QuestionIs there any difference at all between the 128gb and the 256gb models? U can buy a 128gb memory card for 20$, so it would be much cheaper to go that route.
- Answer After having mostly Samsung devices for over 8 years, the most internal storage available, the better. You can't use the memory cards as internal storage, and not all apps can be moved to the SD card. Hope this helps!
QuestionWhy does the Blue 256 only have 6GB of RAM when the Gray has 8? Does it charge wirelessly? Is it Waterproof? Will Hulu work on it since it's not GPS enabled?
- Answer The 256GB models should all have 8GB of RAM regardless of color. This is most likely a mistake when they entered the specs. The tablet does NOT support wireless charging as the back is made of metal not glass and would interfere with the wireless charging coils. The tablet does not have a IP68 rating and therefore is NOT water resistant/proof. Hulu plays just fine and the tablet DOES have GPS support.
QuestionWhat!?? No HEADPHONE jack? Is this true!? I am sad.
- Answer Yes - BUT.... Get the USB C to 3.5mm adapter. I just bought this one the other day - on sale 7.99 (still is) and it works great. NO SAD! :o) https://www.bestbuy.com/site/google-usb-c-to-3-5mm-audio-adapter-white/6302897.p?skuId=6302897
I would recommend:
QuestionDoes this have the feature of "Windows Ink Active" like the Notebook Pro 9?
- Answer It includes the S Pen which is a similar stylus. Notebook 9 Pro has an Active Pen which is similar but different feature set for each. The Tab S6 S Pen has a rechargeable battery that charges when attached to the back of tablet in a little groove magnetically. With the Tab S6 S Pen you can launch shortcut features with the button on the side like accessing a quick notes app like you would with an Active Pen. But with Tab S6 it also gives you some Bluetooth functions where you can launch apps or control media or your camera from a distance. And you can use gestures too, so if you swipe up or down while holding button at a distance it does different things.
QuestionDoes this tablet have any Microsoft office software on it?
- Answer Yes. Samsung has a partnership with Microsoft. I use Word, Excel and PowerPoint on my device.
QuestionThe lack of a real headphone jack is stupid. Does this device support usb-c headphones or usb-c to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter?
- Answer An adapter was included.
QuestionHow does it hold up for ebooks? I do a lot of reading on a tablet on the bus
- Answer I haven't read eBooks on it but it should be fine as I read articles and email with it with no problem. It is a bit larger than most eBook readers and a bit heaver though.
QuestionDo you take the Samsung Galaxy Tab S5E as trade in towards the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6?
- Answer They should but I do not recommend it. Google "Best Buy trade in" to go to their trade in website. They will give you a gift card but it is very very low value, you are better off selling it privately.
QuestionDoes the S6 come with windows 10 or support windows 10
- Answer No, this runs on the android operating system. its like a large cell phone not a pc or laptop. Microsoft surface would be a tablet that runs windows1
QuestionCan you hook a keyboard up to it?
- Answer You can attach the exclusive keyboard cover. You have to buy it separately though.
QuestionIs this comparable to the Surface Pro 6? And which is better for a student who uses Photoshop and conducts research?
- Answer Photoshop is better used in Windows running devices. Therefore, the Surface would be more suitable for that use. However, for media consumption, such as watching Netflix or surfing the web, since the Galaxy Tab has better specifications and better screen than Surface 's (in its price equivalent version) and has a lighter OS, Samsung's would probably be the better option.
QuestionDo the Samsung S5E and S6 have 4G or just wifi?
- Answer There WILL BE an LTE version later on this year.
QuestionIs the bootloader locked (specifically on the WIFI version)? I would like to make sure that I can unlock it to include new ROMs when Samsung stops supporting this tablet
- Answer On mine, if I enable developer options, there is an OEM Unlocking option that will unlock the bootloader. Be warned that it will disable factory device protection features though, and I think it will erase all the data on the device.
QuestionHow fast does the tablet charge
- Answer Can't speak from 0 but mine went from 22% to 100% in 2 hours and 8 minutes using the default 15W charger.
QuestionDose the Samsung s6 have a built in keyboard
- Answer As with any Android or Apple phone or tablet the Samsung galaxy S 6 has a virtual keyboard. However you can purchase an additional accessory that is a combination cover and physical keyboard. With this accessory you can use your device either with the physical or virtual keyboard. I didn't purchase this accessory because the virtual keyboard is sufficient for my needs.
QuestionCan I still keep all my same usernames and passwords from my present samsung tablet if I purchase a new one and will I still get email alerts and e statements as I do now ? Will there have to be adjustments made or will it just continue as is?
- Answer It includes an app called "SmartSwitch" that brings over all apps, data, bookmarks, everything from the old tablet, even game progress! I don't remember if i needed to use my Samsung login to enable this, however.
QuestionCan a brush stylus be used in addition to the S Pen? Or is the S Pen the only drawing device that can be used with this tablet?
- Answer I'm not sure what a brush stylus is, but we have 3 or 4 different stylus' and which one is at hand is the one we crab and use it.
QuestionWill this tab work with ePUB?
- Answer Yes if you are basically talking about reading and epub or even creating and epub. I have the latest Microsoft Edge browser installed on my tab s 6 and use it for opening some epub files. Here are a couple of links that should help: https://www.bing.com/search?q=epub.pub&form=ANNTH1&refig=36d68b699b5e470d9ac38062ae22eb2c&sp=1&qs=EP&pq=epub&sk=PRES1&sc=8-4&cvid=36d68b699b5e470d9ac38062ae22eb2c or https://www.wikihow.com/Open-EPUB-Files These links answered my questions and helped me work with epub,
