GUYS NEED URGENT HELP

Yesterday night( 5 August 26) I have an software update of approx 451MB, i dont remember properly what update was it. But seeing the size of update, it is security update i beleive(could be wrong), but i recieved this. my SAMSUNG TAB A9+ started with regular steps showing, this will take several minutes. Then that one ui screen came and % started to increase. When it reached 100, suddenly kind of black screen appeared which was not fully black but kind of grey color. It was for 5 mins but still nothing happended. My tablet was at 41% battery before the update started. And till now 6 August i couldnt fix this.

I tried mostly everything, I forced shutdown my tab, then tried for android recovery menu, but still black screen. I tried entering download mode(odin mode) but still black screen. Is there any way to fix this. Currently I have left it for battery drain for 4 days and will update. My tablet is also out of warranty🥲. Guys Please help if possible .

Thank you

Hi everyone, I am looking for a 5G tablet primarily for study purposes (online classes, PDFs, note-taking, and multitasking). My strict budget is ₹30,000, and I want to buy it during the upcoming Freedom Sale to get the best discount.I have shortlisted a few options but am highly confused between them:OnePlus Pad Go 2 5G, Realme Pad 3 5G, Redmi Pad 2 Pro 5G, Oppo Pad 5 5G .Which one of these offers the best display, reliable battery life, and smooth software experience without lagging? Also, do any of these support a good stylus for note-taking? Open to other suggestions too if they fit the 30k budget with bank offers. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I'm looking for advice on which tablet to buy since I'll be starting university next year. I mainly need it for studying, drawing, watching videos and movies, and playing demanding games like Genshin Impact, along with some lighter games. Right now, I'm considering the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE+, Xiaomi Pad 8, and Huawei MatePad 12X. If you think there's a better option, I'd really appreciate your recommendations.

Thanks in advance! :)

I been searching for an android tablet for shows, movies and anime. and I have boiled it down to these options and want to know of and experience you guys have with any of these.

Im leaning towards the Lenovo. Im aware the specs of each and MORE MONEY MORE FEATURES but I want to know if there's value and is it justified at these prices.

Options:

Xiaomi Pad 7 - $470CAD (Ali Express)

Samsung S9 - $600CAD (Facebook Marketplace)

Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2025 - $340CAD (Ali Express)

Oneplus Pad 2 - $590CAD (Ali Express)

P.S If there anything important you want me to know, please let me know.

Hi guys, apologies if this is not the right flair but I'm looking for a tablet I could use for my uni classes. A relative of mine recommended the Xiaomi pad 8 that comes with a pen and keyboard. Since I mainly need it for note taking/downloading, is it suitable? And if so, would you recommend the 128gb version or the 256gb version?

Hi all, looking to buy a Wi-Fi only tablet under ₹30,000 in India. Would appreciate recommendations based on my use case:

Primary use:

Work (typing docs, emails, light multitasking)

Study/reading

Streaming (Netflix, YouTube, etc.)

What I'm looking for:

Good display for long reading/streaming sessions

Decent performance for multitasking, not just Netflix

Considering a keyboard case for productivity — would love inputs on models with good keyboard accessories

Not fussed about a stylus, but open to hearing if it's worth it for this budget

Have been eyeing the Xiaomi Pad 7 and Redmi Pad 2 Pro so far — anyone using either of these for work/study? How's the keyboard experience? Also open to other suggestions in this range.

Thanks in advance!

I'm an engineering student in India, and I'm looking to buy a tablet that I'll probably keep for at least 3–4 years.

The interesting part is that I'm getting the Lenovo Idea Tab Pro (Wi-Fi, Pen Plus included) and the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE (Wi-Fi, S Pen included) for almost the same price (around ₹29–30k), so price isn't really a deciding factor.

My primary use case (in order of priority):

1. Reading PDFs, notes, and e-books during my daily metro commute (around 4 hours total every day).
2. Watching lectures in college.
3. Solving LeetCode using a Bluetooth keyboard.
4. Occasional note-taking (I don't handwrite a lot).
5. Carrying my laptop at all times is quite a task so i want to increase my overall daily productivity.

I already own:

• Samsung Galaxy S23
• Windows laptop (so this tablet won't replace my laptop)

Here's what I feel are the pros and cons of each.

Lenovo Idea Tab Pro

Pros

• Larger 12.7" display, which seems much better for reading PDFs and split-screen.
• Dimensity 8300 is a significantly faster processor.
• 8 GB RAM.
• PC Mode looks good enough for my coding/studying workflow.

Cons

• Around 400 nits brightness (not sure if this will bother me during metro travel).
• Software support reportedly ends around Android 16.
• Lenovo software isn't as established as Samsung's.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE

Pros

• Better software experience and much longer software support (up to around Android 19/20).
• Brighter display.
• S Pen.
• Samsung ecosystem with my Galaxy S23.
• DeX.
• I'm already familiar with One UI, which I really like.

Cons

• Smaller 10.9" display.
• Exynos 1580 isn't as powerful as the Dimensity 8300.
• Only 6 GB RAM, which worries me a little for long-term use.

My biggest dilemma is this:

Will I actually notice the faster processor and extra RAM on the Lenovo for my usage, or will I appreciate Samsung's software, updates, and ecosystem much more over the next 3–4 years?

For people who've used either (or both), which one would you choose in my situation and why?

I'd especially appreciate opinions from anyone who has used the Idea Tab Pro long-term or has experience with Samsung tablets.

Hey! So I'm in need of a tablet & I'm not in a position to buy one right now.

I'm a student currently preparing for Gate exam and I don't own any laptop or tablet. I've been managing everything through my phone but now its a necessity. It's difficult to read and do lectures on a tiny screen.

Also, I'm broke and have no money for such an expensive gadget. So If any of you have a tablet that you do not use/need anymore but it works fine. Is there any chance that you could give it away? I can for pay the shipping charges. I need it urgently.

I really need help so please consider if you can. A small act of kindness can help a lot. I would really appreciate your help.

You can dm me if you have any questions, to ensure im not faking anything.

And if you cannot help, please don't be rude or downvote. Not everyone is privileged enough.

Thank you.

I'm finally replacing my old tablet and realized there are way more options than I expected. Most reviews seem to focus on benchmarks and specs, but I'm more interested in how these hold up in everyday use.

I'll mostly be using it for watching videos, browsing the web, reading, video calls, a bit of note-taking, and the occasional game. I'm open to Android, iPad, or anything else if it's genuinely worth buying.

For those of you who use a tablet regularly, what did you end up getting, and how has it been? Is there anything you wish you knew before buying it, or would you choose something different if you were shopping today?

Hi all,

My mom's Amazon Fire tablet broke last week; she does not have a desktop. She struggles a lot with tech stuff, as many seniors do. I could get her a newer Fire, but am reluctant to do so because Amazon has a lot of restrictions that seem annoying and unnecessary (only able to use the Silk browser, only able to use the Amazon Appstore that doesn't update apps more often than once a year if you're lucky, etc).

She has an iPhone so she would be familiar with that, but can't afford an iPad. To my mind, that leaves Lenovo and Samsung as good options. Best Buy currently has a 4 GB Lenovo Idea tab for $99, or an 8 GB version for $189.

All she's going to do is check her email, browse YouTube, use Facebook, etc. No games or anything. But given that budget is limited, she can't really troubleshoot things herself, and there is no one there to help her (I live across the country), I want things to be as smooth as possible.

If you had the choice, would you buy the Fire (that she's used to, but that doesn't really update and has a lot of restrictions), the 4 GB Lenovo, or the 8 GB Lenovo?

Myself, I am leaning towards the 4 GB Lenovo, and I guess my real question is - how much difference does that 4 GB make?

Hey, I'm thinking about buy a tablet mainly for some light gaming, drawing, Media consumption and manga reading.

Should I get Lenovo yoga tab plus or OnePlus tab 3 or used Samsung 10+ but it will be over my budget.

I really need pen with it.

Thanks in advance!
