But active 3 with 128 GB storage it will be enough in many ways

I bought one today for the same reasons. It was a refurb on Amazon for $80 and has no case/pen or manual and was hoping to find out what all the buttons are for. I also use GAIA.

I have one of these for work and it is a great work tool, fits in the hand. good enough for youtube, music etc. The pen is great for productivity in an engineering environment. The the one i have has a sd card with drawing for every machine the company has at our site. I would use it for my phone if i didn't have one.

I haven't used it a whole lot but I still have it and haven't found anything better. I got a ram mount for it in my truck recently and will be using it on a Moab trip in a few months. Might make a video about my mount setup if there's interest.

I know this is an old review video but I'm looking at picking one up cheap to use for taking digital notes for work. Just wondering if you could confirm whether or not this tablet features palm rejection when using the s-pen. Thanks

I just purchased this tablet to use for school, both as an instructor and student. I'm loving it! It's small enough to comfortably take notes. I use Google Keep, even for handwritten notes during lectures, and transfer them to a Google docs copy in Google Drive. I store most everything on an SD card and having no memory issues. The SPen works great and very happy with this investment.

you can just place your finger on the home button and click. pressing the home button wakes it up just like the side power button. there is a 1/4 second delay from the time you click the home button to where it scans your finger tho. its quick enough to me that it seems seamless. but placing your finger on the home button without clicking it will not scan it.

I really don't care which version I get, so long as Bands 2 and 4 on T-Mobile will work at full 4G/LTE speeds. 1) Which model did you purchase, the SM-T395 or the SM-T397? 2) Do you have insight as to which bands your device has? 3) Which wireless carrier do you use your device on?

The specific item I bought is linked in the description as the 4g model link. The item description says: Network Compatibility : 2G GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 and/or 3G 900(B8) / 850(B5) / 1700|2100(B4) / 1900(B2) / 2100(B1) and/or 4G LTE 700(B17) / 700(B28) / 800(B20) / 850(B5) / 900(B8) / 1700|2100(B4) / 1800(B3) / 1900(B2) /2100(B1) / 2600(B7) : TDD LTE 2300(B40) 2600(B38) Hope that helps, sorry I am not knowledgeable on different network types I've never used t mobile before.

Both the SM-T395 (international variant) and SM-T397 (domestic/United States variant) are comparably priced; it all comes down to whether they will play nice with T-Mobile or one of their MVNOs. I *will* find out the answer; when I do I will return and post an update here.

I am also waching in ths tab

For some strange reason Samsung is marketing the Tab Active series as 'Enterprise Devices'. Therefore you won't see them in a general electronics shop. But the main benefit of this enterprise focus is that Samsung guarantees 4 years of software updates. So the Tab Active Pro (the 10" version, launched in 2019) will get Android 11 this year. It's really meant for rugged use like construction work etc. That's why there's physical buttons and a big pen for use with gloves. The touch screen is even supposed to work with gloves on. I want to buy one (Tab Active 3 these days) for use on my motorcycle. It seems ideal since you can use the navigation app of your own choice. Google maps is great for highway and main roads. For offroad navigation Locus Maps is great, and that one does offline navigation too. I told Samsung, through their community forum, that people like this tablet for use while hiking, offroad motorcyle/car adventures and for clumsy relatives. So maybe they'll turn around some time and sell them through retail channels.

How does the 10" model compare to the 8" Active 2 with regards to speed? Would the 10" be good for navigation too? Asking because there are certain offers for brandnew 10" models for about the same price as the Active 3. I'm not certain what model to choose. The 10" is a bit older and I think the Active 3 is more modern hardware and better in the end.

Personally I would go with whatever size you think is better. I like my 8" because I use it on a tablet mount in my truck, the 10" seems too big for that. The 10" is better for reading plans because our plans on paper at 11x17 sheets so the 8" is much to small for that.
