Um, I will say the last time I","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":546.88,"end_s":553.839,"text":"tried Dex on a Samsung tablet, I was like, there is like some latency going","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":551.68,"end_s":557.519,"text":"on when you connect a wireless uh mouse like I have here.

It seems like Dex","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":577.839,"end_s":584.399,"text":"is like we're going to activate this when you connect to an external monitor","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":582.08,"end_s":588.64,"text":"and this is going to be like a secondary display.

That doesn't seem right because I had a bunch of running apps","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":600.88,"end_s":606.56,"text":"before.

Everyone was going back and forth. Oh, they have these new features. They have mouse support. They have all this new stuff. Meanwhile, Samsung's over here with their Galaxy Tabs. And people are using these as their laptops and desktops through Samsung Dex the entire time. And their latest flagship tablet, the Tab S11 Ultra, is a great example of that future. It's already here. Why are we Why are we talking so much? Let's get to work. Now, this channel is supposed to be kind of like unboxing Plus, but this thing is already out of the box because Samsung sent it to us without a box, which is actually fine because the main thing that I'm interested in with this tablet is that affforementioned desktop like functionality. I mean, look, tablets are cool. People use them for drawing and all that stuff. I don't draw. I've just been interested in tablets and iPads because of that. Steve Jobs or whoever that was that said that. I think it was Johnny IV actually talking about a single single piece of glass that does all your computing. So, we're going to take a look at this thing today. Is it good? Is it impressive? Is it a laptop? I'd say it basically is. But first, let's take a look at the external design. It is nearly the exact same size as its predecessor, the S10, but it is a little bit thinner at 5.1 millimeters thick versus 5.4, which actually matches the iPad Pro M5's thickness. Um, so we're really on a battle of the flagship tablets here. On the back, we have a 13 and 8 megapixel camera here next to a flash. Pogo pins on the back now instead of before I believe they were on the bottom. antenna bands on the side. On the bottom, instead of those pogo pins, we have two little mounting points that will attach to the keyboard attachment, which we will bring out in a second. On the side that uh previously may have been called the bottom, but we're going to call like the right side now, is a USBC port and two speakers matched by two speakers on the opposite side as well, along with a mic. And then on this side that I'm going to call the top. I I do not know. We have volume rocker over here, power button, two more mics, and a micro SD card slot that will accept SD cards up to 2 terb micro SD cards. Now, the new iPad, the M5 iPad Pro, allows you to buy an option with 2 TB of storage inside. This one only goes up to 1 TB. On the front, we have a 12 megapixel camera and of course the massive 14.6 inch display. It's the same resolution as its predecessor, 2960x848, aka WQXGA plus, but you already knew that. And as you can see when I was angling this up, there's like an anti-reflective coating on this, sort of like what you might see on glasses. It's not matte. It's very much reflecting things uh clearly, but it is kind of darkening it and tinting it a little bit so it's not so uh offensive. The last thing to really mention about the external, you know, hardware design is the fact that the previous model, the S10, allowed you to charge and attach magnetically the previous model S Pen to the back of the tablet. The new S Pen attaches to the top of the tablet here and doesn't need to charge. It's just there's no Bluetooth functionality, so you also can't use it as a remote apparently, which you know, some [music] people will be more upset about that than others. But we do have another accessory that I'm way more excited about because I don't draw, but I do type. We have the official keyboard attachment for this called the Book Cover Keyboard Slim. Let's put it in there. So, that goes right there. It's a nice strong magnetic attachment. Pogo pins. Oh, that little thing flips up. I didn't see that before. Look at that. Do you see that? Oo, that's satisfying. And then that comes off like that. And boom. Okay. Apple made an attachment that lets you, you know, adjust the angle that your their tablet is is at. And Samsung is like, \"Oh, we got Dex. We got our desktop experience.\" But we're still giving you a keyboard folio that doesn't you can't adjust it all. That said, I kind of clicked on the keys earlier and it feels pretty good so far. There's a very very distinct tactile bump and there's even like a decent amount of travel for like a tablet cover. We'll see. I'll maybe try typing things once we actually get into using the software, which I will do right now, right after our sponsor. Thanks to Secret Lab for sponsoring this video.

Check it out today using our link in the description. With One UI, they've changed this so that before you could use Dex just with your tablet, cuz these are huge. This is like a nearly 15-in laptop. So, people are like, \"Ah, yeah, I want to use this like a desktop or a laptop.\" So, I'm gonna hit the function and dex keys up here, and [music] I'm going to go into Dex mode. Except, uhoh, this isn't Dex mode, guys. This is Android 16's new desktop mode, which is great that that's there. I've been we many people. I mean, you could ask anybody on the street. Everyone's been asking for an Android official desktop mode on Android, and it's here. I mean, if you use Android tablets, uh you might know this already that it's that it's here and you can open stuff up in in Windows and move them around and like resize them and uh you know, snap them to one side. Boom. Yeah, you can do that. And on the other side, Samsung Dex had a number of features that this doesn't have, like window tiling to quadrants. You can only, as far as I can tell so far, you can only snap to one side or another. I wait, did I exit desktop mode somehow? So, the Dex dieards, God bless them, are upset about this. You can still use Dex if you connect to an external monitor, which I'm going to do now. Now, you might be wondering, Riley, why do you care about it's a tablet? Why don't why are you trying to use it as a desktop or a laptop so bad? Why why is that the only thing you care about? Well, it's because these chips inside these tablets keep getting so dang powerful. Okay, the Tab S11 Ultra has a MediaTek Demenity 9400 Plus, which was their flagship uh chip at the time of building this. Now, some smartphones are starting to come out with the Demenity 9500, but it's a powerful chip. Samsung says that uh compared to the Tab S10, the Tab S11 Ultra, it's getting you like 25ish% uh increase in performance for CPU and GPU. and then 33% increase for the NPU. Now, it still pales in comparison to the iPad Pro M5, the brand new flagship iPad from Apple, which according to our Labs tests, uh, you know, just smoked [music] this thing. But, you know, it's got 12 gigs of RAM. Uh, with the 256 gig and 512 gig versions, you can get 16 gigs of RAM if you get the 1 TB version. So, it's like there's some horsepower here. There's some there's horsepower to be had. So yes, I'm interested in how this thing performs if you know you you plug it in and you use it as a as a desktop because like especially if the main use case that you're using a computer for is not like he hardcore gaming video editing kind of stuff and it's like you know it's your work PC you need to use a browser you need to use Google Docs. Belle brings up Chromebooks and it's like, yeah, Chromebooks are a lot cheaper, but they also, you know, they do leave some performance to be desired. Remember when I was talking about Dex? This is apparently Dex. It looks the same as the Android desktop mode except for this thing down here in the corner. You got little uh Windows style, you know, clock and [music] and notifications and quick settings and stuff. You can turn volume up. You can change your media output. You can check notifications, take a screenshot. So, that's down there. Um, I will say the last time I tried Dex on a Samsung tablet, I was like, there is like some latency going on when you connect a wireless uh mouse like I have here. See, I would not want to use this. This doesn't have the Windows feature where you wiggle a window and then everything else minimizes. Unusable. This is funny cuz like Samsung has had Dex for years. As I've said, they clearly like are invested in maintaining the idea that people should use tablets as in in desktop mode. It seems like Dex is like we're going to activate this when you connect to an external monitor and this is going to be like a secondary display. You can use that tablet display if you really want to, but it's going to be all about this. But if I disconnect that, we're still in desktop mode on this and my alt tab. Oh, I have no running apps. That doesn't seem right because I had a bunch of running apps before. So, it seems that when you connect an external monitor, they're like, you're using this external monitor. We're It's like, forget about this for the most part. You can have multiple desktops like Windows or macOS, which is like a [music] step forward. But if I want to access those full screen tablet apps that I had open over here, I can only have the the app switcher open on one monitor at the same time. This is great. I I just love everything [laughter] about this. This is just making me want to go back to iPad OS and kind of like, you know, deal with how they're doing things because like look, I can minimize this. It's down here, but I know that I have other apps that are open like YouTube. I can put it into windowed mode and then minimize it. Oh, and now it's minimized over there, but I have another app that's like open here. Like on Windows, if you have an app open, you can see that it's open on the bottom taskbar. And the same thing with macOS. Little things like this. Anyways, I'm going on a bit of a tangent. The point is, Google, I love that you're bringing more desktop features and stuff to these devices. Can we make them a bit more a bit more desktopy, a little bit more along that line? I mean, Google has said that Chrome OS is transitioning to basically be Android. Listen, we already have Android laptops. It's right here. But it's halfbaked, so we need to bake it all the way. Now I feel like I'm in a desktop. It looks more like a Mac than Windows. But that's okay. I don't know. This was the first time that I saw this and I was like, this just feels like using Windows, you know? I have I have a connected display. I have my main display and you can move this around to like position it where you want. If you have a Galaxy Tab S10, you probably want to wait a little bit more before you upgrade. So, we thought the more pertinent comparison was with the iPad Pro M5 that we just tested. And there's a couple of interesting points that we came across on our stress test. The Tab S11 scored quite a bit lower than the iPad Pro M5, but it also continued to dip as we did more runs, whereas the iPad Pro uh kind of stayed it hit a certain level and then kind of stayed there throughout all uh you know, subsequent runs. So, the Tab S11 Ultra doesn't have whatever special uh thermal juice the iPad Pro M5 has. That's what they use, by the way. Uh tech tip, thermal juice. [music] In our luminance tests, this thing was able to hit Samsung's claimed peak of 1600ish [music] nits. And that actually it kept up with the iPad Pro M5 there. So, good job, buddy. Unfortunately, despite having a larger battery than the M5 [music] iPad Pro and claiming that it can last for up to 23 hours of video playback, it only lasted 13 hours and 52 minutes. Meanwhile, the iPad Pro claimed it would last 10 hours and actually [music] lasted nearly 16 hours. So, uh, big kudos to Apple for not overselling it in at least that department. To be fair, their battery test may be different from ours, but they said video playback, and our video playback test is a little bit more intensive, but that's a huge difference. After fully discharging the battery, to get back to 100% took an hour and 48 minutes, which isn't that bad for an 11,600 mAh battery. And it did get to 50% in just 40 minutes with our standard 45 watt charger that we use. And then it got to 90% in 72 minutes, which is so just really that last that last stretch it struggles, but that's typical. We will load up Crab Rave. [music] Max it out. Max it out. [music] Now, you know, I love when tablets and laptops have the courage put in some meaty low end. I feel like this this got a little bit too big for its own britches here because there's a there's so much bass that it kind of is like it it feels like [laughter] it feels like there's a giant like bass guitar in there and they're like blanging on it's like blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah speaker's pretty good. I would say that like back at unreasonable level turn on motion photo now so you can edit expressions later with best face and gallery. That's okay. At first, it kind of shocked me because I thought it was like very sharp, but now it doesn't seem that sharp. Flip it around. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. That does seem pretty jelloy. Lots of stabilization though. This is the 13 megapixel camera. >> Oh, that seems that seems better actually. It's hard to say because it's closer up, but that the the jelless definitely seems better on the megapixel than the 8 megapixel. I don't know. And that's the uh that's the 8 megap. Okay, you got your samples. I mean, overall, it's a tablet camera. Can't complain much. Now, with all that said, and with all my jabbering about this being a desktop replacement, what are we looking at in terms of price? This thing starts at $1199 for the [music] 256 gig version with 12 gigs of RAM. And that's laptop price, baby. Even if the processor is up to the task of doing more intensive stuff, if you want to use it as a desktop, I mean, honestly, you probably want to just connect like get a a different Bluetooth keyboard for it and use, you know, existing your existing Bluetooth mouse or whatever because this [music] keyboard attachment, the book cover keyboard slim is $210. It's $1,200. It starts at $1,200. the tablet and then $210 more dollars for the keyboard. I want like I want to, you know, I but I don't know. I guess the argument there is that instead of a laptop, you're buying this and you can use it as a laptop. It's got decks. It's got all those things. Things are getting better and better, but I want to see them get even better than that. I don't know what this means, but doing this video and playing around with this thing has just made me want to try using an [music] iPad. But to be fair to the many many people out there who are very well represented in comment sections on videos like these, people have been using Samsung Dex for many years to be productive and as their, you know, sometimes their main desktop machine and that's great. It's there. It's usable if you need it. We don't, we have Android laptops already. Um, but if we are going to say that Android laptops are a thing and we want those, let's make them better. Okay, let's let's do better. And you can subscribe to ShortCircuit. I know you can. And if you like this video, go watch the iPad Pro M5 one. We talked about it enough in this one. Might as well."}
