      Surprisingly reviews said the 10.1 with 2GB RAM run much smoother than 10.5 with 3GB RAM, thanks to newer OS (Pie) and better SoC (Exynos 7904 vs SD 450).

      • [Deactivated] on 17/06/2019 - 07:33

        Just an old iPad at the moment, until I work out what I want.
        I might go for the S5e as it’s ~$530 at the Samsung Edu shop. But I’m still not convinced.

        It was a forced retirement, it keeps powering off. I re-flashed it & I can’t even complete the setup :-(

        • pancaeks on 17/06/2019 - 07:36

          Yeah mine will be a forced retirement too… I only use the thing for reddit and youtube and it's still trying to kill itself :(
          The S5e sounds like a decent option but I heard the S5 might be released in a few months?

        • Homr on 17/06/2019 - 12:48

          My mum's tab S is heading towards retirement, the battery won't hold

          Looking and waiting patiently for a replacement for a decent price. The s5e seems like an ideal replacement but I'm worried about the wifi issue.

        • lomo on 17/06/2019 - 16:01

          I'm thinking of getting the S5e as its so light and thin. only downsides are theres no headphone jack and apparently your hand shields the wifi antenna on the top left when in landscape mode. havent had chance to try in shop yet to see how bad this really is

    • [Deactivated] on 16/06/2019 - 23:05

      Galaxy Tab S 10.5 was about $599 when it was launched in Australia. You should compare it with it with Galaxy Tab S5E or the upcoming S5.

      • GregMonarch on 16/06/2019 - 23:33

        Or drop Samsung entirely. Apart from the RAM and four year old specs, here's some other Samsung 'gems'… Copying apple by dropping the headphone socket when so many apple users complain about losing it; dropping Android for Windows 10 [gag!]; no 12" model while apple are obviously selling the ipad pro… Samsung's marketing AND R&D departments have lose the plot.

          Both Exynos 7904 (Tab A) and SD 670 (S5E) were released in this year. They aren't hardly 'four year old specs' and I am pretty sure LDDR4 wasn't around here 4 years ago either. Plus, Tab A has kept the headphone jack unlike so many Chinese brands, which makes this deal even sweater.

          • GregMonarch on 16/06/2019 - 23:52

            @[Deactivated]:

              @GregMonarch: Those others were comparing a old high-end to a new budget model. You really need to either compare like for like or accept that getting the cheap model means you get "last gen"'s specs.

          • GregMonarch on 16/06/2019 - 23:54

            @[Deactivated]: Oh - and I was referring to changes to various models they've released - not necessarily only this one (as the Win 10 and 12" points illustrate).

      • [Deactivated] on 17/06/2019 - 07:58

        I only paid $490, which is about what this was when it was released.

        But my point was the 2gb of ram is pretty underwhelming, even for an entry level device in 2019, especially when you consider the mid-level 5yrs ago was 3gb.

        Of course if there wasn’t the large amount of bloatware Samsung attach, it mightn’t be so bad.

    • too_much_boost on 17/06/2019 - 08:21

      I still use my tab s as a daily media consumption device. Its a shame samsung don't support OS updates as the hardware in the original tab s is still very good, even by today's standards

      • overcoat on 17/06/2019 - 09:02

        If you own a Samsung device, look at all the default apps you can’t remove.
        You can disable, but they all get re-enable with the next update. Rooting & removing, or flashing with vanilla Android makes a big difference.

    I don't understand people complaining about RAM, especially those who have a Tab S tablet. This is Tab 'A'. A cheaper tablet. You should compare your S tablet with its direct successors such as S4 or even S5E.

    People choose a tablet based on their needs and budget.

    Tab A comes with a decent SoC (7904) and 2 year Australian warranty. It is good enough for many of us.
    And Come on guys, Lenovo is selling their Android tablet for $449 with 4gb RAM. However, it is slower than almost $200 cheaper Tab A 2019 because of its SoC (SD450). For those who don't want to gamble with imported Chinese tablets and just want to buy a tablet from Australian retailers for various reasons, there aren't many cheaper and decent alternatives.

    Plus, there is a 3GB RAM variant with 128gb internal memory available through TGG ebay store.

    • [Deactivated] on 17/06/2019 - 08:14

      Don’t get too excited. I’m just pointing out how underwhelming 2gb of ram is and that a mid-level 5yo tablet came with more. SO one would expect an entry level device 5yrs on would have at least the same.

      It’s like getting a windows device with 4gb ram. Sure it’ll run, but you might regret it in a year when it’s running slow. This is a great kids tablet (I’ve got a nearly 4yr 2gb TabA (t530) for one of my kids and it generally works well for them.

      The big plus for this is its sub $300, so you can write it off on your tax next month.

    I got this Tablet with a Telstra bundle a few months back. While it obviously comes with a bit of their bloatware, its a pretty good tablet. I'd recommend for browsing and movies. Great for the kids, although as many others are saying, its not going to be amazing.

      How much RAM do you need to watch YouTube/Netflix and read your emails?

      Entry-level tablets like these weren't designed to be multitasking powerhouses like much more expensive tablets. They're for light use, and they do that job fine.

  • Austaurean on 17/06/2019 - 08:35

    My old Telstra branded 2012 Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 - 4G model is still going ok, slow, but ok..
    It seems as soon as the system update came out it killed it,
    like all updates it seems best to wait for user reports of what people do or don't like before updating…

    I would love to go back to the original software as it operated much quicker, no experience with flashing etc,
    and for the variant required on sammobile, you have to be a paid member unlike some of the other software.
    Usually 15 euro, but currently on special at 8.50 euro

    • Edwardrw on 17/06/2019 - 09:35

      if you go back to the original software, some apps might not work.

      • Austaurean on 17/06/2019 - 12:14

        Yes, so very true, but if it makes it more useable, then might be worth it, quite a few apps already dont work with it due to its age and android version.

  • Edwardrw on 17/06/2019 - 09:33

    It all depends on your purpose with a tablet.

    I had Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 which has better specifications than this. However, I replaced it to this model 3 weeks ago as 8.0 inch was a bit small.
    I was considering other tablets such as IPad 6 gen or Lenovo.

    The reason why I use a tablet is mainly for reading PDF files and watching Netflix or YouTube. I do not play games on a tablet or a mobile phone as I've got PS4 and Nintendo. It's got a perfect ratio to watch movies. So, this tablet was chosen among other options.

    No complaints with this tablet so far.

    I had the Samsung Tab A 2016, now I have the Tab S4, both tablets are great. A lot of people here complaining about the RAM on these Samsung devices.
    I've never had any RAM issues with either of these devices, nor have my child who plays games and uses drawing/painting apps.
    I'm not sure what people are doing to their tablets that are causing them so much RAM grief, but I/we have never had any issues.
    I'm considering buying this or the Tab A 2018 for my child to use. Samsung seems to have shown reluctant interest in introducing Android updates lately.
    My only complaint is the bloatware they install.

            Do keep in mind you're comparing running the same game on an entry-level tablet running on processor that's designed to use as little power as possible to a full-blown desktop CPU with no power budget that can happily draw 100 watts if it feels like it.

              The entry level tablet likely draws similar wattage to the higher end tablet so this is completely irrelevant and may even use the same battery. My phone draws even less and plays Fortnite fine.

              And none of that is relevant to my response which was to the question of what you'd need more for.

                His post had many sentences. Your five-word reply would have different meanings depending on which sentence you're replying to. Only you know which specific sentence you were replying to - that is why people normally quote the specific line they're replying to.

                e.g. it could be read this way:

                He said (and this is the gist of it):

                A lot of people here complaining about the RAM on these Samsung devices.

                You said:

                No 4GB memory = No Fortnite

                If you went out and bought the cheapest HP desktop you could find, and your game runs terribly or not at all, would you blame HP or yourself for buying something blindly?

                I answered his question. Nothing more.

                Incidentally, he never actually asked a question.

                The entry level tablet likely draws similar wattage to the higher end tablet so this is completely irrelevant

                "Irrelevant" would be comparing a desktop computer with a desktop-class processor and GPU to an entry-level tablet with a mobile processor designed to sip power from a battery.

                And none of that is relevant to my response which was to the question of what you'd need more for.

                And going back to my point - if you quoted what you were responding to, your response would have made sense.

                Interestingly though, if you read through all the complaints about RAM, everyone seems more concerned about how smoothly the tablet runs on 2GB than being able to run Fortnite. Nobody else has mentioned Fortnite.

                  His post had many sentences.

                  I count 7. Which is a lot fewer than you just wrote. 7 is too many for you and 1 is too few. Perhaps you should consider changing your user name to goldilocks.

                  Incidentally, he never actually asked a question.

                  "I'm not sure what people are doing to their tablets that are causing them so much RAM grief, but I/we have never had any issues." may not have been phrased as a question, but anyone that bothered to actually read what I was replying to wouldn't be questioning what I was replying to.

                  Seriously, get over yourself. People aren't here to cater to you specifically. Someone else might complain that you quote too much, and might have complained if I had quoted. People aren't going to write messages the way you want them too. They aren't copies of you behind a keyboard. If you interact with people online it is obnoxious to go around telling them how they should word things just so that it is to your liking.

                  "Irrelevant" would be comparing a desktop computer with a desktop-class processor and GPU to an entry-level tablet with a mobile processor designed to sip power from a battery.

                  You made that relevant the moment you said "That's like saying a cheap desktop cannot play triple-A titles" because an old entry level piece of PC gear is playing the game we are discussing. Fortnite's requirements aren't particularly high. Is the problem that I did not quote that sentence for you? Did I need to remind you of what you'd just said? Do you have a problem with memory that I should be aware of? Or perhaps with comprehension since you seem to be unable to relate a response to a piece of the text that is being responded to. I'm not just being flippant. I'm serious.

                  Otherwise I don't have any idea if you're trolling or if you seriously interact with people this way regularly but you sound really high maintenance.

                  Nobody else has mentioned Fortnite.

                  Which is why my 1 line response was contributing something new. Fortnite, in case you're living under a rock, is (or has recently been) an extremely popular game, especially with kids.

                    @syousef:

                    I count 7. Which is a lot fewer than you just wrote.

                    Nice dodge.

                    People aren't going to write messages the way you want them too.

                    Sure. And looking at your initial 5-word reply with no context, people aren't going to read your posts the way you want them to.

                    You made that relevant the moment you said "That's like saying a cheap desktop cannot play triple-A titles" because an old entry level piece of PC gear is playing the game we are discussing.

                    Right, I see the source of confusion there - you think Fortnite is a triple-A title while I don't consider it to be one. The definition can be fluid so I should have been clearer on that - I meant classic AAA games like PUBG, Apex Legends, GTA, and CoD where you need a beefy computer to have a good gaming experience.

                    Fortnite doesn't have high system requirements for a desktop compared to classic AAA games, so it's not surprising that it runs on a 5-year old computer.

                    Perhaps you should consider changing your user name to goldilocks.
                    Otherwise I don't have any idea if you're trolling or if you seriously interact with people this way regularly but you sound really high maintenance.

                    It's a pity you had to resort to personal insults. Discussions can be held without having to resort to childish tactics.

                    Which is why my 1 line response was contributing something new.

                    OK, that's one way to look at it. The other way is that people aren't really buying entry-level tablets to play high-requirement (for a mobile device) games.

                      @eug:

                      Nice dodge.

                      Dude, you're annoyed if I'm too brief, yet you won't read 7 lines of text.

                      people aren't going to read your posts the way you want them to.

                      That's right. You can choose to be a jerk to me, and I have no control over that. But I am going to point it out.

                      Right, I see the source of confusion there - you think Fortnite is a triple-A

                      So you complain about my reply being irrelevant when I bring up Fortnite and your response is about triple A games on PC?

                      Now you're trying to clarify that Fortnite is not a triple A game? Then why did you bring it up? Your entire response was clearly based on the premise that Fortnite was not meant to run on low end equipment and that I was foolish to expect it to.

                      I said

                      No 4GB memory = No Fortnite

                      You replied

                      That's like saying a cheap desktop cannot play triple-A titles.
                      People buying cheap entry-level tablets wouldn't … or shouldn't be expecting to play high-requirement games on them.

                      There's nothing confusing here. Your implication here was clear. To recap:
                      - You brought up PCs then complained that I brought them up.
                      - You said I shouldn't expect Fortnite to run on lower end hardware and when I gave an example of it doing that, you called it irrelevant.
                      - Each time I show you how unreasonable you're being you shift the goal posts and revise what you've said, while calling my direct responses irrelevant.

                      It's a pity you had to resort to personal insults. Discussions can be held without having to resort to childish tactics.

                      So is your standard tactic to frustrate anyone arguing with you by gaslighting them and then accusing them of "childish attacks" when they respond? "Goldilocks" wasn't exactly a tirade of name calling, and as far as I'm concerned you absolutely deserved it.

                      I have to assume that you're trolling at this point.

                        Evidently you do not see that the 7 lines of text has more than just one sentence in it. Your five-word reply did not include a quote to show what exactly you were replying to, so it looked like simply a reply to the gist of the post.

                        That's right. You can choose to be a jerk to me, and I have no control over that. But I am going to point it out.

                        Once again, discussions can be had without resorting to childish insults.

                        So you complain about my reply being irrelevant when I bring up Fortnite and your response is about triple A games on PC?

                        It is called an analogy. Note how the sentence starts with "that's like". "That's like saying a cheap desktop cannot play triple A titles."

                        i.e. saying an entry-level tablet cannot play Fortnite is like saying a cheap desktop cannot play triple A titles. It's not something that would be unexpected.

                        You then said your daughter can play Fortnite on a five-year old PC. Fortnite is not a classic triple A title which typically have higher system requirements - so it was not relevant to what I said. I never said you cannot play Fortnite on an old desktop PC - I said you cannot play triple A titles on a cheap (i.e. slow/low-spec) PC.

                        So is your standard tactic to frustrate anyone arguing with you by gaslighting them and then accusing them of "childish attacks" when they respond? "Goldilocks" wasn't exactly a tirade of name calling, and as far as I'm concerned you absolutely deserved it.

                        Childish attacks involve resorting to personal insults. Discussions can be held without having to go down to that level.

                        The crux of this discussion is that you do not agree that there is a possibility that your initial five-word response with no quoted context can be read many different ways. That is it. As long as you're of that opinion, this will go nowhere. So be it then.

                          I am not an English teacher and can't help you learn comprehension. You just won't admit that you didn't bother to read the context of my message before replying. Not my problem.

                          Once again, discussions can be had without resorting to childish insults.

                          There is nothing childish about calling you out for being a jerk towards me.

                          It is called an analogy.

                          Condescending too.

                          I see that when I say something about PCs it's "irrelevant" but if you wax lyrical with your analogies that's perfectly fine right? Unreasonable.

                          It's not something that would be unexpected.

                          I'm amazed at how much I'm suppose to infer from your replies, yet from me you demand absolute precision to the point of quoting exactly lines I'm replying to. You are being unreasonable.

                          Childish attacks involve resorting to personal insults. Discussions can be held without having to go down to that level.

                          All I can say is that you are either very easily offended or easily claim to be offended.

                          If you're so deeply wounded by someone mockingly suggesting you change your name to goldilocks, perhaps the Internet is not for you, eh? If you're going to be unreasonable expect to be called out on it.

                          And on and on it goes. Just be adult about it and admit you didn't bother to read the conversation you were replying to properly for goodness sake. Or don't. I don't care anymore. I'm completely bored with you.

                              The context was 7 lines of text above that you couldn't be bothered reading.

                              I did. You just do not agree that your five-word contextless reply…

                              My patience is running out. The context was above it. You couldn't be bothered with the context. You couldn't be bothered asking for clarification. If there was so little context, why did you not seek clarification before commenting? Is that my fault too?

                                Yes, because it was in response to your original reply.
                                Your followup was not an analogy. It was an example to counter my analogy, but it was inaccurate.

                                The context was 7 lines of text above that you couldn't be bothered reading.

                                As I said earlier, your short reply can mean different things depending on which particular sentence you're replying to. Not providing that context leaves it up to the reader to decide.

                                I could, but this discussion seems to have riled you up a lot more than me, judging from the angry tone of your responses. Life is too short for arguments online, so simply blocking me would save us both some time.
