General Galaxy Tab comparison - Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)

I hope the mods don't find this off topic. I have several Galaxy Tabs and thought a comparison of the different models might be helpful. I ran the same benchmark test on an A8, S7 FE and a S7. The A8 scored 745, the S7 FE 2400 and the S7 4200. But what does this mean in practical terms? To me the A8 performance is fine for everyday "on the go" use. But it strains with games and video streaming. The animation in the benchmark test was "jerky" and watching IPTV has a lot of buffering. The S7 FE has neither of these problems. The only practical differences with the S7 and S7 FE is the FE has a 12.4 inch screen and the S7 is only 11". But the video quality on the S7 is noticeably better. If you are a serious gamer, the S7 is the obvious choice.

how would tab s2 compare to nexus 9?

hi
currently i have nexus 9 tablet and it sucks big time, its so slow that is unbearable...i would like to know how would this 9.7inch exynos tab s2 compare in speed? and smoothness? i was thinking of getting something a bit usable you know...anyone who had nexus 9 could compare? thanks
it's much better i upgraded from a n9 and it's night and day difference. the biggest things are better quality screen, much smaller/lighter and no lagging. i have the s2 8" exynos stock rom btw.
I swapped it for the t813. Everything is better except the sound.
I also came from the Nexus 9 and the experience is significantly better. :highfive:
If the Nexus 9 has nothing in RAM, it is faster than the Tab S2 due to that Nvidia chip. However, in real world use, the tab S2's speed is always consistent whereas the N9's speed is a total joke as it runs out of RAM. :crying:
Everything with respect to build is in a different league on the tab S2, screen, weight, etc. :victory:
Just take the plunge, you'll not look back I promise. :angel:

Very important news about this phone!

Please don’t delete this topic it’s fair warning!
I hate to be right sometimes but as I told long ago after years of testing it turns out that the best camera of Samsung was in S6 / S6Edge+. Test it yourself. Hold S6 in one hand and for example S8 in the other and take a photo in good light. Then zoom it on the phone and you will see that S6 has better details, no artificial brightener while for example S8 has it.
S6 has 16 Mpix and all flagships that came after had 12 Mpix rear camera.
I’ve tested S6 Edge Plus vs. S7 / S8 / S8+, Note8, S9, S9+ and…
only S9+ finally beat S6. (look how Samsung did bad for us from Sep2015 till March2018)
I wish I had NOT sale my S6 and bought a newer one
If You don't believe me? Ask XDA members who has S6 and a later Galaxy S model (but not S9+)
This is a Warning for You don't sell your S6!!!! or sell only if you can afford to buy S9+.
I did the wrong thing so I Warn you no to make the same mistake that I did

Overall speed

Would you say that the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is "fast" in day-to-day use? A higher rating indicates that you think the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra exhibits fantastic performance. Like, is it as fast as your tears when you watch The Titanic?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
It does feel very fast in overall speed. I think this is due to the 5G and 120hz display. Some app used to hang for a couple seconds waiting on data, but with increased download speed there is no waiting.
After a few hours I returned the Note 20 Ultra, compared it side to side with my OnePlus 8 Pro and it just disappointed me. The exynos is constantly being outperformed by the Qualcomm 865 in my OnePlus device.
Really a shame because I loved the design and really wanted to jump back on the Samsung train.
I know everyone's case is different. I've upgraded from a Note 10+ 512GB ATT snapdragon version to the same ATT equivalent of Note 20 ultra 512GB and I have to be honest. I don't even game and I feel a significant difference in speed in everyday tasks. Everything loads noticeably faster, finger print scanner is faster, 120hz refresh rate is noticeably faster. My sign ins into my banking and other apps is faster. I feel like it gets better reception and the stereo speakers are louder and clearer. The screen is insanely bright. If I feel this difference coming from a relatively new flagship I don't understand the ppl that aren't that impressed coming from the likes of a Note 8, which to be fair I've also had. While the likes of a Note 8 was incredible relative to when it came out now making the comparison between the two devices is like comparing iPhone 11 pro to the iPhone 6s max

Well....
5G T-Mobile is definitely faster than when I bought the S20 Ultra.
The movement within the app is lightning fast...either with adaptive Motion or with WQHD (all animations at "0" in Development Settings). Honestly I don't notice that much difference between those two although there is one.
Ridiculous speed. Literally could not be faster. Between 120Hz, insane processor, and some animation tweaks... Wowzers. Mind = blown.
Flawless! But demoted 1 atar since I know Samsung is holding back some other areas by using the same 990 exynos that S20 models had.
3D Mark benchmark
I received my Ultra yesterday. SnapD HK version.
3D marked it. Attached results here.
Nice, from wondamobile?

Note 20 ultra is only slightly better than the Note 10+ in pretty much ever way but significantly much better when it comes to reception. I have solid reception in places where the Note 10+ had zero cell coverage. Also the phone call clarity and loudness is significantly better on the 20 ultra.
Does anybody own OnePlus 8 Pro and Note 20 Ultra? I am curious how the everyday use of these 2 devices compare? Is Note considerably slower?

I had the Note 20 Ultra ( Exynos ) for one day besides the OnePlus 8 Pro. Don't get me wrong I stepped away from Samsung after many years, had most S and Note series but felt I missed out due to the Exynos CPU and missed the S-Pen.
When the OnePlus 8 Pro got announced I decided to give it a go and so far I'm very impressed. However I do miss the S-Pen and the overall video quality from Samsung. My Note 9 delivers better video and specially audio quality.
I wanted to cross back to Samsung and Pre-ordered the Note 20 Ultra.
After a day of use I returned the Note because it actually felt a step back instead of forward. The Exynos doesn't deliver anywhere close to the SD865. The overall smoothness and scrolling feel is not as smooth and display wasn't ( for me ) as crisp as the one in the OP8Pro.
An example is the Note 20 Ultra stutters when scrolling through Gmail / FB / Chrome while the OP8Pro scrolls smoothly.
Also the speaker output wasn't what I expected, my Note 9 even sounds better. Delivering a deeper sound quality.
For now ( besides the S-Pen ) I would choose the OP8Pro over the Note 20 Ultra. BUT I'm sure this all comes down to the Exynos vs Snapdragon CPU.
I'm actually thinking about importing a Note 20 Ultra to get a Qualcomm version.

Thanks, for feedback. And the camera performance versus op8 pro ? (I compared to my other phone p40 pro, and less quality than)

Camera on the Note 20 Ultra Exynos felt better but to be honest I didn't get the chance to test video ( or better audio quality on recorded videos ) shooting videos of live music.

Thanks, for the feedback, i think to op8pro still lower quality like flagships.

I also think you're right but Samsung flagships in Exynos region don't feel like they can too the Qualcomm devices. It just doesn't feel as smooth. Also the Note 20 Ultra I had seemed to lag compared to the OP8Pro.
On the camera side the OP8Pro doesn't stand a chance , even videos recorded on my Note 9 have better audio quality.
Still I have to say the Note 20 Ultra didn't feel as premium as I expected. Speakers don't sound that premium, display doesn't look that premium and if I add that to the battery ( didn't get the chance to test it myself ) or the lack of it based on reviews I'd say the Note 20 Ultra ( Exynos variant ) isn't that premium at all. At least not for the introduction price.
Man I'm starting to sound like a Sammy hater.......however I'm still a fan. Just hoping they will deliver in the future.
Compared to note 10 plus this phone is better in every way. Virtually no lags. I was very skeptical about 120 hz, I was pretty sure I won't feel any difference... and I was so wrong! It's night and day difference! Probably the only thing that did not change for me is the battery life.. 5-6 hours SOT...
In developer settings, I changed the animation settings from 1.0 to 0.5 after using my Note 20 Ultra for a week and this thing really flies now. Much faster than my old Note9 I traded in (which also had the animation settings lowered)
Performance is good (not game) but warm

Interested in purchasing S20 FE, but I have my doubts

Hi community,
I am interested in buying this phone, but I put it next to A72 and tested the camera. I have visited numerous shops to test these out.
These are the main things that bother me:
I found that the screen on the S20 FE is more on the blue-ish side and more dimmer than the A72. Basically, the white on the S20 FE are cold.
The main camera of S20 FE is not as sharp as the A72. I think the S20 FE camera is similar in result as the S21+, but I prefer the result of A72 put side by side.
What do you think?
It depends what matters most to you. Here's a comparison:
Compare Samsung Galaxy A72 vs. Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G - GSMArena.com
www.gsmarena.com
The S20 will be a little bit faster, the camera experiences will be similar, and the A72 will have better battery.
If you're on a budget, get whichever is less money because both are really solid at the end of the day. If you don't care about price, the S20 FE is better all around.
avoid the version that has the Exynos SoC if you do decide to get the FE

I do agree that the FE is faster etc, but do you notice the same difference in panels?

Roughly they are the same price, but I may prefer the A72 based on the display panel... From my view the 4-5 FE I tried had the same "dull" panel. Possibly they changed the manufacturer or have a newer display?

They are "similar" phones but I would say if you prefer the A72 because of the panel then get that one - of course when you have the device you won't be holding them side by side and any difference is quickly forgotten. The A72 has a 3.5mm headphone post which is great. However the reason I picked up a S20 FE 5g was wireless charging but mainly DeX - using desktop modes is what I like to do, but if you don't care about wireless charging or DeX then the A72 certainly is an option.

Question What To Consider If Buying A New Watch

Hi,
This is my first thread, and happy to be here.
I'm a newbie to Samsung smartwatches and wanted to buy a new one. There are so many watches out there and so many comparisons that I am not able to make up my mind about which one would be the best watch for me. I am looking to buy a smartwatch that gives good battery life, a calling feature, a round dial(looks cool), and doesn't feel heavy while wearing.
Please guide me.
Thanks in advance.
I got my wife the Galaxy Watch5. It replaced her Galaxy Watch4 that she rarely wore because of it being too heavy. She wears the Galaxy Watch5 all the time now.
I like my Galaxy watch 5 LTE a lot more than I did my Galaxy 4. It has a better performance, better battery, improved sensors and seems a little bit lighter! Cheers
I still use a Galaxy Watch4. I will say without a doubt, my wife's Galaxy Watch5 is much lighter than my Galaxy Watch4. The Galaxy Watch4 has a stainless-Steel case and the Galaxy Watch5 has an aluminum case. Makes quite a difference. The battery is much better than the Galaxy Watch4 but otherwise they are very comparable. I like the rotating bezel on my Galaxy Watch4. Wish they had kept that on the Galaxy Watch5.
