifi 6/128 2days ago I noticed it gets warm near memory card (not inserted)slot from back side😢
. I want to ask if it is normal or I should visit store for the issue.
Haven't encountered that on my end. I'd say check with Samsung and see what they say.
People are complaining because Samsung has release incremental improvements the last 3 years. So, Samsung has made improvements to their tablet every year, albeit small ones, but are selling it for the SAME price as the older UN-improved models? How dare they, lol! You're still welcome to buy the old ones at the same price if it really bothers you so much. Ain't nobody stopping you from living in the past. Go for it.
Ikr for 50 bucks extra you can get the slightly BETTER tablet AND with the black friday deal now it's exactly the same price as a regular sale of s9 ultra. I just bought mine and is so excited. Upgrading from 3rd gen ipad pro 12.9 to this beast
Guys. Galaxy tab s9 ultra vs s10 ultra, snapdragon vs dimencity. Which one should I buy? I'm not a power user. I don't really play games. Is snapdragon more reliable for a long time because it's already passed its test?
S9 ultra 512\5G has the same price as s10 ultra 256\wifi .
Yeah. But just for the new chip and that performance at the level of an M1 chip, it’s worth it. But wait until it has some big discounts soon.
True
Some people saying still good for s8 9 ultra but BEHIND they like to have the S10 Tab ULTRA LOL! Think of FUTURE UPDATES that s8 9 won't have only S10 Tab would have.
this is the most honest and sincere tech channel out there. this is seriously useful to us as consumers.
🙏🏾🙏🏾
upgraded from a Tab s9FE to a s10 plus
Nice!!!
I just ordered samsung tablet s10+ upgrading to samsung tablet s7+
This is actually a good thing. It will only make the S9 cheaper.
You right I’ve banned you.
To be honest the Galaxy Tab S series should get new models with a gap of at least 2 years, annual releases make most users not upgrade because has almost no difference in real world performance, no new games that uses that chip GPU(even getting worse performance because devs prioritize SnapD. Otimizations), no new S-pen technology, no new professional apps to use that huge screen and processing power, that's like buying a Ferrari every year to drive in a city that only 30Kmh is allowed
Why are you buying a Ferrari every year? You can buy a 2022 Ferrari and still be driveable in 2024. It's to buy it now at the time when you need it when you have outdated tech. No one is forcing you to buy the next generation every year. S line debuted in 2014, so from S1-S10. For the past 10 years. The s1 and the s2 were little updates between the two. Just like s9 and s10 now. This is nothing new; they release new technology that has existed gradually. If you have an older S line 1-7 or an older tablet, then it will have huge improvement and upgrade of the latest S8-10 at the time when you need it. In the future, it will be the s11, s12, etc.
How about upgrading from the tab s8 ultra?
No need if u don't feel the heat 8 gen1 gives
Depends on your needs; if you are undertaking heavy tasks, and need the extra power, it would be a good move.
How many years of updates are left on the s9 and s8?
Hey, i wanted to ask you if s8+ s9fe+ or s9+ would be better for a pre engineering student. Actually I am going to college in a few months and need a tab to do a lot of note taking good battery life it's mostly a study tablet but in my free time I would like to draw and watch RUclips.
Go S9+ if you can
@@IvanKam11 Thank you
Just bought 500$ refurbished tab 8 Ultra
GOURGEOUS❤
💪🏾💪🏾
So you're saying it's okay to trade my S8 Ultra "up" for the S9 Ultra? Kidding, cause I need to upgrade my phone! :)
You almost got me there! 😅
Go for your phone upgrade for now. As I mentioned in my reply to your original question, and given the way you're currently using your Tab S8Ultra, hang onto it, unless you find an unbeatable trade in deal on the S9U or S10U.
For somebody who doesn’t have one (and has not owned a Samsung tablet before) , would you guys recommend one?
Most definitely! You will be blown away by this beast.
What exactly are you expecting? I doubt you'll get banned for commenting on a slight upgrade.
Who is making the speakers this time? Can't find the info
Nah, but for real, though, you're right. Samsung IS copying Apple. And then Apple copies samsung, then Samsung copies Apple. The cycle continues. Im coming from the Tab S7+, and i couldn't pass up on the $450 enhanced trade in credit. I think THAT is who the S10 Ultra was intended for (since they just announced they're dropping security updates for the Tab S7 line). I'm gonna ENJOY this tablet.
Exactly!! Definitely a nice jump!
samsung : mobile processor, android games , terrible antireflective coating , few years of support , android so basic apps appear like 720p jpegs such as google play store youtube and all other apps affects videos aswell , warm display
ipad pro m4: laptop processer , custom ios triple A games , excellent antireflective coating ,longest support from apple , industry leading oled technology , ios custom software everything in high res with accurate colours
i had a tab s8 ultra bare in mind before i sold it
Apple definitely slays in the tablet world. My only gripe is how bad multitasking is compared to samsung's oneUI. That is why I got a galaxy tab instead of an ipad despite being an apple user for everything else. Well, that and at the time apple didn't have oled screens.
But yeah...no comparison when it comes to power, pro app availability, etc. But the galaxy tab is still more than good enough for most tablet uses, fast and smooth as butter so who cares.
