So this tablet model normally sells for $244.30 on the Samsung Industry Partner Store. When on the Samsung website you need to disable your ad-blocker so you get a Samsung pop-up window offering a "Sign up to get $50 off" discount code when you spend over $250. Due to this tablet being under $250 I had to add the cheapest item I could find on this website which was a 60W USB-C Cable ($10.46). The final Price after discount code had been applied was $204.77 including shipping. I'll comment on this post in order to include some screenshots.

        It is faster than BigW or Target Chinese tablets and have AMOLED display. However I failed to reason why Samsung put an underpowered SoC and too little RAM/storage (base model is 16GB storage). This could have been a killer tablet for cheap with say at least the Exynos 9610. I tried this at JB Hi-fi last year and it's stuttery at best. Might be very decent if you just watch videos though, gorgeous display (for the price).

      Round off the corners and use it for a discus. Or this: Galaxy Tab A 10.1 Wi-Fi (SM-T510NZKGXSA) 128GB for $328.30 on the Samsung Education Store, can be had for $278.30 if you sign up for newsletter and get the $50 voucher. Much better tablet for another $75 or so and 3GB RAM instead of 2GB.

      • hypie on 01/05/2020 - 17:11
        +7

        Exactly, the Shield is an absolute beast…people constantly misinterpret the amount of ram they actually require. What do you people plan to do on a 10" tablet?

        • PainToad on 01/05/2020 - 17:38
          +5

          People aren't likely to be multitasking very much with a Shield, so ram isn't as much of an issue. The same logic doesn't apply to a phone/tablet. 2GB is a joke in 2020 for an Android (non TV) device.

        • shellshocked on 01/05/2020 - 17:46

          Comparing the Shield with an tablet is apples and oranges. Try multitasking on the Shield with 2Gb of RAM and see how much it slows down. You are going to be multi-tasking on a tablet and hence need more than 2Gb of RAM. Sweet spot for Android is 4Gb.

          Once watching the stream it's fine, but the lead up in the OS navigation etc, garb and laggy, same goes for browsing, if you are used to anything close to a flagship mobile for surfing you will really dislike the experience of this tablet.

    • arikkim on 01/05/2020 - 18:47

    No doubt about it is a budget tablet but it's great for streaming, got a reasonably good battery life or alternatively you could just resell it for $300 on ebay.

    I've had this tablet for a few years now and it's still going OK but the battery isn't great anymore. I've been think =ing about passing this on to my kids and upgrading, what android tablets would be considered good these days?

    • WoodenSpoon on 01/05/2020 - 17:05

      S6 Lite is on the way, and I think it would replace the Tab S5e. Or if you can still find an S5e at a decent price, might be a good shout.

      • techno2000 on 02/05/2020 - 13:38

        Tab S5e is actually better than the S6 Lite inspite of being an older model.

        Tab S5e has an amoled screen whereas S6 lite has LCD.
        Tab S5e has 4 speakers whereas S6lite has 2.

        Only benefit of S6 lite is that it has a stylus if you need it and it has a 3.5mm headphone jack.

    • eggaz on 02/05/2020 - 10:57

      People become to expect a level of user experience when using flagship mobile phones, when your experience is heavily downgraded an under powered device it's really noticeable. As long as you know what you're getting into, you'll probably find yourself going back to using your phone for what you intended to use the tablet for because of the user experience.

    I have this tablet, works fine for basic browsing and streaming services. Just don't expect everything to be silky smooth at this price point. The next model up and the entry level ipad is double the price

    • Agret on 01/05/2020 - 18:01

      Honestly best bet is a pre-owned Lenovo Yoga they are around $300 and have a fantastic VA panel with awesome contrast ratio. Great for watching movies. Battery life not as long as Android tablets but having a full Windows OS also has a lot of advantage in what you can use it for.

    reading, streaming, surfing and simple gaming has been fine. Wifi rec not the best but I have a chunky case on it which probably doesn't help.

    Why are these tablets so lame? Talk about planned obsolescence they are out of date before you buy them.

    I would have thought that with so much more SPACE than a mobile phone the manufacturing costs would be lower OR performance would be higher, but perhaps Im wrong as everything is scaled for smartphone manufacturing. Maybe the costs of the screen is the problem as they need to cripple the hardware in order to subsidise the cost of a larger screen?

    I don't have any Apple devices and don't see a need for a tablet, but if I was to buy one, it wouldn't be this one. Android tablets are pretty bad, even the flagship Samsung flagship tablets are no match for the iPad.

    You can get this for basic web surfing or netflix watching, but don't expect it to rival the iPad, but then it also doesn't have the price tag of the iPad so you get what you paid for. Spec wise, its pretty bad, only 2GB of RAM.

      Alright mate, I've just rechecked this post and I see that there are a number of people that aren't sure how to access the Samsung Industry Partner site. To my knowledge (I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong), there are 3 different Samsung websites for purchasing Samsung gear, there possibly is more but I am unaware if there is.

      The 3 Samsung websites are:

      Samsung Retail Website
      - Anyone can purchase off this website, this estore is open to the general public.

      Samsung Industry Partner Website
      - This website is for the employees of companies that do business with Samsung. These companies (Telcos, Mining companies, big business etc.) essentially have an agreement with Samsung allowing their employees to purchase selected Samsung gear at discounted prices. In order to register an account, you need to use your company email address and if your company has an agreement in place you will receive an email link to access this website.

      Samsung Education Store (EPP)
      - I believe this website is exactly the same as the industry partner website with the same discounts as well. So in order to use this website and access discounted pricing you will need an email address ending with edu.au. So if you have access to an edu.au email address or can sign up for a free course that offers you one then you will be able to register for this website and access discounted pricing.
