I have the S3 and the S4 and I can tell you that despite the difference in processors, I do not perceive much difference in speed. I believe that the same would be between and S4 and an S5. Actually, I am not sure that Samsung can improve this tablet in any substantial way, considering that...

Both in Pixel and HP x2, the pen lag in taking notes is very noticeable and renders them virtually unusable for "pen computing". On the other hand, there is hardly any lag with the Galaxy Tab S3 or S4. In fact, even the S-Pen implementation in Win10 by Samsung provides superior results. Thus...

I have the HP Chromebook X2. Yes, it would be have benefited with 8 GB or RAM but it is really very fast in what it does. The real disappointment with this Chromebook (which is excellent really for more uses) is that the pen is lagging badly in most applications. The only app in which the lag...

DeX is a gimmick at this stage. Nobody would really use this tablet for real productivity work. In addition, it is not really needed most of the time. If one wants to use the MS Office apps, one can do so easily within the typical Android environment. At this stage, Samsung has overpriced...

The released one in MWC. It is not called a Galaxy Note XX.X but a Galaxy S3. It has a screen diameter of 9.7 inches, but the aspect ratio is 4:3, so the screen is tad bigger than in the Galaxy Note 10.1. It has an excellent and upgraded S-Pen with very high touch sensitivity; the pen...

Well, right now Samsung is pushing the Tab A as a tablet "vehicle" of the S-pen. It is questionable that this tablet will go over Android 6. I think that Samsung is evaluating its position in this space and it may decide to switch "note" vehicles to "Windows 10" since there Microsoft is...

No, Android 5.1.1 is not responsible for any battery issues. My tablet has also been updated to the same OS without any adverse consequences for the battery. However, after 2 years, the battery was getting weak. Thus, I obtained a 3rd-party battery replacement, installed it and now the tablet...

I have had no problems. The only issue is that you would eventually have to change the battery and Samsung will not do this for you. You will need to get 3rd party solutions. I changed the battery after 2 years; the new battery works well, but the whole thing was not inexpensive. Otherwise...

Actually, a Samsung Note (10.1 or 12.2) running the Microsoft Office applications and Note is probably superior to the Surface as a tablet. Not as a computer, but as a tablet. If you use OneNote, for example, everything you do with OneNote in the Note tablet transfer seamlessly to a Windows...

In fact, the only way to cure the problem is to do another reset. After you do this, see if the tablet remains stable and works fine. If it does, then start reloading your apps. If the problem re-appears, then you would need to identify the rogue app that is causing the problem.

The A 9.7 has a much lower resolution than the Note 10.1 and, of course, this resolution affects substantially what one can do with the S-pen. However, the direct replacement of the Note 10.1 is likely the Note Pro 12 and the 12'' inch Win10 equivalent (Tab Pro S). I am almost certain that for...

Yes, the Note 10.1 2014 is still a very fast tablet with an excellent screen. I just cannot see what Samsung can do better here. I would have loved it if the latest S-Pen capabilities make it to the Note 10.1 S-pen and if Samsung allows some of its centers to replace the batteries. Otherwise...

Same here, the device works beautifully. No issues.

This is a hardware problem. Playing with the USB connector may result in the problem going away for a short period of time, but essentially, the phone is defective.

I have none of these problems. What I did was to actually reset the phone to factory specs before upgrading to ICS. This appears to have produced a very "clean" condition following the upgrade. The phone feels fine and responds fast and, if anything, it seems to have a better battery life...
