Beautiful Tablet, now at Reduced Prices
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e is a beautiful tablet. I upgraded from a Tab S2, which is also a beautiful tablet, just a little dated. Despite having a larger screen, 10.5" verses 9.7", the S5e weighs only 11 grams more than the S2. It is extremely light for its size. The S5e also has a really gorgeous big screen. It's even a higher resolution than the S2. The S5e also has a significantly higher resolution than the S6 Lite, which I was also considering getting.
I bought the S5e with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. They should last me for a while While not the newest or fastest, the processer in the S5e is fairly quick. My Tab S5e has already upgraded to Android 10 and I expect an upgrade to 11 fairly soon. My S2 toped out at Android 7. One of the things that I look forward to using on the S5e is DeX, which allows the tablet to be used like a PC. I haven't taken the time to figure it out yet.
There are, however, a few things that I liked better about the S2. One is its 5:4 screen ratio. This is more convenient for reading documents in portrait mode. The Tab S5e's 16:10screen is better for videos in horizon mode. I also miss the physical "Home" button of the S2. Unfortunately, no new tablet has a physical home button. :( The last thing I miss is that I can not use the free mobile version of Microsoft Office on the S5e. I must use the online version or subscribe to Office 365, even though I own the full version of Office 2019 for my main computer. The maximum screen size for the free version is 10.1". I knew about these before I purchased my S5e. None were deal breakers.
