You can bypass that by tapping four corners from top left, top right, bottom right, bottom left, do it for two more time in the same order, so total 12 tap, then press volume down, after that you will able to connect to wifi and set up without SIM.

Just FYI, if you want this tablet unlock after 180 days and you don't intent to keep your metro phone number , it's better to activate your tablet with metro sim as soon as possible. Otherwise this could happen:
1. It's time to pay your next metro phone bill, metro will charge you $40, it will charge from the $20 which you have paid for the tablet first, but of course that's not enough, so you still have a $20 due on your account.
2. After this point, you can't activate your tablet since you don't have $20 to pay the first month tablet charge any more...
3. Then your stable could be locked to metro forever since it never get activated on metro.

As per Samsung: Remove animations: Tap this to negate screen effects from apps if your eyes are sensitive to animations. It can also help speed up your device a little.

The A9 has only been released in non-US markets and that too without the Snapdragon processors.
You'll notice a significant difference between app opening and closing. It feels a lot faster and more responsive.
I got Android 14 (December 2023 security patch) and UI 6.0 (installed Metro Sim and activated it). Overall, for $20, it is a very good deal (considering you do all the above steps; otherwise, you will notice a slow start and response).
