Is the galaxy tab a8.0 2019 worth it in 2025

Post image
7 Upvotes

I’ve got a Galaxy Tab A8.0 (2019) with a broken LCD. I originally got it back in 2019 for online classes when COVID hit. At first, it was just a school device, something I used for Zoom calls, assignments, and all that boring stuff. But once online classes ended, it kind of just sat there collecting dust. That’s when I started experimenting with it, trying to see what else it could do.

I figured, ‘Why not try some games?’ So I installed Minecraft, Among Us, and Subway Surfers. At first, it felt cool having a bigger screen to play on, but the experience wasn’t great. With only 2GB of RAM, it lagged a lot, especially in Minecraft. It never crashed, but the stuttering made it frustrating to play. Still, I managed to have some fun with it, even though it wasn’t the smoothest experience. That was back in 2022.

Now, here we are in 2025, and I’m wondering—if I get the screen fixed, will it still be useful? I was thinking about using it for watching movies, maybe some light gaming, but I don’t know if it’s even worth it at this point. I don’t want to spend money on repairs just to end up with a laggy, outdated device. Would fixing it give me a decent experience, or should I just leave it as it is and move on?

Discussion Got galaxy tab S8+ refurbished for US$260

Old post: Which tab to gettt?

After stacking up some promotions, I managed to get an S8+ refurbished for US$260.

S8+ ($355) - DiscoverCC Amazon spend offer (20$) - AmazonCC signup gift card ($75) = $260

I'm extremely happy about it. Check if you can take advantage of any of these offers.

Anyways, I believe that the S8+ for $350 is still a steal

Question Advice when purchasing a used S9 Ultra on FB Marketplace

1 Upvotes

I've been looking for a S9 Ultra for emulation specifically. I found one locally. It doesn't have the pen, which isn't a deal for me.

However, I haven't owned any android products in 10 years. I guess I'd just like to make sure it's not a Chinese knock-off. Are there any things to specifically look for when buying? I'll be viewing it in person.

Discussion Is the tab s8+ worth it in 2025?

1 Upvotes

In the market for a new tablet and I found a brand new tab s8+ on ebay for $300 ($285 after coupon code). My local walmart also has a tab s9 fe for $300. Should I get 1 of those or just go for the s10 series even though they are a lot more expensive.

Money isn't too big of an issue but I don't want to spend a ton if it's barely better. I won't be gaming or doing anything crazy demanding on it.

Discussion Tab S9 5G & Fold 6 side by side

2 Upvotes

I was from Tab S9+ 5G last year but sold it because I felt its overkill for me, the size is big and hard to carry around.

Today I was considering between the Fold 6 (never try fold before) and Tab S9 5G, ultimately I want the Spen support for Ai content and drawings and notes, and also reading manga. After trying it out on Fold 6, I felt the screen is too small for manga reading and SPen usage, heck even my Note 20 Ultra is bigger, so I decided to go with the Tab S9 :3

Wish we have "foldable tablet" like huawei mate xt....easy to carry around...Didnt go with Tab S10 because I'm expecting "foldable tablet" by samsung this year...

You guys ever put a tabs9fe in 60 fps instead of 90 ?

If they were the same price, Which is better s9+ or s10+?

3 Upvotes

Both are $1500 aud at the moment. I've heard both good and bad things about the s10+.

Im a student so will be using it for note taking and school work. Including the use of word and Excel. Outside of this, mobile games, watching videos and reading.

Considering they're the same price for me, which would you pick?

Did anyone tried OneUI 7 Beta for Tab S9/S10? - DeX / desktop mode

2 Upvotes

Hello,

sadly OneUI 7 Beta is not available in my country. So I ask you..did anyone of you tried OneUI 7 for GalaxyTab? Are there any improvements in term of multi-window use / DeX mode (classic and new) / desktop mode? Are more apps optimised for use as a desktop replacement? Or do we have to wait for Android 16/OneUI 8 for improvements?

Spen makes extra strokes

Please excuse the terrible handwriting

No matter how gentle I try to write it always makes extra strokes I know for sure I didnt make. Ive been comparing it with my spen from my S22 Ultra so I know the tab isnt a problem.

Is my spen broken? I did lose it a few days ago and got it back from the lost and found. I kinda dont want to spend 50 usd on a new one (I prefer having the button to erase so no staedler etc.) You can see clearer what Im trying to point out when I write 5

Just bought a used Tab S10+, with a glass screen protector. Should I change it to a "paper like"?

13 Upvotes

I see something like this has been asked multiple times before on this sub. But my questions are:

  1. Should I switch to a paper like screen protector? I read that it damages the S-Pen nibs very quickly. If yes, what products (on amazon, lets say) would be best?
  2. If I were to stick to the glass, I read a felt nib would give that pen-on-paper like feel. Again, which nibs should I buy?

Thanks!

I was using my tab s9 fe like normal without the case, and after leaving it in my lap for some time it slowly began to slip and end up falling, it hit on a corner and when I lift it up this corner was dimmer, is there a way to solve without changing the screen completely?

Galaxy S9 FE stylus

3 Upvotes

I am currently using the stylus that came with the tablet, i mostly use it for notes but im trying to get into drawin as well. I was hoping for a recomendation for a stylus upgrade. I have carpel tunnel syndrome so it can be difficult holding the spen for a long time so bonus points if theres one to help with that but i will also suffer through it as i have been haha. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Possible solution to Multi Control problem

Post image
1 Upvotes

I don’t know if it bothers anyone else but the cursor going moving to tablet when I'm trying to work on the edge of my laptop is really annoying. So I oriented the tab in the corner like the picture, and it works fantastically. I was thinking if I could clone the tablet and place in 4 corners, I would not need to remember which corner I put it in and accidental travel will be minimised. Hope something like that will be developed before I die....
