For starters, this thing is obscenely thin. Which is fine if that's what you WANT it to be, but I would have preferred it be maybe 75% thicker with the addition of even higher battery capacity. And don't get me wrong, the battery capacity is Good, I like it, I haven't actually plugged it in since it arrived yesterday morning and I've gone through maybe 20% of the battery. But there are some software hiccups. Mainly the way it layers things and the shape and resolution means that some programs just don't quite fit right, especially older apps that use a more rudimentary placement for things like bars and the like. As a media machine for streaming from your personal servers or running streaming apps? This is great. The OLED is pretty and crisp, the colors are nice, the brightness is good, and the sound, while a BIT muffled in some spots, is surprisingly robust for such a tiny package. Seriously, this thing's speaker is louder than my laptop, and I do not understand how or why. The include pen is... I mean, it exists. I'll be using a different one that fits in the hand better, because this one is kind of just... not good. Not Awful, sure, but definitely a bit shy on the whole "Someone who actually holds things in their hand for a living didn't test this" type of testing. I really hope the manufacturer puts out some updates for this tablet soon that address the way it handles its slightly off-standard resolution and toolbar placements, so that legacy apps will work better. There are also issues with stacking conflicting protections between Android and Samsung that could cause some problems with application security, and I feel like those would be an easy fix to sort out for Samsung here. But beyond that? It's good. It could be Better, sure, the feel in the hands with it being so thin and with such harsh edges is a problem for ergonomics, but for what it is? I like it. Read more

There are not enough stars in the rating... Should be 10+. First, I have the S7 FE 5G model already. Now the S11 in in a totally different ball game !!!. Not only transferring 12 GB of data between tables was a flash... I actually screwed it up! The S11 was so fast that it went to Home and started working as if it was ready.... By mistake, I took the USB connections out and interrupted the transfer that was still going. I opened up Sync, press the right buttons and it just continued where it left off.! 2 minutes later was all done. Battery? Crazy. When first booted, it was at 65%. I connected it to my S7 for transfer and it was CHARGING the S7 !. Not only charging, transferring, setting up and updating all apps many was a flash with WiFi 6, it only used 10% battery ! How crazy is that? The came the testing... Ballistically fast.... On everything it does. Best feature: SOUND!!!!. They absolutely nailed it. Did they put a subwoofer in this thing?... The 4 speakers give you an almost surround sound experience with sooooooo much bass, perfect mid frequencies and crisp highs. My wife that was next to me, stopped her tablet and stated: "sounds like the movies! That's crazy?!" Voices in a movie where completely clearly legible not muffled like the S7, explotions and flying glass crisp. We just kept looking around the unit trying to see where the sound comes from. At 1/4 of the volume, it was perfect for a movie and you an even feel vibrations in the back when holding it.... It is insane high quality sound! I'm blown away. Another plus, fingerprint recognition on the right side ( landscape) or bottom( portrait) just like a phone. Super fast finger recognition, ON, press while holding, boom!. The pen is light and just like a hex pencil and will not roll out. Take that S7! Magnet sticks to the top edge of right side. The Tab S11 is beyond excellent. Read more

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 is one of those devices that immediately impresses from the moment you power it on. As someone who uses tablets daily for both work and entertainment, I can confidently say this is one of the most balanced and thoughtfully designed Android tablets on the market right now. Design & Build Quality: The first thing you notice is just how slim and lightweight it is. Despite its thin profile, it feels solid and durable in hand—premium materials all around, with no flex or creak. It’s slim enough to carry around effortlessly, but still feels like a serious productivity tool rather than a fragile gadget. The minimalist gray finish gives it a professional look, which I appreciate for meetings or travel. Display: The large display is stunning. Colors are vibrant, blacks are deep, and brightness levels are excellent whether you’re indoors or outdoors. Watching movies, browsing the web, or reading documents feels immersive thanks to the sharp resolution and smooth refresh rate. For artists, students, and professionals, the screen provides plenty of real estate without being bulky. Performance: Under the hood, the Tab S11 is snappy and responsive. Apps open quickly, multitasking is seamless, and even heavy workloads (like editing documents while streaming or handling multiple tabs) don’t slow it down. Gaming performance is equally strong, with smooth graphics and no noticeable lag. S Pen & AI Assist: The included S Pen is a major highlight. It feels natural for note-taking, sketching, or annotating documents. Latency is minimal, making handwriting look and feel smooth and accurate. Combined with Samsung’s AI Assist, the tablet becomes a productivity powerhouse—whether it’s helping organize notes, generating summaries, or providing smart suggestions to streamline work. Battery Life: Battery performance is excellent. With moderate to heavy use, I easily get a full day without needing to recharge. For lighter use like reading, browsing, or note-taking, it stretches even longer. It charges quickly too, so downtime is minimal. Storage & Connectivity: 128 GB of onboard storage is generous for most users, and being WiFi-enabled keeps the setup simple. For those who rely heavily on cloud storage, integration is seamless. I love the expandable MicroSD card slot. I was able to install a 1TB MicroSD card with no issue and add an incredible amount of storage. Good value at this price for a top performing tablet from a trusted name brand. Final Thoughts: The Galaxy Tab S11 strikes the perfect balance between performance, portability, and premium features. It’s ideal for students, professionals, or anyone who wants a reliable, versatile Android tablet that can handle both work and play with ease. Between the gorgeous display, powerful performance, and the productivity boost of the S Pen + AI Assist, it feels like a tablet designed to make life easier, more creative, and more enjoyable. Highly recommended if you want a modern, high-performance tablet that delivers on all fronts. Read more

I was surprised to see this brand new fantastic 11-inch tablet being offered at such as small price point. This Galaxy Table S11 – which my wife immediately snatched from me to use as her own! – boasts a lot of battery power, strong and fast performance, a bright and spectacular display screen, and a bonus stylus pen. I don’t know how long this powerful tablet will continue to be offered at this introductory price so my advice, if you want or are in need of a tablet, is to grab one of these as soon as possible. I am no computer or tablet expert so I’m not going to bore the reader with complicated numbers. All I can tell you is that this thing is fast and it provides such a wonderful display. Even at its brightest setting the OLED screen is easy on the eyes, which is important if you’re someone who is going to be working on it for long lengths of time. The stylus pen works smoothly and effectively. If you are going to be using this for any artistic purposes, you’ll be pleased with the performance of the pen. It feels much more like an Apple pen than previous Samsung pens. I have always preferred Samsung technology over Apple’s but, I have to say, the Apple pen (and now this new Samsung one) has felt superior in my hand and it “writes” much smoother and more like a real pencil than previous Samsung models. It is also hexagon shaped, like a real pencil, to add to the 'feel appeal.' The screen display is dynamic, sharp and vibrant. It refreshes amazingly fast, too. The tablet is very light (slightly more than 16.5 ounces) and it is less than a quarter of an inch thick which makes it easy to hold and maneuver with just one hand. The screen has many special features such as split screens and pop-up functions at the bottom. From what I have read in the manual, it is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ processor which, to be honest, is computer gibberish to me, apparently is extremely powerful especially for such a small and compact device. The new pen design also allows the pen to charge magnetically at the top edge of the tablet. The S11’s battery has excellent long lasting life. We charged our table to 100% when we took it out of the box and it fully charged in practically no time. With almost constant use for the first couple of days, it was only down to 35% after many hours of reading, writing and drawing. The tablet is available in three different storage capacities: 128GB, 256GB or 512GB. I ordered the 128GB level and I am already extremely pleased with its powerful performance. As I said earlier, I am far from an expert on these things so there’s not much else I can add about processing, refresh rates, or other numbers. I know that I probably sound repetitive at this point so all I can add at this point is that I am enthusiastically recommending this tablet to one and all. Read more

I was impressed by next day delivery, and even more impressed with just how thin and light this Galaxy Tab S11 is. On the display front, the image quality, sharpness and brightness are outstanding. You will have no problems using this outdoors. The display's response time and refresh rate is also excellent. The bezels though, are unnecessarily thick when compared to its more expensive and larger sibling this generation. The MediaTek SoC is exactly the same from the more expensive model, a small incremental improvement compared to last generations tablet. This SoC does not disappoint. You can play most games with no issues. Most tasks are done without any visible stutters, web browsing, word processing, photo editing, writing, everything just works as expected. I'm not a big fan of Samsung's UI. It's too colorful for my liking. I much prefer Stock Android from the Pixel or even Motorola devices. I truly wish Samsung would allow customers to choose which UI they'd prefer to use. Connectivity to Wi-Fi was not a problem. I own a Wi-Fi 7 router and the tablet reports 6e connection. Speeds are more than adequate. Very speedy. Zero complaints. Bluetooth connectivity is great as well, and you can easily use a keyboard and mouse, or a combination of the two, without any problems. Sound quality through the speakers is also excellent. Good balance between volume, clarity and body when watching content or listening to music. This is basically a massively large smartphone without the cellphone portion. I do wish this came with cellphone capabilities, unfortunately Samsung does not make a model with that feature. Battery life is surprisingly good considering the battery size and display size. Charging speed is more than adequate. The Samsung Pen is nice and easy to use, though I find it more accurate using it with my left hand, than it is with my right hand, which is very odd. I like that you can see a small circle as you hover the tip right above the screen. You can easily snap the pen around the metal edges of the tablet magnetically just like an iPad. There's no charging light. I received the 128GB model for review. At the current pricing, that's a horrible investment. The 512GB model is just 60 dollars more expensive. But there is a slot for adding an SD card. When it comes to pricing, I find the MSRP way too high for what this is. You can find the last year's model for half of the price of this one, sometimes less. There weren't many major upgrades to demand such high markup over the outgoing model. Plus, at this point, we're encroaching on iPad territory, most people's pick due to features, accessories, etc. This is a solid and pleasant to use Android tablet. Now, I need to find a nice case for it, because none was included. I would definitely recommend going with a case, particularly if you plan on taking this on the road. One major gripe on the first out of the box setup and experience, which I found extremely frustrating, was the fact that everything is controlled by Samsung. I could not use this device without setting it up with a Samsung account. Besides pricing, this is the reason I removed another star from my review. If I could, I would have rated this tablet 3.5 stars because of those two things. Overall, I would still recommend the Tab S11 to my fellow Amazon shoppers. Particularly if you like that Samsung style and features. But my recommendation would be to wait for holiday deals, just around the corner. Read more
