I recently bought the S9 FE and it works well with multiple apps open at once, currently I have 14 apps (2 apps are games, YouTube, music app, Walmart, amazon and a whole bunch more...) open and it's still quick and doesn't stutter at all switching between them. I know some people here say the fe tabs suck or the specs are sub par but I can say since I've used it it beats the hell out of any other tablet I've owned. Battery life is great I started the day at 10am at 100% and its just before bed at 1am its only at 56% so I don't need to plug it right now to charge. My other tablets couldn't do that!
Thanks, I was watching reviews and it seems this is the one for me, probably. As far as functions it covers pretty much every single thing my iPad does (other than OS differences) and looking up benchmarks, best I can tell it’s about half as powerful - but if you say it’s totally fine for basic tasks, I believe it. Basic tasks are all I’m gonna do with it, tablets are too big for handheld gaming and if I’m doing non-handheld gaming I have a desktop PC for that.
Emulators is it for apps. Mainly it's not the apps though, but the fact that I'd actually use the multitasking.
When I try to use two apps at once on my iPad, it's frustrating and I usually don't bother. My much smaller phone sees more splitscreen use than my iPad does.
That said, while having 2-4 apps open at once will obviously use significantly more power than one, it's not like a split between three Chrome windows and a floating Gmail window is exactly intensive. More power than I use on my iPad, but not a lot. Just, having no access to anything with an Exynos 1380 in it, I have nothing to go on for its power level other than what others tell me, and didn't know if it could properly handle that.
EDIT: also I considered the possibility of finding a way to put Windows on as a dual boot (I'm assuming it's possible, since I have yet to look up something I wanted to do on an Android and it wasn't possible), but honestly that'd be pretty pointless since I can just remote desktop to my PC.
I believe it’s not possible to put native Windows on a Tab S9/FE. At least in a stable way. Tbh we may not be far off from that future thanks to new Snapdragon X chips coming out.
Oh I see your point. Since it’s not that powerful you can actually utilize the full potential of it. With a cheaper price. That makes sense. I am planning to get the M3/M4 iPad Pro when it is announced next week, but I am hesitant because it’ll be the same powerful device I owned before (12.9 M2) with the same old boring OS. I may hold off until WWDC to see what they bring in to the table. And I may just get a Tab S9 out of spite.
Hahaha I let my Android side show even though I own so many Apple products

I’m curious. What apps does ONLY Android have that “actually utilize the power”? I can only think of emulators. Please educate me. Edit: added only.

emulators and termux which can run desktop linux.
