I love android 8.8inch devices they are perfect, it is all about the screen size. If you get a bigger screen it is harder to hold to watch things, can't pocket it, you look strange staring at a giant tab in public. You can do whatever you want Torrent Emulate whatever, Apple can't stop you. I use this the more than my phone, laptops, or desktop. You can fit this in your normal pants pocket if you are a guy. I was going to get a foldable but this is better than a foldable. I mean the screen ratio on the foldables is completely off. I normally use this to watch youtube and use Samsung Internet with adblock. I use the nova launcher for better launcher customization. I have the Gen2 I imported last year Chinese version just have to enable google store. This is my favorite device by a longshot (I have this , 10inch Surface go, Surface pro 11 13 inch, Tab 12inch). My biggest consideration BEFORE buying it was that it was LCD and I haven't seen a good LCD phone or tablet I thought you need an OLED. This LCD is just perfect for anything you want to do it is an amazing high refresh rate gaming panel. I had an oled Samsung 10 inch tab I sold for a tab 12inch oled and this is very comparable. Whereas my 1k tab does not have a snapdragon this does and it is very noticeable if you use streaming (steam in house) there is something wrong with the latency on all MediaTek devices it is lacking something. The CPU is very fast and the Samsung Tab 11 12 inch OS seems worse than this mostly because it is not as easy to use one handed. Looking to sell my Tab I never use it just use my 8.8 gen 2.Also this has video out you can mirror the screen as is or have a second screen external output like a DEX mode. I take this with me on trips and can watch movies on any hotel tv with a cheap usbc to HDMI adapter. I just love it and can't live without it really.This is just so compact you can take it in your pocket. Holding it up doesn't tire out your hands like Anything larger than this. Screen is a much bigger than my Note Ultra and I much prefer watching vids on this. This has no Micro SD card like mine does but get a tiny USB C drive if you really think you need expandablity. You can use this as a small second monitor for a Windows laptop using various software which i do in a pinch. There is a pen that works very well for note taking and also just get a Bluetooth Keyboard and maybe Mouse for light work.I really don't actually use more than 148gb loaded with games and maybe 10 gigs of videos.https://www.cnet.com/tech/computi...ng-tablet/
Speaking as someone who has been an avid Nova Launcher user for well over a decade, please strongly consider replacing it with something else.

Branch has sold Nova Launcher to an even shadier company who is now loading up Nova Launcher to the gills with ads and trackers. Even Nova Prime users are reporting seeing ads in the app drawer... Full-screen ads complete with sound.

The Nova Launcher we used to know and love is truly dead now.

TF kinda pants you wearing to fit this in your pocket? It's literally 3x the size of a phone.

Wild rift is no longer fun. Get a gaming laptop instead lol
I don't regret it at $400 but no longer worth this price anymore.

I bought this about a month and a half ago and it's been a fantastic tablet. Very portable, very light, very peppy. Pretty good battery life. Software isn't that bloated. Great IPS screen. If you're looking for OLED, and you want the brightness that comes from that, then you probably should get a different tablet, but it'll cost more.
Can you elaborate on the battery life?

This plus the Razor Kishi Ultra (also currently on sale on SD) makes a pretty sweet Android, Xbox gamepass, or Nvidea Geforce now handheld gaming device. Plus, you've got a sweet little Android tablet complete with case and cover. I bought these 2 around black Friday for $50 more and am happy. Sound is also surprisingly good for a tablet this size.

UFS 4.0 is 4.2GB/s read/2.8GB/s write, a little faster than NVME 1.3 on PCIe 3.0. Apple doesn't advertise storage speeds so aren't guaranteed to be any faster, but UFS 4.0 isn't exactly what I'd call the dark days where everyone was using eMMC.





Way to bury the lede there guy. Nvme is designed for random IO with a very large queue depth compared to UFS. UFS is designed excel at sequential IO. So in daily use NVMe is guaranteed to be almost twice as fast as UFS4. Let's not split atoms here. There is a well published paper from micron that showed that UFS is bloated and consistently 30-40% slower than Nvme in tests. That's a huge difference for longevity.

I use mine as an emulation beast but also Genshin Impact is a pretty cool BoTW-like game that runs excellent on this. Stardew Valley, Celeste, all the usual pixel games are great on a tablet of this size.

I own this tablet and it's great. I got the chinese version for $235 from aliexpress during their bf sale. My only real issue with this tablet is the lack of SD slot. 256gb is simply not enough if you want to have a decent library of retro, android and switch games. It also overheats easily, but that's excepted since it doesn't have active cooling. Switch games run like butter.

After playing with the tablet for a few months, I gave it to my wife and now she uses it as her dedicated tiktok device... Frown

So I read that white paper. It's only 6 pages, so I figured that would be reasonable. The actual white paper you're talking about says a maximum deficiency of 30% on random reads, not 30-40%, and the board they used restricted the queue depth of the UFS storage to 32 when UFS supports 256. It also doesn't account for UFS's much lower power consumption, the primary reason why UFS is more common than NVMe in embedded devices.Worth noting that white paper was also published *eight years ago* and both NVMe and UFS have made major advances since then, not to mention software overhead is going to be less of a problem than it was in 2018 as SoCs have gotten substantially faster.Ultimately I think I can agree that NVMe is faster, even now, because of how UFS is engineered to put more work on the storage driver's side rather than the flash controller. That said, I think most people appreciate the better battery life than the marginal increase in real-world speeds (assuming the same quality of flash that can actually provide that increase in the first place).
