What are you folks using tablets for aside from maybe watching YT? I have two collecting dust that I have no use for. My phone's screen is 6.7" and does everything a tablet does. For watching movies, I got a TV. For any serious job, I use my laptop

Not dissing your choises, just wondering what you are using them for
The benefits of a tablet over a phone is 1) Better battery life. Save your phone's battery life. 2) Larger screen means you see more stuff. I prefer to see desktop view over mobile view. Seeing slickdeal and all messageboards look better in desktop mode. Chrome and youtube is much better with tablet. 3) Better for typing with a much larger onscreen keyboard. The keyboard is TWICE as bigger than the keyboard on my Motorola 6.8" screen. It is like 2.5× bigger than 6.1" phone. Typing benefit is physical keyboard > tablet > phone. 4) Stylus for drawing? 5) Lot of people watch movies/TV shows with Netflix, Prime, Hulu, Paramount+, Peacock. 6) Some people are ditching laptop for a tablet. Easier to carry outside the home than a laptop.

I have the Samsung Galaxy A54 with a 6.4" AMOLED screen and the same Exynos processor. It is a great phone but I am picking up my S9 FE tablet over any phone at home for basic uses at home. Save the phone for out of home use, texting, camera, etc.

* Some people don't want to carry around a huge screen phone too. I have a 6.7" and even a 6.8" screen phone but now use a 6.4" screen as my daily driver. Mid size screen phones are more comfortable to use and carrying around. A small screen phone is even more comfortable than a mid size screen phone but it is less enjoyable for me so I avoid 6.1" phones now.

How does this device compare against iPad Air 5th gen M1?
Keep your Ipad. It's way more stable. I want a Android because of their screenshot video recording with internal audio for zoom class only and my S6 lite which was bought in 2022 is now very unreliable, it's lagging and wait a long time to open, position of camera and no keyboard supporting professionally make it the worst choice I've made ever. I have m1 Ipad Pro gen3 still working like brand new and I think yout Ipad may be still the same.

Very nice summary.
I can add two more:

1. With a bluetooth mouse (or even USB-C mouse) and a bluetooth keyboard,
I can do work with Remote Desktop Services or Citrix Virtual Desktops. (using the tablet as a terminal frontend to connect to a PC server in the office)
Technically I can also keep my PC turned on at home and connect to it while on the go if I wanted.

2. I found it much more enjoyable to play video games on a large screen. In addition to mobile games it is also possible to play AAA PC games via streaming services. (Amazon Luna, NVIDIA Geforce Now, Microsoft Xcloud)

Of course I can also do the above with a larger phone, but a 7" display is still not ideal for doing work or playing video games.

Can anyone advise if it's worth upgrading from a s7+? Is the keyboard from that model compatible with this?

This would be a pretty substantial downgrade from an S7+

Good deal. Though as a 22 S6 Lite owner, think I'm gonna pass. Mainly cause I'd also need another case, screen protector and have to setup everything again. All for a device I feel guilty as it is for not using enough. The thing I actually use it for the most, ebook reading & note taking, the Lite is actually better due to slightly longer battery life (weaker cpu) for everything except gaming:
Battery life tests
Web browsing 08:42 hr vs 09:15 hr
Watching video 12:33 hr vs 13:14 hr
Gaming 05:38 hr vs 05:35 hr
Standby 145 hr vs 151 hr
Great deal though. Really am just too lazy with not quite enough upside.

Reviews mention GPS issues
My review is no GPS issue. Finda my location anytime I pull it up on google maps for directions.

Only other point of note is that if u like to use wired headphones you will need a USB -C adapter.

Otherwise this this a fantastic deal for a great tablet for content consumption.
I paid $130 for mine in July with a 2020 S6 Lite trade.

Battery life has been remarkably better than the S6.

@$30 less it's a 5 ⭐'s deal.

It doesn't let me trade in an S6 Lite for the 6GB version only for the 8GB, which brings the total to $170.
Same thing was happening with me. Chatted with a rep who generated a cart link on their side with a total of $94.99 + tax (I had EDP discount too).

I trade-in for 6GB/128GB w/o logging in, no issue. The only issue I had was it was unable to authorized G-Pat and have to reorder and pay using alternative payment method.

Bigger onscreen keyboard that is 2 or 2.5x bigger matters especially for people with big hands and big thumbs. It is absolutely easier to type on a tablet than a phone. Imagine when the tablet on screen keyboard is 2 or 2.5x bigger than a phone on screen keyboard. Compare the size for yourself. Get a tablet from someone and you will realize that the much bigger onscreen keyboard helps.

People type with their fat thumb on their phones. Leads to misspellings.

People type with their smaller pointer finger on the tablet. Way faster. More accurate presses especially with onscreen keyboard 2 or 2.5x bigger.

If one has a 6.1" screen phone or the iPhone SE 2022 with a 4.7" screen, it is a terrible typing experience.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank newatpcs

All I have to say is if you make any kind of trade in, make sure that your trade-in product is 100% perfect. They screwed me on a trade-in with my phone. They sent me pictures of a phone that was not even mine and said that the battery had expanded and there were scratches. I had taken pictures before I sent it and my phone was perfect. There's no way you're going to beat them because they're way bigger than you are and they have way better attorneys. Plus they won't send your old item back because it has batteries that are hazardous. So basically I was screwed out of a $400 trade-in purchase on a phone. I continue to make these comments because Samsung screwed me and I'm giving a little back.

Have an 7 FE and see that the screen size is smaller on the 9 FE, unless you shell out extra for the 9 FE plus. Was hoping for a better trade in value than 75. Hopefully better trade in value will come later on.
