I've just come back here to tell you all how I solved it, but you got here first! Well done. For the Samsung keyboard, I went on the Samsung Support Chat Line and I was directed to: Settings > General Management > Samsung Keyboard settings > Predictive Text. Strangely, it was already turned...

It's not a spell checker, if I deliberately spell something wrong, it couldn't care less. :) :)

Thanks for your suggestion, I'll try it.

Thanks, it's interesting that your Gboard does the same, and weird that the Samsung keyboard does the same. Makes me wonder whether it is a setting outside of the keyboards that is causing it. I have never seen it on any other device, ever. Cannot imagine why anyone would want it.

I have been trying a Samsung A40, and if I set Auto Screen Off to 5 minutes, I cannot simply switch the screen Off and On again (side button) without entering passcode. As I switch the screen Off and On again frequently, to save battery, this is frustrating. Of course I can disable Auto Screen...

Tsepz_GP - Thank you, your listing of the other possibilities is very helpful, and you have confirmed my impression that the Galaxy Note 8 is probably the most competent product in this class. Mike

i.e. for drawing/painting, in the 5.5" to 7" sector, smartphone/phablet/tablet? Including cheaper ones or discontinued models? I am currently playing with the Tayasui Sketches app on iPhone SE and I would like to explore "pen-and-watercolour" paintings, but I have only just begun. Mike
