To start things off, this is in my opinion a really great tablet. I’m currently using the tablet to write this review with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse that I bought for it and all three together make a really great combination. The way I’m going to handle this review is by talking the screen, battery, processing power, connectivity. I might add on a few things in a later update.
Screen
Coming from a Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 was kinda impressed but when I first turned on the tablet I immediately noticed weird frame rate issues that were very noticeable, I thought for a second that I might have received a broken tablet but I decided to update the tablet to see if it would go away and it did. Comparing it to my S4 It’s definitely an upgrade but it sure does strain my eyes way more than my old tablet but it looks better in my opinion. I really love going through social media watching YouTube videos and texting, I’m texting way more than I did in the past 5 years and the onscreen keyboard is so great to use. One thing I do want to complain about is that the blue light that this tablet outputs must be very high because the day I started using this tablet I found it way harder to fall asleep. Be sure to turn on Night Shift to get some good hours of Zzzz. Besides that the screen is great and in my experience it’s the perfect size for using it as a tablet, if you’re going to use it more for a laptop get the big IPad Pro.
Battery
This is going to be short. The battery is very great, it has a 7606mAh battery and it goes for days without a charge. I don’t play any games on it but I do use it as a laptop for college and it still does very great. The 60Hz screen must really help battery life because this tablet with very heavy usage can go for about 3 days until it dies. If you are worried about battery life don’t be because it’s great.
Processing power
To help you understand this has the same A14 Bionic as the iPhone 12, it’s crazy fast. This will handle any game, college work, photo editing anything you can think of. It does only have 4GB of ram but it doesn’t seem to slow it down in any way. With the amount of power this thing has it will still be fast 3 years from now. To make this short I’m more worried about the world ending than this tablet being slow in the next few years.
Connectivity
Connecting to my iPhone XS was super easy and both work together so seamlessly like I can’t even explain it. I haven’t had any issues connecting to my speakers, keyboard, WiFi router, texting (just so you know your iPhone has to be on to be texting from your tablet), everything works great. I used to have issues with my S4 connecting to my speakers and issues connecting to my WiFi router with my laptops and it makes me very happy to see that so far I haven’t had any issues with this tablet.
Overall?
This a buy for me. If you need a full laptop replacement to do crazy 4K video editing and got cash to throw around, get the Apple iPad Pro (12.9-inch, 4th generation) but if you want to get more bang for your buck and are mainly going to be using this as a tablet and doing basic college work mainly using Google Docs, heavy gaming or heavy media consumption then this tablet is more than enough. I got $50 off during Black Friday and I consider that a crazy good deal. I don’t regret buying this tablet. In my opinion this is far greater tablet/laptop than the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ especially if you have an iPhone because you will not be able to send text messages from any Samsung tablet if you currently use an iPhone. So far, I’m very happy with my purchase and I’m sure you will be too!!!

So, the small amount of money I received on this iPad was spent on purchasing a genuine Apple charger for Australia! My advice, would be to enquire first and ensure you are receiving a product that you can actually use immediately in Australia.
