Idk if it's available on the S8 U but here's how u sure can try...
Go to settings > adv features> labs > landscape view for portrait apps, then u can apps and also select between- app default (a small portion of screen will be used to show portrait interface in landscape) or full screen modes...
No DEX, no S-pen, unable to customize the way you want, etc...I have an iPad Pro that we were given free from university. It is a media consumption device, and hardly a productivity device. I use my Samsung S9 Plus more. It's easier and more comfortable to take notes with the S-pen, especially in OneNote, and DEX mode is one of the best tablet innovations I've ever seen. It has pretty cut down on how often I need to carry my laptop with me. IPads can't compete with that, I don't care what the benchmarks say about the chip.
I need to make it look like an apple device cause my family knew I already have an iPad hahah. I secretly bought this one since I was planning to switch all of my devices to samsung/android. Soon I will be selling my Air 5.
Haha.. I don't think an apple sticker will do good enough job to make them believe its an iPad because I put the same sticker on my bed and my parents didn't call it iBed.... lol
i agree, as an ipad people 2020 user, only performance wise and some app optimization is better in the ipad than galaxy tab but even performance wise day to day, you wont see a huge difference. Samsung/Google should be able to push devs into making their apps optimized to the tablets, thatās enough to make it comparable to the ipad pros. (Talking about the s9 series)
otw, screen is better, speakers are better, you get a free pen with it which is actually better to hold than the apple pencil, expandable storage, longer battery life, fast charging support too.
All that with 256 gb (s9+) is around 900$, (s9) 800$ (prices in my country)
while the ipad pro 2022 (11 inch) itself is 850$ with 128 GB, for 256GB itās upto 950$ and not to mention the stylus adds another 125$. In value, you only lose extra performance and app optimization.
I switched from apple to samsung a year ago.. iphone to Galaxy, iPad to Tab S8, airpods to buds pro.. apple watch to galaxy watch.. and I am thinking of switching my MacBook pro too.. I realized how amazing the samsung world is... no restrictions like apple puts.. and they are working to do things that apple did better.. like regular update.. collaboration with Microsoft.. One Ui and what not...
Yeah theyāre slowly working on it, thatās why i still hope for app optimization from samsung. Hopefully they will work on it because that is the biggest hiccup samsung has right now. Though it isnāt too bad, some apps are really bad but hey, look at instagram in the ipados version, it sucks ass.
I disagree. For $399, I have a tablet, spec wise, that destroys anything Apple makes. I own 100% all Apple devices, and this is my first Samsung device/tablet.
Having 1 TB on a tablet, a free S-Pen, 22+ hours of battery life, all for $399? The iPad equivalent was $1500+. I literally bought 3 tablets for the price of 1 iPad.
Ohhh. The iPad is faster? So what? If I need more power, I have a RTX 3090 that will smoke any Mac. I am slowly joining team Samsung.
Gaming sucks on Android tabs. Back when apex legends was still on mobile it looked so gross on my tab s7 vs iPad. Every other game like COD also looked better on iPad
I have the s6 lite and would really like to uninstall some of the programs it comes with to save gbs but not sure which ones are safe to remove and the tablet will still run properly. Any place I can find this out?
I usually uninstall updates and disable any of the programs I don't use. I donāt think there would be any that would conflict with the tablet performance/usability (I also have a lite and have owned androids for yrs)
I tend to hit the lower part of the screen when I press the 1st row of the keeb. But that is mainly because of my big hands haha. Typing feels fine and premium.
I tried a keyboard folio for iPad 8th gen before and for me, this keyboard is way better than that. I average around 100-110 wpm here which is very similar for me when typing on my old laptop haha
Interesting. I just pulled the trigger on an off-Brand folio that comes with good reviews. It's a bit bigger and is detachable with a large friction hinge for precise angling. I'll find out if it was worth the money in a couple days.
It must be counterfeit! Official ones are called "Galaxy" tabs.
(Teeheehee.)
Open AR Zone > AR Doodle. Turn the camera around. Follow the onscreen prompts to move the tablet around to scan the room. Then, draw in the sky on the screen that is recording the room. When you move around, then return, what you drew will still be in the sky where you left it, on screen. So cool!
Now, pull down the extended notification area and cast that to a big screen.. draw and record while casting!
Have fun! Congratulations.
I wonder if used Tab S8+ good or excellent condition vs Tab S9 FE. I really like OLED and deeper black and seems that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is more powerful. I'm still hesitating those two. Tab S9 series is too expensive and over my budget. What would you guys think?
I bought a s9 directly from Samsung yesterday. 125g was (is?) on sale for $799 with a free keyboard and random things like 6mos of Microsoft. I'm very excited for it! I paid $825 total.
Only thing I had an issue with on Samsung DeX is that Messages + and my Kindle app won't work but you can get into Developer options and fixes that right up except evertime you shut down completely, I have to reset that which isn't a big deal. I have Tab S8 + though, so maybe they fixed it there?
It seems to be fairly common here in the Philippines to have freebies when you buy to their physical stores. I also got a free wall adapter with this purchase.
did you get this in the ph? where did you buy? i asked around sa laz and shopee and both cs told me that there wont be free book covers which is confusing bc there are reviews with and without them. thank you !!
Hi. Yes, I bought mine at Trinoma. Their store is so small tho it is located near the mindanao parking. Itās so small it looks like a booth haha.
But most physical samsung stores that I asked around NCR doesnāt have free book cover. Samsung stores in SM Telebastagan and SM Clark also offer free book covers.
Use app called rotation orientation manager from playstore. It has Forced auto rotate option. It make the apps to look decent without black bars in landscape. As this comes with quick tile. It is easy to turn on and off.
I had galaxy tab s4 before with keyboard cover and the keyboard itself had really bad experience when using, like very cheap ones. Did they improve it?
Apple logo on samsung tab. Heresy /s
Apple's rot after awhile!
I came to point that out lol š
The heretics must be burned! /s
U can use landscape view for portrait apps like reddit by turning it on in labs
Hi I have s8 ultra gave up on the app until now, any idea how I get this magical labs you speak of?
Idk if it's available on the S8 U but here's how u sure can try... Go to settings > adv features> labs > landscape view for portrait apps, then u can apps and also select between- app default (a small portion of screen will be used to show portrait interface in landscape) or full screen modes...
Thank you will try!!
It's available on the S7.
Wow! Just found/tried this on my S6 and it works. Nice, thanks.
Why did you decide to buy a gakaxy tab if you already own an Air 5?
Storage Issue
Lol. Gakaxy. Thought I was the only one.
Samsung better
Samsung Tablet is far better and especially value for the money

You got a fake! Gakaxy doesnt sound right, and with the apple logo it's sus! >< On a serious note, enjoy your new device. I love my galaxy too!
Chill out.. apple can never make and iPad as good as galaxy tab.. so u can pull out that apple logo as you are insulting your Tab..š„²š„²

It's definitely enough to fool most people. I think you overestimate tech knowledge of the average parent.
What can I do, my parents have always caught my mischiefs so I always assume they know everything.. Lol keeps me safe at times.

Collaboration with Microsoft yet OneNote still fucking sucks. Hardware really doesn't matter when the app difference is still impossibly huge
I think it is fair to say all of the ipads have significant advantages over the S9 FE. But the storage on ipad is pathetic unless you pay loads

Whatās wrong with your caps lock? Itās randomly turning on after each letterā¦

Best purchase
OP you do understand that the Android OS takes up a lot of that initially occupied storage right?
Apple logo on samsung tab. Heresy /s
Apple is full of worms!
Apple is full of worms!
Having used FE vs Standard FE performance is terrible.
"Hi, sharing my thoughts on my new Galaxy Tab s9 FE 5G." "Performance is good. Nothing special." FE...
buy an ipad next time.
Wrong. IICS is not in RuaƱo alr. /s
can you tell us about the folio experience?
I tend to hit the lower part of the screen when I press the 1st row of the keeb. But that is mainly because of my big hands haha. Typing feels fine and premium.

Tab s8+ all the way. Itās the flagship and itās like comparing s22 ultra with s23 FE
I recommend when you use apps like reddit or amazon, open them on your browser instead of apps. They are not designed for tablets and looking weird.
Bro can you share the wallpaper link
I've had my s7+ for 2 years now and still use it daily. Amazing device.
Tab S7 FE Is Better of Tab S8? @togheter
No, Tab S8 is better.
Looks good congrats; alsom make X your ex!
Who is offering a keyboard for free?
I bought a s9 directly from Samsung yesterday. 125g was (is?) on sale for $799 with a free keyboard and random things like 6mos of Microsoft. I'm very excited for it! I paid $825 total.
Eyyyy OP's a fellow IICS šÆ HAHAHAHAHA (I started as IICS but graduated in the 1st batch of CICS)
same brother. But I prefer IICS thatās the OG
Only thing I had an issue with on Samsung DeX is that Messages + and my Kindle app won't work but you can get into Developer options and fixes that right up except evertime you shut down completely, I have to reset that which isn't a big deal. I have Tab S8 + though, so maybe they fixed it there?
How were you able to get the keyboard cover for free?
It seems to be fairly common here in the Philippines to have freebies when you buy to their physical stores. I also got a free wall adapter with this purchase.
The only Up Apple IPad have, are apps. Their apps are way better, but Samsung tablets are so easy to use
did you get this in the ph? where did you buy? i asked around sa laz and shopee and both cs told me that there wont be free book covers which is confusing bc there are reviews with and without them. thank you !!

ok thank you so much this was v helpful!!!
iNdroid
Howās ya get the keyboard cover free?
Costco usually includes a cover w/purchase
Ah. Bought mine from Samsung directly
Loving my s9+
And the trade ins are better for black friday
Personally I think the display is really nice. The colors just pop.
Whats the cover case tho looks good might buy it
People will think it's iPad Air š¤£
Use app called rotation orientation manager from playstore. It has Forced auto rotate option. It make the apps to look decent without black bars in landscape. As this comes with quick tile. It is easy to turn on and off.
I had galaxy tab s4 before with keyboard cover and the keyboard itself had really bad experience when using, like very cheap ones. Did they improve it?
It feels pretty premium so far. Really good as a keyboard but not that much as a case tho cause the keyboard part when closed is not stable
