I bought it in November 2021 for 249 euros on sale. When it arrived, it had Android 10 and immediately received the upgrade to Android 11. The user experience with Android 11 was unacceptable. It constantly lagged while scrolling in many applications (Twitter, Chrome, Facebook, etc.) and even in the software menus (to a lesser extent), to the point where I avoided using the tablet. I thought about selling it since I couldn't return it, but I decided to wait for the upgrade to Android 12. With the upgrade, the user experience did improve significantly. However, I would have expected a much better user experience from a tablet priced at 300 euros (Skoutz price as of 11/21). Please note that I am not referring to demanding applications and games, which I would understand if it struggled with, but simple everyday use.

In general, the positives definitely include the battery, which personally lasts an average of 8 hours of screen-on time (SOT), the stylus that I use constantly, and the speakers. I would prefer the screen to have richer colors and definitely a higher resolution, as pixelation is noticeable. The build quality is very good, and I think the size is ideal for reading, YouTube, social media, etc.

My opinion is that this particular tablet is definitely not worth 300 euros, especially now that there are several Android tablets available. That's all I had to say, and I give it 4 stars because I bought it for 249 euros and with Android 12, it's quite good.

EDIT 2 years later that I bought it: The battery life has decreased a little more, in the beginning it lasted 2 full days on one charge, now it's somewhere around one and a half days. Everything else in the evaluation remains the same! Screen, accuracy, speakers, performance, everything.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*EDIT*: 10 months after I bought it and with continuous use for notes and multimedia, the pen's nib has worn out. In the beginning, it had something like a tiny brush in front, now it's completely worn out. I thought that once this happens, someone needs new nibs, but no! The pen has been working without them for a month now, maybe even better in terms of feel and writing. It will probably continue to work for an indefinite time, I can't find anything else that could break. The overall battery life has dropped by 10% (time-wise), which is expected. Otherwise, everything is exactly as described below!

ORIGINAL POST: Amazing! For its price (I bought it for 310 + 35 for the official case a few days later), it is more than worth it! Especially in the case of, for example, a student, a student, a professional, etc. who needs to take handwritten notes and multitask on something more portable than a laptop.
Samsung has done a great job delivering a product with many integrated features:
- Truly perfect pen (it is passive, which means it doesn't need batteries or charging, and it is extremely small and lightweight, like a pencil! In terms of accuracy, in my opinion, it writes cleaner than a precision pen on paper. It takes about a week at most to get used to it, and then you never go back to paper...
- Fast enough for multitasking (e.g. taking notes on One Note while watching a video on YouTube or Netflix, and playing music in the background), it has never lagged (and it's always responsive!). It definitely doesn't work for demanding games though, there will be lags.
- Its speakers are excellent, in a quiet room it can easily replace laptop speakers, maybe even small desktop ones. The quality is satisfactory, especially for a portable device!
- The battery has lasted me 2 hours in a lecture, at 12%. In general, it has never let me down, I use it for 3-4 hours a day for notes and multimedia, and I charge it every 4 days. With almost continuous use, I have tested it and it lasts about two days (20-25 hours of operation).
- Integrated smart features for the pen, such as: text translation (live on the screen, even if the text is in an image), smart selection (like a screenshot that someone can keep on the screen as a note for later), and writing on the screen, e.g. to show something to someone. There are several more, but I don't use them as much.
As for the negatives, I would say:
- Charging takes a long time, about 4 to 5 hours with the stock charger.
- Replacement pen nibs are not included, something that may be needed after 1-2 years of use. However, they are quite cheap online (for example, currently $5 for 5 on a foreign website).
- The official case I use is slightly expensive, around 30 to 40 euros. However, there are reliable cases available for under 20 euros.
Overall, if you want something similar to my use case (student, taking a lot of notes, using multimedia a lot), it is incredibly worth it. In many schools, it could possibly replace a laptop. I am writing this review 4 months after I started using it, and I continue to be completely satisfied.

Very good for its price. I have been using it for a month now for university (notes, zoom, and word) and for movies (Netflix, YouTube) and it hasn't caused me any problems. It's not the fastest tablet when multitasking (usually three windows) for a long time (3+ hours), but still not bothersome for 4GB RAM. I highly recommend it, the price is very good for its features. Also, it includes the S pen which alone costs around 40 euros, and none of the other tablets I saw at this price and with these features include a stylus. The stylus is also precise and it's very easy to write notes by hand. It doesn't have palm rejection, but the Samsung Notes app has a relevant setting and it doesn't create major issues apart from a couple of stray pencil marks here and there. It's a bit heavy if you put a case on it, but manageable. The charger it comes with is a bit slow. The speakers are very good and the battery lasts quite a while (I charge it every two days with heavy daily use). The memory can be expanded.

I have had it in my possession for 1 week with a lot of use during that time. The purpose of purchasing it was for browsing, social media use, video calls, light gaming, and possibly some image editing using Lightroom.

For the above reasons, the tablet is very satisfactory! Its screen, although not AMOLED, is very good with vibrant colors, satisfactory blacks (not at the level of AMOLED), and good brightness. It is quite fast in usage and has not frozen once so far, and the S-Pen is very helpful as I personally use it quite a lot. The battery is quite good for me. With a lot of use, it can last for 1.5 days, but it can also last for 2-3 days with less usage.

The speakers and overall sound quality are EXCELLENT. Very good dual speakers with the ability to activate Dolby Atmos from the settings. It also has a headphone jack, which is definitely positive if you want to watch a movie/series or watch a video at night. Also, as a positive, the fact that you can insert a microSD card is very useful for additional space for images, videos, files, or even music. I have not tested the tablet with heavy games as I am not a fan of mobile gaming, but it is satisfactory for light gaming without any lag.

I will mention some advantages - details that may be useful for someone in their choice.
- There is the ability to write with the pen on the screen while it is off, erase a note, and save it in the notes.
- The sound (again) is excellent, and if you want to watch your series, you will enjoy it 100%.
- The battery is very good and definitely lasts for a full day with heavy usage, charging from 10% to 100% in about 3 hours and 45 minutes.

In its category, it is possibly the best due to the price-quality ratio of the product. As for the negatives of this specific tablet, I believe it is subjective and depends on the way it is used or the needs of each individual. It is very likely not suitable for use by professionals as a laptop replacement. In this case, choosing another tablet may be a better solution. However, if you have the same needs and intend to use it the same way as I do, then I highly recommend it without hesitation.

Initially, the tablet is generally very good in terms of its price. It comes with the SPen (which you never need to charge as Wacom has taken care of the screen). Its battery is much better than I expected (I watch YouTube, sketch, and play games and only need to charge every 2 days). The speaker is loud but lacks a bit in quality, in my opinion. The multitasking is great, perfect. For me, the Samsung Notes is definitely worth it. It is also perfect for reading a PDF because you can make notes, write, underline, and it is very helpful. The camera is great for zooming, I don't think anyone needs anything more. The 3-4 games I downloaded played perfectly.

The only negative is that because I work with Adobe Photoshop (and send some files to the tablet for editing), it may open low-quality files with medium quality, otherwise when you try to open a high-quality JPEG, it crashes. For example, even if you download Clip Studio Paint, if you try to do something with high DPI, it can't handle it and closes the application. Also, be careful when buying a case, it's better if it doesn't have a magnet on the back because the screen doesn't respond in those areas.

(I didn't go for the s5e simply because I needed the SPen for my work)

Update: I worked quite a bit with the pen on Sketchbook with lower resolution drawings, it was quite easy. Clip Studio Paint continued to freeze and not open files with good quality. Also, something I didn't like much, the tip of the SPen eventually wears out and Samsung doesn't produce the same replacements, but for the past six months, I haven't used paper and a pen, and my notes have never been better. Overall, I would say it's definitely worth the money now
