The media could not be loaded.
- Good tablet for the money, especially if it's for college note taking.
- Okay for content consumption.
- Could work as a drawing tablet depending on what size your previous drawing tablet was.

My overall review:
I bought this tablet to take notes in college and it has been an exceptional tool. Samsung notes is already a pretty good app, being able to sync across from my tablet to my phone. The screen is large enough that I feel like I can write out the entire page of notes and read it, but small enough that I don't have a floppy piece of metal that bends. The S-Pen works fine, I don't know what I'm missing with it being the battery-less version, but it is what it is. Samsung DEX has been very useful turning my tablet into a mini computer (Chromebook is more accurate) when I Bluetooth my keyboard and mouse to it. It struggles to display more than 2 windows at the same time unfortunately.
-----------------------------------
Highlights:
Pros:
- The screen is relatively good looking for content watching (although 1080p)
- The screen is bright enough to take notes while under studio lights
(almost too bright at it's dimmest setting)
- S-Pen drawing feels responsive and on point
- It has stereo audio
- 3.5mm AUX PORT (VERY USEFUL.)
- Metal body (if you really care? who doesn't use a case?)
- Has a rear facing camera & front facing camera
- Expandable storage up to 1TB
- Beyond great value for this price point.
- Passed the Linus drop
(I dropped it while opening the box onto my concrete floor like an idiot. Your mileage may vary, I don't recommend testing it.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cons:
- No biometrics other than face unlock.
- Face unlock functionality is spotty and does not work when wearing a mask (obviously)
- Speakers are not really loud enough for content watching in a loud environment (menace style in public)
- Rear facing camera quality is a joke if the lighting is not perfect
(It works, but won't even win a consolation award, let alone arrive at the finish line)
- I would consider this a little too small to be a drawing tablet
(Unless you're coming from a Huion 420 series drawing tablet)
- Storage is small at 64gb
