First time posting a deal, so please be gentle.

Been looking to pickup a Tab since a couple of months, and missed out on the Samsung EPP deal of 35% off.

Today, I found the tab on Bing Lee for $799. Just called up OW, and managed to get a PB down to $759.

Only Blue colour available, but with a cover on, I dont think it should matter.

A good deal for somebody who's currently looking for a good Tab and isn't locked into the Apple ecosystem.

            @rumchaser: Because the 5 was spec'd like a mid-ranger, the 4 was more powerful.

          No it won't. They will just charge a higher premium for the S7 and S7+. Then once the initial early adopters have brought, prices will start to drop for both. They're not interested in slashing prices on the S6.

        Absolutely android offers more 'bang for buck' compared to apples inflated prices.

        But Apple will last you longer, for example their 2014 iPad air is still getting the latest ios updates as well as not depreciating as quick as Android. Some will argue this balances the price difference between Android and Apple.

        But yes apple is for average users. Not for those that want to tinker.

          imo, reasons why android devices drop in price

          1) 2 year software update and 3 years security vs 5+ years software and security update from iOS = last longer = price decrease less over time

          2) Manufacturers drop price of their devices

        • [Deactivated] on 04/08/2020 - 19:28

          Android doesn't offer more bang for your buck, I've owned 3 iPhones and 3 Android phones (pixels). All except one (the one I'm currently using) have kicked the bucket (bootloop issues) and their battery degraded significantly over time. My current pixel I've had for just over a year and I can tell the battery has dropped significantly. All my iPhones still work with great speed, battery life and are still being used daily. They were all bought before my first Android. Newest iPhone (6s) just got it's last update I think and it's still comparable in almost every way except camera to my pixel (3xl) which has lots of lag and bugs.

          I've gotten way more bang for my buck with iPhones than with Google's and they've had more than enough tries to get a phone right given their company size, resources and number of attempts.

    • C0mbat on 04/08/2020 - 18:15

      Ecosystem is important when you're taking about tablets because Android is pretty bad with them.

        • Tardvark on 07/08/2020 - 15:39

          If you're buying a Samsung phone or tablet then you're paying as much as you are for an Apple product. Samsung is not a budget alternative an Apple.

      • RobBoss on 08/08/2020 - 10:35

        Owning both android and ios/ipados devices, I hate how Apple is just now trying to implement basic features such as a non-intrusive incoming call notification, etc. Instead of focusing on adding emojis, adding wallpaper to safari (cant believe this is a highlighted feature), AR (useful in limited settings), they should really improve on features which people use on a daily basics.

    • giventofly on 04/08/2020 - 20:19

      Agreed, but Apple somehow manages to make me feel technologically illiterate with their think different ways.

      Very true, iPad is an extraordinary product. Love my Pixel 4 XL and just grabbed one of these to try out from that Qantas Samsung 20% + 15% Discount stack yesterday.

      I have a Mac and an iPad and like them, but using Apple it’s “my way or the highway” compared to the versatility of windows and android.
      I also find Apple gear incredibly obtuse to support/fix as the online forums are full of noisy users with no clue recommending you take it back to the Genius Bar.

    I don't understand why everyone sh!77ing on Android tablets, I have a Samsung Tab S3 (refresh), the battery is still great, it still runs all my apps, it does everything my android phone does? I have it rooted but essentially for the sole purpose of YouTube without Ads.

    I can't imagine anyreason why to upgrade, it plays hevc.10bit, I think that is the most important thing to look at in a tablet now.

    • Whisper Quiet on 04/08/2020 - 19:21
      +2

      Yeah I think it's more that people haven't used the top end Android tablets. I'm only just starting to see a slight drop in battery usage now for my S4. Otherwise everything is pretty much perfect. No freezing or software issues no matter what content. OLED screen with no burn in. Complete freedom to download or get anything for free will always be Android's saviour compared to Apple. Although I've had an iPad and they are good for what they are but no way am I going to be limited to whatever Apple wants.

      • ultramic on 04/08/2020 - 19:39

        Sold my S6 from the binglee deal last year and picked up a second hand S4. I mainly use it for email, web, and media and don't notice any difference to the S6. The S4 even handles my 4k rips with no problems plus it just received the android 10 update.

        • Whisper Quiet on 05/08/2020 - 07:44

          There's almost no difference. That's why the S4 was so popular when the S6 came out, it was half the cost of it as a standard price. S4 even has a slightly larger battery. Samsung really screwed up with the "upgrade" I guess it's the same with their phones. Add a fraction more RAM and one feature to market the hell out of, then people go crazy for a new model.

      You don't need to root to get youtube without ads.

      On a Samsung, root access will break knox on new devices, you will lose features permanently. Not worth it anymore

    I won't use Apple because they don't have a file system where you can upload and download files (pictures, videos and documents). I have tried before and it was so painful. Apple won't change as it lock their users to their ecosystem.

    • Agret on 04/08/2020 - 20:20

      There is now but for best compatibility you need to do it through iCloud Drive which means paying Apple for your storage

      I manage my files without any issues. In fact I can plug a USB drive into my iPad, transfer my movie fils across and then play them in VLC. I also use my iPad to create/edit business reports for submission to upper management. I also RDP into a Azure VM instance running a copy of Windows and Kali for things I need to do remotely.

      I admit that Apple devices were somewhat constrained previously, but they’ve changed substantially now.

    • auna on 05/08/2020 - 02:35

  • markb28 on 04/08/2020 - 20:52

    I've had this tab for a couple of months, it's great if you want the best Android tablet available. I also have a note 10 so the experience is quite similar. Amazing screen and performance and great for content as you can easily sideload HBO Max, Sling, iPlayer, for a worldwide streaming experience. I also use mine for classic game emulation and my PS4 controller works perfectly. Never been a fan of iOS, however if you are are a gamer of downloaded titles and use standard apps, an iPad would probably be a better choice - Apples shows their tablets a lot of (walled garden) love.

  • pacificstorm on 05/08/2020 - 00:03

    I'm still using the Galaxy Tab S and it's been great even after all this time. The S6 sure is quite expensive and this is suppose to be on special? Boy, I'm dreading to find out how much the S7 would be once it comes out.

    Can anyone comment on whether 6GB of RAM is enough at this resolution? We bought my wife a surface pro 4 with i5 + 4GB of RAM and honestly have huge regrets because running Firefox / Chrome & running Adobe InDesign causes it to constantly pause as you're waiting for RAM to swap.

    Still using my S2 9.7 2016 edition. Paid $338. Apart from the battery not lasting as long as it use to and last Android update was 7.0 Nougat its no real impediment.
    Would never pay more than $500 for a tablet but would not get the A series either. If they released a S6e edition better spec than S6 lite then that might be within budget.
