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 it is 12cm, guy with 32 waist fits okay in my pockets not super comfy sitting down but it works. 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.
Downside is if you get it submerged it will break (waterdrop res only). Software upgrade policy not the best. Android store will work and gives you updates to your apps but OS updates not great.

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.

I don't regret it at $400 but no longer worth this price anymore.

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.
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...
