Sunday 10th December - The Podcast Before … Xmas
Gareth and Ted get together for a *festive* epic as they chat about The Day Before, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8, ChatGPT, Windows 10 support, Duracell Battery, Logitech Astro, Yamaha CD-C603, Rotor R550X, Murena 2, vivo Y100i, final UX3000 and the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. With Gareth Myles and Ted Salmon Join us on Mewe RSS Link: https://techaddicts.libsyn.com/rss iTunes | Google Podcasts | Stitcher | Tunein | Spotify Amazon | Pocket Casts | Castbox | PodHubUK Feedback, Fallout and Contributions Chad Dixon with his 2021 Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 Review I mostly use a tablet for browsing the internet, maps, light gaming, watching streaming video content and video calls & conferencing. I can report that the A8 is excellent for all of these on its clear and bright 10.5" LCD screen. Audio quality is very good on its four Dolby Atmos speakers. There's no booming bass but it's definitely loud enough when watching music and concert videos and there’s a 3.5mm jack. Battery is pretty decent, 7040mAh. I could go a whole week with light use. 64GB I've filled already but there is an SD card slot. My gaming is mostly puzzles so I'm not pushing the graphics capabilities of its Unisoc Tiger T618 (12nm) Octa-core processor. Build quality has proved to be good so far. It's been in a folding case since day one. But even naked, its 508g 6.9 mm thick body feels very sturdy in the hand. The back does warm up a bit during a long video viewing session but no real problem. Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase and at under £170. I would highly recommend this tablet for everyday use. You're getting a whole lot of tablet for a budget price. Tech Addicts Review ------------------ Xerxes Hodivala on Samsung Store at Kings Cross It’s a beautiful space with all their current products on display. I had to get my Fold 4 repaired under warranty. The S-Pen digitiser had failed on each side of the crease. They are going to replace the digitiser, inner screen, metal frame, hinge and both batteries as part of the service. It will basically be a new device when I get it back. The experience was first rate, as good as customer service at an Apple Store. This was actually the reason why I decided on a Samsung rather than a Pixel or OnePlus for my first folding device. I wanted something that I could take to a physical shop for repair if needed.
