Best praise vs top criticism for Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e
“Samsung galaxy tab s5e Look at Amazon renewed or swappa. I just got this for reading/comics and it’s a great price for the screen quality. Stock OS is awful with Samsung bloatware, but it’s not hard to install LineageOS on it.”
“There is ample comment on this model regarding its AMOLED screen. There is almost consensus regarding its superiority to lcd especially in this budget price range. But these are well aged screens. There is plenty of anecdotal reference to burn in problems with OLED over time that negates their advantage over lcd. Or worse. The S5e refurbs available are going on 6 years old now. Many see that as an opportunity to get an OLED screen in a sub 150USD 10.5 inch tablet.... as long as limited power and performance are not deal breakers. But isn't five years of use on an AMOLED generally going to leave it inferior in most cases to a brand new, well reviewed and reputable, budget lcd tablet? ”
