I'm looking to buy a tablet for my daughter, who would use it for drawing. According to the internet the best Android tablet for this use case is the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7/S7+ (a little too expensive for me) and then come the S7 FE and Xiaomi Pad 5.
I read conflicting opinions about the drawing performance/lag etc., mostly from reviews done before the latest Pad 5 updates which *should* have improved the drawing experience.
For sure, the snapdragon 860/6GB RAM is better than 778G/4GB RAM .
Would anyone be so kind as to share their experience?
If your daughter is pro, apple or samsung.
But i think mipad is enough for your daughter
Xiaomi Pad 5 pen is at least better than S6 Lite and enough for writing. I don't know for drawing.
The pen is mostly fine, if you want the best experience get Samsung or Apple.

Gpad has better resolution, and Note 8.0 has S-pen...
well as you ask this in gpad's section i believe most will tell you that gpad is better. I really like samsung note 8 but it was more expensive than gpad
Now 8 is brighter and had. Spen. Everything else from speed weight screen resolution and price was better on this. Am a note 3 user so did not feel I wanted another so similar device. Also living the kit kat roms this

If only these noobs knew how to use the search button rather than reposting discussions that already exist.
This gpad has 1920x1200 resolution microsd with exfat support out of the box. Knock and qremote features are very useful. The price is much better than the note 8, if you want something for note taking buy the 10.1 2014.
I am trying to make a purchase decision. I am a Mac user. The MacBook Pro 15" is my work computer. I use it for research, scientific writing and pdf reading. It is 2kg. I have been looking for a lighter device (preferably below 1kg) that I could use for pdf annotation and reading while waiting at the bus stop, on the bus and in restaurants. A Note Pro 8.4" would be the most ideal device but Samsung decided to release only a S-pen less Tab Pro 8.4" I considered to get the 12.2 Pro but worry that it is a bit heavy. Also, at that price, I could get a Surface Pro 2 or a pen-based Windows 8 tablet. What suggestion do you have? Any news on when a Note Pro 8.4" will be out? Thanks.
No idea yet mon. We all rely on google for info really. If the 12.2 is too big get the Note 10.1 2014 edition. Same specs but very light and mobile

Nothing's changed since you asked the same questions in this earlier thread you started. And since the same people who responded the first time are still here you'll get the same answers. That is if they take the time to respond again.

there is the older Note 8.0
or maybe you would consider Tegra Note, so far Ive been hearing good things about it
Well if it means anything to you I've dumped a Lenovo Tablet 2 for the Note 10.1 2014.
I have a laptop (and a desktop) and wanted something smaller and lighter. The Lenovo is great if you really need the desktop apps. But the pen and apps for it seem better on the Note. And at the time I got the Note I could have gotten the Surface Pro (version 1) for about the same price, even with the touch cover. I'm happier with the note than I was with Lenovo and I really don't think the extra power of the Surface Pro would have made any difference, to me at least.
I heard that the Note Pro 12.2 can charge faster. Is this true? This could be an determining factor. Don't know why the Note Pro 12.2 LTE is not available yet.
So I'm on the verge to buy a 8 inches tablet and I've come down to a choice between the G Pad and the Samsung Tab Pro 8.4 and would like to have your opinions.
So of course, on paper, I should go with the Tab Pro. Better CPU&GPU, higher resolution, bigger battery, etc. But...the G Pad kinda looks better, has software buttons, has better Roms support (thank you GPE) and is also 150 € cheaper ! I also wonder if the GPE program will allow the G Pad to get updated longer than the Tab Pro.
So is the faster CPU/GPU really a huge leap of performance ? I'm not a huge gamer and will mostly browse the web and watch films.
What do you think ?

I have the GPE (V510), and I too wonder about the performance benefit of the Tab Pro's CPU. Test reports seem inconclusive on it.
As far as ROM support, it is nonexistent on the V510. And it's been about 3 weeks since Nexus devices and GPE phones received their 4.4.3/4 updates, and there's no trace of any update for our devices yet.
I would be interested in a hands on comparison from a forum member.
And please report back on your decision and impressions, whatever you decide to purchase.
Edit 1: 4.4.4 for V510 has been released today by Google.
Hello!
So my wife has the Note 4 but it is pretty old by now and feels laggy. Unfortunately every new phone has this aspect ratio we both hate 18:9 aside from the Huawei Mate 10 and the the Note FE. Finding the FE seems hard with US warranty and the Mate 10 does not have an OLED screen which she loves. So...as she finds the Note 8 way too long with that hotdog shape...I started thinking the 5t even though is the same aspect ratio, being smaller might be a good alternative. The Mate 10 Pro is also on my short list.
Still, I am leaning towards the 5T the more I read about it. What you guys feel about it after using it for a while? How is Oreo doing on it? Please note that the phone will be completely stock as unlike me, my wife does not want ANY modifications to the stock roms lol
Is battery life really good? From the reviews I read I like that the UI seems very fast and smooth.
Anyways, anything you want to share (and if you came from a Note 4 even better). She does not really use the s-pen so she is fine losing that feature.
Thanks!
I came from Note 4 to OP5T and I love it.

I am guessing the camera is better too?
I am reading a lot of complaints of the 5T camera being worst than the 5 and from samples, it seems like that indeed. I even started considering the Mate 10 Pro now because of that and also the Pixel 2 XL (but with so many burn in issues probably not).
Thanks!
I had different phones, the Xiaomi redmi note 4 lg g6, oneplus 5, s8, and the s8 plus. But I am going to buy to the Xiaomi redmi note 5 pro excellent price performance. The Samsung s8 is also very good if u don't want to flash roms. Easy to setup and system wide ad blocker and almost every month security updates and a very nice screen.
I said go for the s8 the new Samsung experience is very good and many times better than the old touchwiz and a very good battery live and performance.
Hello!
In few days I would like to buy a new phone. Right now, in my country, there are massive price drops of SGS9+/ Note 9 prices. So SGS9+ costs 536€ and Note 9 699€.
As You might know, Mi 9 costs about 466€ (6/128 variant). The thing is, that Mi 9 is almost unpossible to get from official distribution. There are only few pieces avalaible for sale every week.
In my opinion Mi 9 only advantages are newest Snapdragon 855, and better look (personal opinion), and under display fingerprint scanner. Camera without OIS is a little bit worrying.
My biggest concerns about SGS9+/Note 9, is Exynos which in benchmarks is slightly slower than Snap 845. But on the other hand I think that camera would be better, and despite being released over year ago (SGS9+), it still can show off with the new technologies.
If Samsung, then question is SGS9+ or Note 9? Note 9 has larger battery, stylus (sounds like a good idea, but in practice can't say how often I would use it) and a little bit telephoto camera. Would You say that it is worth to pay more?
I would like to hear your opinions regarding Samsung devices, and maybe even some of You has comparision to Mi 9
I will be grateful for any recommendations.
Thanks!

Go for the phone with the newer snapdragon

It depends on your usage, if you want a phone with stereo speakers, headphone jack and SD card slot, with higher screen resolution and higher front facing video resolution, and if you care about a more secure iris/face unlock and more reliable physical fingerprint scanner, go for the S9+/Note 9 (depends if you need an S pen). Otherwise go for the Xiaomi Mi 9. Personally, I prefer Samsung's software though. But since you can pay 699€, I recommend you to pay a few more and get the S10e, or wait for the S10 price to drop, it will be much better than the Mi 9...

I'd prefer Samsung, they have a better track record, especially on the security and spyware department.
Since you don't have access to the Galaxy so plus with the snapdragon variant that equals to worst camera and battery (I mean on snapdragon you are gonna be able to use the GCam mods with great alogirthm for Better photos, you can use the wide lens camera,better portait pictures etc! And the battery in my experience of the s9 (not the s9+ is just fine I am able t get 2:30hrs of sot time per charge in full HD )
